Latest Auto Lending News
Here are the latest news in the world of consumer auto lending. Stay informed on the latest practices affecting the cost of your next car loan and vehicle.
- Credit Spigot Opening Up for Subprime Auto Borrowers
U.S. News & World Report 16 Jul 2012
Credit remains tight for most Americans, but auto financing is the exception. In recent months, consumers have found it increasingly easy and cheap to borrow money for vehicle purchases. New auto bank loans reached a seven-year high between January and March 2012, Equifax reports. The trend even applies to subprime borrowers. "The feeling is there is more loosening in auto lending than there has been and will be in other sectors of the consumer credit world," notes Andrew Jennings, chief analytics officer at FICO. The increase in auto lending is partly due to higher demand for cars and trucks to replace older vehicles. Additionally, auto loans tend to be less risky for lenders, with traditionally lower delinquency rates. Cars and trucks also are easier to repossess than homes. "It's not like a house where you stop making the payments and they take two years to kick you out of the house," explains Bankrate.com senior financial analyst Greg McBride. "You miss two car payments and it's not going to be in the driveway in the morning." However, even as borrowers with subprime credit have more access to credit, it comes with higher interest rates.
- Rate of Late Auto Loan Payments Sinks to Lowest Level Since 1999 in 1st Quarter
Associated Press 22 May 2012
The pace of late payments for auto loans fell nationwide in the first three months of the year to the lowest level in more than a decade, even though lenders have granted financing for more high-risk borrowers. For the 2012 first quarter, the rate of U.S. auto loan payments 60 days or more past due declined to 0.36 percent, about 27 percent lower than the same period of last year, according to TransUnion. That also is down about 22 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011. The latest rate is the lowest since TransUnion began tracking auto loan data in 1999. Auto loan delinquencies have been trending downward on an annual basis for the last 10 quarters in a row -- in part because, after the last recession, many borrowers opted to pay their car notes ahead of their mortgage, credit cards, and other debts.
- The Color of Money: Pay for Car With Cash, You'll Reap the Payoff
Columbus Dispatch (OH) 20 May 2012
While it may seem like common sense, some consumers are unaware that they can buy a vehicle with cash as an alternative to getting caught up in predatory auto financing. Edmunds.com recently announced the launch of its "Debt-Free Car Project," which aims to teach consumers to purchase a reliable used car for less than $5,000 in cash. The site editors developed the project due to concerns over "buy here, pay here" used car outlets. Consumer advocates have long criticized dealers who prey on vulnerable individuals by offering car loans at high interest rates. According to Edmunds, buyers are often working to save about $3,000 to purchase a reliable car. "We were thinking, 'Why don't people buy a car outright,'" said Ronald Montoya, Edmunds.com Consumer Advice Editor. "If they are putting down deposits of $3,000, then that's more than enough to buy a car that is reliable." As part of the campaign, Edmunds staff purchased a 1996 Lexus for $3,800. The team plans to track and write about the vehicle's performance over the next year.
- Returning Veterans Can Lower Credit Card Interest Rates
KSTP Eyewitness News ABC 5 (Minnesota) 16 May 2012
Although not widely known, the 2003 Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) offers valuable protections for current and past members of the U.S. military. Under it, deployed veterans can serve out their missions overseas without worrying about finances. For example, the law prevents banks from foreclosing on veterans who are deployed. This applies not only during the active-duty period but also for nine months after. During this time, creditors cannot foreclose or repossess items from veterans without a court order allowing them to do so. The SCRA also caps loan interest rates at 6 percent while enlisted persons are on active duty, a limit that also applies to credit cards, auto loans, and business financing. Veterans who send a letter to lenders to request the 6 percent cap, within 180 days of coming home, are entitled to a credit or refund if their loan is fully paid.
- Car Buyers Cautioned to Avoid Financing Scheme
Nooga.com 08 May 2012
Consumer protection agencies are cautioning auto buyers about a certain type of costly financing that can involve higher interest rates or bigger down payments. With "yo-yo financing," a consumer takes possession of a vehicle before the financing process is completed. This is an offshoot of the "spot delivery" process, in which the buyer can drive away with a car before the financing process is officially completed. "Spot deliveries aren't typically a problem," Carroll Lachnit, consumer advice editor for Edmunds.com, said. "But they are sort of a 'gateway' that unscrupulous dealers can use to pull a buyer into the yo-yo financing scheme." Problems occur when a buyer with poor credit does not actually qualify for a dealer's loan. If a car is purchased in a conditional sale, the buyer can drive off the lot; but sale terms are not finalized in the contract until the loan is approved by the dealership. If the dealership does not approve the loan, it can negotiate new, less favorable terms with the buyer. "Unscrupulous dealers use yo-yo financing to lull buyers into thinking that they have loans they can afford, but then pull a bait and switch for loans with higher interest rates or a bigger down payment or both," Lachnit said. A survey by the Center for Responsible Lending, conducted with legal aid groups that help consumers with auto buying problems, found that about 27 percent of respondents said their clients had experienced a yo-yo scam. Buyers can avoid the scam by receiving preapproved financing and by making sure every part of the deal is in writing. They should avoid signing anything "conditional" in the contract. Individuals with bad credit may want to try to improve it before financing a car purchase, or shop around for a car loan and have the financing settled before purchasing. Saving money and paying for a used car in cash can help avoid financing schemes completely.
- 3 California Bills to Rein In Buy Here Pay Here Dealers Advance
Los Angeles Times 25 Apr 2012
Two consumer protection measures targeting the Buy Here Pay Here industry easily passed in a California Assembly committee on April 24. Introduced by Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) and Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), the bills would give buyers information about a car's value and a 30-day or 1,000-mile warranty against breakdowns. Another proposal that passed the state's Senate Judiciary Committee, introduced by Sen. Ted Lieu (D-Torrance), would put Buy Here Pay Here dealers in the category of state-regulated lenders, requiring them to register with the California Department of Corporations. The bill also would cap interest rates at 17 percent plus the federal funds rate. The measures were introduced after several stories surfaced last year detailing the industry's rapid growth and profitability. Consumer advocates claim that Buy Here Pay Here dealers charge buyers too much for high-mileage clunkers, imposing high interest payments and repossessing the car when a payment is missed. The dealers often target low-income and poor-credit borrowers, as well as military personnel. Feuer's bill also would ban dealers from requiring customers to pay their loans in person at the car lots, which is often just a ploy to repossess the vehicles from late payers.
- Streetsboro Car Dealer Sued for Violations of Ohio Consumer Laws
RecordPub.com 21 Apr 2012
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has brought lawsuits against two car dealerships, including Keep It Moving Auto of Cleveland, alleging that the businesses and their owners violated multiple state consumer laws. The dealerships are "buy-here-pay-here" operations, which offer financing for used vehicles directly through the dealerships, often catering to lower-income consumers and charging high interest rates. Several consumers filed complaints against the businesses, after which the AG's office found several violations. These include failing to notify consumers of payment due dates; failing to inform consumers of the total cost of credit; and including an acceleration clause for consumers who default, meaning the total balance would be due immediately, also without notice. Keep It Moving Auto owner Ronnie Simmons Jr. and employee Chester Leonard are charged with violations of Ohio's Retail Installment Sales Act, Consumer Sales Practices Act, Odometer Rollback and Disclosure Act, and Certificate of Motor Vehicle Title Law. DeWine is seeking injunctive relief, civil penalties, and consumer restitution.
- Buy Here Pay Here Chain Is Probed
Los Angeles Times 21 Apr 2012
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has launched an investigation into Phoenix-based DriveTime Automotive Group, one of the largest Buy Here Pay Here used-vehicle chains. DriveTime, with 90 dealerships nationwide, is the first Buy Here Pay Here company to be investigated by the federal agency. The Buy Here Pay Here industry consists of used-car dealers that lend to people with damaged credit by offering direct, in-house financing rather than using outside lenders like banks or credit unions. Borrowers have griped, however, about high prices, exorbitant interest rates, onerous payments, and speedy repossessions that often ruin their credit and drag them into bankruptcy. In January, CFPB director Richard Cordray said the industry is a priority for the fledgling regulator. The investigation marks the most prominent step taken to rein in an industry that has flourished below the radar of regulatory scrutiny for years.
- Consumer Advocates Seek Halt to 'Yo-Yo' Car Financing
New York Times 18 Apr 2012
Consumer advocacy groups are calling on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to put a stop to "yo-yo" car financing schemes. In a typical scenario, a consumer drives off the lot with a car, believing the deal is complete, but is called back several days later and required to sign a less favorable deal or forfeit the vehicle. In February, the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) submitted testimony to the FTC, calling the schemes harmful to low-income customers and those with bad credit. The CRL told the federal regulators that the "spot sales" usually occur when a dealership is unable to sell the loan to a bank or finance company. According to Christopher Kukla, senior counsel for government affairs at CRL, buyers in such situation often sign new contracts with higher interest rates and/or down payments; and those who refuse sometimes are unable to get their trade-in vehicles back. The CRL and other consumer advocates are asking the FTC to halt these sales as "unfair and deceptive" practices. The National Automobile Dealers Association claims that such deals are not prevalent.
- Yo-Yo Scam Exploits Credit-Challenged Car Buyers
MSNBC 12 Apr 2012
Conditional auto loans are popping up all over the country, whereby buyers drive off the lot the day of the sale but are forced to return the vehicle if the financing falls through days or weeks later. The dealership typically tells the consumer to return the car or pay more money. This "yo-yo" financing practice leaves consumers who cannot pay the extra costs without reliable transportation and, often, without their trade-in. According to new research from the Center for Responsible Lending, victims typically have low or no credit. The consumer advocacy group said more than half of "yo-yo" car buyer had a tough time recovering their down payments or trade-in vehicles, causing the majority to sign a new contract with a higher interest rate. In its report, Deal or No Deal: How Yo-Yo Scams Rig the Game Against Car Buyers," CRL polled five organizations that assist individuals with auto finance issues. It found that 27 percent of their clients in the last year had fallen prey to such a scam. Car dealers counter than most car loans are conditional. Consumers should consider obtaining a loan from a bank or credit union to avoid such problems. Several consumer groups are pushing for the Federal Trade Commission to establish new rules that would require contracts to be binding on both sides. "The dealer should not have the ability to back out of a deal -- days, weeks or even months later -- because they've decided that the profit is not to their liking," said CRL's Chris Kukla.

