Consumers' Changing Banking Habits Led To 1,400 Bank Of America Branches Shuttering, More Cuts To Come
Over the past several years, Bank of America has revamped the way it provides banking services in an effort to cut costs and respond to consumers' changing banking habits. Those operation modifications have not only included shutting down some drive-thru windows, but the closure of nearly a fifth of the company's branches. [More]

A Whole New Meaning To Mobile Banking: T-Mobile Announces Money Management Service

Is A "Cardless" ATM Any Better Or Faster Than What We're Used To?
The idea sounds kind of neat — you go into an app on your smartphone, pre-order the amount of cash you'll want to pick up from the ATM at a later point, then it's waiting for you when you arrive. So-called cardless ATMs are being tested and some are touting the technology as the future of banking, but is it really that much of an improvement over the current system? [More]
Capital One Android App Traps My Phone In Infinite Updateless Loop
David's Android smartphone, a Galaxy S, is still working just fine. It just has one problem: he can't upgrade it to a newer version of the Android operating system. He's stuck on 2.2. So what? It doesn't affect him all that much except for how his bank's app requires a newer version of Android than that. His phone gets stuck in a loop of being unable to update. [More]
Bank Of America Mobile App Says Money Orders Are Allowed, Rejects My Money Order Deposit
Before snapping photos of her money order with Bank of America's mobile deposit app, April took the time to make sure that money orders were permitted. She lives 200 miles away from the nearest Bank of America (yes, there is such a place in this country) and can't go to a branch or ATM to deposit it. The app's "help" section said that money orders are totally allowed, so she went ahead with the deposit. They rejected it, and customer service told her that money orders can't be deposited with the mobile app. Well, fine. Maybe she'll just go ahead and deposit that money order at a bank that's local to her. [More]
Don't Send Your Third Party Checks To Schwab Bank
Overall, customers seem pretty happy with checking accounts from Charles Schwab Bank: especially the part where you can deposit checks by mobile phone and have your ATM fees refunded. Dan came across a situation where online-only banking is not superior, though: when you need to deposit a third-party check. That is, a check made out to someone else, but endorsed over to the account holder. [More]

You're probably referring to the various myFICO forums as a whole. But just in case you meant the Understanding FICO Scoring forum, I have noticed a steady stream of people here requesting feedback on specific needs of urgent character, generally about moving from the mid or low 600s to something like 680 or 700. For some reason they are attracted to this forum rather than other of the perhaps more suitable myFICO forums such as Rebuilding Your Credit and Mortgage Loans. Maybe it's because their minds have zoomed in on the word score, and the title of this forum includes that. I'd be interested in finding out why the new of these posters come to this particular forum. Certainly understanding FICO scoring is more along the lines of asking for a bank loan when you don't need it.
No, I was referring to your advice to OP. I spent a lot of time in the Understanding when I first found the forum and was working my A off to get the house. I wanted to know How things worked and why and when and where, so I could do whatever I had to do. Ultimately, it worked for me, and I am grateful. I did NOT practice healthy finances, and just threw bills in the backseat, unopened, until they turned into a mountain, at which time they would get thrown out. So I relate a lot to OP's initial question. it has nothing to do with "zooming in" to the word FICO, it's the word Understanding. Certainly Undertanding FICO Scoring has everything to do with asking the bank for a loan, when I DID need it.

Who's hot and who's not in the Pac-12?
Here's a random sampling.
Hot: Barkley to Woods
Seventeen of USC quarterback Matt Barkley's 34 completions against Minnesota went to receiver Robert Woods -- good for 177 yards and three touchdowns.
Not: Colorado's offensive line
The Buffaloes gave up seven sacks and led a rushing attack that net just 17 yards.
Hot: UCLA's offense
Sure, the Bruins lost at Houston, but it wasn't the offense's fault. The Bruins rolled up 554 yards, including 232 on the ground.
Not: Washington's defense
The Huskies gave up an eye-popping 504 yards -- 473 yards passing -- to FCS power Eastern Washington.
Hot: Arizona quarterback Nick Foles
Foles completed 81 percent of his passes against Northern Arizona for 412 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions.
Not: UCLA DE Datone Jones
Reporters have been celebrating Jones' potential for two years. A broken foot ended his chances in 2010, but he's healthy now. And two tackles at Houston doesn't cut it.
Hot: Washington kicker Erik Folk
Folk was 3-for-3 on field goals against Eastern Washington, with a long of 53 yards.
Not: Oregon running back Kenjon Barner
Filling in for the suspended Cliff Harris, Barner had negative-6 yards on three punt returns against LSU, including an ill-advised decision not to fair catch that led to his being stripped on a fumble return for a touchdown. He also rushed for just seven yards on four carries and left the game with a sprained ankle.
Hot: Stanford backup quarterback Brett Nottingham
Nottingham was 2-for-2 for 46 yards with a touchdown against San Jose State. That translates to a 458.2 efficiency rating, which is 312 points better than starter Andrew Luck. quarteback controversy?
Not: Oregon State's pass defense
The Beavers rank last in the conference in pass efficiency defense after playing -- and losing to -- an FCS team. The Beavers yielded four touchdown passes to Sacramento State and a 63.9 percent completion rate.

