Discussion Groups Launch
We've launched two discussion groups -- The Carpool and Trendspotter & Co. We hope the first will help Washington area commuters get from point A to point B safely, and as quickly as possible. We look for the second to offer fashion advice and useful shopping tips to those in need of either.
Washington Post Assistant Virginia Editor Steven Ginsberg will moderate The Carpool by offering quick takes on commuter issues and posing questions for group participants three to five times a week. Suzanne D'Amato, The Post's Sunday Source fashion editor, will host Trendspotter and Co.
Both expect washingtonpost.com readers to do most of the heavy lifting by contributing ideas and advice to the group discussion threads.
"We know what you're going through," says Ginsberg. "Together, maybe, just maybe, we'll make some sense out of commuting in modern day Washington."
D'Amato encourages readers to debate what will be in fashion this spring, "gossip about which celebs are getting it right (and wrong) on the red carpet, share your tips on new local stores, or talk about which boutique's snooty service needs a makeover."
The Carpool and Trendspotter & Co. are the first of a number of moderated discussions that washingtonpost.com will launch over the next few weeks. Please email us with your comments and suggestions.

I appreciate your comment but I went through the same thing and found a great attorney named John Hermina who was willing to fight for the underdoge. Through my research, I learned that John Hermina made a life out of helping the oppressed and the weak. John Hermina has been practicing law for about 20 years. He has taken on the establishment and has paid for it dearly. John Hermina continues to work with his brother George Hermina and many non-profit organizations. I think we should encourage this type of behavior by letting people know how great it is to have an attorney like John Hermina.

The primacy of the Congress is absolute in our constitutional democracy, certainly in regard to control of money, as required very specifically by our constitution. Not a penny can be spent by our national government without authorization by a majority of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
A majority of the current House and the Senate, as elected/directed by voters last fall, have acted in recent weeks to set deadlines for the use of military funding in the misbegotten war in Iraq. They need do no more on that matter. This is how Richard Millhouse Nixon was forced to end another misbegotten war, in Viet Nam a generation ago.
If George Bush refuses to sign the supplemental appropriation bill which, perhaps too generously, provides full current funding for our military, the further blood shed in Iraq will be on his hands, not on congress. Congress may not, at least until even more citizens are outraged, be up to holding hearings to investigate all the high crimes and misdemeanors of Bush and Cheney. But under the current circumstances the congress is fully entitled, even obligated, to cut other funds. The obstreperous, petulant, lying little child in the big Oval Office chair cries out to be disciplined. Congress otherwise is an enabler of bad behavior by this addict to power, a zealot who many say only attained power by electoral fraud.
This misbehaving adolescent can be, should be, grounded. No funds for Air Force One, no helicopters, limousine caravans, water, or electricity. He can leave the White House and run as far as he wants for exercise. He can even obtain pocket money for food other than bread and water or other purposes from anyone, foreign or domestic, but without congressional authorization not a dime from the congress of the United States.
The whole world is watching as the super power who claims to teach the world about democracy fouls its own nest, and all else.

SEATTLE – Attorney General Rob McKenna today announced a $14.5 million settlement with Chase Bank and Trilegiant Corp. that resolves allegations the companies unlawfully deceived consumers into paying for memberships for programs that purportedly provided discounts for certain goods and services. The money will be shared by 15 states. Approximately 3,000 Washington consumers may be eligible for refunds.
"Consumers must give their informed consent before obligating themselves to purchase products and services," McKenna said. "Chase and Trilegiant solicited consumers with offers of 'free' trials in membership programs. Many of these solicitations were checks for $2 to $10 that resembled a customer refund or rebate. But by cashing the check, a customer supposedly agreed to enroll in one of Trilegiant's many programs. Consumers who failed to cancel by a specific date were charged membership fees on their Chase credit or loan statements."
The settlement will be filed today in Thurston County Superior Court and courts in 14 other participating states. Trilegiant and Chase also will pay nearly $6.2 million to the settling states to cover civil penalties and recoup of attorneys' costs and fees. Washington state will receive $75,000 from each of the two companies. Chase Home Finance and TRL Group, Inc., are also named as defendants in the settlement.
The agreement also requires Trilegiant to pay more than $8.3 million in restitution to consumers who request refunds for membership fees. Washington consumers may share nearly $500,000 in restitution, although the exact amount depends on how many people in participating states request refunds and are determined eligible. Washington is home to approximately 6 percent of the total number of consumers who purchased memberships and live in participating states.
Trilegiant must also send renewal notices to consumers who have active memberships advising them that they have purchased the membership and providing information about how to cancel.
The states alleged consumers did not realize the solicitations were sent by Trilegiant because they were usually included in consumers' mortgage or credit card statements or mailings with Chase's logo on the envelope and letterhead. Chase allegedly reviewed and approved marketing materials used by Trilegiant.
Consumers who cashed the checks, thinking they were rewards or refunds, were enrolled in programs such as AutoVantage Gold Service, Buyers Advantage Service, CompleteHome Service, Just for Me, Pet Privileges Service, Shoppers Advantage Service, Identity Safe Service and Travelers Advantage Service. Many consumers belatedly discovered they had unwittingly purchased memberships in several different clubs, according to the states' complaint.
The settlement requires Trilegiant and Chase to reform their business practices. Trilegiant or any other that solicits Chase customers for membership must clearly disclose all terms of any "free trial", including when customers will be billed and how they may cancel. The companies are prohibited from identifying a solicitation as a "reward" or "rebate" offer, using checks to enroll customers into a program or for any other reason other than a benefit or incentive.
In addition to Washington, states participating in the settlement include Alaska, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Vermont. Louisiana and Ohio also announced settlements with Trilegiant.
Refund Requests
Washington state residents are eligible for restitution under the settlement if they who signed up for membership in a Trilegiant club through any bank or other company they did business with and were first charged membership fees on or after July 1, 2001.
Consumers must file a written complaint with the Attorney General's Office within nine months. Complaints can be filed online at www.atg.wa.gov or downloaded from the Web site. Call 1-800-551-4636 to request a form by mail or receive additional information.
All consumers who have already filed complaints will receive full restitution. If there are not enough funds to make full restitution to all consumers who complain, then those consumers who file complaints before the deadline months will receive a share of the remaining restitution dollars.
Membership programs sold by Trilegiant included, but were not limited to:
If you are unsure whether you purchased a membership program, carefully examine your credit card and mortgage statements and monitor your mail for notices from Trilegiant. Consumers can also contract Trilegiant electronically via the company's Web site at www.trilegiant.com or by mail at Trilegiant Corporation, 100 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06850, attn: K. Buonagurato. Consumers outside Washington should contact the Attorney General's Office in their state.

