Inspiration: Michael Oher, NFL First Round Draft Pick
Here's more inspiration. Meet Michael Oher, a homeless kid living on the streets who was adopted by a caring family and enrolled in prep-school, then became a college football standout and this weekend the Baltimore Ravens made Michael their first draft round pick:
Like many people, I first learned about Michael Oher during the draft and now I'm really pulling for him. You should too! He's living proof that hard work pays off.

7 dead babies were found in a Pleasant Grove, Utah home on Saturday. A woman has been arrested and charged with 6 counts of murder when the bodies of 7 infants were crammed into individual cardboard boxes, ABC News reported April 13
Megan Huntsman, 39, was arrested Saturday following the grisly discovery in a house she moved out of in 2011. Police responded to a family member's call who is now living at the house. Police said the first baby found appeared to be "full term."
When the family member was cleaning out the garage, a box that looked suspicious was present. It was opened up and an infant was inside it, Capt. Michael Roberts of the Pleasant Grove Police Department said. When authorities got a search warrant, they found the bodies of 6 other babies.
After further investigation, the 7 dead babies found in the home were believed to have been born between 1996 and 2006. It's believed that Huntsman then murdered them.
Salt Lake City Tribune detailed in its April 13 report that Huntsman's ex-husband is the father of the babies found dead, but he hasn't been charged anything. DNA results are pending in the investigation. The ex-husband's parents own the home and his three daughters still live there.
It would be a horrible discovery if there 7 dead babies found in a home. It's hard to fathom what on earth would cause a mother to kill her own children.

Sony Xperia ZU (or Z Ultra) can be operated with a pencil or pen, full specs leaked
Sony's first phablet is in the news yet again today. Earlier we showed you a purported live image of the handset alongside its profile leaked by none other than Sony via an event invite in France. And now we have another couple of shots of the Xperia ZU (or Z Ultra), alongside what is claimed to be a full list of specs.
First off, the phablet may be called Xperia ZU or Xperia Z Ultra, we aren't sure yet. Keep that in mind, while we'll use 'ZU' for now since it's shorter and less convoluted (that said, that 'U' could very well stand for 'Ultra').
The Xperia ZU should come with a 6.44-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen, a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an 8 MP rear camera, a 1.3 MP front camera, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage space, microSD card support, NFC, all the usual connectivity options, and a 3,000 mAh non-removable battery. It will be IP58 certified for dust and water resistance. You can immerse it in up to 1.5 metres of water for up to 30 minutes without a problem.
Despite its size, the Xperia ZU does not come with a built-in stylus. Instead, its touchscreen can be operated with a variety of things, including pencils (see image above), ballpoint pens, capacitive pens, and the likes. Sony will only have two apps dedicated to such methods of input (unlike Samsung with its myriad of different gimmicks), one for note taking and one for drawing. Apparently you'll even be able to put a piece of paper on top of the ZU's screen, then write on that piece of paper – and the touchscreen will still detect what you've written and show it to you (this is exemplified in the image below).
The Sony Xperia ZU should arrive on the market sometime during the third quarter of this year, so between July and September. It will be more expensive than the Xperia Z.