VW Blocks Suzuki's Efforts to Force End to Stalled Partnership
Volkswagen AG rejected efforts by Suzuki Motor Corp. to force an end to a two-year-old partnership that hasn't yielded a single project.
Suzuki said today that it terminated the cooperation agreement and demanded that VW sell back its 19.9 percent stake in the Japanese manufacturer, threatening to take the dispute to an international court for arbitration. Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen called the actions "without foundation," reaffirming plans to retain the holding.
"The glass is broken," said Arndt Ellinghorst, a London-based analyst with Credit Suisse. "I don't see any reason why VW should not sell its stake back to Suzuki" as there seems little chance of repairing the relationship.
The two companies have been at odds since VW described Suzuki as an "associate" in its 2010 annual report, published in March. Relations took a turn for the worse after Chairman Osamu Suzuki accused VW of disparaging the Hamamatsu, Japan-based company's honor by alleging it had violated the 2009 contract by buying engines from Fiat SpA.
Suzuki's shares fell 2.7 percent to 1,565 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo, compared with a 1.2 percent drop in the benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average. VW declined as much as 1.2 percent to 123.15 euros and was down 1 percent at 11:41 a.m. in Frankfurt trading.
Each company has accused the other of breaching their cooperation agreement, which was meant to supply Suzuki with technology and provide VW with access to the Indian car market. VW's move to back off calling Suzuki an "associate" on Oct. 27 hasn't quelled the feud.
Drive for Independence
"In the absence of VW's cooperation and given its failure to do what was agreed, there is no basis for the partnership to continue," Chairman Suzuki said today. "We will now work to restore the relationship between Suzuki and VW to its original state as independent parties who do not restrict each other."
Suzuki, which owns 1.49 percent of VW, last month accused VW of violating a partnership agreement by not sharing technology and sent a letter to VW asking it to remedy "numerous" breaches of an agreement. VW hasn't agreed to its requests, Suzuki said in today's statement.
VW responded saying Suzuki's claims that it didn't provide access to technology were "factually incorrect" and that it fulfilled its commitments under the agreement.
'No Foundation'
"We are extremely disappointed that Suzuki has taken this step" to terminate the agreement, the German automaker said in an e-mailed statement. "There is no legal foundation whatsoever obliging us to surrender our shares. Volkswagen will continue to hold its stake."
The Japanese automaker will give VW "some time" before beginning arbitration outside of Japan and Germany on the shareholdings, Executive Vice President Yasuhito Harayama said at a press briefing in Tokyo today.

