Credit Cardholders: Help is on the Way
On May 22, 2009, President Obama passed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights. This landmark measure received bipartisan support in both chambers and will make issuers state costs more clearly and end many arbitrary abuses. The bill takes full effect February 2010 – a few months sooner than the Federal Reserve rules, which do not become effective until July 2010.
Once the bill is effective, cardholders should experience a more consumer-friendly marketplace when the credit card industry plays by sensible and fairer rules.
The Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights will help borrowers by:
- Restricting issuers' ability to raise rates on existing balances.
- Requiring 45 days notice before hiking interest rates on new balances.
- Requiring that payment amounts above the minimum payment be applied to the highest interest rate balances first.
- Allowing over-the-limit fees only when a borrower affirmatively consents to having over-the-limit transactions approved.
- Requiring that fees be reasonable and proportional to the violation of terms.
- Prohibiting issuers from charging consumers a fee for paying a bill by telephone or over the Internet.
- Requiring credit card statements to be mailed 21 days before the bill is due rather than the current 14 days.
The new law does not restrict the level of interest rates or the size of the rate increases that are allowed. There is no provision to address the industry practice of reducing credit limits at any time for any reason, or the continued insertion of forced arbitration clauses (that prevent a borrower's dispute being heard by a jury in court) in almost every credit card agreement.
American credit cardholders are vital to this country's recovery, so these protections must be implemented as soon as possible. Families rely on credit cards to help pay health care expenses among other bills, buy groceries and make ends meet in this troubled economy. Allowing unfair credit card industry practices to go unchecked would have a harmful effect, just as toxic mortgage lending practices have done.

Composed of Brett Fraser (George Town, Cayman Islands), Shaune Fraser (George Town, Cayman Islands), Conor Dwyer (Winnetka, Ill.) and Roberto Gomez (Weston, Fla.), the quartet finished off a tough three-day battle with a strong race.

B. Fraser clocked a 1:50.86 in finals of the 200-yard back, good for seventh, while Floridas distance freestyle crew dominated the field in the mile, sweeping second through sixth and also taking the eighth-place spot.

After a first-place finish in the 200-yard free Saturday, sophomore Shara Stafford (Topeka, Kan.) rallied for the Gators in the 100 free with an NCAA provisional mark victory (49.76), while senior Liz Kemp (Potomac, Md.) finished third (50.63). Floridas distance free corps consisted of sophomore Angelina Ballatore (Gainesville, Fla.) and freshman Eva Lehtonen (Rochester Hills, Mich.), who both clocked 16:49.60 to tie for fourth place in the 1650-yard free.
Teresa Crippen (Conshohocken, Pa.), Gemma Spofforth (West Sussex, England) and Lily Ramirez (Gainesville, Fla.) proved to be a triple threat in the 200-yard back in second, third and fourth, respectively, with times of 1:57.61, 1:57.87 and 2:00.25. Sophomores Anna-Liisa Pold (San Diego, Calif.) and Kirsten Smith (Cary, N.C.) and freshman Corinne Showalter (Sarasota, Fla.) stacked the depth in the consolation final in 11th (2:00.76), 12th (2:02.47) and 14th (2:03.85).
Freshman Sarra Lajnef (Tunis, Tunisia), Smith and sophomore Daniela Victoria (Plantation, Fla.) placed seventh, 10th and 11th in the womens 200-yard breast, while a total of seven Gators dominated the 10-woman championship final in the 200-yard fly.
Sophomore Jemma Lowe (Hartlepool, England) claimed the top spot in 1:58.89, while Crippen rallied for second (1:59.63). Freshman Jamie Bohunicky (Gainesville, Fla.) took fourth (2:01.09), Pold (2:03.18), Showalter (2:04.38), Kemp (2:04.64) and Lehtonen (2:06.60) placed seventh through 10th.
Florida finished out competition in Atlanta with a second-place finish in the 400-yard free relay, clocking a 3:23.21, after being out-touched by the ladies from Florida State (3:21.82).
In diving action, senior Kara Salamone (Hollywood, Fla.) (298.95), junior Monica Dodson (Franklin, Ind.) (246.25) and sophomore Kaylee Doback (Brandon, Fla.) (196.20) placed first, third and eighth in the platform competition.
Both Florida squads will be back in action Tuesday when Florida State travels to Gainesville for the in-state rivalry. Diving is slated to begin at 1 p.m., while swimming competition commences at 5 p.m. from the ODome.