Arkansas Baptists dig out following tornadoes; praise God in the storm
View of photo gallery of damage here.
A NUMBER of Southern Baptist congregations in Mayflower and Vilonia were impacted greatly during April 27 tornadoes and storms that ripped through Arkansas.
Fifteen people are confirmed dead as a result of tornados and storms across Arkansas, according to officials. The National Weather Service estimated the tornadoes had wind speeds of up to 165 mph during its 40-mile path of destruction across Central Arkansas.
An Arkansas Baptist feeding unit capable of producing 10,000 meals a day was deployed to Beryl Baptist Church in Vilonia April 28. The church is located at 873 Main Street in Vilonia. As of Thursday, April 31, the unit from Calvary Baptist Association had prepared and served 4,500 meals.
The Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) is already providing monetary assistance to the pastors who lost their houses, and will be assisting the churches destroyed or damaged with recovery funds, said J.D. "Sonny" Tucker, ABSC executive director.
The Valley church, Vilonia, a Southern Baptist congregation, was completely destroyed by the tornado.
"The tornado took our entire facility. But our people hear me say every week that the Church is not a building." said Rothacher, pastor of The Valley. "The Church is the followers and disciples of Jesus that are chasing God together."
Rothacher said when he heard that a tornado was coming through Vilonia that his first thought was that The Valley would be able to minister to those in the community that would be affected by the storm. When a member of the church who works as a fireman in town called and told him the church's building was destroyed Rothacher was surprised –but not concerned – about the building.
"Pray for Vilonia as a whole. I know some families that are hurting. Obviously we have had several casualties, one is too many but we had more than anyone expected. On top of that I know some families that have lost their house for the second time in three years. This is a very resilient community," said Rothacher.
"Ultimately God is sovereign. He is working behind the scenes for our good. Even in times when we don't see that."
Matt Baxter, who serves as youth leader at The Valley, had his house destroyed by the tornado, as did Shane Cauthen, worship leader, who rented a house in Vilonia.
A portion of the roof at Saltillo Heights Baptist Church in Vilonia was torn off, and the church received other damage to other buildings on the property. Church vans and the pastor's truck were damaged.
Rick Morrow, pastor of Saltillo Heights Baptist Church, relocated to Arkansas about six months ago from the Dallas area.
"Our main damage to our auditorium is the roof. We've got a lot of damage to the front of the church where the baptistery is located, and lot of the metal roof is torn off of it," he said, adding, "the roof off of our nursery area was completely taken away and the whole back wall of the church is basically damaged. I don't know if it is going to be able to be repaired or not.
"It kind of blew it off it's foundation and kicked it out," Morrow said. "It is kind of like it is just leaned up there now. It's the whole back of the main church building."
Additionally, the church's multipurpose building used for basketball, fellowship gatherings and Sunday school was severely damaged.
"Basically, both ends got blew out," he said. "I won't know how bad until the insurance company gets out here. It was hit really bad."
The pastor said a number of members' homes were damaged or destroyed by the tornado. The church parsonage where he lives received roof damage as well.
"It's heart wrenching to see what folks are going through and experiencing now," said Morrow, adding that he and others have attempted to help members of the church "that we could find."
"We are in that stage now that everything is in such a disarray now that folks are just trying to get their roofs and their fences back up to keep their cows in and get the insurance people out," he said.
"People have been so gracious and so generous," said Morrow. "People have been bringing around bottled water and stuff like that that has helped a lot of people out. It's really been a blessing. It's amazing to see people reach out and extend that hand of encouragement."
Morrow added that eight members of the U.S. Air Force stationed at the Jacksonville Airbase came to help out.
"They came out with their chainsaws. They worked in our yard and in our church's yard from early yesterday morning (April 28) until late yesterday evening," the pastor said. "And I mean they worked. There wasn't any sitting around. They were hard-working gentlemen.
"It was a blessing to have our servicemen come."
Morrow said he knows God ultimately has a greater purpose in the tragedy in Vilonia.
"I know He has far greater plans than I can imagine or ever hope for, and that's what I'm trusting in" he said.
"In my finite mind I see all of the loss and the way it has totally uprooted lives," Morrow said. "As far as my wisdom and understanding goes, I couldn't even begin to think about what God is going to do with this, but I know that He is faithful and that He knows. I am just going to lean on that understanding."
Randy Norman, pastor of Life Source Church in Mayflower, rode out the tornado in his home, which also served as the gathering place for his congregation. On the day the Arkansas Baptist News spoke to Norman he was actively searching for a new house to rent.
"'Cried out to God' takes on a whole new perspective and meaning after coming like this," said Norman, adding that he, his wife, Veronica, and son, Riley, huddled in a bathroom covered by a bed mattress as the storm ravaged his house.
"I've always wondered ... people say they believe in God, but do they really? I ask, 'What would they do when put to the test?'" said the pastor, adding that LifeSource church moved from Jacksonville in an effort to reach unreached people with gospel and that he is convinced more than ever that it was the right thing to do.
"In the middle of that storm God showed me that He was with me," said Norman. "I know He is with me and my faith is stronger than I thought it was."
He added, "(It's) making me more resolute in my call."
The house of Wade Lentz, pastor of Beryl Baptist Church in Vilonia, was completely destroyed in this year's tornado after being damaged heavily in the 2011 tornado that hit the area. Lentz has only been pastor of the church for about six months.
Lentz told media at the scene that after hearing warnings of the upcoming storm, he was at first complacent that the Vilonia area could be hit twice in three years.
His wife, Amanda, convinced him otherwise and they left for his parent's house before the tornado swept the Lentz house off of its foundation.
"We lived through this once before, and it was the same roar then," Lentz told NBC News. "We went back to check out my house and I saw right away that we didn't have a house."
The pastor's Chevy Silverado was turned upside down on its roof, as was the family's Toyota Corolla. Like the Lentz house, both cars were completely destroyed.
"We don't understand why the Lord has allowed us to go through this again, but I also know that our God does not make any mistakes," Lentz told NBC News.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of Arkansas and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding.
Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
In addition to the feeding unit from Calvary Baptist Association preparing meals in Vilonia, a Geyer Springs First Baptist Church shower unit is located in Vilonia, along with chainsaw crews from Union Valley Baptist Church, Beebe the Arkansas Valley Baptist Association and the Bartholomew Baptist Association. Chainsaw crews from Faulkner Baptist Association, Balboa Baptist Church, Hot Springs Village, Central Baptist Association and the Arkansas River Valley Baptist Association are serving in Mayflower. Another chainsaw team from The Church at Rock Creek is serving in west Little Rock.
Arkansans seeking to assist with recovery efforts may make donations to the ABSC disaster relief fund by visiting www.absc.org and clicking on the "Donate Now" button. Donations will go directly to the recovery efforts and victims affected by the storms.
ABSC leaders are partnering with Arkansans to collect "Buckets of Love," consisting of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected items, for distribution to victims of the tornadoes. Those wishing to contribute to Buckets of Love may visit the ABSC Web site at www.absc.org and click on the "Buckets of Love" button, for more information. The collection point is at Central Baptist Church, Conway, and will continue until Friday, May 2.
Compiled by the ABN staff and additional media reports.

by Oscar from Margate, Florida, Palm Beach County
Suspension of License for failure to pay the court ordered amount of child support. I was hurt in an accident in December 2009 and have been unable to work. As a result, I cannot pay the court-ordered amount of child support.
Although I pay what I can each month I have been issued a letter stating my license will be suspended in July for failure to pay.
I am a truck driver by profession and recently have been unable to obtain employment in this field due to previous suspensions.
My fear is that I will be denied future employment if my license is suspended this month. What can I do if I cannot get work because my license is suspended, but cannot pay the full amount because I am unemployed?