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly.

EUGENE — Nobody stormed the court Sunday, but that didn't make Oregon's win against Arizona State any less significant.
One game after a win against No. 4 Arizona ignited a raucous postgame celebration, the Ducks held off the Sun Devils 68-65 for their 18th consecutive victory at home.
Tony Woods gave Oregon (14-2, 3-0) the lead for good with a two-handed dunk with 1:44 remaining, and the Ducks made 7 of 8 attempts from the free-throw line in the final minute to secure the win.
"Getting these two back-to-back wins let us know what we're capable of," said Woods, who finished with 14 points, including 12 in the second half on 5 of 7 shooting. "A lot of people were patting us on the back after that (Arizona win), which is good, it's good to feel that support from the community, but coach has been really preaching don't get too caught up in that."
Carlos Emory and Damyean Dotson also finished with 14 points each for the Ducks (14-2, 3-0 Pac-12), who are off to their best start since going 18-1 in the 2006-07 season. Oregon is 3-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
Dominic Artis added 10 points for the Ducks, and Carlos Emory had eight rebounds.
The Ducks haven't been ranked all season, but their sweep of Arizona (15-1, 3-1) and Arizona State (14-3, 3-1) could change that.
"It was really big for us to get these wins," Woods said. "It's important that we keep it rolling, especially if we want some more recognition and ultimately try and win this conference."
Jahii Carson scored 20 points, Evan Gordon had 17 and Carrick Felix added 12 for the Sun Devils, who were trying to go 15-2 for the first time since the 1980-81 season.
"It was a close, hard-fought game," Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek said.
A 3-pointer by Felix with 2:08 to play put Arizona State up 60-59, but Woods answered for the Ducks with his slam to give Oregon a 61-60 advantage.
"We were very fortunate on a night when nothing seemed to click," Oregon head coach Dana Altman said. "I'm not sure if it was focus or intensity. We found a way to win, and in a 31-game schedule you're going to have a couple of those."
Arizona State led 13-11 early in the first half when Gordon made consecutive 3-pointers to extend the Sun Devils' lead to 19-11 with 11:32 before halftime.
It could've been worse for the Ducks, who were in a 1 of 8 shooting slump at one point before a 3-pointer from Artis ignited a 12-0 run that put Oregon ahead 23-19 at the 6:19 mark.
The last five points of Oregon's run came on a put-back layup and 3-pointer by Dotson, who followed with another layup and 3-pointer in a 10-point scoring outburst to keep the Ducks ahead 28-26.
Oregon went into halftime ahead 32-28 after ending the half on a 7-2 run.