Natural herbal blend for hair loss & thinning hair†
Formulated specifically for men, this safe and effective natural hair regrowth formula
helps to block the production of DHT, the "bad" form of the hormone testosterone,
and provides intensive nourishment to revitalize the scalp and enhance hair growth.†
Research indicates that one of the primary causes of age-related
hair loss is the increased level of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the "bad"
form of the hormone testosterone. As men age, rising levels of DHT cause the hair
to shorten its normal growth phase, resulting in a receding hairline, often coupled
with a growing bald spot on top of the head. This type of hair loss is more commonly
known as male pattern baldness, or MPB.
NuHair® for Men helps block the production of DHT and provides
intensive nourishment to revitalize the scalp and enhance hair growth. This natural
formula includes the DHT-inhibiting standardized herbs He Shou Wu and Saw Palmetto,
as well as Silica, Biotin, and Folic Acid. For added effectiveness, Nu Hair®
for Men also includes BioPerine® to deliver maximum results.†
NuHair® for Men provides intensive nourishment for:

Contact DNR about least terns nesting on rooftops
Least terns initiate nesting activities beginning in late April and S.C. Department of Natural Resources' biologists are interested in documenting least terns nesting on rooftops. If you see terns flying above a building and think they are nesting on the roof please send information about the location to Mary Catherine Martin at email@example.com.
South Carolina least terns were first observed nesting on roofs with gravel or pebble covering in 1975. Most of the roofs are close to bays, creeks, lakes, or ponds where the terns can catch fish. The first statewide census of least tern nesting in 1989 indicated that 11 percent of the nests were on roofs. By the late 1990s the proportion of roof nesting was approximately 70 percent. It appears that South Carolina's least terns are highly reliant on roof nesting sites.
The least tern is the smallest American tern and in South Carolina it is seen primarily in coastal areas. Least terns are slate grey above, white below and have a black crown. In South Carolina and other coastal states, beach nesting areas for least terns are very limited because of development and human activity.
South Carolina's natural resources are essential for economic development and contribute nearly $30 billion and 230,000 jobs to the state's economy. Find out why Life's Better Outdoors.

The peek inside the newly-revealed Chua and Mordesh WildStar races continues this week with a character interview with the alchemy mastermind Victor Lazarin. Carbine lets us glimpse a bit of Victor's personality through the interview, and as always– humor's brought to the forefront in an awesome way that's uniquely WildStar. Here's a sample:
Q: What about the zombie part?
A: Do I appear to you an abomination with an appetite for the living?
Q: Well…yes?
A: My proclivities do not run in that vein, I assure you. Any interests I have in removing your skull and applying my attentions to your brain are purely clinical.
Q: Whew! That's a load off of my mind. But just to be clear, you guys weren't always this…hideous and disgusting? If you'll pardon the expression.
A: We are no longer quite as majestic as we once were.
Q: So what happened?
A: We were formerly a more visually advantageous race. But although we enjoyed long lifespans, we were fervently fascinated by the figure of death, flagrantly flaunting its finality. My goal was to forever free us from its yoke. To preserve those dear to us who might still be saved.
Q: And your solution?
A: I created the Everlife Elixir.
Q: Which was supposed to grant you eternal life?
A: Your power to perceive the obvious is truly impressive.
Fun stuff. Check out the full interview here.

(Not a giggle like I am laughing at the crazy lady standing next to me so she doesn't attack but a she made a legitimate funny so I am giggling giggle.)

I am a bargain shopper
I bought these shoes from Nine West for $1.07 total today. Yes, one dollar and seven cents. Marked down to $29.99 from $69.00 then an additonal 30% off the lowest marked price and then I had a $20 off coupon.
I caught Rocky IV on tv the other night and was struck by the resemblance of Burt Young to a guy that I used to hook up with. Now imagine what this guy looks like at 35 and you may know my type.

smooth away
I woke up in the middle of the night and this infomerical was on. I am intrigued because I really do not enjoy shaving, but I am not a fan of being hairy either. So according to the commercial, this is how it works: "Superfine Crystals That Buff Away Unwanted Hair Leaving Your Skin So Soft & Incredibly Smooth"...wouldn't some fine grit sand parer work the same? And cheaper?

I am a sucker for marketing
I hate to admit that I took some beauty tips from America's Next Top Model. I was intrigued by a pretty colored lip gloss with mint. I also hate to admit I really like it so far. Damn you Tyra!
And because I can't pass up an ad in a magazine for mascara, I had to try this when I saw it in the store. I bought the one for blue eyes and it's a blue-black color with a bit of a shimmer.

I am seriously surprised that no one ever tried to do this to me during my time as a bill collector. I guess if they were stupid enough to finance their boob jobs, they weren't smart enough to try this tactic.

Maybe I will make these to go with the turkey burgers.Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze
slightly adapted from Giada's Kitchen
makes about 48 cookies
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated suga
r2 eggs
1 (15-ounce) container whole-milk ricotta cheese
*zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the cookies:
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 1 tablespoon for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
For the glaze:
Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2-teaspoon onto each cookie and use the back of the spoon to gently spread. Let the glaze harden for about 2 hours.

Stuffed turkey burgers
I used to find Gwyneth Paltrow a bit pretentious. I don't totally know why. She dated Ben Affleck so she couldn't be a total stick in the mud, right? Anyway, after watching Spain on the Road Again, I areally started to like her (please don't judge me). As a result, I signed up for her email newsletter. (don't judge me on that either-I have done WAY worse.) Well today this recipe showed up in her newsletter. I may be in love. It's a lot of work for a stupid turkey burger but holy hot damn does it look tasty.Recipe from Goop.
Stuffed Turkey Burgers
All the flavors of Thanksgiving in a burger – what could be better?
SERVES: 2 (makes two huge burgers)
TIME: 20 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely minced onion
1 tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 cup Classic Bread Stuffing
2 hamburger buns
Cranberry Ketchup (see recipe below)
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add the onions and rosemary and cook for about ten minutes, or until quite soft and sweet. Let the onion mixture cool a bit and then put in a large mixing bowl with the turkey, salt and pepper. Mush the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands. Form a quarter of the mixture into a thin patty. Mound half of the stuffing in the center of the patty. Take another quarter of the mixture and form it into a patty and place on top, sealing the edges so that all the stuffing is snug inside. Repeat with the remaining turkey and stuffing.
Preheat your grill or broiler. Cook the burgers for five minutes on the first side, flip and cook for four more minutes or until the burgers are browned and firm. Cut the buns in half and grill alongside the burgers. Spread the buns with Cranberry Ketchup, tuck in the burgers and go to town.
Cranberry Ketchup
The ideal condiment for Stuffed Turkey Burgers.
TIME: 1 minute
2 spoonfuls of Cranberry Chutney
2 same-sized spoonfuls ketchup
Mix together.
Cranberry Chutney
Cranberries are full of antioxidants and their recognizably tart flavor is a must at any Thanksgiving table. Luckily, making chutney couldn't be easier and you can make it up to a week in advance.
SERVES: 12 (makes about 2 cups)
TIME: 15 minutes
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup water
4 cups fresh cranberries
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
grated zest of 1 small orange or tangerine
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add the rest of the ingredients. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about ten minutes or until thick. Let the chutney cool before serving.

What's So Wrong With Calling Santa Ana a Latino City?
Categories: Illegals, Illegals, Illegals!, Illegals, Illegals, Illegals!, Notes from the Banana Republic
But then, they just went overboard.
At the meeting, councilmember Vincent Sarmiento, the sole non-Mexi on the council (he's Bolivian, the Mexicans of South America) took back a comment he made at the previous meeting-that SanTana was a "Latino city."
"The question of how Latino this city's identity is, or should be, keeps cropping up, creating a bit of a minefield for the all-Latino City Council, Galvin wrote, adding that Sarmiento told residents at this past meeting that he regretted his previous comment. "We're a multicultural city, and that's what I should have called the city. It isn't a Latino city. It's a multicultural city that's predominantly Latino."
Oh, please. SanTana is one of the most-Latino cities in the United States--what's so wrong with calling it a "Latino city"? Latinos make up only about half of Albuquerque's residents, but no one in the city gets offended if you call it a Hispanic town--hell, they love it, because it plays to their fantasy that everyone is descended from pure-blooded conquistadors. No one bats an eye if someone described Boston as an Irish city, even if the micks lost their demographic control decades ago. Same with noting Milwaukee and its Teutonic essence, Minneapolis and its Scandinavian heritage, the whole of Jersey as Italian-American paradise, and the Miami area as a Cuban enclave. Saying these things don't denigrate Boston's Italians, Milwaukee's Laotians, the Twin Cities' Hmongs and Somalis; they're as much a part of those towns as any ethnic groups.
But you say SanTana is a Latino town, and people start railing about reverse racism and Reconquista--just look at the comments left by whiners when I spell the city's name as SanTana. Shit, people: we gotta learn from El Paso, a place so Mexican that an Irish guy was recently the head of the Mexican American Bar Association, a place so paisa that its premier Latino publishing house is run by a gabacho, a town so accepting of its Mexican reality that no one has a problem--so why should we? Calling SanTana Latino doesn't take away from its Cambodians, its Vietnamese, its gabachos, Samoans and mariposas. Just because it's a Latino city doesn't mean SanTana won't gentrify, won't improve, won't blah blah blah.
For crying out loud, look at the city's official name--it ain't St. Anne, son. This city and its fear of itself, I swear...

It is simply amazing the number of people who try to equate the Second Amendment of the Constitution only to hunting.
It is designed for the people to have a means of protecting themselves against a tyrannical government. If people think this is something that is not possible, they don't know much about history.
Some politicians are power hungry, as you can see by the number of folks who have been elected and don't want to leave. They spend millions to stay in power, so they have influence over people's lives. They enact laws restricting the regular folks' activities while exempting themselves from those same laws.
There are many so-called "assault rifles" that are just like a regular rifle, only with a different stock. It is a matter of choice, just like choosing a model of automobile.
A weapon is a tool. It can do nothing by itself. It can only be used to harm someone if a bad person chooses to do so. The best defense against a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun.
It is amazing what a reputation my weapons have, but they have never harmed anyone. When people reference the numbers of folks killed with guns, that also includes the actions of all law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Just remember, a government that wants to disarm its citizens is up to no good.

Donor registry event held for sick Lamont girl
LAMONT, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) - A baby girl is fighting for her life, suffering from a rare disease.
Adelene Martinez, of Lamont, was recently diagnosed with medula osea, or a cancer of the bone marrow.
The 18-month-old's father, Augustine Ramirez, recalls the weeks leading up to her diagnosis.
"She started walking as if she was tired and then would fall down," Ramirez says.
Adelene is currently at Children's Hospital Central California in Madera with her mother, waiting for a possible bone marrow match.
Hundreds of people from throughout Kern County made their way to Lamont's St. Augustine Church on Sunday to find out if they could possibly be a match for Adelene.
The registry event was put on by Be The Match, the world's largest marrow registry.
"Without a match, my baby could die" Ramirez says.

Millions of Americans need good-paying jobs. Unfortunately, Mitt Romney doesn't have a plan to create them. That's just what you'd expect from a man who made his fortune sending American jobs overseas and profitable companies into bankruptcy.
Read Whole Story
The implication made by the Romney ad plays on the fears of millions of American manufacturing workers who face the very real threat of having their jobs outsourced. These workers don't deserve pandering, nor do they deserve falsehoods.
If you were going to start a trade war against the United States, it is unlikely that your first salvo would be on chicken parts, or as the Chinese rather charmingly first announced, on dorkings.
Prices for tires could rise by $3 per tire, while the economic benefits to the nation--in the form of jobs and wages saved, taxes paid, and corporate profits--will more than double that.

Actress Kristen Bell narrates this well-done video that explains how the 1 billion people who live without easy access to clean water are affected by the crisis. It's not just that they can't turn on a faucet for a drink; it changes the way they spend their time, how much education they receive, and sometimes it makes the difference between life and death.
Over the past month, I have been reminded by what seems like every single PR person in the country that Earth Day is "just around the corner." (It's this Friday, April 22.) They would love for me to tell you about products you can buy for Earth Day — products that have some sort of "green" spin to them, some legitimate and some not. I've never understood why Earth Day is a reason to spend money on stuff.
If you want to spend some money on Earth Day, I like this idea better. Donate it to this organization, or another organization that you trust, that fights to get clean drinking water to people living in conditions you can't even imagine. It would be a much better use of your money, don't you think?

Anatomical Paintings by Ivan EbelJuxtapoz // Monday, 10 Oct 2011
We don't know if Swiss artist Ivan Ebel is going to continue or develop these anatomical paintings any further, but the first two images we have seen are a good start. Looks as if he is using anatomical design as a tattoo upon his painted human body. Both the female and male subjects get their own treatment.

Did many of you see The Hunger Games this weekend? My little sister went to a matinée today and LOVED it. I think she thought I was being overly critical. (For the record, I did enjoy it.)
Saturday morning, I attempted a 16-mile training run, but it turned into 12.5-miles after I stretched at a stoplight and accidentally put both hands in broken glass. (Darn the litterbugs in the world! I think it was a broken bottle.) The cuts weren't deep, but they wouldn't stop bleeding. I just decided to head home, clean the cuts, pack up, and head out-of-town.
A friend has a place near Smugglers' Notch. At first, I was a bit bummed that it wasn't warm and sunny like last weekend, but it felt good to hunker down inside a pine-wood cabin in the rain.
Cabin food!
Saturday night, we made salmon, this herbed quinoa (awesome), and a spinach/grapefruit salad. Followed by cheesecake for dessert. Divine.
The weather cleared for a bit Sunday morning, and we made it out for a short hike.
I spotted quite a few signs of spring.

5 LinkedIn Marketing Tips to Grow Your Business
Are you looking for ways to expand your business with LinkedIn?
With a recent homepage redesign, profile and company page redesigns, new mobile apps and the introduction of notifications and endorsements, engagement on LinkedIn is growing.
Understanding a few simple strategies that can help you become a smarter and more effective marketer can really boost your results over time.
Here are 5 high-impact strategies to boost your marketing results on LinkedIn.
#1: Review and Reboot Your LinkedIn Profile… Frequently
Most recently, LinkedIn made some major changes both to personal profiles and company pages. For a comprehensive review of the most recent updates, visit this post to learn more about how to optimize your LinkedIn profile and company page.
In addition to making sure that you adjust to the changes in your profile layout and features, it's a good idea to "reboot" your profile from time to time. I tend to reboot my profile every couple of months or so to keep it fresh, relevant and interesting.
Each time you update your profile, the update is shared to your network as long as you have this feature enabled in your settings.
Are You Disclosing? What You Need to Know about FTC Rules and Social Media
Have you wondered about U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) disclosure regulations? Wondering whether you've been compliant?
Keep reading for a detailed understanding of FTC rules and regulations on endorsements and testimonials in social media.
Some background…
Any time the US Government implements new regulations, there is discussion, debate, information and plenty of misinformation.
Nearly 2 years ago, in December 2009, the FTC revised, for the first time in 3 decades, its rules and regulations about endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
The prior rules were made long before the Internet and needed to be updated to account for this new type of media. Since implementing the new FTC Disclosure Guidelines PDF for endorsements and testimonials in advertising, bloggers have been given a multitude of interpretations, rules, best practices and how-to's. Sadly, most of the information has been more scare tactics than useful.
5 Ways to Get the Support of Social Media Influencers
It's the Holy Grail of interactive marketing: getting "social media influencers"—the ones with the voice and the reach, the ones to whom everyone else listens—to endorse and promote what you're doing.
Recently, my company managed to inspire 60 such influencers to participate in our event, called The Influencer Project, and they even took it upon themselves to help spread the word.
People like Social Media Examiner's own Michael Stelzner, Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble, Gary Vaynerchuk, David Meerman Scott, and others all signed on. We were grateful beyond belief.

Treating babies, beating anxiety
Whether your baby was diagnosed with health problems while still in the womb or born prematurely with critical needs, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota provides extraordinary inpatient care at our St. Paul and Minneapolis hospitals — not just for baby, but for the entire family.
We know the hospital can be a scary place. We may not be able to erase all your worries, but you can find some peace of mind in knowing that Children's offers the most advanced care for babies and a comfortable, calming environment for families.
Get to know our nurseries
Our three types of nurseries provide different levels of care:
One or more of these units is at Children's - Minneapolis, Children's - St. Paul and The Mother Baby Center.
Babies belong at home. Not in hospitals
That's why Children's created a home away from home for babies and their families. For starters, we know peace and quiet play a big role in a baby's care. That's why all babies get their own room. And when it comes to twins, there's no splitting up a perfect pair. Twins share the same room, making it simpler for families to spend time with the duo.
Here's more on how we keep families comfortable and involved in their baby's care:
Better, faster, stronger
Children's strives to make each family's stay with us the best it can possibly be. To that end, we offer top-notch care plus a wide range of family services and resources. Our ultimate goal is to help babies grow stronger and return to their rightful place of healthy and happy faster.

Fracking is already a nationwide debate. Soon, it might become a nationwide practice.
The oil and gas extraction method is now being considered for the vast oil reserves in Southern California. While fracking can work for both oil and gas, in this case "tight oil," or oil trapped within rock underground, is the target.
Needless to say — you've heard about fracking before, right? — fracking the California dirty oil reserves would be a bad idea. Grist lists 10 reasons why, including noting the oil isn't the "bridge fuel" that natural gas sometimes is described as.
The No. 1 reason in the list is that California's tight oil is just as dirty as the tar sands in Canada, according to a score assigned by the California Air Resources Board.
See the full list at Grist.