According to Tuesday's press release from the Baltimore County, Md., Police Department, an 82-year-old man is facing charges for killing his wife and dog.
Authorities were called to the home of Glen Henry Treslar, on the 16500 block of Garfield Avenue, on Monday afternoon - a friend of the couple had expressed concern and a welfare check was requested.
Responding officers encountered Treslar, who told them that he had killed his wife, 78-year-old Yvonne Treslar.
Mrs. Treslar's body was discovered in a bedroom - she had been shot multiple times. The couple's dog had also been shot and killed in the kitchen.
The couple apparently had argued earlier in the day; Treslar did not try to explain why he had decided to kill the family dog as well.
Treslar is being held, without bail, at the Baltimore County Detention Center on a charge of first-degree murder.

Federal authorities seize property from Elkhart business
Federal agents were spotted Friday morning loading the boxes onto a U-Haul truck at Paragon Technology Group.
Agents with the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspector Police and Indiana State Police seized boxes from an Elkhart business Friday, May 9, as part of an ongoing investigation.
Investigators could be seen loading the boxes onto a U-Haul truck at Paragon Technology Group at the northwest corner of C.R. 6 and Dexter Drive across from Elkhart Municipal Airport.
"I can confirm the FBI and Indiana State Police were at that business conducting investigative activity," FBI spokesman Dave Crawford said. "I can't discuss the nature of the investigation."
Repeated phone calls to the company went unanswered Friday.
Paragon Technology Group LLC lists Roger Roy as its registered agent in a filing made in November with the Indiana Secretary of State. Attempts to locate Roy on Friday were unsuccessful.

This was a lot of fun and I was excited to try this on my cast iron pan. I added green beans to the vegetables and it worked beautifully. The capers really make this dish pop! I used dry herbs so they couldn't be removed like the instructions suggest, but it tasted great leaving them in!
WARNING! I'm a little new to cast iron cooking and I didn't realize that acid and cast iron do not mix. The wine in this dish stripped my seasoning off the pan and when I went to clean it after the meal it smelled metallic and my seasoning came off when I wiped it out! I had to re-season it! I don't think it's ruined, but I haven't cooked again with it yet. It doesn't smell now that I've re-oiled and baked it. But I want to warn everyone away from using a cast iron pan like they tell you to! It will destroy your pan's seasoning! There's no reason this meal won't work in another pan!

Ten Refugees, One Journey: Trinh Doan
Trinh Doan (Photo: Jim Gaffey)
After Trinh Doan's home city of Da Nang fell to the North Vietnamese in 1975, her father – a university professor – was sentenced to indefinite house arrest.
Four years later, her family made a two-week voyage in a wooden boat, 550 miles across the South China Sea to Hong Kong. They got help there from the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and two years later an IRC representative met their plane on a chilly October day in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Doan graduated from Georgetown University, received an MBA from the Wharton School, and is now a Managing Director with Bank of America. She is a member of the IRC Board of Directors and serves on its Nominating and Governance Committee. (November 2010)

PBF version 1.1, a PBF conformance file, and changes to Osmosis's PBF support
Scott Crosby <scott@...>
I am releasing version 1.1 and have just pushed several changes to osmosis trunk. These changes don't effect the format, but may require minor changes to software that uses the *.proto definitions. Although it has been in trunk for a while, this is the first release where the generated C/C++ protobuf code is in package OSMPBF. I am renaming from 'osmbin.jar' to 'osmpbf.jar'. I am licensing the osmpbf source code under the LGPL. As previously discussed, I am removing bzip2 compression and marking lzma compression as a proposed extension, this may require minor changes to existing software. I am renaming the protocol buffer fileformat.BlockHeader to fileformat.BlobHeader (It has a name confusingly similar to osmformat.HeaderBlock.). Software will have to be patched to compile against the new name for this object. I have a conformance file. This file exercises all of the features required to decode the geographic data in PBF files, including offset and granularity. Note that this test is not exhaustive, in particular, it does not currently test the metadata storage (timestamps, version numbers, changeset numbers, etc.) of the PBF format. It is located at the main PBF repository (https://github.com/scrosby/OSM-binary). As it is still a work in progress, invoke crosby.binary.test.BuildTestFile to generate the PBF testfiles.

Skadarlija Street
Skadarlija Street © Zoran Životiæ
Skadarlija Street is the Belgrade's equivalent of Paris' famous Bohemian Montmarte neighbourhood, and one of the most popular places to visit for tourists in Belgrade. Lined with restaurants and pubs, their tables and festivity spilling onto the pavements, it is a colourful spot to soak up the traditional Serbian scene, with strolling gypsy musicians mingling with artists and local revellers. It is the venue to sample the local specialities, washed down with beer and good conversation, perhaps pick up some souvenirs, art and antiques and promenade along the cobbled pedestrianised precinct.