Bingin Surf by ESP - When Conditions Align
I'm still settling in to my new position at Albens Cider, but that doesn't mean I'm missing out on all the waves! Check out this awesome shot courtesy of Mul Sinoge at ESP! A lot of conditions have to align for this spot to break properly, but it's one of my favorite waves in Bali when it's on (and no, this is not Bingin).
Photos provided by ESP. If you're down in the Bingin or Impossibles area, make sure to pop in and say hi to Mul! He's there shooting pretty much everyday, and you're bound to end up with some great shots if your in the lineup. Conact him via e-mail, facebook, or call him at either +6281916727595 or +6285738677532.

I was invited to go to Yosemite with a large group of co-workers for a week long class with Ansel Adams. Since I knew that the zone system was for sheet film and I had just stretched to by a 35mm camera and lenses, I knew better and passed it up.
A class with him now would be great, but I am afraid that his present environment is not all that desireable to me now.

A looming half-million-dollar campaign-finance fine against a Colorado political committee has caused a stir in the secretary of state race.
The fine — currently $528,500 — is pending against the Colorado Independent Auto Dealers Association political committee because it did not file required reports for a nearly three-year period beginning in early 2008.
For much of that time, the committee's registered agent was Scott Gessler, the Republican candidate for secretary of state.
Gessler, a lawyer who specializes in election issues, said he couldn't talk about the reasons for the delinquent filings because of attorney-client confidentiality.
Colorado's Election 2010
Election News and Candidate Info
A request for a fine waiver that the association sent to the secretary of state's office doesn't blame Gessler for the errors. Instead, the request describes internal chaos and alleged financial malfeasance by a bookkeeping contractor as the causes.
The request says the contractor stopped paying Gessler's firm to be the registered agent in late 2006 or early 2007, though Gessler's name remained on official paperwork.
The association rehired Gessler this year, and Mario Nicolais, an attorney at Gessler's firm, has since taken over as the group's official registered agent.
"CIADA sincerely regrets its failure to comply with filing requirements," Gary Zimmerman, the group's new executive director, wrote in the waiver request.
Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, a Democrat who is running against Gessler, said he doesn't get involved in deciding fine waivers, to avoid potential conflicts of interest. He said the case shows why campaign-finance reporting needs to be taken seriously.
"It's a serious transgression," Buescher said. "That's why the legislature wrote a statute that imposes fines."
Secretary of state officials sent dozens of letters and invoices to Gessler's office since the start of 2008 notifying him of the overdue filings and fines. It wasn't until last month that the committee, through Nicolais, filed its late reports.
Those reports show the committee collected more than $20,000 in contributions during the period. State records reveal that the committee made more than $12,000 in contributions during that time to candidates and other political groups.
Gessler said the size of the fine reinforces his argument that the campaign-finance system is set up as a "gotcha" to overcharge groups for clerical lapses.
"The penalties oftentimes end up being exceedingly disproportionate," he said.
Buescher and Gessler have stumbled in filings for their secretary of state campaigns.
Buescher filed a report one day late last month and paid a $50 fine. He said a computer hiccup delayed the filing.
Gessler blamed computer and clerical errors for the $250 in fines his campaign has been hit with. A $200 fine was subsequently waived, and he said he believed the remaining $50 fine would be as well.

Why I Wiped HIV Off My Face
October 30, 2015
Some years ago, I told someone that I was HIV positive before I agreed to his invitation for a date. "Yeah, I know," he casually replied, and then he looked a little embarrassed, as if he shouldn't have said it. It was too late, of course; I knew exactly what he meant. He could tell my HIV status by my face.

AHF Reinstates Advocacy Funding and They Totally Mean It This Time
April 21, 2015
AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has quietly reinstated funding to a Louisiana AIDS advocacy event, two weeks after pulling their support because one of its organizers is involved in a whistleblower lawsuit against AHF. And they really mean it this time -- and would prefer that we believe the withdrawal of support never happened.