Catherine Engelbrecht should be careful. Criminal conspiracies will not always be left w/o punishment just because the right wing nut jobs have influence.
Someone as weak as Janet Napolitano* can be replaced by a person less attuned to the political BS and more in sync with the Rule of Law.

"True the Vote responded by referring the letter to its legal team, according to a spokesman."
Good! Now, could Rep Cummings refer the matter to the FBI and DOJ with a notice of High Priority Investigation?
BTW, why is it that the DCCC and democrats haven't take ANY action to expose these bandits already? First, they don't care about judicial nominations, then they couldn't be bothered with voting integrity until election time.

Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
May 1st 2011 1:31AM wtb edit button, meant to say in my last sentence that I had stopped paying Blizzard money not that I had never paid them money as that would not make sense. I've been WoW clean for 3 months and counting.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
May 1st 2011 1:28AM You know what I couldn't agree more. Blizzard should push about 1/3 of their subscriber base to quit by making raiding even less assessable. I'll be over here playing Rift with open arms to welcome all the dejected Wrath Babies like my self. Our development money paid through subscriptions and game/expansion purchases would definitely be better spent at another company such as Trion at this point. Blizzard slighted me and players like me I have not paid any money to Blizzard and will continue to not do so until they come to their senses.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 3:49PM Same thing here, most of the people in my guild relocated over to Rift because we weren't getting anywhere in this expansion raiding.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 3:45PM Sounds like you're a good candidate for Rift; that's what I did man. Decided it wasn't worth paying Blizzard money for a game that I'm not seeing any of at lvl 85.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 3:43PM Maybe you should quit and play Rift too; we're sure enjoying the hell out of it and the end game is alot more up to the speed of some one that preferred Wrath of the Lich King. So by all means man hit that cancel button and throw your weight behind a company that deserves your money. A company that has reduced you to pugging BH once a week and getting abused in RDF is not deserving of your money man, more people need to teach Blizzard a financial lesson as opposed to paying them and banging your head against a wall. Remember something man I was in your shoes back in January but you have to realize that if you keep paying them money Blizzard will have no incentive to change a damn thing.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 3:37PM Couldn't agree more, this is part of the reason why I quit WoW back in January and started playing Rift. Blizzard gave me end game content I could do finally in Wrath and took it all away in Cata; so I took my money away.
Breakfast Topic: Are you ready for more raiding content? {WoW}
Apr 30th 2011 12:37PM My situation was similar. Most of my guild and my self quit this game for Rift as well; we decided the mechanics for raiding were too punishing. I got tired of tanking because of RDF which I had to use because my wife only logged in during off hours. Back in January during Magmaw our latency wasn't terrible but we didn't have the margin of error that the great Blizzard decided was mandatory this expansion and my wife wound up dieing and wiping half the ranged because of lag; hell I even tried keeping an eye on the AOE effect on the ground by turning my camera angle to warn her but my latency from both of us playing at once caused me to miss it in that split second as well. My wife and I decided to cancel our accounts that night; as soon as I found out my guild was starting head start over at Rift I canceled my LoftR Online rebound account and started playing that game. Sure Rift copied a lot of stuff from WoW ( the good stuff in my opinion) but they added a hell of a lot of interesting stuff that Blizzard never got right like Invasions, and spec varieties. It just was not a good feeling for me to go from a 11/12 ICC, to a tank that dreaded queing for 5 man Heroics and only downed the PVP boss in Cata. At least in Rift we down the Raid Rifts every week, and are currently working on the 3rd boss in Greenscale. Experts (Heroics) are still challenging in a good way and you feel satisfied at the end of completing one instead of relieved. I personally think Blizzard could learn a thing or two from Rift.
Breakfast Topic: Behavior unbecoming a player {WoW}
Apr 29th 2011 12:47PM Crap like this is why I quit playing WoW all together. I started playing WoW in 2005 but I had never leveled a character to cap until Wrath. For most of the Wrath expansion I tanked in 5 mans, and raids. Once Cata started I couldn't deal with it any more; putting up with the verbal abuse by PUG's and being a in a guild that couldn't down a single raid boss after being King Slayers a few weeks before.