The original launch schedule for Dragon: Age Inquisition would have seen the next installment of Bioware's release in the fall of 2013. However, the game was delayed one full year and the developer is now speaking out about what features to the game are being added as a result of the extra time they have been given to improved the title. Bioware's Allan Schumacher revealed on the developer's forums on May 12 that the ability to be able to select between four different playable races is a direct result of the delay.
Before the decision was made to delay the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition until later this year, Schumacher confirmed that the third entry of the fantasy-themed series was only going to allow gamers to play as a human protagonist. The extra year of development gave Bioware the opportunity to add the option for fans to once again choose between a variety of different fantasy races.
This is a good example of fans receiving a better product as the result of a delay. While many gamers may find the wait inconvenient, they will end up getting an improved product in the end. Just like Dragon Age: Inquisition was initially going to feature, Dragon Age II also only let gamers take on the role of a human character despite the fact that that the franchise's first installment included multiple playable races. Thanks to the delay, however, the ability to decide the race of the main character returns to the series as Schumacher revealed with the following statement.
The races came in as a result of the time extension. For the vast bulk of the discussion regarding races, human was the only one and was so until we learned we were getting another year on the game.
In addition to being able to choose between four different races, fans will also be able to select the protagonist's class and gender in Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game is scheduled to launch on Oct 7 for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3

Charge off loan, still want intrest
Posted 19 November 2012 - 09:07 PM
Please let us know if this is legal and if we need to consult a lawyer. Thank you.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 12:07 AM
Bottom line, you owe the interest.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:06 AM
In 2010 I filed for chapter 13 which later converted to chapter 7 (resident of California). I had a car loan with my Credit Union which I reaffirmed/continued to pay
Which is it, reaffirmed or continued to pay? They are two completely different concepts. Reaffirmation generally has to be approved by the bankruptcy trustee. Continue to pay is not necessarily reaffirmation. The two might have different consequences.
My understanding is that if the loan was charged off, the credit union cannot charge you for interest.
Have no idea where you got that "understanding" but it's wrong.
All my payment receipts for the last 2 years show that all of the money we paid each month went to principal only, no interest is shown on any of the receipts
You mean you actually got a receipt back from the lender that had "principal only" written on it?
If interest was due, why wouldn't the break down be shown on the receipt(ex: $300.00 payment, $30.00 interest and $270.00 principal)?
Because it's not required that it be shown.
Apparently you erroneously believed that all of your payments were being applied to fully amortize the loan. Should be easy enough to figure out with the following amortization calculator. Put in the amount you owed after your bankruptcy when you first started to continue to make payments, put in the interest rate, put in the amount you paid per month, and the number of payments in a year. That'll give you a schedule of how the principal and interest should have been allocated and the balance you would owe today.
My understanding is that when a credit union "charges off" a loan, they are covered by insurance for the "loss", and therefore would not ask for interest.
Yeah, that's also wrong.
Bottom line, you don't need a lawyer, you just need to pay the balance due.
Besides, a lawyer would cost you a lot more than what's owed.
Warning: Legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here are simplified and might not fully explain the ramifications of your particular issue. I am not a lawyer. I do not give legal advice. I make comments based on my knowledge and experience. I guarantee nothing. If you act on my comments without the advice of an attorney, you do so at your own risk.

Minimalism and psychedelia
I'm rereading all my progressive rock books for my music project. This, from Ed Macan's Rocking the Classics, strikes me as a strange thing to say: "…the greatest achievement of the minimalists was to create structural approaches that successfully capture psychedelia's acid-induced sense of timelessness." The annotation doesn't really help either:
The West Coast minimalists—particularly Riley and LaMonte Young—came out of the same general cultural scene as did the Grateful Dead and other Bay Area psychedelic bands, although the composers were a few years older than the band members.
All things considered, the original statement still seems to me to imply that psychedelic rock was somehow a standard for, and therefore a higher art than, minimalism. Probably that isn't what Macan meant, but that's what I get from it. This would kind of go along with Macan's obsession with the effect of drugs on, well, everything (my only real complaint with the book, probably - although I can't say that he's downright wrong, I do think he overemphasizes it to some extent).