Home > China Destination > Hebei > Hengshui > Hengshui Attractions > Baoyun Temple
Baoyun Temple is one of the most notable structures within China, particularly in Hebei Province. This is more than just a landmark for travelers. It is also a tourist attraction which stands as a symbol of the rich history and prosperous culture of this place.
The Baoyun Temple can be dated back to the earlier dynasties within China. The fact that it still stands today is already quite fascinating. When one witnesses the interesting structure of this temple, it is easier to understand why this is considered as an important part of the province.
During the golden age of the Baoyun Temple, the sounding bells on the towers could be heard within a large area of the land. According to recovered tablets, this temple was initially built during the Sui Dynasty. However, this is not a definitive data because there is contrasting information that the temple is already erected during the time of the North and South dynasties.
When the Baoyun Temple was still at its peak, it receives generous amount of visitors because it is frequented by pilgrims.
Things to Do
Architectural Sight-Seeing
Merely standing quite afar from Baoyun Temple will already make the trip so worth it. This structure has a very distinct architecture which is not frequently seen around China. Though it still exudes a very traditional appeal, its uniqueness can not be denied.
Highest Tower
It looks like a stack of polygonal-shaped structure, each one having doors. There are eight tiers or floors for this structure. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that it forms an almost pyramidal shape because each of the tiers decrease circumference as it goes higher. This structure is considered as the highest tower within the entire Baoyun Temple.
The walk towards the top of the tower is an enthralling adventure. The climb entails taking the stairs and each one leads to a door which allows one to ascend to the next level. There is no doubt, this highest tower presents magnificence and it also exudes prowess.
Place of Worship
Despite the structural significance of the Baoyun Temple, this primarily remains as a place of worship. Inside the temple is a statue of Buddha. People go to this place to offer their prayers and express their faith. Some people also enter the temple to give their offerings.
The statue of Buddha is also another work of art. It shows the intricacy of even the earliest sculpture of Chinese people. Originally, the Buddha which is found in the southern section of the tower's first floor is made of stone which is carefully carved and smoothened.
Walking Around
Aside from exploring the interior of the tower, visitors of the Baoyun Temple should not miss out the fun of walking around the compound. The area outside the structures is filled with trees and various types of flowering plants. Hence, a leisurely stroll can be quite relaxing.
There are also stone covered pathways which people can easily follow so they can explore the entirety of the Baoyun Temple with ease. Other tourists opt to have tour guides who will accompany them. On the other hand, there are others who want to be a little more adventurous on their own so they would rather walk around alone.
There are also stone structures which are often seen in the front part of the structures. Yes, these look very decorative but there is a deeper meaning for these structures. These are symbolic of the traditional Chinese belief.
Solo Adventure Tips:
No.1 Central Street, Taocheng District
How to Get There?
The most convenient means of public transportation is by train. Beijing -Kowloon Railway and Shide Railway meets here.
Ticket Price:
Opening Hours:
All year round, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
More Tips:
Since the exploration around Baoyun Temple entails walking outdoors, it is best to visit this place during the summer months.

A student's view: Why Obama, Romney and the American people lost the debate
How campaign messages can determine an election
How's the state of the union? Depends upon whom you ask
Written off only a few months ago by pundits and not a few voters, Obama's prospects have been enhanced by several recent developments, including the killing of Sept. 11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden — an event Republican Mitch Daniels respectfully acknowledged in the Republican rebuttal to the state of the union. President Obama skillfully used this accomplishment at the beginning and end of his speech, not just to applaud our military but also as a nationally unifying moment that could teach us something about fighting our economic challenges.…