Welcome to DESIGN SQUAD GLOBAL!
Starting in February 2016, DESIGN SQUAD is going global, connecting U.S. kids to their peers in other countries, challenging them to solve global engineering problems, and expanding their cross cultural understanding.
DESIGN SQUAD GLOBAL builds on the strong educational foundation of the Emmy Award-winning digital initiative DESIGN SQUAD, which provides kids with one of the only places on the Web where they can safely share their engineering ideas and sketches with other kids.
And, coming in summer 2016, the DS GLOBAL Club Guide—a 10-session club that connects 10- to 13-year-olds in out-of-school programs around the world. At the heart of the club is a project in which kids from different countries work together toward a common goal. Over ten sessions, partner clubs will get to know each other, ask questions about each other's communities and countries, decide on an issue to work on together, share design ideas, and offer each other feedback. By collaborating with their partner club on global issues, these young engineers and inventors begin to discover that they can take action and make a difference in the world.
In collaboration with the global development organization FHI360, the DS GLOBAL Club Guide is currently being pilot tested at 14 afterschool programs in the U.S., Botswana, Swaziland, and South Africa. Researchers are conducting continuous data collection to learn as much as they can about what works, and doing on-going problem solving to improve the program.
There is a growing awareness that technical skills alone aren't enough to compete in a global economy. The call for equipping young people with what's needed to live in today's world—defined by the digital revolution and unprecedented human migration—is dominating education today. DESIGN SQUAD GLOBAL is meeting that call.
Educators! Sign up for our newsletter so we can alert you when the DS GLOBAL Club Guide is ready, which will enable you to help your students engage in global problems that require engineering solutions.
Engineers and Educators! Take DiscoverE's Global Day pledge.

You're looking at a Tangerine Scream-colored Ford Focus ST. This is the high-performance version of Ford's next-generation Focus. The high-powered hatchback will debut at the Paris Motor Show this month, but it isn't a Europe-only model. It will go on sale in the U.S. sometime in 2012.
That seems awfully far away as we're still awaiting sales of the plain-vanilla next-gen Focus, which won't begin until early 2011.
The engine will be a modified version of Ford's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which is good for 246 hp. Ford didn't formally announce a transmission to go with it, but as is clearly shown in the interior image below, the show car is equipped with a six-speed manual, as it should be.
More details will emerge at a later date, but for now check out larger versions of the photos below by clicking on any of the images.

John,I don't think that it does happen every week - but even if it happened ten times a game, it doesn't make it right. You surely can't condone cheating on the basis that '...other people do it...'?I just saw the Gillette Soccer Sat buch discussing it and Le Tiss basically said what you're saying and also said that he'd intentionally hand balled it - so Jeff asked him how many times he'd then cheated at golf and Les Tiss said 'none'. Isn't that the point? If everbody just ignores the cheating it becomes endemic. It needs to be rooted out - not excused.

Controversial Head Of Nuclear Commission Resigns
Gregory Jaczko, the controversial head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is resigning his post. During his tenure he frequently clashed with fellow commissioners and was called a bully. But in announcing his resignation, he didn't mention the internal strife.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
The chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is stepping down after three contentious years on the job. NPR's Tamara Keith reports.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: The reactions to Gregory Jaczko's resignation are pouring in and they range from it's an immeasurable loss to it's about time. Jaczko was a controversial figure in an agency charged with keeping nuclear power safe. In his case, that often meant running afoul of the nuclear industry and his fellow commissioners. When the commission voted earlier this year to allow construction of the first nuclear power plant since the late 1970s, Jaczko was the lone dissenting vote. But it wasn't his views that courted the most controversy.
At a House Oversight Committee late last year, commissioners Kristine Svinicki and William Ostendorff accused Jaczko of creating an environment that hurt the agency's ability to function.
KRISTINE SVINICKI: The chairman's continued outbursts of abusive rage directed at subordinates within the agency staff, all members of the commission including me have been on the receiving end of this conduct.
DR. WILLIAM OSTENDORFF: It's about bullying and intimidating behavior towards NRC career staff that should not and cannot be tolerated.
KEITH: Jaczko denied the charges.
DR. GREGORY JACZKO: Well, I'm a very passionate person about safety.
KEITH: Jaczko didn't mention the internal strife at the commission in announcing his resignation, simply saying this is the appropriate time to continue his public safety efforts in a different forum. He plans to remain on the job until his replacement is confirmed. A White House spokesman says the president intends to nominate a new chairman soon.

So we've just heard the news that Tom Brady signed a contract extension until the 2017 season. The contract is guaranteed for the 2013, 2014, 2015 seasons and not for the last two years when he is 39 and 40-years-old so there is still a chance he could could pull a Peyton Manning. Back to Welker. Before the Brady news broke the rumor went around that Welker was close to signing a 5 year $40 million deal. A couple hours later, what do ya know, Brady is back in New England for another 5 years. 5 and 5. I can almost guarantee that Brady said he'll take less money if they'd use that money to sign Welker. REMEMBER: After Tom Brady won his 3rd title, he signed a 6 year $60 million deal. That was crazy. Peyton Manning's deal dwarfed that contract. This is a very similar situation. Peyton's new deal in Denver is a 5 year $96 million contract. Brady could've demanded Peyton money but he didn't because he wants to win championships, and to help that championship cause, he wants Welker back. ...