Maia: The best you never heard of
Story by Anthony Springer Jr
Demian Maia is quite possibly the best middleweight you've never heard of.
Boasting and impressive 10-0 record, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert has earned a reputation in the Octagon for turning his adversaries into human pretzels. Maia made his UFC debut at UFC 77: Hostile Territory, submitting Ryan Jensen via rear naked choke in the first round. Ed Herman and Jason MacDonald became Maia's next victims, falling to a triangle choke and a rear naked choke respectively. The three submissions cemented Maia's place in the UFC history books as he became the first fighter to garner three "Submission of the Night" honors in a row.
Maia's big break came late last year at UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar. Originally dubbed as the biggest UFC card in history, Maia came through in a major way, extending his Octagon winning streak to four fights, submitting Nate Quarry at 2:13 in the opening round.
For a guy who makes a living beating people up and—as of late—choking them out, Maia takes a humane approach to fighting and finishing opponents. According to his UFC page, Maia says his favorite technique is to "submit my opponent without him hurting me or me hurting him." It's the philosophy of Brazilian jiu-jitsu he explained to MMA Fanhouse recently. "You control your opponent. You put him down. You get the submission. But you're not going to hurt your opponent, you give him the decision to say he wants to stop. I think it's a nicer way to win than a knockout."
To date, none of Maia's victories have come from strikes and his jiu-jitsu and grappling accomplishments all but ensure that Maia may not have to knock out an opponent for a long time to come. In 2007, Maia took top honors at the highly touted Abu Dhabi Combat Club submission wrestling tournament. He placed second at the tournament in 2005 and is also the owner of several Jiu-Jitsu world championships. With a decorated record on the mat before entering the Octagon, it's no wonder that Maia is looking to ride his skills to a middleweight championship.
"I believe my Jiu-Jitsu can make me a champion," he told Fight Hype earlier this month.
After his November victory over Nate Quarry, many in the press believed Maia would get a crack at the man many believe to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world: Anderson "The Spider" Silva. However, despite stellar performances in the Octagon, UFC president Dana White ultimately gave the next title shot to Thales Leites and offered Maia a fight against Team Quest member Chael Sonnen this Saturday at UFC 95.
"Joe Silva and I were talking about it, and we're making some moves right now in the 185-pound division. We're thinking about [Maia]. We think very highly of him," White said at the UFC 91 post fight press conference.
"I would like to see Demian fight a couple more fights before he fights Anderson Silva," White later added.
In Sonnen, Maia will encounter a talented wrestler who can go the distance or finish a fight by pounding out an opponent. "He's maybe the toughest that I've fought against," Maia said of Sonnen. "He's a very good wrestler that works on points very well. When he thinks he can win by points, he does. He's a very good fighter."
While Maia is quick to praise Sonnen, there is one glaring weakness in the wrestler's game that Maia may attempt to exploit. Six of Sonnen's nine professional losses have come by submission, which plays right in the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner's hands.
"I think I can get him to make a mistake," Maia added.

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The Tulane track and field team set two school records and posted an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Outdoor Championships Saturday at the Jace Lacoste Invitational.
Senior Hanne Lyngstad qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the third consecutive season by winning the women's 1,500-meter race with a time of 4:17.85. The time was an NCAA automatic qualifier and the second-fastest time in Tulane school history.
Junior Nathan Junius broke a 61-year-old school record in winning the men's discus. Junius recorded a mark of 160 feet (48.76 meters) to break the former record by one inch. Millard White originally set the record of 159 feet, 11 inches back in 1939.
Junior Rebecca Murphy also set a school record in winning the women's 200 meters. Murphy posted a time of 23.82 seconds, which topped the record she set in this event last year.
Also performing well for the Green Wave men was field performer Renzi Sandras, who won two events and set personal bests in three. Sandras won the shot put with a mark of 48 feet, 10 inches, won the javelin with a mark of 184 feet, two inches, and finished third in the discus with a mark of 138 feet. All three marks were personal bests for the freshman from Cutoff, La.
Senior Justin Robinson also posted a season best in winning the men's 400 meters with a time of 47.74. The Wave also swept the hurdle events and both relays, including a season-best time of 40.92 seconds in the 4x100-meter relay.
Other Green Wave women of note included Catherine Betz, who won the javelin with a mark of 157 feet, 8 inches and Brittany Hurst, who won the high jump with a mark of 5 feet, 4 inches.
The Tulane track and field team will next be in action on April 27-29 at the Penn Relay
Carnival in Philadelphia, Pa.

GM Recall Compensation Plan Sees Payouts From $20,000 to Millions
Compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg says he's ready to "rip up" and redo out of court settlements General Motors Co. made with victims of accidents involving cars with defective ignition switches as part of a broad settlement plan he unveiled Monday in Washington.
Under the program, Mr. Feinberg will provide compensation checks ranging from $20,000 to several million dollars to any driver, passenger, pedestrian or occupant of another vehicle who can show they were hurt in a crash involving one of 2.6 million cars GM has recalled after admitting they were equipped with faulty ignition switches.
The program has no overall limit, but a key condition is that the claimants show the vehicle's air bags didn't deploy in the crash, he said.
"If an air bag deployed, you're out," Mr. Feinberg said.
Any out-of-court death settlements connected to ignition switch litigation can be refiled, Mr. Feinberg said. If a new amount is applied, the money already paid out will be deducted from the total and a check cut to cover the remainder. Lawyers for some crash victims who settled with GM before it admitted to the ignition switch defects in February have sought to reopen those agreements on grounds that the auto maker improperly concealed information about the problem, which could cut power to air bags, power steering and power brakes.
GM has agreed to pay as many eligible claims that exist. Mr. Feinberg said GM has collected evidence of 3,500 death and injury claims but those claims have yet to be vetted to see if they meet the requirements for the compensation plan.
"GM is saying this is an opened-ended program," Mr. Feinberg said in an interview. "This is important because I don't want a claimant to think he or she is getting less because there is a limited pie of money. GM will pay as we go. There is no cap on the aggregate amount of money."
Mr. Feinberg declined to say how much GM could pay out in total and how many people he thinks have been hurt or killed. GM currently claims 13 people have died.
Accidents occurring before or after GM's June 2009 bankruptcy are eligible while the contributory negligence of the driver—an individual who was intoxicated or texting during the time of the accident is irrelevant.
"This is all about getting money out the door," Mr. Feinberg said. "This program is rough justice, but I think it will work because it is voluntary, and the only real test of whether a program like this will work is how quickly you can deliver compensation to victims. The longer you hold up delivery of compensation, the more skeptical, angry and frustrated they become."
The compensation program is limited to the 10 models GM has identified as being equipped with a faulty ignition switch. That includes the Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Ion and other older models.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Perhaps "modern day vampires" is being a bit dramatic but with all the recent frenzy of vampire movies and tv shows, it's almost impossible to not put a sexy spin on it. As Webster's Dictionary (online) defines phlebotomy as "the letting of blood for transfusion, apheresis, diagnostic testing, or experimental procedures and widely used in the past to treat many types of disease but now limited to the treatment of only a few specific conditions" one might ask why so many people are now being trained in this field.
First, a little history on phlebotomy. Commonly known as "blood-letting," ancient physicians trusted this remedy as a cure for a variety of illnesses. Sometimes it would bring relief, if a person had high blood pressure, for example, but oftentimes it left the patient weak and would occasionally even cause death.
Physicians weren't the only people who were employed as blood-letters, however. Many times the local barber was called in to help. This is where the red and white stripes from a barber pole come from. The red indicates the blood and the white stripe is to symbolize the white tourniquet that kept the bleeding under control.
Much training goes into becoming a certified modern day phlebotomist. Not only is there considerable classroom instruction but a trainee must obtain hands-on experience by practicing under close supervision. The needlestick and blood draw aren't the only factors in becoming a great phlebotomist though. Individuals with this responsibility must also be able to build rapport quickly with patients, adhere to safety standards, be able to insert the needle quickly and accurately, and also maintain patient records with great detail.
Recently I had the opportunity to talk to young up-and-coming phlebotomist, Flor Flores.
What made you want to become a phlebotomist?
Once I enrolled in college to study to become a Medical Assistant I knew it was part of the curriculum. Even though I was a little afraid of it, I decided it was something I could see myself doing in the future. Now that I've finished my schooling, I'm proud to know my phlebotomy skills can be applied to any future career in the medical field.
What was your training like?
Training was a lot of fun! When training started it was awesome because it was an all-girl class. That made us more comfortable working with each other. At the same time, I felt a little scared just from knowing that if I do something wrong it could hurt the person I'm drawing blood from.
What was the hardest part for you?
I would have to say the hardest part is dealing with people who are terrified of needles or blood. You don't always know what to expect from them when you are about to stick them so, in turn, that can make you nervous.
How do you deal with difficult patients or children who are afraid of needles?
I've learned that when dealing with difficult patients or scared children, as the phlebotomist you have to remain calm and adhere to the policies of your agency. For example, some sites prefer that you don't have the parents in the room with the children while others do.
Where do you see your career going as a phlebotomist? Is this your dream job?
Frankly, I don't yet know what my dream job is. I am trying to decide whether or not to stick to the promising field of healthcare or go back to college. If I do stay in the healthcare arena, I feel sure phlebotomy will be an important part of my career.
If you are a medical assistant or phlebotomist looking for a change of scenery, try some of these open positions:
* Phlebotomist - Mobile (Schryver Medical)
* Phlebotomy Services Rep - Quest Diagnostics
Team Edward (from the Twilight saga) has nothing on these trained professionals!

Mountain huts in Sloveniaby David Robertson ~ 21-Oct-2009 ~ updated 24-Nov-2009
There are over 170 mountain huts (dom or koča), shelters and bivouacs in Slovenia, operated by 94 mountain clubs, under the umbrella organisation of the Planinske zveze Slovenije (PZS) or Alpine Association of Slovenia. Whilst the shelters and bivouacs have no provisions, the mountain huts cater for all needs of the walker and mountaineer, a roof over their heads, a bed, drink and food (a dom is usually larger than a koča with more beds). Some of the huts are found in the valleys at road-heads and on the slower slopes but there are many at higher altitudes in the mountains. Rarely are huts more than five hours apart which means some fantastic high-level routes are possible. It is worth pointing out here that wild camping is not permitted in Slovenia. We spent 12 days in the Julian Alps in September of 2009 – there is an account of our hut-to-hut walk in Slovenia here.
Some huts are open all year but the higher ones generally open in early June and close near the end of September. In July and August the huts will be busy and we advise booking ahead. In June and September it is quieter but we still recommend booking your Saturday night beds. It may sound obvious but check that your chosen hut is open before you set off! Although closed in winter some huts have "winter rooms" where you will find a bed and blankets. Here is a list of all the huts in Slovenia.
Huts are graded into three categories. The actual classification is a bit complicated but generally Grade 1 are at high altitude, Grade 2 huts are lower and more easily accessible and Grade 3 are lowland valley huts.
Accommodation at the huts can be in simple rooms or, more cheaply, in a dormitory. The beds were always comfortable with clean sheets and enough blankets. We found that the extra expense of a room was rewarded by having some personal space and a good nights sleep! Take some earplugs if you think you might be sleeping in a dormitory – its guaranteed that at least one person will be snoring!
Prices for overnight accommodation are set by the PZS and are based on the hut grade. The 2009 prices were as follows –
- Grade 1, room with 1-4 beds – 27Eur
- Grade 1, room with 5+ beds – 20Eur
- Grade 1, dormitory bed – 18Eur
- Grade 2, room with 1-4 beds – 20Eur
- Grade 2, room with 5+ beds – 16Eur
- Grade 2, dormitory bed – 12Eur
Money saving tip. We managed to save a lot by joining the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) and obtaining an Alpine Club Reciprocal Rights Card (make sure that you choose to become an Aspirant member of the Alpine Club). This card, when presented at registration at the hut entitles you to half price accommodation. Whether the card is worth paying for depends on how many nights you plan to stay in the huts – the card costs £40 (2009) for each person and then there is your club membership to consider.
Recommended kit on a hut-to-hut walk. In addition to the usual necessary walking equipment only a little extra is needed in order to stay in the huts. Just the basics are needed in the washing department as explained below. A spare set of clothes to wear in the evening and a torch is advisable for use in the dormitories at night, but you will have one in your pack anyway.
Hut food is basic but wholesome, mostly thick soups, eggs, ham and sausage and delicious home made bread. Our favourite evening meal was ričet a delicious, spicy barley porridge, available with or without meat (brez mesa), and bread. For dessert it was a difficult choice between apple strudel and pancakes with jam! In the busier times the menu is more varied, the choice becoming more limited nearer the end of the season. There is always plenty of beer, spirits and bottled water to be purchased but we found that the most refreshing beverage is čaj, (aka "a nice cup of tea"). We had noticed that the flavour is slightly different at every hut and we were told it was because it is made from the petals of the wild flowers gathered at each location. Chocolate and biscuits are usually available too.
As many of the huts can only be serviced by helicopter, food is relatively expensive but prices for stews, tea and water are set by the PZS. For other beverages and meals the huts are free to set their own prices. To help you budget here are some example 2009 prices from Grade 1 huts –
- A breakfast of two fried eggs, one slice of bread and a cup of tea was 5.30Eur
- A cup of tea was 1.80Eur
- An evening meal of ričet (without meat) and one slice of bread was 5.40Eur; desserts varied between 1.70 and 3Eur.
Food in Grade 2 huts is approximately 20% less. It may not be cheap but when you consider how the huts have to be supplied we think the prices are very reasonable.
Eating your own food in the huts is allowed but you cannot cook.
Do also remember that all money transactions will be in cash, so take plenty of Euros.
We found the huts to be warm and comfortable. There will be somewhere to dry your clothes and a pair of slippers is provided. Washing facilities vary! Do not expect a shower (although we are told that some do exist, we have yet to find one), at best you may have a communal sink with cold water for hand/face wahing and teeth cleaning. Toilet facilities are sometimes basic but usually clean.
The above information is based on our experiences and the PZS website (link above). Unfortunately, the PZS do not provide an English translation but we use the Google Translator found on the Google Toolbar which can be used in IE or Firefox. It is not perfect but you can get the gist!
Many of the walks in our book could easily be extended by using the huts for an overnight stay. For instance, with Walk 21 to the Triglav Lakes Valley, spending the night at Koča pri Triglavskih Jezerih means that you could explore further up the valley or perhaps climb a nearby peak. As another example, Walk 19 could be made a lot easier with an overnight stay at Dom Zorka Jelinčica on Črna prst. Get out your maps, the possibilities are endless really!

Thanks for all the great info! Do you know how to book one of the mountain huts?
Hi, great site.
With the reciprocal rights card, can you remember if the discount applies to food as well? Also, would every person traveling need their own card to get the discount or will card cover the group?
Thanks David, all helps with the planning

Reading Newspapers and Magazines on Your iPad
Reading newspapers and magazines on the iPad is not like reading newspapers and magazines in any other electronic form. The experience is really slick, but only you can decide whether it's worth paying the tab (in the cases where you do have to pay).
There are two paths you might follow to subscribe to or read a single issue of a newspaper or magazine. The first path includes several fine publishing apps worth checking out, including USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal, TIME magazine, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Reuters News Pro, BBC News, Vanity Fair, and Popular Science.
You also can fetch the free Zinio app, which offers more than 5,000 digital publications including Rolling Stone, The Economist, Macworld, PC World, Car and Driver, Maxim, National Geographic Interactive, Spin, Bloomberg Businessweek, and many more. You can buy single issues of a magazine or subscribe, and you can sample and share some articles without a subscription.
In some cases, you have to pay handsomely or subscribe to some of these newspapers and magazines, which you find not in the iBooks Store but in the regular App Store. You also see ads (somebody has to pay the freight).
The second path, Newsstand, was new in iOS 5. This handy icon on your Home screen purports to gather all your newspaper and magazine subscriptions in a single place. Newsstand is actually a special type of folder rather than an app.
You purchase subscriptions in a section of the App Store, which you can also get to by tapping Newsstand on your Home screen and then tapping the Store button, which opens the App Store to the new Subscriptions section.
Numerous publications have adopted the Newsstand paradigm, though some choose custom apps or Zinio, and many do both.