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
When: Wednesday October 23, 2013, 6:00 PM local time (9:00 EST)
Where: Pepsi Center, Denver, CO
Watch/Listen: TV: Radio: 620 KTAR
Last Meeting:
Denver pulverized the Suns in the last game of the 2012-13 season, signaling the end of the Michael Beasley era. Fitting that it happened in the mile high city... The final score of 118-98 wasn't even reflective of the savage beating the Suns were subjected to as the curtain closed on one of the most wretched seasons in franchise history. Yeah, that was fun.
Wilson Chandler scored 13 of his game high 21 points in the first quarter as the Nuggets ran off to a 33-20 lead. They extended this lead to 26 at halftime and led by as much as 29 in the third quarter before letting off the gas and coasting to an easy victory. Kendall Marshall had 14 assists in defeat, but 12 of them came in the second half of a blowout.
Team Bios:
Denver Nuggets: 2-3 (Preseason)
Points per game: 95.0 Points allowed: 99.8
The Nuggets bid farewell to Corey Brewer, Andre Iguodala and Kosta Koufous, as well as head coach George Karl. Karl ended his tenure with a winning record in all eight seasons in Denver, including five straight 50 win seasons - excluding the lockout shortened season, but ultimately fell victim to his team's feckless playoff performances. Although he did reach the Western Conference Finals in the 2008-09 season, he also orchestrated seven first round exits. Seven. In eight years.
The Nuggets have added Darrell Arthur, Randy Foye, J.J. Hickson and Nate Robinson to the fold with Brian Shaw taking over the coaching reigns. The team returns Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried, among others, and promises to be competitive in the Western Conference again this year (which will ultimately lead to another first round exit). The Suns will host Denver in their fifth regular season game, just 16 days after this contest, so this should be a good game to get familiarized with the new look Nuggets.
Five Nuggets have averaged 20+ minutes so far this preseason (Hickson, Lawson, JaVale McGee, Evan Fournier and Foye) out of a roster of 14. With less players than the Suns (17) to apportion minutes to every Nugget is averaging double digit minutes and all but three have appeared in all five games. Hickson has led Denver in scoring with 11.4 points per game on 59% shooting. The Nuggets are averaging 20 turnovers per game, even more than the Suns 19.2... Expect a sloppy game. Also, expect to see 20 year old second year player Evan Fournier get some more burn.
Phoenix Suns: 4-2
Points per game: 102.3 Points allowed: 95.2
The Suns are gearing up for a frenetic season pace by scoring a blistering 102.3 points per game... right? Well, take away the lopsided 130-89 victory over Maccabi Haifa and the Suns are only averaging 96.8 points against actual NBA teams. The scoring totals have whittled from 96 to 90 to 88 over the last three performances. Not the up tempo offense we're hoping to see in the upcoming campaign, but it's just preseason.
In contrast to the Nuggets five players, only Eric Bledsoe has averaged more than 20 minutes per game for the Suns. In those minutes he has given reasons for optimism with (rounded) averages of 12 points, three rebounds, six assists and three steals per game. The competition at some positions (e.g. small forward with P.J. Tucker, Marcus Morris and Gerald Green) has made minute allocation more turbid to begin the season. What is seemingly more transparent is that Kendall Marshall may do a lot of watching from the sidelines considering he is 13th on the roster in minutes played (52), just one ahead of Ish Smith (51).
The Suns are still basking in the glow of an 88-76 triumph over Oklahoma City in which they accomplished the amazing feat of shooting under 40% from the field, less than 25% from three point range (on 26 attempts) and south of 65% from the charity stripe while still managing to win by double digits. Seems like a fairly infrequent occurrence... But that type of game is exactly what the preseason is for.
What To Watch For:
Last chance for the players auditioning for roster spots to showcase their talents. I won't be surprised if the Suns limit Bledsoe, Dragic (tweaked ankle) and other probable starters to avoid the last preseason game injury jinx. Compound that with the fact this is a back-to-back set and I fully expect some of the DNP's from last night to see playing time.
The Final Word(s):
The Suns have a chance to finish the preseason on a high note with a 5-2 record. Since it may take them until December to duplicate that win total for regular season victories they might as well rack up the W's now and not let the paucity that awaits temper their enthusiasm.
Starting with the obvious, neither the Phoenix Suns nor the Oklahoma City Thunder cared less about winning the preseason game than getting chance to look at some players before cut down day to a max of 15 per roster.
The Thunder rested Kevin Durant, Nick Collison and Derek Fisher while the Suns rested Goran Dragic (ankle) even though he suited up for pregame shoot-around and looked healthy.
This game was more about getting a look at some guys on each roster. The game was sloppy as a result: 38% shooting for the Suns (23% on 26 three-point attempts) and 38% for the Thunder (10% on 19 three point attempts). The energy vacillated between high and low, and once again Hornacek went deep into the bench by playing 13 of 16 available players.
Even the players who didn't see court time will get their chance tomorrow night, on a back-to-back in the high altitude of Denver. Dionte Christmas, James Nunnally and Kendall Marshall were healthy scratches while Archie Goodwin and Ish Smith got some good run in the second half.
Since the focus of the game was on players, let's review them:
If he could just fix that jumper - he doesn't even get rotation on it - he could potentially be an All-Star type player. Even while going 0-4 on open threes and 1-4 on early midrange shots, Bledsoe still put up 15 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in just 28 minutes of play. His defense on his young counterpart - Reggie Jackson - was good enough to basically shut Jackson down. Jackson got most of his 18 points against diminutive Ish Smith. This was clearly Bledsoe's best game of the preseason.
If he could fix that basketball IQ - being in the right place at the right time on defense and off the ball - he could be a really good player. Hella athlete put down a couple of monster, super-max dunks we haven't seen since the apostrophe left town and made 3 three-pointers in the first half to help the Suns to a big lead. Overall, Green had 15 points in 18 minutes and, while not a great defender, didn't let Jeremy Lamb find his missing confidence.
If he could move that body faster in driving situations - seriously, I could have cooked some eggs in the time it took for him to drive to the basket a couple of times - you might call this one of Channing's best games since coming back from the year and a half out of basketball. He scored, somehow, on those drives, poured in 12 points overall, made a 3 and pulled down 9 rebounds and blocked a shot to help the Suns win the game.
If he could make a corner 3 on a regular basis, he'd be a regular on any team in the NBA. The guy just hustles and so far this year it's contagious. Jeff Hornacek is the third coach in 12 months to find it impossible to sit P.J. down. Tucker played 30 minutes and scored 13 points, had 4 rebounds and 3 steals and a block. A typical Tucker game.
If Archie could make his shots and/or start faster, he'd be a rookie of the year candidate. Unfortunately, his shot is really bad - he twists in the air as he rises off the ground - so he's only a threat to drive/dish at this point unless he goes on a hot streak like in summer league. Still, he picked it up and poured in 11 fourth-quarter points on a steal/FB/dunk, drives and putbacks (one monster putback dunk where he rose over everyone - at least 3 other players - to slam home a Suns miss).
If only they could be merged into one, the Suns would be in great shape at center for a decade. Gortat, Plumlee and Len all played well tonight. Gortat had 4 points, 5 rebounds and 5 blocks in only 17 minutes, while Plumlee hustled to 6 and 3 in 22 minutes and Len grabbed 3 rebounds, blocked a shot and had a nice assist in 10 minutes. Plumlee looked every bit as good, to my eyes, as OKC rookie Steven Adams (12th overall this year) right now - both are hustlers who make their gravy on putbacks and hustle. Plumlee had some nice drives in traffic, but missed several shots at the finish. Len plays with an 'athletic stance', meaning he was on the balls of his feet and ready to move all the time. He moves well in every direction, though right now he moves too much (4 fouls in 10 minutes). His arms are so long, he twice grabbed rebounds in traffic just by outreaching everyone. And, he can box out and finish the rebound with TWO HANDS. He got some quality time and showed good flashes of the future as a quality #5 overall pick. His ceiling is higher than Adams, but Adams is more ready to contribute right now.
If he only had size, and a jumper, and ability to score at the rim, and defend... this wasn't Ish's night.
The Morris brothers were hit and miss. While Markieff was good last week against Sacramento, he went 0-5 before getting ejected in the second quarter for a flagrant-2 foul. And while Marcus was terrible last week against Sac, he had 7 points (on 3-8 shooting), 5 rebounds and an assist and steal in 25 minutes. Good but not great.
Hey there Diante! Here's hoping you make the Thunder roster this year, but tonight was not one of your best nights. Garrett had 6 points and 3 assists in 24 minutes, but only shot 2-7 from the field.
That's my recap folks. Read. Digest. Discuss.