The world until yesterday : what can we learn from traditional societies? (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Jared M. Diamond
Work details
The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? by Jared Diamond (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An enveloping read on traditional cultures, ranging from New Guinea to South American Indians, and comparing them to modern mainly American society. Doesn't romanticize either and highlights in interesting ways the differences between the two. Topics from warfare to child rearing and health are explored.
This book, by Jared Diamond, looks at traditional societies and the way they look/looked at the world and points out that our Western ways of doing things is not the only way of looking at the world, or solving problems.
Diamond is an American scientist who has spent a lot of time in New Guinea and his anecdotes and stories from this area are very interesting, though he does take a look at other societies as well.
Jared Diamond has spent a lot of time with traditional societies, particularly in Papua New Guinea where most of the remaining such societies are based, and not surprisingly he finds much to recommend them, whilst accepting that he wouldn't want to spend much more than the 7% of his time there that he currently does, and also mentioning that "first contact" tribes are not at all sentimental about their life and quickly recognise the appeal of more rice and fewer mosquitoes.
In The World Until Yesterday, Diamond points out some of the benefits of traditional societies that he thinks modern society has eschewed to its detriment. One of the more interesting of these was his discussion of relative styles of child rearing - and it is probably true that a child benefits from continuous "skin contact" with its mother and other adults and rarely being on its own. But to do anything about that requires a complete restructuring of modern society which seems unlikely to happen. We are not going to stay in our community our entire lives; personally, from where I live, the nearest family member is 4,000km away. The next nearest is 11,000km away. This is the case for an increasing number of people. And it seems unlikely and is certainly undesirable, that women are going to depart from the workforce on mass to spend more time in touch with their child (although if workplaces where more child friendly, it would be another story entirely)
I enjoyed his reflections on "constructive paranoia" - yes, its true, we are certainly lax about everyday hazards - child rearing, the elderly, and traditional vs modern warfare. His comments on the benefits of a traditional diet are certainly true - no one doubts the epidemic of obesity and Diabetes 2 that a modern diet brings, but then why not explore why all societies are so keen to abandon it at the earliest opportunity? His comments on religion, though interesting, didn't really seem to fit with the rest of the narrative. Most sensible people accept that religion is the attempt of an inquiring mind to make sense of its environment with the information at its disposal; sometimes supernatural intervention must have seemed the most logical explanation. Why so many educated people still hang on to these myths is another question entirely - but then many books have all been written about that.
All in all I enjoyed this, although it was slow going at times. Rather than "The World Until Yesterday" though the book might rather have been titled "Why I enjoy spending time with traditional people in New Guinea, but am pleased to get home"
Did not finish
I confess that I didn't get very far into this book at all, so maybe my review is unfair. However, there were so many major methodological problems at the beginning of the book that I was afraid to read on - I wasn't willing to trust any of Diamond's conclusions, because he is so cavalier with his evidence.
My problem is that he treats "traditional societies" as a single homogeneous thing. He acknowledges at the beginning that he is oversimplifying his terminology, but "oversimplify" doesn't begin to describe it. He only briefly touches on the fact that gathering reliable information about "traditional societies" is extremely problematic. For pre-modern traditional societies, we have to rely on archaeological evidence, which can only tell us so much and can be extremely difficult to interpret, especially depending on the quality of the archaeological dig. For traditional societies who have come into contact with modern societies, the evidence is even more difficult to interpret - the very act of gathering the evidence taints it, because it requires interacting with these people. Diamond briefly mentions these facts, then goes on to totally ignore them. He will make a statement about traditional societies, and then he will provide 5 examples, but these examples are all from different time periods and different parts of the world. It is very problematic to make generalizations based on such disparate evidence, but Diamond doesn't seem to mind at all. When he gives examples, he never discusses how certain we can be about the statements he is making, or what evidence he bases these statements on. I fear that he is cherry-picking the examples that back up his points and ignoring examples that do not.
So that's why I didn't read much of this book - Diamond's use (or misuse) of evidence made me distrust any conclusions he might make.
Unlike some critics, I take Diamond at his word: I believe that he does want to show traditional lives in their complex reality, to demonstrate what they have to teach us without unduly idealizing them. He wants us to see people who live careful, attentive lives in a world of want and uncertainty, people who know how to love their children without reading books on how to do so. He wants to show us the dangers of war, and the bittersweet comforts of industrialization. Above all, he wants to show us how he has been changed by the life he has led. In the end, however, his scientist's eye plays him foul. Diamond's stories give one a clear understanding of the exact physical locations of the objects he describes, but leave the culture and emotion of Papua New Guineans unexamined. His description of the lives of traditional people accurately describes their digestion and gestation, but not their thoughts and feelings. And in the end, despite his attempts to be nuanced, his portrayal of the life of traditional people is straight out of Hobbes: nasty, brutish, short, and escapable only by submitting to the authority of a sovereign.
Diamond has a gift for storytelling. He presents his examples in a seductively readable voice with unflinching confidence, which makes his conclusions about the similarities and differences between traditional and modern society seem like common sense. But as I read the text, I found that I agreed with Diamond in inverse relation to my pre-existing knowledge about whatever subject he was addressing.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0670024813, Hardcover)
Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterdayin evolutionary timewhen everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.
The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of yearsa past that has mostly vanishedand considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today.
This is Jared Diamond's most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn't romanticize traditional societiesafter all, we are shocked by some of their practicesbut he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. A characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining book, The World Until Yesterday will be essential and delightful reading.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:19 -0400)
Diamond reveals how tribal societies offer an extraordinary window into how our ancestors lived for millions of years -- until virtually yesterday, in evolutionary terms -- and provide unique, often overlooked insights into human nature.

Will not work with the media icon or by just placing the url in the body of the editor. There use to be a simple bbcode in the old days in where you just placed the video ID number such as "KAZwLM_mVzo" after the equal sign. Can this be fixed somehow to work like this or is there another fix to take the new youtube urls? Many thanks, JB

Eskimo Huskies liked a post in a topic: Ability to EDIT Members Status Updates
Many thanks for the update, works like a charm on 3.1.4 :thumbsup: Tested with IE8 and latest Firefox. Funny thing on my live forum it works like a charm. On the test forum when I log in and out it stops working with IE8 until you navigate out of the main page (to another area) and back in. Does not do that with my Live forum. I guess something must be corrupt with my test IPB install. This is a great hook, thanks again.
Many thanks. I stopped using the IPB Facebook Connect as it was creating problems. I do have the old FB application setup that I used with the old hook Like Box that you created. I just looked with the link you provided for FB and it shows App ID/API Key number and App Secret number. Is this all I would need with your new update? JB
Hello Michael, Having the same issue, not sure if I should uninstall the hook? I'm still using IPB 3.1.4 please take this into consideration when you update. I'm not too familiar with FB, when you say we now have to have a FB application set up in order to use, can you please explain. Thank you, JB
Just had a member try the Safari Plugin, here is what he reported; Is there anything I can do to have the controls show up at the bottom with the other browsers rather than right click and play?
I had an old version of this bbcode on 3.1.4 which I'm currently running. works fine and I can see the play buttons on IE8. I just had a report that it was not working with the other browsers, tested with latest Firefox and it did not work. So I downloaded this latest version and it works with the other browsers if you right click over the video window and hit play, the play/pause buttons still do not show for me. Safari still broken. Do the members using Safari need a plugin, what about the buttons not showing? Topic in question: http://jeeptalk.net/index.php?showtopic=22622 Thank you. Jim B.
Worldoversea replied to Tremault's topic in Product FeedbackI'm still running 3.1.4 and I'm having the same issue with the editor for almost a year. The quick reply takes about 20 seconds, members click the submit again and it double posts. In the regular editor is a bit better but still takes a while. Has anyone come up with a solution. I've created a ticket this morning and no response yet. Will see. It's crazy as I have tested with IE8 and latest Firefox. 90% is slow and the other 20% is hit or miss on posting properly. Even on creating new topics I see them double posted because members think that it did not take the first time. This is really an issue that needs to be solved. Other boards don't have this problem. Users of the board don't need to adjust. IPB needs to work right. I have not updated to later versions for the same reason and because of skin modifications. There has to be a solution. Please help us.
Worldoversea commented on Matt's article in IPS News1- If a number of users were following the topic before it was archived, will that list of users still be there if the topic is unarchived (so, is that info still stored in the new DB table)? 2- You can selectively unarchive a topic, but can you selectively archive one? This was asked before and I also would like to know this. This feature I believe was the best I've seen in a while. Thank you.
Worldoversea replied to stoo2000's topic in IPS Marketplace TopicsCan you confirm, I'm still using IPB 3.1.4, will this work and show a mini map in the member's portal? Thanks, JB
Worldoversea replied to chuckf's topic in IPS Marketplace TopicsNoticed you updated 2.0 to work with 3.2 IPB. If we install 2.0 on 3.1.4 IPB, will it still work? Thank you. JB
I had this problem when I moved over from the 2.3.x version installing the new one. What solved it for me is that the new paypal needed for me to configure an API setting (not sure if this is the correct term) with them so it could communicate. After I did this all worked ok.
What the heck I think I'll download and install so we can increase your resource count. :rofl: :grin: Plus you just mentioned about other minor bugs that might come and bite me later. Btw, getting the notifications now. Seems like when they updated the beta version it took them off.
If I'm already patched with 1.0.2 should I wait till the next version and forget about 1.0.3 or is there anything else I should consider in 1.0.3? I'm not getting email notifications on new replies from this new 3.2 board, wonder what's going on.... I'll check back.
Hello Michael, Many thanks for taking this over as I have about 28 of these with 2 packages and I need something simple. I was debating on not updating when IPB 3.2 comes out if this was not available. I just looked and I have version 1.0.2 installed. Had a problem with the sorting of dates and paypal not recognizing my older subscriptions when I came over from IPB 2.3x. I created a ticket and Andy was very helpful in patching this up for me. I noticed that you as well had something to do with it back in March 2011. Subscription Tracker Link http://community.inv...%26gt%3B-reset/ My question... If I update to version 1.0.3 will the above problems already be solved or should I stay with 1.0.2 since all is now working ok, or are there other issues that have been addresses that I might not know about? I don't want to wake up a sleeping giant. Many thanks, JB
Worldoversea replied to roc13x's topic in IPS Marketplace TopicsHmmm... just got an email that this file was updated June 7, 2011. Still mentions version 2.0.5 which is still the same as the one I installed March 31, 2011. Any thoughts?

Cool poster. I just heard that Josh Brolin(Hollow Man, Oldboy, Labor Day) will be playing the part of Thanos in both 'Gaurdians of the Galaxy' and 'Age of Ultron' . I think he has the perfect facial features for it, but still not sure about the voice yet, he's a great actor so it's gonna be awesome. And about Lee Pace as Ronan? I think it's perfect, we have Kree, Chituari, Thanos, and other alien races of the Marvel Universe... Which begs the question, "When will we see the Skrulls?"

Report: Arizona health-care enrollment falls short of projections
WASHINGTON — Arizona's health-insurance marketplace reached barely half of its projected enrollment under the Affordable Care Act by the end of last year, according to an analysis released Wednesday.
The analysis by the Commonwealth Fund said the state hit 54 percent percent of its projected enrollment in the first three months of "Obamacare," a sluggish performance that put it in the bottom half of all states.
Of the 27 states with federally facilitated exchange marketplaces, Arizona's year-end enrollment rate fell in the bottom 10.
Of all states and the District of Columbia, only 10 had achieved or exceeded their projected enrollment as of Dec. 28, said Sara R. Collins, vice president of health care coverage and access for the Commonwealth Fund.
Erin Klug, health insurance exchange program manager for the Arizona Department of Insurance, said Wednesday that the rollout has uncovered problems in the state that her department will have to address as enrollment grows.
Klug, speaking during a webinar in which the Commonwealth findings were discussed, said the most prominent issue is the lack of standards covering network adequacy for preferred provider organizations in Arizona.
"We have some interesting issues coming out of the rural parts of the state," where some PPO plans are being offered even though they may not have providers in those areas, she said.
Arizona has adequacy standards for health maintenance organizations, but only half of the "quality health plan" issuers through the online marketplace in Arizona are HMOs. The rest are PPOs.
Other problems that the state is concerned about are plan mismatches and fraud, Klug said.
The Arizona Department of Insurance has been receiving about 150 calls per month regarding the insurance marketplace, Klug said. But, by and large, the department is uninvolved in plan enrollment and eligibility, special enrollments and marketplace appeals, she said.
"After they've purchased insurance, that's when the state insurance department kicks in," Klug said.
The department oversees problems with insurance plans, claim denials and delays, claim appeals, agent misconduct, insurance scams and access to care, according to Klug's prepared presentation.
Sarah J. Dash of the Georgetown Health Policy Institute added that states with federally run marketplaces are experiencing more coordination problems regarding Medicaid than those with state partnership exchanges or state-based exchanges.
Those states that opted for the federally facilitated exchange, such as Arizona, also had significantly less funding compared to state-run exchanges, Dash said.

* The ending of the first episode when Mike and the kids come to get Frankie after she was left stranded in the middle of nowhere by the woman she was trying to sell a car to who had three kids in jail.
** Also, this line that Frankie says at the end:
-->'''Frankie''': [voiceover] That's the thing about family. Sure, they eat your food and wreck your face and you've got to save them a thousand times a day from who knows what. And every now and then they save you.
* The ending of "Thanksgiving" where it turns out that Frankie's family made thanksgiving dinner for her so it didn't have to be cancelled when she had to go to work for Mr. Ehlert that day so she didn't have to do all the cooking like she usually does.
* In "Bad Choices", the Hecks aren't sure whether or not they should move into a Hickory Arms apartment. For example, Frankie seems to like Hickory Arms because it has more luxuries than their old home and their roof was broken, but Sue doesn't want to leave her friends and the other neighbors they knew. At the end of the episode, the neighbors come to help the Hecks fix the roof of their house, making Frankie realize that they truly belonged in this neighborhood that they were lucky to have to count on for help.
-->'''Frankie''': [voiceover] You see, the thing we've forgotten is that we're part of the neighborhood. And the more our neighbors showed up to help us, the more Hickory Arms became a distant memory.

BASEBALL; New Dimension To Home Field
By BUSTER OLNEY
Published: May 18, 2003
Stand at home plate in Jacobs Field in Cleveland and it seems as if you could reach over the right-field fence by merely extending your arm. Jacobs Field was among the first of the new wave of ballparks designed to promote offense and home runs and hitters, the flashy lure for fans.
The Cleveland Indians of 1997 had five hitters who slugged 21 or more homers, and three others reached double digits. The Indians accumulated a staggering 220 homers and won the American League championship. They were also the last team from an offense-oriented park to win a pennant.
Teams inhabiting new parks with dimensions better suited for pitchers have had much more success. From 2000 to 2002, teams playing in new parks made the playoffs 11 times, through division titles or wild-card berths; in nine of those instances, the teams played in so-called pitchers' parks, like Arizona's Bank One Ballpark.
The statistics suggest that even though the parks slanted toward offense may foster home runs, a team playing in a bigger park has a better chance of playing in October.
''Pitching wins,'' said Ed Wade, general manager for the Philadelphia Phillies, who will move into a new park next season. ''It always boils down to pitching.''
Thirteen new parks have opened since Camden Yards in Baltimore became the first of the new style of parks in 1992, with nooks and crannies and oddly angled fences. Of those, eight are generally perceived by executives and players to be favorable to hitters, either because of overall dimensions, short power alleys or atmospheric conditions -- the home parks for Baltimore, Texas, Cleveland, Houston, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Colorado.
Five are regarded as pitchers' parks -- those of Atlanta, Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle and Detroit. This season, the Braves, the Giants and the Mariners are all sporting winning percentages over .600, while none of the eight teams from the hitters' parks are even close to .600.
The trend is not limited to the last few years, however. There have been 35 seasons played in the hitters' parks since Camden Yards opened, and those teams have accumulated 11 division titles and a wild-card berth, with an overall .509 winning percentage. (Colorado was not included in this survey because the offensive numbers in Coors Field are related to elevation rather than decisions in ballpark dimension.)
On the other hand, there have been 22 seasons played in new parks favorable to pitchers, and those teams have won 11 division titles and 2 wild-card berths, with a winning percentage of .552.
The last team to win a World Series while playing in an offense-slanted park was the Atlanta Braves, in 1995, when they were still in Fulton County Stadium.
There is a chicken-or-the-egg element to some of the numbers, as some executives noted in recent interviews. If Milwaukee fielded a staff of pitchers like Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz, as the Braves did, then the Brewers' Miller Park might seem more conducive to pitchers. Conversely, the Brewers' pitchers might make Turner Field in Atlanta look like a bandbox.
''You have to critically analyze what you determine to be a hitters' park,'' Gerry Hunsicker, general manager of the Astros, said.
Minute Maid Park in Houston is widely viewed as a hitters haven because of the relatively short distances of the fences in left field (315 feet) and left-center field (362 feet). Before the Yankees played the first game in the park in the spring of 2000 -- at that time it was known as Enron Field -- the diminutive second baseman Chuck Knoblauch drove a ball completely out during batting practice.
''Everybody ridiculed that'' part of the park, Hunsicker said. He added, ''But if you look at the numbers in our park, year by year, there is a rather dramatic falloff in offensive production.''
Again, the chicken or the egg: did the numbers go down because the park is more balanced than is widely perceived -- the center-field fence is 435 from home plate -- or because of the development of young Houston pitchers like Wade Miller and Roy Oswalt, and the aptitude of catcher Brad Ausmus?
Regardless of how Minute Maid Park or any other is defined, Hunsicker believes: ''Generally speaking, pitchers' parks are to your advantage, more so than hitters' parks. Pitching is still the name of the game. It's hard to win without solid pitching, and any advantage you can give your pitching staff is going to improve your chance for success.''
Until Turner Field opened in 1997, all of the new parks had dimensions conducive for offense. ''What we wanted to do was build a fair park,'' Braves General Manager John Schuerholz said. ''If a pitcher made a mistake, then the hitter can hit the ball out, and if the pitcher makes a good pitch, then he is rewarded.''
Turner Field has a relatively large outfield, with distant power alleys of 380 feet in left-center and 385 feet in right-center field, guarded by the Gold Glove center fielder Andruw Jones.
After Seattle moved from the offense-saturated Kingdome into Safeco Field, with its deep alleys of 385 to 388 feet, some hitters objected, including shortstop Alex Rodriguez, who eventually departed as a free agent. But while the Mariners won an American League-record 116 games in 2001, before losing in the playoffs to another team housed in a pitchers park, the Yankees, Rodriguez bashed 52 homers for Texas in the cozy confines of the Ballpark in Arlington.

I have been to every Walmart in the city of Richmond. Each store has plenty of 40 cal and 9mm ammo. I have a Ruger SP101 and can't find any .38 ammo for it. I lucked up at Dicks sporting goods today and got 2 boxes for $18 a box. I have a .40 cal, so I guess my next purchase needs to be a 9mm if I want to shoot just as frequently.

im thinking of making the move to 40 cal. I have been a 45 and 9mm owner. But, go to ammotogo and and compare the 9mm selection to the 40cal selection. Plus, its a good excuse to buy a new gun.
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it ......
I bet that Walmart stocks what they can sell in massive quantities, and ignores everything else. People don't bump-fire .38 weapons to act like an action hero, so not as much .38 ammo is sold.
I have been to places like Cabela's, Bass Pro, Gander Mountain, and normal local gun shops lately. There is plenty of .38 ammo available, both practice ammo and carry ammo. It is, however, a bit difficult to find my preferred .357 carry loads.
I did find some .38 ammo at some of the local shops, but for practice its a tad bit expensive. It is difficult to find .357 rounds.
My family: Glock 19, SW Sigma 40VE, Ruger SP101(.357), GSG-5k pistol (MP5 clone)(.22LR), Makarov .380
When I was shopping for my guns, one of the factors was the availability of ammo.
40 was abundant everywhere I went. So that is the caliber I chose, instead of getting another 1911.

Looking to get a .357/.38 in the next few weeks and around here its really hit or miss at walmart. Sometimes they have a lot of it sometimes they don't. 9mm and .40 are usually always stocked. I got lucky and saw some federal 9mm for 9.47 a box. That's the cheapest I've seen around here in Raleigh, Durham area of NC. Before that it was 13.99 for 50. So i just went with wwb for 23.99. I grabbed 5 boxes, probably go back and get more if they still have some on friday when I get paid.
Hard to find .45 and 38 special. .357 sig has also dried up at my ww. Wonder why that is ?