Could it be that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially back together? After hanging out on segways last week in Los Angeles, Bieber posted a photo of the pair cuddling over the weekend. And that buzzy snap has many fans wondering if the stars are dating again.
He shared the photo with his millions of Beliebers on Saturday, one day after posting a photo of himself in the studio with Kid Cudi. The intimate shot with Selena was captioned "Love the way you look at me." Since posting it, the photo has gained 1.48 million likes, as of press time.
While some fans weren't too pleased to see that Justin might be off the market again, and others had conspiracy theories that the pic was Photoshopped, a majority of fans left positive comments about it on Instagram. hii_signe wrote, "Awe, been waiting for you guys to get back together :')"
lizzayy_heree156 added, "YOU GUYS ARE SO F—ING CUTE TOGETHER."
On MTV News, a whopping of 47.08% of readers voted in favor of the rumored Jelena reunion, which comes after the pair broke up in November 2012 and had an on-again, off-again relationship in 2013. One MTV News reader, Roxnoboa commented, "There is no need to be cynical. When you have truly been in love, you don't judge others. Get a grip."
On Twitter, fans flooded the social networking site to show their support for Justin and Selena, even though neither star has confirmed that they are back together. @SoldierKidrauhl wrote, "for those of you who don't understand, when Justin dates Selena he becomes a different person…"

Bieber shared with Power 106 in Los Angeles last month that he hoped he and the singer/actress could be friends again after their very public breakup. Until they say anything official, for now fans just seem to want to see what happens next with the pair.
@kidrxuhldrew said, "Im glad Justin's not bothered what we think about his relationship with Selena,he shouldn't have to listen to our opinions tbh."

Bear Mountain are a four piece working double duty, as each member had a Korg, Akai, or Macbook on their plate alongside their primary instrument. Singer Ian Bevis wailed in a high-pitch range and slapped his bass, coming off like a side project of Aaron Neville and Grizzly Bear. Right away, you could tell that they could take off with a few spins on XMU but maybe were not getting the reaction that wanted from Santa Ana. With a vocal style so distinct and prevalent, they immediately turned away half the crowd, but the quick bass and poppy guitar kept the heads bobbing. Anyone lost seemed to hop back on board during their solid cover and update to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," feeding into the Tears for Fears comparison even harder.
The man in the back in charge of some of the computer portions, Kenji Rodriguez, played a flaming red keytar with a straighter face than the instrument deserves. Drummer Greg Bevis gripped his Vic Firth sticks firmly while rolling his snare and beating his Roland while guitarist Kyle Statham strummed his gorgeous black Fender. The band used their extremely small space well, dancing and jumping more than most dare attempt on the diminutive playing space. The crowd took awhile to turn toward the jump up and down crows the band was looking for, but Tuesday night shows in the small room are as tough as they come. The last two-thirds of the set blended into one another, leaving little time for the feeling to fade.
The track "Two Step" was probably their strongest, maybe because it didn't have the jarring vocals mingling with the syncopated audio. They are dubbed as an electronic dance band on the Internet, but it didn't come across that way until this track. They did their best to warm up a pretty stiff crowd and definitely ended better than they started.
Nick Thornburn has the type of fiery individualism that moves his band forward, not unlike a Trent Reznor. He is the heart and soul of the band, moving the pieces around as he sees fit to mold his live performance and studio needs. You can hear this in his albums, see this in his rotating touring lineup, and feel it in his stage presence. He teeters on the side of embodying the rock and roll struggle of a singer-songwriter one moment while acting a fool and playing with a photographers camera the next. In the live arena, the excitement lies in never quite guessing what the next move will be or if the next piece of banter will be funny or mean. But when the music kicks on and his heartfelt lyrics are on display, there are few more genuinely funny, pensive, and accurate as Thorburn.
The Gordon Brothers (Evan on guitar/keys and Geordie on bass/keys) don blue button-up shirts, rolled-up long sleeves, blue jeans and a brown belt motif, with one going slick back on the hair and the letting the curls run wild. The neo-honky tonk vibe fits well in Thorburn's anachronistic musical world, where whatever works works, conventions be damned. They stand at each side of the stage like an angel and devil in this musical trip, playing the string sections needed when Thorburn grabs the microphone and serenades the crowd. Drummer Adam Halferty is new to the crew, but kept up nicely, especially on faster tempo tracks like "Hallways" that take some considerable skill in keeping the frantic timing. He sits so high on his kit, his waist well above the cymbals, giving him a ton of velocity with which to crash down upon his drums. Drinking a a couple bottles of Stone IPA during the set is definitely the way to get in the groove of the set and his stick work was solid all night.
The band he has assembled is more than flattering for his message, they are stellar, especially Evan Gordon on the keys and guitar. His ivory skills are killer and added way more than just layered context to both newer and older tunes. The brothers even switched for the last few songs, with Geordie showing off some of his guitar skills.
The set opened with "Wave Forms," the same way Ski Mask does. The majority of the set was the majority of the new album, but the older tracks thrown in were fairly surprising, including the guitar opus and opening track "Swans" from their debut album dubbed Return to the Sea. The band effortlessly switched tempos between the softer side of Islands and the more upbeat, including a vulnerable version of "Tender Torture," a beautiful love song off of Vapours.
This must have been an odd set for the band to play: nearly 70 minutes of new and old material to a crowd of maybe 300 mellow people. They are playing the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock tonight and that's one show that the band has been actively hyping, so last night's Observatory show felt more like a warm-up than it should. These guys have played festivals and Thorburn has fronted half a dozen bands by this point, playing just about every corner of the both America and Canada, so a stop in Santa Ana for a young crowd probably didn't register too high on the important scale. That said, the show was still stellar for any Islands fan in attendance and the crowd left fulfilled, hearing a great mix of music faithfully reproduced and infused with Thorburn's subdued yet eccentric personality. He tends to dismiss his prior work and focus on whatever new material he has out, so hopefully the motivation will continue to write and record for many more years, as his style and sense of poetry is unlike anything else in modern music.