Every one in my guild either went inactive or started playing Rift. Hell my experience from tanking in Cata turned me off so much that I just play a support role (Bard atm) now so that I can still get groups easy but I never have to worry about the bull crap pressure that was dropped in my lap as a tank in Cata.
I'll part with some for food for thought . . . If Blizzard really wanted more tanks and healers then they would bring Tanking and Healing back to Wrath Difficulties. I know it's going to take a lot to woo me back to re subbing.
Breakfast Topic: Have you ever taken time off from WoW? {WoW}
Apr 27th 2011 11:51AM I've been taking a break since I quit playing WoW at the end of January; I didn't appreciate the sea change Blizzard dropped on us with this expansion. After struggling through Heroics, getting geared through Heroic Blues/BOE Epics/Crafted Epics/and Rep Epics I hit a brick wall because we couldn't get any raid bosses down. After 2 weeks of MIA healers I said screw it and quit the game.
I've been playing Rift since the Head Start and have been having a great time. The only draw backs to Rift at this time are the linear lvling paths but then again if you have played WoW we all know that the lvling experience from 60 to 85 is linear as well. Public group Rift Invasions keep things fresh, Expert 5 mans (Heroics) are a lot more forgiving. The boss mechanics don't require you to have fast reflexes like Cata does. Basically if you see something appear that you have to move out of/get away from if you have delayed reaction's like my self then you're not going to punished for it; the important thing is that you move. In Cata if you see it happening it's already too late.
My WoW break won't end until they bring WoW back down to my speed in end game; like Wrath of the Lich King speed.
MMO Roundup: SOE's downtime, SWTOR subscribers, and RIFT's latest {WoW}
Apr 26th 2011 5:44PM I disagree regarding Rift; while the leveling process is pretty linear the end game is much more refreshing casual friendly then Cata's end game turned out being. Rift also has a unique public class system that pulls the community together during Rift Invasions. Yes there are patches every day but you are only talking about 30 minutes at a time once a day in the mornings. thats 3.3 hours per week which is half the down time that WoW has. There is a hell of a lot more variety for builds then WoW does. Some times I miss Wrath of the Lich King; but when Cata came out I needed to find the closest game I could to give me that smooth gaming experience I felt when raiding in Wrath; I have found that in Rift. Some day if Blizzard decides to bring WoW back down to the difficulty level of the Ulduar days I may consider coming back.

hello, new to the forum and have read some of the old posts but haven't seen what i am experiencing. I was driving my mower running good then stopped moving. I looked and the drive belt was shredded. I have since replaced teh drive belt. When i engage it into gear releasing the brake the belt turns and without the wheels on the axel turns (slowly) and i can grab the axel and hold it from turning. the belts still turn while I hold the axel from turning. Thought it was just a belt? is it more? Looked and trannys are expensive as a mower. It is an MTD Mastercut 42" deck no hydrostat deck. Thanx for any help. I don't want to replace an expensive part if it is just a dollar part that is doing this. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Model #s may be of help. You want to confirm that both wheels are locked to the axle. IE is the square key in place. Does there seem to be good tension on the belt? |
Was the "shredded belt" still in place before you replaced it? or was it chewed up and spit out being a loose piece of rubber? Either way there is a possibility that the new belt is not routed through its pulleys properly, and therefore is not tight enough to drive the trans input pulley. If the new belt is not the identical OEM belt it might be a bit too long which will also cause inadequate tension in the pulleys. |
My feelings about using hardware store belts is: You will spend much more cash by buying a belt that "looks about right", but isn't, and if ya have to drive 5 miles in both directions, you might as well have gone to the dealer, or a reputable repair shop, and saved a lot of down time! Invariably, the hardware store belt won't be correct, and will require many trips back and forth to finally/maybe get one that will work! |
I took the shredded belt to the place that I purchased the mower and they used the number on the belt to get me a new belt. I put it on and it is tight to where I can not make it slip if I try to hold it. I am wondering if it is like tomplum mentioned if there is a keyway that isn't there? I had to take one of the pulleys off to put the belt on and i am going to look tonight if when I put the pulley back on and tightended the nut that it is just enough to turn the axel but not hold the axel. to me to break a belt wouldn't break a tranny? Thanx for the input everyone. |