'Buy American' Signs Sending Mixed Messages. This is admittedly a very small story, dealing with a fairly small town. But this happening just about thirteen miles north of where I live, in a town I shop and buy lottery tickets at. (I wrote briefly about it in my own blog four days ago, alongside a photo of the "No Camel Jockeys Here" sign mentioned in the newspaper piece.)
Entertainment Weekly's
Entertainment Weekly's current (September 28, 2001) edition begins its story on the Internet in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks in the United States with a paragraph stating that:
The article goes on to mention many other links to relevant online sites including kottke.org, thefineline.org/tflblog, and camworld.com.
Apologies if this is a repost. I couldn't find it in recent days listings or search results.
By 9:15 Tuesday morning, a link to a live webcam atop the Empire State Building with a clear view of lower Manhattan was posted on Dave Winer's Scripting News Weblog (scripting.com). And dozens of other daily log writers, including the all-encompasing Metafilter.com, compiled the highlights from U.S. and foreign news sources.
The article goes on to mention many other links to relevant online sites including kottke.org, thefineline.org/tflblog, and camworld.com.

The Al-Qaeda manual
The Al-Qaeda manual on "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants," including especially instructions on how to infiltrate "godless areas" and not stand out. There's also an "assassinations" section with instructions on how to kill with a knife.
Fundamentalism Reaches Fever Point on U.S. Soil.
Fundamentalism Reaches Fever Point on U.S. Soil. Extremism is spreading and is now affecting our very own. Or as Greta Garbo's famously didn't say "I vont to be alone!". The question is: do you?
So while Bush has looked like a small rodent caught on a dual carriageway, Tony Blair has addressed the nation, met with the French and German prime ministers, attended a memorial service, met with both Clinton and Bush, been namechecked in the latters big speech, initiatied negotiations with Iran and, last but not least, been pictured looking photogenically concerned and statesman-like in a well-cut black suit. I don't think anybody does crisis as well as Blair. He's turning into Thatcher. Pity he doesn't have the support of his own party.
Isreal suggests two other "masterminds" behind the bombing in NY. Its about time someone printed this. As I posted this last week.
How to combat hijackers.
How to combat hijackers. "If someone were to stand up,brandish something such as a plastic knife and say 'This is a hijacking' or words to that effect here is what you should do: Every one of you should stand up and immediately throw things at that person — pillows, books, magazines, eyeglasses, shoes —anything that will throw him off balance and distract his attention. If he has a confederate or two, do the same with them. Most important: get a blanket over him, then wrestle him to floor and keep him there. We'll land the plane at the nearest airport and the authorities will take it from there."
The Dead Zone all over again?
The Dead Zone all over again? Lucich said the boy approached his teacher on the afternoon of Sept. 10 and casually told her: "Tomorrow, World War III will begin. It will begin in the United States, and the United States will lose." eerie little story about a 5th grader in Dallas

The emotional toll
The emotional toll of last week's tragedy may be greater than the physical losses. This certainly raises a case for distraction.
Is the music industry headed in a new direction
Is the music industry headed in a new direction after the events of last week? And I'm not talking about the release of the new Jay-Z album.
The Show Must Go On.
The Show Must Go On. Is it appropriate for Broadway shows to be up and running again? True, the Mayor prescribed it as a way to show how unaffected we are by terrorism, yet I couldn't imagine sitting in the audience at The Producers, laughing at "Springtime for Hitler," mocking the foolishness of that regime of hatred when the product of another regime of hatred lays smouldering just a few miles to the south.
Missing, presumed dead in NYC.
Missing, presumed dead in NYC. Dead at the Pentagon. While we talk about understanding the terrorist's reasons for the attack, please remember that each number we see scroll across tv is associated with a human being - who's only crime on September 11, 2001 was having the nerve to go to work or visit an international landmark.
'AMERICA and Britain are producing secret plans to launch a ten-year "war on terrorism"..' declares this (otherwise fairly generic) article without citing its sources. Be prepared for the possible oxymoron of a line that is 'the whole focus of the long-term American approach was being driven by Richard Cheney..' Oh yeah -- hate to promote Murdoch media but also noteworthy in this mornings edition of the London Times are the revelations that whilst 200 British 'are certain to have perished', a further 800 are missing following the disaster and a piece warning of a 'nightmare scenario' in which Pakistan could lose control of its nuclear weapons to none other than THE TALIBAN.

Internet Domain Names May Have Warned of Attacks
Internet Domain Names May Have Warned of Attacks "Internet domain names like 'attackontwintowers.com' and 'worldtradetowerattack.com' were registered more than a year ago. It's not known at this time who registered the suspicious names or what their purpose was." Hmm. Just (un)lucky guesses, or inside information?

Rush Limbaugh says "Robertson and Falwell Were Wrong". I never thought I'd see the day where I'd actually think about sending a thank you note to Rush, but it may be time. Limbaugh derides the fundamentalists' recent comments, stating "Suggestions of this kind are one of the reasons why all conservatives get tarred and feathered with this extremist, bigoted, racist, sexist, homophobic label or image that isn't true. The words of Robertson and Falwell are not the words of all conservatives - they are the words of Robertson and Falwell." Is this the beginning of a kindler, gentler Limbaugh?

don't know what's scarier about this CNN "Fact Sheet,"
don't know what's scarier about this CNN "Fact Sheet," the fact that the FBI may have known about this plot six years ago and didn't prepare for it, or that CNN thinks readers need a "who's who" section that helpfully identifies "George W. Bush" as "U.S. president."
Was a US attack on the Taliban been in the works since July?
Was a US attack on the Taliban been in the works since July? According to this BBC article, the US had been planning a "military action", for the end of October, since mid July. The plan was to invade Afghanistan,oust the Taliban, and install a moderate government, possibly under former king Zahir Shah. Are the attacks last week simply going to legitimize this pre-existing plan? Or am I simply being too paranoid?
Is this Saddam's work?
Is this Saddam's work? CBS News: "United States has received an intelligence report that Mohammed Atta, the hijacker who is named as the pilot of the first plane to strike the World Trade Centers, met early this year somewhere in Europe with the head of the Iraqi intelligence service." CNN is reporting it too.

Fake Hate Crime
Fake Hate Crime This doesn't help things. What was he thinking? (from fark)
Praise be to David Letterman for tonight's Late Show. Questioning himself the appropriateness of returning to the air, there he was--the man famed for his sarcasm and goofy antics--addressing his audience like a wounded child, completely bewildered, emotional, fighting back tears. And then the sight of Dan Rather sobbing despite himself and then apologzing---it was enough to ravage any audience. Perhaps, for the first time in a while, television didn't appeal to our lowest common demoninator but, instead, sought to raise us up and appeal to our humanity. Thanks Dave.

Boy Killed in Gun Accident; Father Wanted Weapon for Protection After Terrorist Attacks
Boy Killed in Gun Accident; Father Wanted Weapon for Protection After Terrorist Attacks Hmmm, would this be filed under Darwin? I think we have a nominee here.
During a severe Air Defence Emergency in the US a regulatory scheme known as 'SCATANA' is automatically invoked to deal with the situation and minimise threats. The central provision of the plan is to 'disable navigation aids which the attackers might be relying on'. This didn't happen last Tuesday (FAA confirmed, NORAD refused comment). Could it have prevented the planes reaching their targets? Are there now serious grounds for concern regarding the implementation procedure of military provisions essential for preserving American airspace security? The Register appears to think so.

Who benefits from the bombings?
Who benefits from the bombings? A rather controversial piece. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I thought it would be interesting to throw into the discussion. The author's assertion definitely a possibility (since anything is possible), but I'm leaning towards the 'this is quite a nutter' assessment. Thoughts?
(I did a search and couldn't find a reference to it on this site, maybe for good reason.)

Crime or War?
Crime or War? Dianne Durante: "If it was a crime by an individual, like the Oklahoma City bombing, then we would gather the evidence and bring the perpetrator to trial. If it was a crime by individuals sponsored and abetted by a foreign government, then it was an act of war, and is a matter for military action: immediate and decisive. If the attack was in fact government-sponsored, then capturing and punishing individual killers is less crucial than preventing further attacks by the foreign government."
Media Literacy & Choosing Sides.
Media Literacy & Choosing Sides. But whatever role we historically played, and however ineffectual our strategy, what we have been aiming to support over the past couple of centuries is creativity and free will. All of the relativistic angst and political critique expressed by we highly educated internet-literate computer users has been made possible by the Western system, born in the French and US revolutions.
Troops Massing on Afghanistan/Pakistan Border:
Troops Massing on Afghanistan/Pakistan Border: 20,000+ Taliban troops and an unreported number of Pakistani reinforcements have been deployed in anticipation of a Pakistan-based U.S. strike.

Okay, so I am a little biased against the Democratic Underground. Occasionally I may even laugh at some of their insults of dubya. I am sure this page was placed on their website early in the day of the attack without thinking. Maybe I am being just a little too sensitive about the tragedy, but I really think they should at LEAST change the date of this letter to santa.

It seems that the mobile browser is looking for the object with the highest width and scales his zoom to have this width on 100% of the screen.
Does anybody know this problem?
Thx for any help!

After upgrading to WordPress 3.5 I am unable to edit items in the media library. The edit link does not have a href attribute and if I manually try to access /wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=mediaID the system dies with message "You are not allowed to edit this item.". I am using the administrator account and have uploaded all files via that account.
Also the media upload tool freezes on the "crunching..." message and the file info and thumbnail are not displayed. The file is visible at the media library though.
Disabling Role Scoper 1.3.58 fixes the issue.
I have replicated this issue on two of my sites and need a fix ASAP.

24" Wide Currency Storage Cabinet
Though this item is long gone, we've curated a few other products that you might also be interested in. Check them out!
24" Wide Currency Storage Cabinet
by Turnstone from Steelcase
|At A Glance:
This Currency Storage Cabinet is made to be the catch-all organizer for any office. With adjustable shelving above and two file drawers below, this storage tower keeps track of office supplies while taking up a minimal amount of space.
What's To Like:
It's a storage cabinet. Every office (and even some homes) needs something like this, and the question becomes durability and quality vs. "bargain price." The Currency cabinet comes down on the side of durability and quality, with Steelcase's solid-as-a-rock construction.
What's Not to Like:
Though it's not a flaw in design, this storage cabinet is really heavy. One person can probably move it, but only with a handcart, and it's really best to have a couple strong folks do it. Once you have it in place, though, heavy becomes an asset.
The Bottom Line:
Definitely pick one of these up (not literally - you'll hurt yourself) if your office needs storage for binders, supplies, or lateral files. The Currency Storage Cabinet will hold your stuff for a long, long time.
The Currency Storage Cabinet is also known by the following manufacturer item numbers: TS5TLTL2424, TS5TLTR2424.