Okay, I am working on a card playing program, and I am storing card values as hexadecimal digits. Here is the array:
public int[] originalCards = new int[54]
0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x16, 0x17, 0x18, 0x19, 0x1A, 0x1B, 0x1C, 0x1D,
0x21, 0x22, 0x23, 0x24, 0x25, 0x26, 0x27, 0x28, 0x29, 0x2A, 0x2B, 0x2C, 0x2D,
0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34, 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39, 0x3A, 0x3B, 0x3C, 0x3D,
0x41, 0x42, 0x43, 0x44, 0x45, 0x46, 0x47, 0x48, 0x49, 0x4A, 0x4B, 0x4C, 0x4D,
0x50, 0x51
The first digit refers to the suit (1 = spades; 2 = clubs; .... 5 = Jokers) The second digit is the number of the card (1 = ace, 5 = 5; 13 = K, etc).
I would like to do something like the following:
public int ReturnCard(int num)
int card = currentDeck[num];
int suit = card.firsthexdigit;
int value = card.secondhexdigit;
return 0;
I don't need a new method to work on ints, I just included it for clarity's sake.
Anybody know how to do this in C#?
Edit: Okay, I am using bit shifting as described in one of the answers. I can get the second digit (the suit) just fine, but the first digit keeps coming out as '0'. Any idea why?
Edit:edit: okay, works fine now. Thanks guys.

Hole SN-12-02 (152 metres) and SN-12-03 (122 metres) were each 30 metre easterly stepout holes from SH-11-007. Similar to the 2011 mineralization, drilling encountered a zone of silicification and sulphide bearing epithermal-type quartz stockwork veining in rhyolite tuffs from the surface to a depth of 60 metres. Hole SN-12-04 (236 metres) tested a possible extension of the Tower Zone mineralization 75 metres west of SN-12-07, extending across the Tower Creek valley fault. The hole intersected an extensive silicified zone from surface through the initial 120 metres, interpreted as a possible dilational fluid channelway for mineralization . Several quartz stockwork zones were encountered within the silicified zone and low levels of very fine sulphide mineralization was encountered throughout the hole.