Situated in the highly prospective Tien Shan gold belt, a JORC compliant resource of 5.76Moz at a grade of 4.03g/t has been delineated at the Chaarat Gold Project. The Company's key objective is to become a low cost gold producer targeting annual production of 200,000 ounces from the development of the Chaarat Gold Project.
Chaarat has several other promising prospects also located within the Kyrgyz Republic. An exploration programme is underway at both the Company's Chontash project, located in the Akshirak range of mountains, as well as at the Mironovskoye asset.
Drilling in the Chaarat licence area has increased the JORC resource from 3.134m ounces following the 2007 season to 5.59m ounces in 2012.
Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited listed on London`s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) on 8 November 2007 with the ticker symbol CGH.
Chaarat Gold Project
Chaarat is in the process of adding value to the Chaarat Gold Project by preparing a definitive feasibility study (DFS), making progress on obtaining the related permits, progressing infrastructure and continuing our discussions with strategic partners. The completion of a robust DFS will substantiate the value and potential of the Chaarat deposit.
A programme of approximately 15,000 metres of infill drilling will be designed and executed during the 2013 season, with data collection for the DFS taking place at the same time, both of which are expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
Mac DeGuire, is responsible for coordinating and managing the DFS. His experience includes the San Cristobal project in Bolivia which is an $800 million 40,000 tpd open pit silver, zinc lead deposit and in the top 6 world-wide producers of each metal. He managed the project development and initial operations of Newmont's $225 million gold heap leach project in Uzbekistan and the feasibility study for the Yanacocha gold heap leach project in Peru.
During 2013, Chaarat will conduct an aggressive infill drilling campaign to increase resource and convert inferred resource to the measured and indicated categories. Particular focus will be given to increasing the open pittable resource to support a large scale mining operation which will operate for the initial few years of the mine life.
In parallel work during the season will be carried out to bring the level of knowledge to the standard required for the DFS in the following areas:
The investigation work outlined above will begin in May 2013 with the award of the DFS contract expected in the third quarter of 2013. A timetable will be agreed for completion of the DFS with the successful contractor.
Work will continue on improving infrastructure as follows:

1. Can Tomble use his heroic feat to "teleport" through the doors in part 2 of Cardinal's Plight? The objective being to deny the Overlord the chance to spawn monsters prior to Tomble leaving (since he'll have to use the door).
2. On "Death on the Wing" part 1 boulders block line of sight and movement. However, spiders can enter and end their movement on boulders. Can a hero attack a spider on a boulder, considering the boulder blocks line of sight?
3. Can an immobilized hero "scramble over a boulder" with a successful Awareness test? (Pretty sure I already know the answer)
4. Can a hero who is under the effects of Dark Charm move through monsters' squares? (The card says "as if the hero were a monster".)

BMW 3-Series Lease Questions
swamee Posts: 32Car_man: Along the lines of 0 down would you also advise against trading in? And if I have top tier credit, should they automatically offer the .00129 MF or is that a haggling point?
And finally per this offer (http://www.leasetrader.com/lease-specials/2012-BMW-328i-16418.xhtml) from an apparently direct dealer, the fees are almost $1400 - is that standard?
Thanks a lot for all the info/insights -

gd0t Posts: 4I was just at a BMW dealership yesterday. Last month (April) there was a manufacturer rebate, but none this month. Probably because they assume people will be out and about spending their tax refund dollars. Salesman will ping me when May's programs come out. I would suggest you do the same?
G'luck! -

Don't remember exact selling price but with 1000.00 out of pocket it was 585 with tax included .the program was a 3500 Eco credit with 1000.00 lease cash and 750.00 in loyalty.They now have 500.00 credit towards first payment and a 1000.00 credit for a ultimate drive event .So the out of pocket should go to 0 and my payment should be reduced as if I put 500 of real cash .That should bring my payment to approx 570 with tax. I can put the multiple sec deposit of 3850 to bring the payment to 525.00 which I might as I get that 3850 back at the end if the lease .Is this a good deal and is the 3850 tied up for the lease worth the 45.00 less per month ? -
dchabitant Posts: 21Just wanted to thank the members of this forum for providing so much useful information, all of which helped negotiate a pretty good price on a 335i xDrive. Especially want to thank car man, kyfdx, kromix, jasonmdbmw. Armed with all the information this forum provided, I emailed 5 dealers--telling them the car I wanted to buy and what I was willing to pay; if they were willing to sell at that price we could close the deal same day, no fuss or haggling. Got an immediate positive response and made a deposit same day. Now awaiting delivery!
Btw, found a very good, straight-talking, honest salesman in D.C. area. If anyone needs a recommendation let me know. Would be happy to help out. -
dchabitant Posts: 21Sure. I dealt with Jim at BMW of Fairfax. I sent the sales manager an email stating that I was willing to pay $51,100 on a (nearly) loaded 335i xDrive--MSRP $57,695. Jim and the sales manager agreed to the price, and that was it.
Note that the price includes a Diplomatic Discount (5% off base MSRP). So I think I paid about $600-$700 over actual invoice. I probably could have done a bit better. But, as I see it, it was a fair deal for both parties. Even if I managed to get another $500 off, on a 3-year lease, the actual saving is maybe a couple of hundred bucks. I figured: pay $200 more and get the deal done quick.
If you're shopping, send him a quick email with the price you want to pay, and see if he accepts. (You can tell him Giovanni referred you.) -
dchabitant Posts: 21$51,100 does NOT include fees. But the dealer was very straight forward and upfront about those. He didn't try to pad the money factor, and he didn't pad the fees--Acquisition fee is $725, doc/processing is $399 (a bit high, but standard for VA). Other than tags and taxes, no other fees. Everything above board, nothing hidden.
ranjohn Posts: 17Haha, as soon as you said the "DC" area I figured it would have been near Falls Church/Fairfax. I actually live in WV for now but will be moving to the northern part soon (close to DC). I actually go to that area a lot so I'll def look into it. My term ends this July but it's not too early to look into this.

dchabitant Posts: 21You're very welcome. Just passing on info I've gathered from others. Regarding incentives: While BMW has eliminated the incentives that were being offered in March (on most 2013 models), they actually raised the residual value by a couple of percentage points. So it's not all bad. In fact, if you're car is over $50k, it's actually a slightly better deal than $1,000 cash incentive (if you're leasing).

Bigari's eyes gleam, just like they used to when he was dreaming up fantastical new inventions for the $10 million, 400-employee business he built around his twelve Colorado Springs McDonald's restaurants. Gadgets like high-tech doughnut cooking machines, french-fry robots and self-cleaning PlayPlace ball pits. His boyish face is plastered with the same eager grin he once flashed while describing the centralized telephone call center he designed to handle all of his restaurants' drive-thru orders, revolutionizing his all-important to-go business. And he pumps his fist in the air, just like he did last October when he shattered the world record for most cars served in a single-lane drive-thru ("Mr. Big," November 3, 2005).
But Bigari's days of basking beneath the glow of the Golden Arches are in the past. On June 15, Colorado's burger king sold his restaurants, and all that's left of his Springs-based empire is Mr. Biggs' Family Fun Center, a warehouse packed with laser-gun battles, self-serve pizza and a Technicolor bowling alley, Bigg City Lanes, once the location of his drive-thru call center. But the call-center headsets won't go silent. Bigari already has bigger, grander plans for his famous fast-food invention.
"It feels like God tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'It's time to change the world,'" says the 47-year-old. He sees the impetus behind walking away from his quick-service empire everywhere he looks -- at the front counters of his former restaurants, through the rolled-down car windows at his old drive-thrus, even here, stocking the shoe cubbies at Bigg City Lanes: the country's working poor. "They are invisible. They are everywhere," he says. And he wants to help them all.
He launched his plan in 2002, with the creation of America's Family Inc., a non-profit program that connected low-wage workers in his restaurants -- and at other Colorado Springs businesses -- with such resources as affordable health care, financial assistance and continuing-education opportunities. By the end of last year, America's Family was serving more than 25,000 clients, and Bigari was ready to super-size the organization. To do so, he realized he'd have to become the full-time patriarch of America's Family. "I looked at America's Family, and there were two significant barriers to its growth. One was me," he says. "Would you rather try and help 39 million people, or try to break the drive-thru record again?"
The other barrier was financial: Employers had to pay to be a part of America's Family and offer the company's benefits to its employees. To take the program nationwide, Bigari had to make the program cost-free for companies, yet still ensure it was attractive to low-wage workers. It was the same problem he'd faced with his fast-food joints: How do you serve as many people as possible without skyrocketing costs? To solve the conundrum, he found another quick-service sector that he could exploit through high-tech wizardry and out-of-the-box schemes: the so-called predatory-lending industry. He's restructured America's Family around the pawnshops, the rent-to-own stores, the high-cost second-mortgage companies, the auto-title pawn companies and, most significantly, the payday-loan operations that have long kept those he wants to help trapped in economic quicksand.
"There are several industries built around making wheelbarrows full of money off the poorest of the poor." Bigari says. "This is financial jujitsu. It just seemed natural to me that we could create lending opportunities for these folks with lower rates that would help our members and create revenue for the nonprofit."
It's easy to see why Bigari chose predatory lenders to be on the receiving end of his economic kung fu. In particular, the business of payday loans, small-sum loans that usually must be paid back by the borrower's payday, has been booming ever since the scheme first hit the streets in the early 1990s. In 2000, Colorado was the scene of 530,000 payday loans. Four years later, the number of payday loans doubled, and the amount of money changing hands had broken $300 million. But for many, payday loans are far from a financial godsend. A $100 payday loan in Colorado comes with a $20 finance charge -- or, in other words, a 520 percent annual interest rate, dwarfing that of any credit-card cash advance. And while Colorado law limits payday-loan terms to a maximum of forty days, legal loopholes allow consumers to become trapped in a quagmire of debt, paying off one payday loan with another.
Instead, Bigari imagines a scenario where a down-on-his-luck worker calls up his employer and explains how he can't come to work because his car broke down. The company then refers the worker to its partner charity, America's Family, which will loan him $300 to fix his wheels. Plus, if he fills out a "Budgeting 101" worksheet, he'll only have to pay a trivial finance charge on the advance. Then America's Family will offer him another loan, maybe $500. Here's the catch: He'll pay it back over six months, building up his credit history, and along the way he'll meet with a financial counselor, learning about money management, government programs he can use, and educational opportunities. In other words, Bigari will use cheap loans to lure people to America's Family, then he'll teach them to stop borrowing money.

May 12, 2012 10:04 AM
PHOENIX (AP) - Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a bill repealing a year-old law requiring that state income tax returns report and pay sales tax on online purchases.
The bill doesn't repeal the obligation to pay what's formally known as use tax.
But by repealing the requirement to report it on income tax returns, the state is backing away from making it harder to skip paying sales tax on online purchases.
Some people had said the reporting requirement was burdensome because they didn't track whether sales tax was collected for online purchases.
The reporting requirement was on the income tax form used for 2011 taxes. The repeal takes effect with 2012 so the line won't be on returns filed next spring.

Yemeni, Liberian Women Win Nobel Peace Prize
October 24, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment

OSLO (Reuters) – Three women who have campaigned for rights and an end to violence in Liberia and Yemen, including Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.
Another Liberian, Leymah Gbowee, who mobilized fellow women against the country's civil war including by organizing a "sex strike," and Tawakkul Karman, who has worked in Yemen, will share the prize worth $1.5 million with Johnson-Sirleaf, who faces re-election for a second term as president on Tuesday.
"We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society," Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland told reporters.
"The Nobel Peace Prize for 2011 is to be divided in three equal parts between Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work."
Johnson-Sirleaf, 72, is Africa's first freely elected female president. Gbowee mobilized and organized women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the war in Liberia, and to ensure women's participation in elections.
The Committee added: "In the most trying circumstances, both before and during the Arab Spring, Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle for women's rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen."
"It is the Norwegian Nobel Committee's hope that the prize to Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman will help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realize the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent."
Speaking by telephone from Monrovia, Johnson-Sirleaf's son James told Reuters: "I am over-excited. This is very big news and we have to celebrate."

Concerns raised about mosque location
SHEBOYGAN,WI–Nearly 60 people showed up at the Wilson Town Hall Monday night for a 15-minute procedural exercise by the town Plan Commission, which voted unanimously to grant an extension of time for a Manitowoc doctor to obtain a conditional use permit to convert a former retail store into a mosque, an action that most of the people there opposed, the Sheboygan Press reported.
The vote to give Mansoor Mirza until May 10 to inspect and bring up to code the septic system at 9110 Sauk Trail Road was "not out of the ordinary," Plan Commission Chairman Doug Fuller told commission members, who voted 7-0 to grant the extension without discussion.
Mirza is proposing converting the 5,000-square-foot former Tom's of Wisconsin building into the county's first mosque. Mirza bought the property as an investment and proposes renting it to the newly formed Islamic Society of Sheboygan County, of which he is one of the organizers.A public hearing last month attracted a similar-sized group of people, almost all of who were opposed to allowing the mosque because they feared "it would attract potential terrorists."
MSA lounge vandalized at Brandeis
The Muslim Student Association suite at Brandeis University was vandalized on March 5, according to an e-mail to members of the association from Neda Eid '11, a member of the MSA executive board.
According to the e-mail, an individual or individuals attempted to open a painted-over door in Imam Talal Eid's office, and many of the imam's "desk materials were touched and unplugged. The lamps in the suite (most of them in the prayer room) were all turned upside down and unplugged." Neda Eid added in a later e-mail to the Justice that "most of the permanent damage was to the wall in Imam Eid's office." Imam Eid told the Justice that his phone and computer were disconnected and that a valuable Quran was missing from his desk. He also said it was evident that the vandals had not removed their shoes, a rule members of the MSA had instituted after the recent renovations, before walking "where we pray and all over the place."
Imam Eid said that he "could not believe it" when he discovered the vandalism. The MSA suite had recently undergone renovation, and Imam Eid said that he first called the contractor to see whether they were doing work in the suite. When the contractor said that no work was being done, Imam Eid contacted the Brandeis Police Department.
Director of Public Safety Ed Callahan said that an investigation into the details and the motives behind the vandalism is currently ongoing.

Orlando angler wins EverStart Batteries Series tournament, collects $10,000 and new Ranger boat
CLEWISTON, Fla. — Robert Beatty of Orlando, Fla., survived four days of intense competition on Lake Okeechobee to win $10,000 and an Evinrude powered Ranger bass boat Saturday in the first EverStart Batteries Series tournament of 2000.
Beatty, a 52-year-old engineer, caught 12 pounds, 4 ounces of bass during the tournament's fog-delayed final round to claim victory over nine other finalists in the pro division. He caught his five keepers out of pockets in the eelgrass on the lake's north shore using a spinnerbait and a paddle-tail worm. Beatty was the only angler to catch a limit.
"I was a little apprehensive because of the fog delay," says Beatty, who has been fishing tournaments since 1989. "But to go out on Lake Okeechobee in the middle of the day on a Saturday and catch three of four fish in two hours was great. You can win most tournaments like that."
Taking second and third in the pro division were Roger Crafton of Boca Grande, Fla., with 9 pounds, 2 ounces and Jay Stuart of West Palm Beach, Fla., with an 8-pound, 2-ounce catch. Crafton earned $10,000 for his effort while Stuart received $9,000.
Kindle Nelms of Lake City, Fla., claimed first place in the co-angler division and collected $6,000 for two bass weighing 3 pounds, 14 ounces. Finishing second and third in the co-angler division were Steve Montelaro of Palm Harbor, Fla., and Robert Bennett of Doyle, Tenn., with 3 pounds, 1 ounce and 2 pounds, 10 ounces respectively. Montelaro received $3,500 and Bennett earned $3,000.
"I was fortunate to win," Nelms says. "There are a lot of quality anglers in the (co-angler) division, and my first day out, I didn't catch a fish. This is my third year fishing the EverStart and the first time I've made the top ten."
The tournament began Wednesday morning with 175 professional anglers and 175 co-anglers taking off from Roland Martin's Marina in Clewiston to claim a piece of the event's $164,000 purse. After two elimination rounds, however, only 10 anglers remained in each division for the final round.
Now in its third year, the EverStart Series is comprised of two divisions, Eastern and Central, with four multi-day events per division. The top 75 pros and co-anglers from each division will advance to the year-end EverStart Invitational Challenge at Cypress Gardens, Fla., which features a purse of $360,000.
Over the course of the season, the EverStart Series awards anglers up to $1.7 million in cash and prizes. It also provides a pathway to the prestigious Wal-Mart FLW Tour, the richest tournament series in history. Winning anglers in the pro and co-angler divisions of each EverStart tournament, as well as the overall top 10 anglers, based on a system of points and pounds, receive automatic berths in the 2001 FLW Tour.

Here is a set of Descent House Rules and custom heroes we've been playing with:
Posted 12 July 2012 - 11:05 AM
Here is a set of Descent House Rules and custom heroes we've been playing with:
Posted 12 July 2012 - 12:43 PM
1. Death and Resurrection
Slain heroes do not return to town. Their corpses stay in the square
where they fell, with all of their equipment and gold. Another adjacent
hero may spend 2 movement and use two Healing Potions to return a
slain hero to life with 1 health and 0 fatigue, or spend 1 movement and
use a Crystal of Tival or Amulet of Healing to return a slain hero to life
with full health and fatigue. Alternatively, an adjacent hero may simply
spend 2 movement to loot the corpse for any equipment or gold the dead
hero was using or carrying.
A dead hero's player may choose to abandon the hero to take a new
hero from town into the dungeon, following all the normal rules for
starting a new hero. Once a player has abandoned a hero, that hero may
no longer be resurrected.
2. Multiple Targets
Certain abilities, such as Sweep, Breath, or Blast, cause a single attack
to target multiple creatures. When performing such an attack, make a
single die roll for all dice except for the red, blue or white die. This die is
rolled separately, along with any appropriate Stealth dice, for each
creature affected by the attack. If any of these dice come up as a miss,
only that creature is missed by the attack.
3. Gold, Treasure and Items
When treasure is awarded, Treasure and gold are only given to the
hero who opens the chest. If there is not room in that hero's inventory,
the remaining Treasure cards remain inside the chest, and may be picked
up by anyone adjacent to the chest marker. Treasure cards may not be
exchanged for gold immediately, but must be sold in town. Feat cards and
other cards are awarded immediately, and do not need to be picked up.
Likewise, when gold is awarded for killing a monster, the gold drops
in a square the monster occupied. When a hero touches any money
marker, that hero gets all gold awarded by that marker. Consequently,
heroes may now share gold, following the same rules as giving any other
equipment to adjacent heroes.
Dropping items and picking up tokens now costs 1 movement. When
a hero drops an item, that item is not destroyed; instead, place a token in
the square the item was dropped in to represent its location.
4. Glyphs
A hero may not use a glyph to travel to or from town so long as any
monsters have line of sight to that glyph. The heroes must first clear out
the area around the glyph before they may use it. This rule does not
apply to the first glyph in the dungeon.
Whenever a glyph is activated, the overlord places one treasure of the
appropriate level (Bronze, Silver or Gold) face-up; this treasure may
subsequently be purchased in town for the standard amount. These are
the only treasures that may be purchased in-town; heroes may not pay
gold to draw random cards from any of the Treasure decks.
5. Trait dice
Each character pays a different cost for training new Trait dice,
depending on their starting Skills. When purchasing new Trait dice, the
hero must begin and end their turn in town, and may make no other
purchases. The price for one new or replaced Trait die is noted on each
hero's sheet.
6. Skill Cards
Skill Cards are no longer drawn randomly. Instead, each character
starts with the Skill cards specified, and may pay the price listed to
choose and draw a new Skill card while training in town. A character may
never possess more than one of any given Skill card.
Each character pays a different cost for training new Skills, depending
on their starting Skills. When purchasing new Skill Cards, the hero must
begin and end their turn in town, and may make no other purchases. The
price for new Skill cards is noted on each hero's sheet.
7. Feat Cards
Whenever a hero earns the ability to draw a Feat card, they may draw
a number of cards equal to the number of Skill cards they possess in the
Skill chosen, keep one of the Feat cards drawn, and shuffle the rest back
into the appropriate Feat deck.

31 January 2013
By Jane Greathouse, Interim Dean of Liberal Arts and Professional Careers
Welcome to Spring 2013!!! I know it is going to be a great semester!
Congratulations to….
- Kirstin Cronn-Mills, Cassandra Labairon, Jodi Olson, and Lucinda Wells, all of whom have been approved to for sabbaticals next year.
- Tony Bryson, who is still in the throes of his sabbatical in England.
- Shayne Narjes, who will be defending his dissertation on April 1. No fooling.
- Mark Friedman, who is officially ABD.
- Kurt Dershem, who has been selected to travel to Turkey in March as part of an instructor training program.
- Peter Wruck, Arlene Eliason, Karen Snay, Ben Braswell, and Wes Taylor who completed their first semester as full-time unlimited faculty.
- Lori Hood for accepting the position of College Readiness English instructor
Initiatives in the Works
- Arlene Eliason and Linda Van Slyke are working with the HVAC, Computer Integrated Machining, and Pharmacy Tech programs to integrate more developmental math into the program curriculum. Karen Snay intends to work with a technical program to integrate developmental writing into the curriculum. There is a major push at the national level to do more of this and I am excited that we were able to make something happen this term.
- The College Readiness faculty has been meeting to explore new ways of delivering CR curriculum. We will be working with David Miller in a few weeks to look at the Accuplacer exam and diagnostic and MyFoundations lab to see how we might deliver some computer-based instruction. This work could also open up some opportunities for summer bridge programs.
- Pam Becker and Mary Milbert will be working to make some improvements to our EAP courses.
- The AA faculty has created teams to work on several different program initiatives in response to assessment data. Word on the street is that a writing conference for faculty and students is in the works!
Course and Program Development
- Child Development, Marketing Management, and Business Management plan to reduce their AAS programs to 60 credits in response to the 60/120 legislation. Accounting and Graphic Communications will be seeking a waiver by December 2013.
- The Multimedia program is awaiting approval by MnSCU. The Curriculum Committee has approved the program and the articulation agreement has been signed with Bethany Lutheran College.
- The Accounting articulation with Concordia College has been officially approved by MnSCU! Concordia began offering a BA in Accounting on our campus this term. I believe 16 students enrolled in this program. Great work Accounting faculty!
- Becky Davis will be taking SCC students to South Africa in May. Becky is partnering with Scott Fee and the International Studies Office at MSU, Mankato to make this an affordable option for students. It is going to be an amazing experience for our students.
- Kurt Dershem and Shawn Schroeder are teaming up to bring students to the Galapagos Islands this semester.
I am very proud of the work the LAPC faculty are doing (as well as all faculty). There is a lot of energy and enthusiasm to make things happen! Let's keep it up!
And THANK YOU to Tim Miller for keeping our office area looking so great.
Have a wonderful semester everyone!

OpenHelix Site Documentation
The goal of the OpenHelix (learn more About OpenHelix) is to enable biology researchers and students to find and use bioinformatics resources effectively and efficiently; to access training materials for use in classes and workshops; and to refresh one's understanding of useful tools. Movies, animated slides with scripts, handouts and exercises are all available to enhance understanding of bioinformatics software resources. The emphasis is on end-user training for bench biomedical researchers at this time. OpenHelix™ tutorial suites are used in various ways, including: ★Researchers and students use the tutorial suites to learn how to use new or unfamiliar genomics resources they need as their work progresses, or review how to use these resources at any time. ★Faculty and Staff use the tutorial suites to keep abreast of new resources and technology, using the resource as an excellent staff training and career development tool. ★Faculty uses the tutorial suites to save significant time in creating classroom content and to augment in class learning.

It would require some PGP signing of the ebuilds or it will enable, for example, an easy "DNS spoof"-like attack on Gentoo based servers. Also I think not only errors should be sent to admin, but every update activity that is automated. And, btw, logs for _every_ build stored in /var/tmp would be nice. I remember Daniel said that one can always use "script". It's true if you know you'll need the log in advance. It can not help if build failed and you want to see what did it do at ./configure step. And running script before every ebuild is a task I'd like to leave to portage to do(well, in fact, "script" will not be the best sollution in this case, I guess some redirections when running ebuild.sh etc. will do). > > And yes, it the greatest Linux ever used!
