For more information on this series and a tool to invite your friends, see Pastor Jonathan's blog.
Small Group Questions
1. If you come from a Christian background, what meaning or significance did baptism have in that tradition? How is what Jonathan taught this weekend similar or different from that background?
2. If you have been baptized, tell the group about your experience. What led to the decision? How did it happen? How was it significant for you?
3. Read Matthew 3:11-17. Why was Jesus baptized? What do we learn from
His example?
4. Read Romans 6:3-4. Some say our baptism is our reenactment of Good Friday and Easter. How is this so?

Bearcats Participate in Sports Yoga at Cone Field House
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University student-athletes representing several sports participated in the second sports yoga session of the 2010-11 academic year on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at Cone Field House. About 55 student-athletes attended the event.
The first sports yoga session was held in September, 2010, and involved members of the Willamette football team. The second session was open to student-athletes on all of Willamette's intercollegiate teams. Sports yoga provides an excellent addition to such traditional training regimens as weightlifting and cardio workouts.
Yoga instructor Susan Benner from The Fitness Center at Wellspring in Woodburn, Ore., led the one-hour course designed specifically for collegiate athletes and coaches. Athletes were led through a variety of stretches, positions and resting techniques.
The sports yoga sessions evolved from the relationship Willamette has with its team physicians, Dr. David Thorsett and Dr. Dan Schweigert. Both physicians work with the Silverton Hospital Network's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Program, which sponsored the sessions.
Sports yoga incorporates yoga poses designed to cultivate total body integration with a focus on core activation, balance, stability and flexibility. It balances the body through a variety of movements done in different planes and angles to challenge the body in different ways. These factors increase efficiency of movement and help prevent injury.
Yoga's basic mindfulness and meditation skills help athletes develop intrinsic body awareness. Awareness of the choices in each moment, both mental and physical, brings focus to the athlete's action on the field, as well. A series of movements and mental tools can be incorporated into traditional training sessions all season.

"I don't buy the shock and disgust part — at some point you hit the sync button, after all"
Precisely. And the only reason you see FB friend's numbers in that contacts section is those people have elected, via their security settings - to let people see their contact info.
Best practice is don't say yes when any app beyond your Mail client offers to sync to your phone's contacts, and use FB's security settings to make public, or available to friends only stuff you want seen.
Daily Tip: How to remove your non-Facebook using friends' stolen contact information from Facebook
If you've synced your contacts with Facebook for iPhone, it's possible that all the information from your iPhone Contacts.app are now copied over to Facebook's servers. While that means you get Facebook profile pics when your Facebook using friends call you, it also may mean Facebook now has the personal numbers of your non-Facebook using friends, and that may not be okay with them, or with you. Luckily there's a way to take back what's yours (and theirs). Instructions after the break.
- Visit facebook.com from a PC and log in
- in the top-right corner of the screen, click on Account and then Edit Friends
- In the menu on the left side of the screen, click on Contacts
- Here, you will see that each and every one of your contacts in Address Book are listed along with their phone numbers… wipe the look of shock and disgust from your face
- On the right side of the screen, click on the "this page" link
- Follow the instructions on this page — you'll have to disable contact-sync in Facebook's mobile app if it's enabled — and click the Remove button
I don't buy the shock and disgust part -- at some point you hit the sync button, after all -- but it is disturbing how quickly and opaquely big online companies can suck in other people's personal info. And if you know any other cases of Facebook, or any social network, holding information you'd rather they not hold, let us know and tell us how to remove it!
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)

Daily Tip: How to remove your non-Facebook using friends' stolen contact information from Facebook
"I don't buy the shock and disgust part — at some point you hit the sync button, after all"
There is a bit more to it, that is what I was thinking when I first heard about it. But both my parents went to check it out on their Facebook page's and found a huge list in it, one problem. They don't own a smartphone of any kind and therefore have not synced their contacts. That being the case, where did that info come from then???
I don't get what the big deal is to be honest. "oh no! Facebook has my phone number! I'll be contacted to update my crops on farmville! ahhhhhh!"
What about the other information people post on facebook? Hell you should be more worried about Google rather then facebook.
I sync my facebook contacts with my address book on my EVO 3D. but then again I only have people who I actully know. (friends, family co workers etc)
Remember you have a CHOICE to put the phone numbers on your profile. If your friend posted it on their profile it was by choice and hence nothing you can do about it.
Well on android it syncs the facebook contacts to my address book on my phone. thats where most of my contacts come from. (and again I have 61 people on my list. All family, friends and formet and current co workers. I do not add ramdom people. To me that died along with myspace years ago) I also sync them with gmail. I have no contacts stored on the phone. Hell even when I add a new contact I store it on Gmail and not the phone. Its all in the "cloud" . I like it that way. So if my friend updates his number on facebook its updated on my phone automatically.
i'm not sure how it works the other way around.
As for the suggestions they are mostly based on your home town(where you grew up or where you are from) and current location (town you live in now) schools and work place. (current and past) Maybe a few other factors as well
good one
The bottom line to this whole issue is that the Facebook app (for iPhone at least) scans your contacts and loads them to their server, regardless of whether or not you ever synced with the app.
I know of two people, besides myself, who never even knew the sync feature existed. However, their contacts (including non-Facebook users) were stored by Facebook in their profiles. Their iPhone app syncing was "OFF" and was never turned "ON"... ever.
With the recent changes to Facebook profiles, ticker feeds, subscribing, etc., FB has changed the screen layouts making the instructions included in this post obsolete. The contact info is likely still stored on FB if you didn't purge it when this story first publicized the issue, but the method to get to the setting to purge the info does not match the steps above. And I don't know what the new steps are. Anybody?
So..... This means that all the mosques in europe should be destroyed too? What kind of evil mufti is this??
Heya i'm for the first time here. I came across this board and I to find It really helpful & it helped me out much. I'm hoping to offer one thing back and help others such as you helped me.

Wincing whilst walking down the high street
by helenwhattt
Now, I'm not one to ordinarily grumble for prolonged periods about the the abysmal state of the advertising market, which less the "fashion, beauty, health and self-loathing-by-direct-debit" market, one which, as I'm sure we can all agree, more resembles smeared bullshit with a daub of the blood of the innocents than anything even near the Unspeakable Truth. At the end of the day, I do like to, however naively optimistic it might seem- judging from the state of some of the sub-human, pitiful shambling cretins that could barely pass for people even under the most lenient of criteria I encounter on a day to day basis (the people who designed this advert, for example)- imagine that most people aren't so passively gormless and impressionable that such mediums should have any effect on them, other than providing a vague chuckle on the way to work, for example.
Sadly, I know that it is not the case. And I do know how damaging certain messages can be to the general populace, especially if they're drip-fed so slyly and subtly it's almost as if it's not happening, it makes a shiver run down my spine just thinking about it. I don't want to give credence to any patronising hypodermic needle theory here, but one must question, if the advertisers didn't think they would have an effect, then why create such an advert in the first place? The sorry truth is, that whilst I'm remain living in hope that the vast majority of people exposed to this piece of advertising will just snort scornfully and carry on with their business, there are a number who won't. And here is when the effect is undeniably, dangerously negative.
So bear with me, whilst I step out of character for a moment, and draw your attention to this charming piece of art I encountered in my local town yesterday:
I don't know about you, but this, in my eyes, overstepped a line. And I promise you, on most occasions with adverts I just shake my head despairingly, bite my tongue and carry on, defeated by the sheer stupidity of the world. But this made me stop. And take a photo, even. And that takes a particular amount of anger.
I won't fall down the oft-wrongly-trod path of "OMGZ diS is BLATANT 3ncurigingz of anorexier!!1!!11″. Whatever your opinion on the issue may be, I belong to the school of thought where media images are thought to not play as large as role in the development of eating disorders as (ironically) the media would like you to believe. There is a lot more to the terrible, delicate nature of AN, BN, and the host of other life-destroying psychological illnesses, than merely seeing a photograph of a slim woman, or even three peppers of decreasing size.
And of course, ladies, the smaller, the "hotter"!
When approaching others about this particular advert, I got a lot of "but, um, a chilli pepper is hotter…" Yes, thank you for enlightening me in regards to that, but that's not what I'm on about. What I want to address is the obvious, undisguised "shaming" (oh, how I loathe that word) of bodies shapes differing from the societal expectation of, apparently (you guessed it) nice and slim. Seriously, I may be spending too much time in the more enlightened regions of the internet, and around the more enlightened of people, but I thought we were somehow, slowly but surely, getting over this ridiculous notion that one body shape is "better" (or "hotter"- whatever that's supposed to mean) than another? But apparently not.
Regardless of whether or not ~this~ sort of advertising contributes to, or is even relevant to the likelihood of someone developing an ED, it's still in my opinion, a very damaging message to send out. People may argue "but it's a gym advert, it's not encouraging anything other than health", and, alright, it's a gym advert, but I still don't really think you're at the crux of the point. Yet again, we have another example of thousands of women (and men; it's quite rare to find such a gender-neutral advert as this, but I will still assume the target market as predominantly women. I can't imagine a lot of the hyper-masculine "lads" of this day and age relishing the thought of being described as "hot", but I may have that wrong.) being belittled and demoralised simply because of the way their body is built. This isn't a matter of health, but of policing. Not to mention making money from the growing tide of self-hatred ever more apparent in today's society; people under the impression that they will not be sucessful, they will not be loved, they will not be beautiful, they will never have even the smallest morsel of self-worth unless they adhere to this strict criteria of what we as a society see as acceptable.
And I don't know about you, but I'm getting fairly fucking sick of it.
Where are our "okay, you could lose 5lbs but it's nothing serious" ads? Our "eat a cake #YOLO" slogans? I'm not condoning excessive over-eating, but I completely abhore this idea that it's somehow "their place" to tell us what to do with our bodies, even more than the ridiculous notion that somehow this mystical, unachievable plane of "health" is the be all and end of all of your life. It just isn't. I'm sorry, but if you view yourself as nothing more than the different types of multi-grain you can force yourself to consume (because let's face it, it tastes like someone has shit out cardboard on the most part) and the amount of sit-ups you can do in a minute, then you need to seriously readdress your life my friend. Get a hobby. Start painting. It may surprise you but There Is More To Life Than That.
Want to be hot for summer? Be healthy (if you want), be happy, be confident in yourself. Because there's only one thing that will come of religiously following such rigidly imposed standards of "health and beauty", and it ain't happiness babe. Far, far from it. It's a bleak, bleak tunnel of whole-grains and worn down knee-joints, and a nauseating holier-than-thou complex that will, I promise you, make people want to punch you repeatedly in your smug, self-righteous, preservative-free throat. And, to be honest, I can't think of anything less hot than that.

True Blood
You Tell Us: Is It Cheating If Jessica Feeds on Other Men?
We all saw the way Jessica was eyeing that hot fangbanger at Fangtasia on the Season 4 premiere. She couldn't take her eyes off of his throbbing jugular vein. After watching hours of animal attack footage all evening, what can you expect from this girl? She's ready to pounce.
The only problem is that Jess already has a hunky bro who's more than willing to drain out his juice for her. So, is it cheating if she tastes another man's fluids? (We're talking blood, here, people!)
Jessica would argue that drinking Hoyt for the rest of her life is equivalent to him only ever downing PBR. Girlfriend needs some variety. But you know how vamps are — they can't chow down without getting turned on.
What do you think, Truebies?

Local artists organize PBR photo shoot in ToledoWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Jay Hathaway, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
A local model and producer are bringing together two staples of American culture — beer and swimsuits — in an effort to spotlight Toledo for a possible national advertising campaign.
Cory Rist recently coordinated and posed for a photo shoot that was sponsored by the brewers of Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) beer. The session took place entirely on location at the Bartley Lofts in Downtown Toledo.
Rist, who also runs her own interior decorating company called Simply Put Life, said the catalyst of the photo shoot was a celebrity birthday party.
"Back in October, one of the owners of PBR contacted me and invited me to an event they were doing at the Playboy mansion for Snoop Dogg's birthday," Rist said. "They also own Colt 45, which is partnered with Snoop. They were basically throwing him a birthday party with PBR. I flew out there for the weekend."
While she was there, she met the PBR owners' girlfriends, one of whom owns Éclairée in New York City. During the meeting, Rist was asked if she would like to do a photo shoot modeling one of Eclairee's swimsuits.
"I mentioned that I had a photo shoot coming up with a local photographer and it wouldn't be a problem. I already had a shoot scheduled for pictures of my son and I. So, then my friend from PBR asked if I would shoot some of their product, as well. He offered to sponsor the shoot, if I was willing to do that," Rist said.
Rist agreed, believing that Toledo is more representative of the Pabst brand than other larger cities. Pabst then sent a variety of items to be used for the photo shoot.
"I actually have a skateboard they sent me. It's so cool. It's a longboard, and it actually has a beer bottle opener on the bottom," Rist said.
Rist then began putting her production skills to work, and sought out local businesses to take part in the shoot.
"I put a team together to help, because I know there's a lot of talent here in Toledo," Rist said.
She asked Natalie Pohorecki if she was interested in doing the makeup. Pohorecki is an award-winning makeup artist who hosts the "Makeup Monday" and "Trendy Toledo" fashion segment on WNWO. She agreed to get involved with the PBR shoot, and explained a bit about how she was able to contribute to the project.
"I was the makeup artist and clothing stylist on location for the day. I did airbrush makeup to give Cori a perfect glow," Pohorecki said. "We kept her makeup modern and classy. I pulled clothes from a few local boutiques, as well as from Cori's own wardrobe, to add to what PBR sent us."
Local photographer David Sprott took charge of shooting the pictures while Omar Khan recorded and produced a video of the process, which can be viewed on Facebook. Additionally, Phillip Kaplan shot behind-the-scenes photos and Ali Gallaro from Salon 180 styled Cori's hair.
Rist said she is unsure how the photos will be used by PBR once they receive them, but is hopeful they will gain a lot of exposure. Rist also noted that PBR tends to have a strong social media presence and suggested that the photos could possibly be used for that, as well.
Following the photo shoot, Rist and the crew decided to hold a contest to help PBR get some local exposure.
"We thought it would be fun for Toledo to see one of their favorite beers being shot in their hometown," Rist said.
The contest is currently being hosted on Facebook ("PBR Toledo Swag — Contest Page"), and challenges locals to post their best pictures of themselves enjoying PBR. The contest will run through Feb. 10, with two winners — one male, one female — to be announced. The winners will receive "swag packs" from PBR. Entrants must be at least 21 years old to be eligible to win.
Rist added that the PBR skateboard will not be up for grabs, and that no actual beer will be given away, "because it's illegal, or something silly like that."

No Nomads ClientJune 13th, 2002 by Alkini
After seeing the E3 coverage of the upcoming Nomads game, I decided to check with CDV (the game's publisher) to see what the status of the Linux client is. Radon Labs (the developers of Nomads) have the game running in Linux, but, until now, CDV hasn't told us anything about making a Linux client available. So, after emailing CDV I got this brief email response: I'm sorry but we haven't any plans to release a linux version of Project Nomads. Ugh.

Cheeky Pea never ceases to have creative, and let's face it, huge releases for Collabor88. One thing I love about the Chestnut Winter Camp is the fact that it can be used all year long. There's a ton of interactive stuff, like the igloo and the logs with lots of 'fun' animations!
While the set comes with lots of wintery things (one of my favourites being the rideable sleds), I think the highlight of the set are the sleeping bags. Why, you ask?
There's scripting inside that, when you sit inside the bag, causes the mesh to change and look like it's covering you, like a real sleeping bag. Isla said this was an experiment to see if it could be done since she's had requests to do so, and now that she's figured it out, I'd expect lots more stuff like this in the future!

Chair Entertainment Group has something good to make your Valentine's Day even more special. Their popular iOS game Infinity Blade is now available for free. This is a limited time offer, so get it while you still can.
If you're an avid iOS user/gamer, you must have surely heard of this game. Apple talks about this game at almost all their product announcements. It's the game that brought console like gaming to the iPad and iPhone. Infinity Blade for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad was also the first mobile game to use the Unreal 3 Engine. This brought awesome graphics and game-play to iOS devices.
Infinity Blade is one of those games that you need to play, to know what gaming on an iPad or iPhone is all about. Apple has made Infinity Blade the App of the Week, so it'll surely be free for most of that period. Chair Entertainment and Epic Games released this game in 2010 and went on to release a sequel in 2012, both of which are immensely popular. A third installment was supposed to be released this year, but things didn't work out and it had to be put on hold.
Never played Infinity Blade? This is the best time to try it out. Infinity Blade is currently available in the App Store for free. It must be awesome if it won the Game of the Year in 2011. So go try it out, don't let this limited offer slip away. It's best played on an iPad 2 or higher. Unfortunately, the game isn't optimized for the iPhone 5 resolution.

Now, one of these deeply intellectual books is After the Cataclysm, which seemed to expose the lie that Pol Pot's communist Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia was responsible for the deaths of millions of people.
Except that it wasn't a lie.
When all was said and done — which was just about the time the book was published, 1979 — the Khmer Rouge had, both directly and through policy, exterminated a quarter of their nation's population. They targeted the bourgeoisie and educated classes, who were often identified by signs of Western influence, such as wearing eyeglasses (yes, really). All this was scoffed at by Chomsky, who, being a great "intellectual," would have been the first in Pol Pot's crosshairs. But he didn't have to worry about that — he was safely ensconced in his MIT ivory tower in Cambridge at the time.
Now, when pondering the myth that Chomsky perpetrated, some may wonder if he is a liar. But I don't say he stepped over the corpses and then defended the executioners; I don't say he was a malevolent genius, as this gives him both too little and too much credit. I say the last thing a man swelled with intellectual pride wants to hear: He was a useful idiot. He was willing to rationalize away reality until it grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and stuck his face in the bones of the killing fields, motivated as he was by a desire to defend a creed for which he had a sick, twisted affinity. He never had the sense to realize that godless, relativistic people — the Khmer Rouge embraced the belief of intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre that without God, all things are possible — would find killing millions entirely possible. He was never intellectual enough to understand that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and to judge the Khmer under the light of history — that of their Soviet and Red Chinese philosophical forebears.
But Chomsky is not alone. The left has always been the excitement-craving woman who chooses bad boys, gets burned, and then continues seeking them out — all the while dismissing the nice guys as too square. For instance, New York Times Moscow bureau chief Walter Duranty carried water for the nascent Soviet Union, writing lines such as "Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda," while the communists were starving millions of peasants to death. Providing some more examples in his review of the book The Forsaken, Richard Pipes writes:
[There is] the incredible naïveté of Franklin Roosevelt, who lacked even elementary knowledge of the Communist regime: He is quoted as asking, "How could Stalin afford to buy all these factories?" There are vignettes of the no less naïve vice president, Henry Wallace, who visited the concentration camp at Magadan and found nothing amiss, as well as of the despicable American ambassador to Moscow, the multimillionaire Joseph Davies, who liked everything in the Soviet Union and even took Stalin's show trials at face value.
And the greater the "intellectual," the greater the rationalization. British playwright George Bernard Shaw visited the Soviet Union in 1931, reported that the gulag was a kind of luxury vacation spa, and upon departing Russia said "Today I leave this land of hope and return to our Western countries of despair." Two years later, he labeled reportage of Stalin's Terror Famine as a "lie" and a "slander" and said in a lecture before the Fabian Society in London, "Hitler is a very remarkable man, a very able man."
It was because of the fictional narrative painted by such intellectuals that thousands of depression-era Americans — the useful idiots' useful idiots, I guess you could say — immigrated to the Soviet Union seeking a better life.
What they got was a worse death.
After the rude awakening of living Soviet reality, Stalin couldn't let them remain among the Russian population and foment discontent or return to the U.S. and reveal Russia's dark underbelly, so he sent them to the luxury-vacation-spa gulags. Few emerged alive. It's hard to say if this bothered Shaw, however, as the American émigrés were working-class men. You see, Shaw was also a proponent of eugenics and once wrote, "[I]f we desire a certain type of civilization and culture we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit into it." As to who these were, note that Shaw ultimately took issue with how Hitler was killing people — because Hitler was killing the wrong people. He shouldn't exterminate human beings based on race and ethnicity, said Shaw, but based on class.
Returning to Chomsky, he is every bit the intellectual Shaw was. Yet, if he were not merely an intellectual but that far rarer person, a wise man, there are some things he would understand.
He is right to draw parallels between today's America and Weimar Germany.
The problem is that he has little idea what they are.
It's sloppy to lump Nazis and Tea Partiers together under the label "right-wing." And it isn't just that Nazi stands for "National Socialist Workers Party," a point leftists consider profoundly un-intellectual; it's also that those who actually fought the Nazis — figures such as Pope Pius XII — understood them to be "left-wing" extremists. But, then, when the hot war ended and the cold one for the history books began, the Nazis somehow metamorphosed into right-wingers.
Yet even this misses the point. The political terms "right" and "left" originated with the French Revolution, with rightists seeking to preserve the monarchy and leftists to overthrow it. The terms no longer are thus defined, of course, but what do they denote? Their meanings change from time to time and place to place, and some definitions are truly nonsensical. For instance, while we hear that rightists are characterized by nationalism, the communist Soviets, Chinese and North Koreans are/were case studies in nationalism.
But sloppy definitions benefit those who are damned by accurate ones. As for accuracy, the Nazis actually were anti-Christian neo-pagans. They aimed to destroy the faith and in this endeavor would co-opt it, claiming that their version of Christianity was the correct one. And Hitler favored not just paganism but also Islam over Christianity, and his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, tried to discredit the Catholic Church in 1937 by blowing sexual abuse (which occurs in all institutions) among clerics out of proportion.
Seem familiar? Does it sound more like today's "right" or today's "left"?
Ask an intellectual and you'll get one answer. Ask a wise man and you'll get another.

Whether thickness is indicative of weight or not, all I know is that my UFIP top is 826 grams, the A Thin Crash I put on as a top is 820 grams, and when eyeballed, they appear to be the same thickness, or close enough that you can't see the difference. The Paragon top appears to be twice as thick.
You might have a 'dog' set of PARAGONS. If you can try another pair, they may sound different. I've played more than a few HHX EVO hats and they were all different in sound and feel, enough so that I could tell. Not as much consistency as you might expect.

Why haven't consumers revolted against overdraft fees?
May 14, 2012
If last year was any indication, checking account customers won't stand for things like debit card fees or monthly service charges. Witness national protests such as Occupy Wall Street and Bank Transfer Day, which prompted thousands of customers to flee large banks in favor of credit unions and online banks.
But with so many consumers in a hyper-vigilant state over some checking account fees, why are consumers still willfully paying billions in overdraft charges every year?
Overdraft revenue still considerable
Two years ago new federal rules took aim at exorbitant bank overdraft charges, which at many banks were inching toward $35 -- even when triggered by a small purchase like a cup of coffee. According to those regulations, banks, who were receiving more than $37 billion a year in revenue on overdraft charges, had to ask customers to opt-in to overdraft protection rather than enrolling them automatically.
You'd think those wary consumers would choose the money-saving route, right?
Wrong. According to a study by Moebs, an independent financial research firm, banks and credit unions earned $31.6 billion in overdraft fee revenue in 2011, just 4.5 percent less than the year before. What's more, Moebs reported that 77 percent of all bank customers are still using conventional overdraft protection.
The number of overdrafts, which peaked at 9.8 per account in 2008-2009, have fallen since the regulations began, but less than some analysts expected. The average annual number of overdraft charges per account was 7.4 in 2011. With an average overdraft charge of $29, that comes out to more than $200 a year per account.
Getting control of overdraft costs
If you find yourself still struggling with checking account overdraft charges, don't despair. Here are five ways to get a handle on this unnecessary drain on your checking account:
- Find out from your bank if you currently have overdraft protection. If you do, consider opting out. You'll have to pay closer attention to your balance and you may find your card declined at Starbucks if you miscalculate. But if you have to fork over $3 in quarters, that's better than buying a $38 coffee, isn't it?
- Link your checking account to your savings account or set up an overdraft line of credit. Although these options aren't free -- there's likely to be a service fee or some interest involved -- the costs of these types of checking account protection is often far cheaper than an ordinary overdraft charge.
- Communicate more with your spouse. If you have two people spending on one account, it's easier to spend more than your balance, so make sure your partner knows when you pull down the balance to precarious levels.
- Take advantage of bank safeguards. Sign up for emails or texts that alert you when the balance falls below a certain level.
- Find out how your bank processes charges on your checking account. Some banks may still be processing the big charges first, leaving you to rack up huge overdraft charges for the smaller charges that follow. Check with your bank to make sure you know their policy and consider switching if you don't like it.
Make sure, too, that you find out how much your bank charges for overdrafts. If you feel you need the protection, you'll find the costliest overdraft charges may come from larger banks. The Moebs study found that banks with assets greater than $50 billion charge an average of $33.50 per overdraft, while banks with less than $100 million in assets charged an average of just $25.

Answering this article's question of: "Why haven't consumers revolted against overdraft fees?" Perhaps it is because their federal representatives are recipients of large campaign donations for banks. U S Congresswoman, Carolyn Maloney (D NY) has just introduced a bill to improve disclosure on "overdrafts" (and other important things.) Apparently, currently, banks do not have to express an Annual Percentage Rate on that overdraft loan to a customer. If an APR was required, it would almost certainly be the NOMINAL APR as listed in the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) of 1968 (at Appendix J(b)(1), which uses a SIMPLE-INTEREST (SIAPR) method from a U S Supreme Court case in 1839. That method should be changed to the he mathematically-true, COMPOUND annual percentage rate (CAPR). Using a median of data from various consumer groups, there is a typical fee of $35 for an OVERDRAFT over $5 to be paid within 5 days. On that loan the CAPR is calculated (using Excel mathematical symbols: add +, subcontract -, multiply *, divide /, and compound ^) as (((1+(35/5.01))^(365/5))-1)*100. That equals: 74,156,680,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000%, In legislation, first should be changing the law to use the mathematically-true CAPR.

If anyone still had doubts about Charleston's recovery from the economic downturn, two late May announcements stand as proof positive: The Horizon Foundation confirmed it has selected a master developer to bring two million square feet of apartments, offices and retail space to Charleston's West Side, while the Evening Post Publishing Co. named a developer for the first phase of its effort to overhaul 12 acres of prime midtown property.
Momentum is gathering for these and other projects, massive investments that will change the face of the city and alter its economic identity.
The local business community and the residents they serve need to recognize and react to these changes now, before ground is broken and decisions are made that will resonate for generations.
Over the past five years, Lowcountry Local First has seen tremendous change and growth in Charleston. It's been a pleasure to work at the center of a citywide shift towards local, sustainable choices for all kinds of goods and services.
Yet throughout that time, our efforts were undertaken against the backdrop of a national economic slump. The housing bubble had burst, banks weren't loaning money and consumers were saving what little they had left over after gas, food and utility bills.
Now that's all changing. More than 10,000 homes were sold in Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston counties in 2012, the most since 2007. Unemployment is down, with sharp job increases in the professional and business services sectors. Our hospitality industry has rebounded and it seems like a new restaurant opens every day.
While there are still challenging times ahead for many families, the overall economic picture in Charleston is good and that is something worth celebrating.
It also makes our mission to support local, independent business all the more important.
Whether the economy is good or bad, some things remain the same.
A landmark study from researchers at Civic Economics found that for every $100 spent at a chain store, the local economic impact was $13, whereas when those dollars were spent with a local store the impact was $45.
In study after study, economists have shown that investing locally makes an enormous impact on employment, diversity of offerings, tax dollars for infrastructure improvements and more.
In a down economy, consumers aren't spending at local or national stores and the threat is one of stagnation. As the economy recovers and consumer spending rises, our challenge to support local, sustainable businesses becomes all the more important.
A growing economy means expansion, construction, redevelopment and more (see Horizon and Courier Square, exhibits A and B). Businesses will fill new retail and office spaces and serve incoming residents. But what kind of businesses will they be?
Where will their profits be taxed and saved?
And how will their aims and offerings blend in with the unique character of Charleston?
For now, before contracts are signed and ground is broken on many new development projects, these are still just questions.
So let's work together to make sure the answers are what we truly want for ourselves and for generations to come.
Let's choose local.

Florence And The Machine Helps Close Out Coachella
Posted: April 16, 2012
Grammy Award-winners Florence and the Machine and her stellar band took the Outside Stage at Coachella around 9:45 Sunday night, with a massive crowd ready to sing along with Florence Welch's soaring vocals.
Or at least attempt to match her words.
Wearing a dark blue leotard and a cape to match, Welch was a vision. Descending from behind a screen, Welch launched into "Only If For a Night" from her latest release, Ceremonials.
Welch then gracefully wailed her way through several songs from Ceremonials, with "What the Water Gave Me," "Shake It Off" and their incredible closer "No Light, No Light" taking center stage.
View pictures of Welch and guitarist Robert Ackroyd from Sunday's performance below:

Defense Attorneys Criticize Supreme Court Ruling On Warrantless Searches
Professor Robert Weisberg spoke with The Daily Journal's Hamed Aleaziz about how the SCOTUS ruling on warrantless searches is significant and why it will help police get around certain barriers.
The U.S. Supreme Court's latest ruling on warrantless searches drew sharp rebuke from California criminal defense attorneys and privacy advocates.
The decision "further erodes the privacy we expect in homes," said Scott Sugarman, president of California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, the association made up of criminal defense lawyers, and a partner at Sugarman & Cannon.
Robert Weisberg, co-director of Stanford's Criminal Justice Center, said Tuesday's ruling was significant.
"It will not always be the case that both co-occupants are home. ... It certainly allows the police to get around the barrier that had been set up in the Randolph case."

Discussion ¬
Rand al'Thor (you must be a fan of a different Jordan),It's true that there are fidles where men face discrimination. Education is one (and I'm a certified teacher), as are entry-level positions like waiting tables, retail, cashiering. But, even when taking these fidles into consideration, women are still disproportionately discriminated against. And also note that the fidles where women dominate are almost always fidles of low-status (dominating fidles that are perceived to be crappy isn't exactly a point in favour of a egalitarian society) and even still, men tend to dominate the most prestigious positions within these fidles. There are way more female elementary school teachers than males elementary school teachers. But how many female principals are there?The top tier almost everywhere is male dominated. But your argument doesn't quite follow. Yes, these fidles are clearly highly selective. But, assuming no discrimination and identical abilities for males and females, the sex ratio of the past POTUS should be roughly 50-50. So the current POTUS count (42-0) is a sign of discrimination. In reality, males and females don't have the same abilities so that assumption isn't true but that's because we live in a society that is inherently biased against women, and women aren't given the same opportunities that men are to develop their abilities.Take a look at . There are many countries where women are highly involved in politics, even at the highest levels. In fact, some countries have quota requirements, where parties must field a certain percentage of female candidates. There have also been studies that show that companies that have a higher proportion of female executives are more successful (which makes sense; a diversity of backgrounds is going to help out any company, and when you have a bunch of old white males running things, you don't have that).Al,Universities are not sexist towards men. As I said, having more females at the lowest levels undergrad is not really that impressive when you see how many more males there are at the higher levels. It's true that men are choosing not to attend universities, but this is not necessarily a sign of sexism. Now, the education system as it currently stands might be interpreted as sexist, as I think schooling is somewhat biased against males, but this is more of a symptom of an incoherent and flawed system than sexism.It's also clear that corporate board rooms are sexist. Debating that is like debating climate change.

COLUMBIA CITY — For the last several months, Columbia City has been working to purchase the former Eagles Lodge in downtown Columbia City.
Columbia City's Common Council agreed last week to move some additional money from the city's TIF (Tax Increment Finance) account into the TIF budget for the purchase of the building.
Initially, the city had approximately $88,000 allocated for the purchase, but needed to move an additional $62,000 into the TIF budget.
"We just want to make sure the appropriate dollars are used for the purchase of that property," Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel said.
The city is using $150,000 from the TIF budget, and the Columbia City Redevelopment Commission (RDC) will use $13,000 from its general fund to buy the property.
Daniel said since TIF money doesn't have to be advertised and reviewed by the state, the council was able to approve the motion at the meeting, and money was put in place to make the purchase.

PHOENIX – The New Mexico State softball team lost a tough matchup to the Grand Canyon Antelopes, 3-2, Saturday afternoon during the series finale at Stapleton-Pierson Field.
The Aggies lost the final two games of the series by a combined three runs to fall to 26-19 on the season and 8-4 in Western Athletic Conference play. The 'Lopes are 25-17 overall and now lead the WAC by two games over NM State after improving to 10-2 in conference play.
NM State finished the game with five hits while the Aggie pitching tandem of Makayla McAdams and Celisha Walker only allowed four hits. McAdams started the game in the circle for NM State, only allowing two hits in 4.1 innings pitched. Walker also allowed two hits, but was saddled with the loss to fall to 7-6 on the season.
Junior Lacey Rother and first baseman Kelsey Dodd each had a couple of hits on the day, to combine for four of the Aggies' five hits. One of Dodd's hit was a two-run shot over the right-field wall.
The 'Lopes got on the board first with a home run of their own, a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning by shortstop Kelsey Barak.
NM State bounced right back in second inning after Dodd belted her fourth homer of the season. The home run also brought in Rother, who had the first hit for NM State, a single to centerfield. The Aggies led 2-1 after two innings.
NM State had a chance to break the game wide open in the fourth after loading the bases with two outs, but pinch hitter Malena Padilla struck out swinging to end the Aggie threat.
NM State would maintain its one-run lead into the bottom half of the fifth. Thanks in large part by great defense by second baseman Brennalyn Nakamura who had a great defensive play in the third and another in the fourth inning.
Unfortunately for the Aggies, GCU would cross two unearned runs in the fifth inning after a couple of NM State infield errors. The 'Lopes took a 3-2 lead heading into the final two innings, a lead they would not relinquish.
The Aggies marked two singles in the top of the sixth but again could not put a rally together. Rother hit a little popup to the pitcher which turned into a double play and once again negated NM State the opportunity to add to its run total.
An infield pop fly by pinch hitter Alyssa Ruiz in the seventh marked the final out of the matchup and gave GCU a three-game sweep of the Aggies.
NM State will now head back home before returning to Arizona for a doubleheader in Tucson, Ariz., versus the University of Arizona Wildcats on Wednesday, April 23.

Quinn turns focus to Daley
Republicans have a somewhat crowded field of four candidates hoping to be Illinois' next Governor. For now, though, Democrats have only two: former U.S. Commerce Secretary Bill Daley and Governor Pat Quinn.
Quinn had been reticent to speak about his chances in 2014, denying suggestions that his recent, highly-publicized actions to try and tighten gun control and to erase legislators' salaries were designed to help his campaign.
Earlier in the week, before the Attorney General had made her intentions known, when asked about her, Quinn said: "I'm not interested in politics." But now that Madigan's not running against him, here's Quinn:
"We ran in 2010 in a pretty tough environment, won the primary and that's what's going to happen next year too."
Calling himself a "people person" who won't be the "champion of millionaires," he took a class warfare style jab at Daley, saying "Well, I think I'm quite a bit different than Bill Daley. He has a better tailor than I do."
Quinn may dress the part, but Daley says the governor can't get anything done.

UNM VS. UTAH VALLEY STATE, THE SERIES: The Lobos have never taken on Utah Valley State.

Overall, first-time visitors to the park have gone 8-9 in their first game. In 2004, opponents were 6-6 in their first game. In 2005, first-time visitors to Isotopes Park were 2-3 in their initial game.
A LOOK AT THE LOBOS: The Lobos, 5-4 overall, haven't played their best baseball at Isotopes Park this season. They are 0-2 at home but are 5-2 on the road. The team holds a .262 batting average and a 5.16 ERA.
Individually, freshmen Max Willett and Zach Arnett have the best batting averages (.500 and .429, respectively) but have seen action in less than half of UNM's games.

SCOUTING THE WOLVERINES: Utah Valley State, 2-5 overall, is coming off a weekend series with Fresno State, where the Bulldogs took two of three. Led by 16th-year head coach Steve Gardner, the Wolverines are hitting .314 with a 5.53 ERA.

Brett Guerrero and Dan Christensen have been the top relievers. Neither have allowed an earned run to score.
KEEP THE BALL INSIDE THE PARK: Juniors Chris Carlson and Daniel Stovall and sophomore Jordan Pacheco have have combined to hit seven home runs in three games this year. Unfortunately for the Lobos, they are 0-3 in games when they hit a home run.
REACHING FOR THE RECORDBOOKS: Junior Daniel Stovall is almost into the UNM career record books. Stovall, with 23 home runs, trails fifth place by 11. Jeff Grady is currently in fifth with 34 career homers. Stovall hit nine bombs in 2005 and 12 in 2004. He already has two this season.
Senior Darren Coltrinari and junior Danny Ray Herrera are vying for the same record. Coltrinari has 32 games started in his career while Herrera has 30. The fifth most is 40, held by Barry Kiess (1994-97) and James Vermilyea (2001-03). The record is 47.
Both Coltrinari and Herrera are also approaching the top-5 in wins and losses. Herrera, with 14 wins, and Coltrinari, with 11 wins, are chasing Ron Adair (1971-74) and Kurt Hildebrandt (1991-93, `95), who are tied for fifth with 20. Coltrinari and Herrera both have 12 career losses, needing five to place in a four-way tie for second with 17. The record is 21, set by Barry Kiess (1994-97).
RETURNING HOME: It didn't take sophomore catcher Drew McDonald long to make the trip back home. McDonald, a Tucson native, transfered to New Mexico this semester after spending the first year and a half of his collegiate career at Arizona. McDonald saw limited time at Arizona last season and didn't want to split time this year, making the move to Albuquerque, where he has started five of the first eight games.
McDonald didn't disappoint any of his friends or family either, going 3-for-8 (.375) with three RBI to lead the Lobos to two wins. The first win, 6-5 on Friday, ended a 23-game losing streak to Arizona.
HOME SWEET HOME: Albuquerque native, freshman Zach Arnett put on a show is his home debut as a Lobo last Tuesday. Arnett, who was hitless in his first collegiate appearance on the road, went 3-for-5 with two RBI against Texas Tech. Starting Sunday's game at Arizona, Arnett against went 3-for-5 with a RBI. For the week, he was 6-for-10 (.600) with a triple and three RBI. He also had a perfect fielding percentage with 14 putouts, three assists, turned one double play and caught one runner stealing.
MILLER MAKING HIS MOVE: Junior transfer Damon Miller has proven he can be counted on. Last week he made a team-high three appearances, getting one save. In 4.2 innings of work, he allowed just three hits and three walks while holding his opponents scoreless and striking out four. His perfect ERA in week two dropped his overall ERA to 1.35, the second best on the team. Miller leads the team in appearances (4) and is second in strikeouts (6).
CLOSING CALL: Freshman Chace Lankford has answered the call to the bullpen, taking the ball to close out three of New Mexico's first five games. Lankford is 1-1 with a save. He has thrown 4.1 innings, allowing just four hits, one run and one walk while striking out three. Lankford has the team's fourth lowest ERA at 2.08.
PRIZED PITCHING: The Lobo pitching staff got off to an incredible start, allowing just 10 runs in their first four games. Last season, they allowed 10 or less over a four-game stretch just once. Their opponents averaged 9.25 runs per game against UNM last season.
To start a season, the last time New Mexico allowed 10 runs its first four games was in 1969. Since then, the Lobos have allowed less that 20 runs in their first four games only seven times with five of them coming in the 1970s. The most recent season which saw the Lobos give up less than 20 in the first four games was 2000, which allowed 11.
FORESEEING THE FUTURE?: Even though it is extremely early in the season, the Lobos' five wins has them in a two-way tie for first in the Mountain West Conference. They also started the season 3-1 for the first times since 2000. That season the Lobos went on to a 35-21 record, including a 22-8 mark in the Mountain West, earning the first MWC Championship.

Obama's overall approval rating in the latest CBS poll is down 3 points from the previous month, but the slide in his numbers on Afghanistan are dramatic. In April, 58 percent approved and 21 percent disapproved of his handling of the war. Now 38 percent approve and 43 disapprove. The biggest change is among independents: "Last month, 44% of independents approved and 36% disapproved of the job President Obama was doing on Afghanistan. Now, more independents disapprove than approve: 49% disapprove, and just 30% approve."
This follows months of White House seminars and a battle of the leakers. Because the president has yet to make up his mind, we also haven't heard a robust explanation of what we are doing and how we are going to achieve our aims. In addition, since April, Obama's overall foreign-policy approval has slid from 59 to 50 percent.
Could it be that indecision isn't playing well at home? Possibly. Public opinion can be fickle, especially on foreign policy. But the president and his spinners are kidding themselves if they think there is no price to be paid among voters for angst-ridden decision making. The president is expected to choose and to lead. He is doing neither. The voters are starting to fret.