'Workplace wellness' fails bottom line, waistlines
NEW YORK — A long-awaited report on workplace wellness programs, which has still not been publicly released, delivers a blow to the increasingly popular efforts, Reuters has learned, casting doubt on a pillar of the Affordable Care Act and favorite of the business community.
According to a report by researchers at the RAND Corp., programs that try to get employees to become healthier and reduce medical costs have only a modest effect.
RAND delivered the congressionally mandated analysis to the Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services last fall.
The report found, for instance, that people who participate in such programs lose an average of only one pound a year for three years.
In addition, participation "was not associated with significant reductions in total cholesterol level." And while there is some evidence that smoking cessation programs work, they do so only "in the short term."
Most large employers believe the programs improve workers' health and reduce or at least keep the lid on medical spending.
"Companies from the CEO on down feel that these programs are bringing value," said Maria Ghazal, a vice president at the Business Roundtable, the association of chief executives of big companies. "The criticism is surprising, because companies are not hearing that internally."
Some experts not involved with the new report say even the modest benefits RAND found need qualification.
"The strongest predictor of whether someone will lose weight or stop smoking is how motivated they are," said Al Lewis, founder and president of the Disease Management Purchasing Consortium International, which helps self-insured employers and state programs reduce health care costs. "Since the programs are usually voluntary, the most motivated employees sign up. That makes it impossible to credit the programs with success in smoking cessation or weight loss rather than the employees' motivation."
Industry experts noted that whenever researchers analyze hundreds of programs, there are inevitably more effective and less effective ones.
"Traditional workplace wellness barely scratches the surface," said Keith Lemer, president of WellNet, which provides programs to Cumulus Media, Viking Range Corp. and the Charlie Palmer Group of restaurants, among others. "Done right, (the program) requires the integration of clinical data, wellness, health coaching and work flow."
The initiatives succeed if they have "senior- level support and a high-degree of employee engagement in healthy behaviors," he said.
Savings of $2.38 a month
The report's conclusions about the financial benefits of workplace wellness programs are grim. In theory, the programs should reduce medical spending as employees become healthier and thereby avoid expensive conditions such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.
In fact, workers who participated in a wellness program had health care costs averaging $2.38 less per month than non-participants in the first year of the program and $3.46 less in the fifth year. Those modest savings were not statistically significant, meaning they could have been due to chance and not to the program.
More surprisingly, workplace wellness did not catch warning signs of disease or improve health enough to prevent emergencies.
"We do not detect statistically significant decreases in cost and use of emergency department and hospital care" as a result of the programs, RAND found.
The RAND report was mandated by the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law known as Obamacare. Two sources close to the report expected it to be released publicly this past winter. Reuters read the report when it was briefly posted online by RAND on Friday before being taken down because the federal agencies were not ready to release it, said a third source with knowledge of the analysis.
From subsidy to penalty
Starting next year, the health care law allows employers to reward employees who participate in workplace wellness programs with subsidies equal to 30 percent of the cost of insurance premiums, or about $1,620 annually per worker.
If wellness programs do not reduce health care spending, some employees could suffer financially. If an employer is subsidizing employees who use its program but is not reaping lower health care costs, it has three choices. It can absorb the costs, perhaps figuring it helps recruit or retain valued employees. It can raise health care premiums across the board. Or it can raise costs only to workers who do not participate, through higher deductibles or premiums, by at least that $1,620.
Cost-shifting seems especially unfair if wellness programs don't deliver medically or financially, said senior counsel Dania Palanker of the National Women's Law Center, which generally supports the programs. "We've seen plans that appear to cost-shift, with wellness programs rolled out at the same time that premiums or deductibles are increased."

Is strolling my marchie to nap a bad habit?

It is all a matter on what works for your family. If it works for you then it is no problem.
Is this the only way she will nap or fall asleep? Because if she can fall asleep without it I don't see any harm in it if its what you two like to do. If you're having to do it around the house on days you cant get out just to get her to sleep then there may be a problem.

It is really only a problem if this is no longer possible for you to keep up the habit. DS falls asleep in the stroller and car occasionally and if I wasn't working I am sure there would be a lot more naps in the stroller!

According to the EPA, lead poisoning, once a major environmental health hazard, has declined greatly since the 1970s and continues to decrease. However, about 500,000 children under age 5 in the U.S. have elevated levels of lead in their blood.
The Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention states that children with the highest risk of having elevated blood lead levels live in metropolitan areas and in housing built before 1978. Additional risk factors include being from low-income families and being of African-American or Hispanic origin.
Ingesting dust from deteriorating lead-based paint is the most common cause of lead poisoning among children. Other sources of lead poisoning are dust and soil that are contaminated with lead from old paint and from past emissions of leaded gasoline, tap water in homes that have lead pipes, paint, and dust chips from old toys, furniture, and certain hobby materials.
In early 2005, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a new policy addressing lead in children's metal jewelry. There have been cases where children who swallowed or repeatedly sucked on jewelry items containing lead developed high blood lead levels. Since 2004, the Commission has recalled over 150 million pieces of toy jewelry that were sold in vending machines and through other outlets.
The following people are most at risk for lead poisoning:
Children between the ages of 1 and 3
Children in low-income families
Mexican Americans
Persons living in large metropolitan areas
Persons living in older housing
Persons living in housing built before 1978
If not detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can suffer from the following:
