The credit report only gives a PO Box address. I called Capitol One in Texas (Main Branch) and they have no record of me having any account with Capitol One. The Texas branch stated they have no branch in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The balance is only about $400.00 to $450.00. That is not the point.
I am active duty military and this account was created while I was in Baghdad, Iraq. This I can prove.
I filed a fraud alert and a request to have it investigated by the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus said contact the company. Full circle of nothing. What a surprise.
In Dec 08, I wrote this address a letter demanding proof I opened this account or have it removed from my credit report. I thought they removed it.
The company has not responded. Further it has not been removed from my credit report.
I was recently denied credit again on this entry.

ATP Announces 2017 & 2018 Calendars Following Record-Breaking 2015 Season
January 13, 2016
LONDON – The ATP has released its 2017 and 2018 calendars on the back of a record-breaking season in 2015 that attracted a global broadcast audience of 973 million viewers, a 10% growth on the previous year.
Combined with the ATP's weekly magazine show, ATP World Tour Uncovered, which drew a viewership of 60 million, ATP events attracted in excess of 1 billion viewers globally in 2015. The 2015 season also saw an all-time on-site attendance record, with 4.5 million fans attending ATP events across the season.
The 2017 & 2018 calendar represent a continuation of the current calendar, underpinned by the nine ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events, 13 ATP World Tour 500s, and 40 ATP World Tour 250s, with all roads leading to the spectacular season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.
"Our current structure of tournaments, as well as this phenomenal generation of players, has generated a significant growth in audiences in recent years," said Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman & President. "We're delighted to have seen that trend continue in 2015, and to confirm our calendars through to 2018 as we look to ensure a period of stability and sustained growth for the Tour."
While the cornerstones of the calendar remain the same, the ATP World Tour is set to expand into new markets, as early as 2016, reaching a total of 32 countries:
- Bulgaria (Garanti Koza Sofia Open) will host its first ever ATP World Tour tournament in February following the relocation of the tournament in Zagreb, Croatia, to Sofia.
- Mexico (Abierto Mexicano Los Cabos) will host a second ATP World Tour tournament following the relocation of the tournament in Bogota, Colombia, to Los Cabos.
- Belgium (European Open) will host an ATP World Tour event for the first time since 1998 following the relocation of the tournament in Valencia, Spain, to Antwerp.
- From 2017, a second grass court tournament will be held the week before Wimbledon, alongside Nottingham. A separate announcement relating to this tournament will follow in due course.
An updated 2016 ATP World Tour calendar, as well as the 2017 & 2018 calendars can be found here.

Tennis Elbow: Loving tennis courts app review
December 9, 2013
Welcome to Tennis Elbow, a new column that will look back on the week that was in the world of tennis. This week, Charles Blouin-Gascon has a special edition of the column—one that profiles two Toronto entrepreneurs and their new app.
Mario Filipas and Alan Fong are living proof of that old cliché, that the friends you make in university are the ones you will keep your entire life.
I meet Filipas in late September at a café in downtown Toronto, and soon enough Fong joins us. And when I say that he joins us, I mean that he comes in barging through the door, hits Filipas in the back, and Filipas screams "Ouch!" and then they both laugh—you know, university friends!
But Filipas and Fong aren't in university anymore. They're middle-aged men, entrepreneurs living in Toronto, and they have developed an idea. And for that idea, they have developed an app. "There's an app for that," and now there could also be an app for tennis.
LoveCourts allows any- and everyone to "play like the pros." That's the tagline. With the LoveCourts app, you can play like the pros. Mario and Alan are saying this, "Play like the pros," as they're showing me a demo of the app on an iPad. "Why can't the everyday player get a taste of that experience?" Filipas asks.
Everything, in 2013, is about interaction and connecting more and more people to each other. LoveCourts is working toward that, specifically for tennis players. "You have your small circle of tennis players that you play with and unless you join a club and enter a league," Filipas says, "there's no way to find other tennis players."
That's what LoveCourts helps most with.
Filipas thinks the logic is sound. "Anyone who occasionally plays," he says, " must want to get into (tennis), and this is to help encourage them."
With LoveCourts you can play like the pros, remember?
Professional tennis is a weird sport—let's pretend, here, that you're a professional player. You play against a fellow pro, and the spectators know your strengths, your weaknesses, your head-to-head record and your ranking. You play and play and play until there's a winner and maybe you're the winner. In which case, you get to repeat it again the following day until there's yet another winner, and so on until only one person is left standing and that's the person who has won the tournament. One week has passed, and with the start of a new week comes the start of another tournament, and new winners, losers, etc.
Contrast that with the way us average folks play tennis.
We play and play and play until there's a winner, and whether we're the winner or not really doesn't matter. We hit the showers, and then we drive back home because we've played in the evening and we have to work the following morning—or worse, we played this match in the morning and we now need to rush to the office for our 9-to-5-p.m. regular job.
We can't play every day, because we're not good enough and because we have a life outside of the sport. For us, tennis is a hobby but that doesn't mean that we're not happy when we beat "Bob from accounting" 6-1, 6-4. LoveCourts helps with that. "What if you could record all the matches that were played on that one court?" Filipas asks. "You have an instant league on that court."
Or maybe you don't play competitive tennis. In this case, you still probably would like to see "track your own progress" over time, Fong says, and LoveCourts helps here too. "You bring your phone to the tennis courts after all," as Fong says. Entering data in a mobile app should be easy enough.
With the app, you can host and participate in more tournaments, in your neighbourhood or otherwise. You can schedule regular matches against people you know and others against people you don't know, confident that in all cases you will be pitted against someone of your level. You can have more competitive matches or track your progress. That's what Fong and Filipas mean with the tagline "Play like the pros." It's not that you can hit a backhand down the line like Novak Djokovic can. It's that you can play tennis matches more regularly and with more partners.
Manage your tennis life—Fong says that's what the app is for. They both know a thing or two about managing a tennis life, as they've played more matches against one another than against anyone else. They both have loved the sport as much as they remember, and Fong says that he won "every single match that we played for 10 years." (Filipas, on the other hand, contests that assessment.) For the longest time, they would debate who won the most matches. This app fixes that problem, recording the date, opponent, result and even location of each match entered.
If the "whole goal is to play more," as Fong and Filipas explain, then LoveCourts only needs to be reliable to fulfill what could be a large potential. I'm the perfect guinea pig for it too. This past summer, I played tennis almost twice a week on average, every time with the one same friend of mine. We are both recent graduates, live close to each other, have the same type of financial capabilities (read: non-existent) and, most importantly, are on the same level. I play with friend X, because he's the only person that I know in Toronto who is as good/bad as I am.
Canada will never be a tennis country, everyone knows this—Milos Raonic, Alan, Mario, myself, all of us know. Canada is hockey country, always has been and always will be. But tennis is growing. "It's a snowball effect, right? So we just want to be part of that snow to make that ball bigger," says Fong. "We think we can do that."
Filipas is confident that the app could develop into something big and says that the end game is hopefully his photo and Fong's on the cover of TENNIS magazine. The tagline? "Changed tennis forever." Filipas is at a loss for words on what a successful product would mean. "For others to like our product, I mean… Wow," he says. "But the other thing is that it won't be successful for me if it isn't successful for others too."
LoveCourts is just a beta version when I see it, but I can definitely see the appeal right away. If nothing else, it's because it looks very good. They have relied on the traditional Wimbledon colours, the purple and green that reminds everyone of the Cathedral of tennis.
We leave the café after about an hour, and I walk home even though I live about half an hour away. I'd rather save the three bucks the transit would cost me, plus it's nice and warm outside. It's in late September, which means that the snow will arrive soon enough in Toronto.
I have maybe six more good weeks of tennis, if I'm lucky. We've yet to invent an app to fix that problem. Damn snow.

Viktor Troicki responds to suspension announcement
July 25, 2013
The following is a rebuttal from Viktor Troicki regarding his recent suspension from the ATP World Tour. It was given to us by Corrado Tschabuschnig, who is former Tour player and now Troicki's agent at Topseed.
Can you explain what actually happened?
It happened in Monte Carlo this spring. I was feeling awfully bad on April 15th before, during and after the 1st round match against Jarkko Nieminen. I was selected for urine and blood test after the match and went to the doping control station after showering and stretching. I gave the urine samples and told the doctor I was feeling really bad and I believed that drawing blood would make me feel even worse. I always feel awful when I need to draw blood and that day I was scared I would end up in hospital.
The doctor in charge of the testing told me that I looked very pale and ill, and that I could skip the test if I wrote an explanation letter to ITF about it. She dictated the letter to me and let me go without giving blood. She was very helpful and understanding.
And what went wrong thereafter?
Now I am being charged for refusing to undergo a blood test without justification. This is a real nightmare.
I was 100% sure everything was ok, just like my coach Jack Reader who was in the doping control station room with me during at least half of the procedure.
Did you eventually have a blood test when you felt better?
Yes, I had a blood test from the same doping control officer the next morning.
Did you get the urine and blood test results back, and if you did what did they show?
Both negative, totally clean.
How often have you been tested in an out of competition?
I was tested 5 times for blood and many more times for Urine.
Have you ever missed a test before?
No, I never missed a test before.
Have you consulted with the ATP medical team to back you up?
No I haven't. The doping control officer doing the controls was a doctor herself. I asked her and she showed me all her diplomas. She checked me and told me I could skip the test and dictated me the explanation for it. After I left the doping control station I went straight to bed and slept all afternoon. I didn't see any reason to worry so I didn't look for any help.
What are your immediate thoughts, feelings?
I am destroyed and exhausted. The whole period I have been thinking only about this issue. And it is not over yet, so I can't really describe it. I am not even angry with the doctor. I believe that maybe she was told by her organization that she made a big mistake letting me go she backed up and tried to save her job.
Have you spoken to other players?
Yes, I spoke to my doubles partner Seppi and other players tonight. They are as shocked as me and they think it is ridiculous. It could have happened to anyone of them.
Will you be appealing?
Yes for sure. I put my trust in the Court of Arbitration of Sports in Lausanne, I really hope they will look for the truth and find it, which is only one.
The doping rules are pretty strict but do you feel there should be consideration for such situations?
The doping rules are strict and they must remain strict. But this was a clear mistake from the on-site doping control officer who was also a doctor, and the person in charge to decide. She let me go and reassured me. In my opinion once she found out that she didn't follow the procedures she turned her back on me.
Have you spoken to Novak and if so what has he said?
He said that he is sure it will end good because I am innocent, and that ATP should really back me up with this.
Is there anything else you would like to say?
I feel like I am being treated like a criminal and I have not committed anything at all. I have a fear of the needle and I always have troubles drawing blood. But I always did. I am clean and will always be clean throughout my career. I just had the wrong doctor who didn't tell me at all that I was risking anything. She showed me a letter of the ITF saying she is in charge of the decisions and I trusted her completely. I wish I had recorded the discussion, there would have never been a case if I did.
I am 100% sure that the court of arbitration in Lausanne will consider my good faith and my total innocence. But now, this enormous sanction makes me speechless. It feels like the world that I help building day by day has let me down. It is the worst feeling you can imagine.
What are you going to do now?
I really don't know. It is all fresh and I can't really believe it yet. I am a fighter and I will try to fight, together with my team and my lawyers, but I am quite destroyed now. I hope this nightmare will come to a good end, and I really want to continue playing. I don't deserve this.
Davis Cup teams announced for Canada vs. Italy World Group quarterfinal
March 26, 2013
Toronto, March 26, 2013 – Tennis Canada announced Tuesday the Miele Canadian Davis Cup team nominated to compete in the upcoming Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group quarter-final tie between Canada and Italy.
Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, Ontario), Daniel Nestor (Toronto), Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, Ontario) were named to the squad by captain Martin Laurendeau to compete on an indoor hard court at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver from April 5-7, 2013. Jesse Levine (Ottawa), Filip Peliwo (Vancouver) and Adil Shamasdin (Toronto) will also be travelling to Vancouver with the team as part of an extended squad of players. Available members of the team are currently taking part in a training camp to prepare for the tie at Uniprix Stadium in Montreal before heading to Vancouver later this week.
The Italian Tennis Federation also announced the team that will head to Vancouver to face-off against Canada. They selected world No. 19 Andreas Seppi, current No. 2 doubles team Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini as well as No. 59 Paolo Lorenzi. Fognini is also a highly-ranked singles player at No. 36.
"Any team that reaches the final eight in Davis Cup competition is going to be a very tough group of players and this is definitely true of Italy," said Laurendeau. "We have the same group of guys already in Montreal working hard to get ready to play this team and we will continue the preparation in Vancouver next week leading up to the tie. We are still on a high from making history in February and we want to ride that momentum, take advantage of this opportunity and keep this going into the semifinals."
Dancevic has competed for Canada's Davis Cup team every year since 2002 except when he was hampered with a back injury in 2008. He holds an impressive 13-5 record in Davis Cup matches played on home soil. One of his biggest career Davis Cup victories came during February's tie against Spain when he defeated their top singles player Marcel Granollers 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 to give Canada a resounding 2-0 lead after the first day of play. Dancevic has come through for his team in big moments in the past as he clinched the fifth and deciding rubber against Brazil in 2003 to send Canada back to the World Group after more than a decade absence. Dancevic recently qualified for the Masters 1000 event in Miami last week but fell in the first round to Lukasz Kubot.
Nestor holds the record for most years played by a Canadian in Davis Cup at 21. He also holds the record for most wins (44), most doubles wins (29), and most ties played (43). He was awarded a Davis Cup Commitment Award from the ITF at the tie in February for his exemplary dedication to playing for his country. Nestor holds 80 ATP World Tour doubles titles, which is fourth on the all-time list, and holds a career Golden Slam (all four Grand Slam trophies and an Olympic Gold medal). He is currently ranked No. 5 on the ATP World Tour doubles rankings.
Pospisil will be playing his eighth tie for Canada in Davis Cup. He was a key contributor to Canada's return to the World Group in 2011, going 6-1 in the three ties he played and nearly single-handedly winning the World Group play-off versus Israel. Currently No. 129 in singles, Pospisil qualified for the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells earlier this month and was a finalist at the $35K Rimouski Challenger in Quebec this past weekend.
The highest-ranked singles player nominated to play this upcoming tie at No. 16 in the world, Raonic has had a successful start to the 2013 season. In addition to tying his career-best fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open in January, he also won his third consecutive SAP Open title at San Jose and reached the fourth round at Indian Wells earlier this month. Raonic is on a 5-0 Davis Cup singles win streak dating back to the World Group tie against France last year. He won both of his singles matches in the play-off against South Africa and the historic victory over Spain earlier this year.
Canada is entering uncharted territory for this upcoming tie as it is the country's first Davis Cup quarter-final appearance in history. It has been 15 years since Italy was last in this stage of the competition as they finished as runners-up in 1998. Canada is the higher-ranked team at No. 8 with Italy sitting right behind at No. 9. This will be the first meeting between the two teams.
The winner of this tie will move on to the semifinals in September versus the winner of a tie between Serbia and the United States. The loser will be eliminated from 2013 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas competition, but both nations have already qualified for World Group action in 2014 because of their first-round victories.
Davis Cup by BNP Paribas is the largest annual international team competition in sport with 130 nations competing. Only 16 countries entered in Davis Cup competition qualify for the World Group each year.

Toronto, January 22, 2013 – Tennis Canada announced Tuesday the Miele Canadian Davis Cup team nominated to compete in the upcoming Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first-round tie between Canada and Spain.
Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, Ontario), Daniel Nestor (Toronto), Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver) and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, Ontario) were named to the squad by captain Martin Laurendeau to compete on indoor hard court at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver from February 1-3, 2013. Jesse Levine (Ottawa), Filip Peliwo (Vancouver) and Adil Shamasdin (Toronto) will also be travelling to Vancouver with the team as part of an extended squad of players.
The Spanish Tennis Federation also announced the team that will head to Vancouver to face-off against Canada. They selected World No. 11 Nicolas Almagro, Top 5 doubles team Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez as well as No. 51 Albert Ramos. Granollers is also a highly-ranked singles player at No. 33.
"Over the last couple of years we have really established a solid group of players who are all passionate about playing Davis Cup," said Laurendeau. "I'm extremely happy with the group coming to Vancouver and feel confident about returning to a place that showed us such tremendous fan support last year. Spain is going to be a real challenge. They are the top team in the world with incredible depth. They have 13 players in the Top 100 alone so no matter what team they're bringing, it will be stacked with talent. Our guys will train hard all week and be at their best for the weekend but we will also need a loud crowd on our side to help us pull off this upset."
Dancevic has competed for Canada's Davis Cup team every year since 2002 except in 2008 when he was hampered with a back injury. He holds an impressive 12-4 record in Davis Cup matches played on home soil. In 2012 he captured the $125K Dallas Tennis Classic defeating top players Igor Andreev, Marin Cilic and Yen-Hsun Lu en route. He also reached the final of the $50K Tallahassee Challenger and the semifinals of the $100K Vancouver Challenger. His career-high ranking is No. 65, achieved in 2007.
Nestor holds the record for most years played by a Canadian in Davis Cup at 20. He also holds the record for most wins (44), most doubles wins (29) and most ties played (42). Nestor is currently ranked No. 5 in the world in doubles and has started the year in a new partnership with another veteran doubles specialist in Mahesh Bhupathi. In 2012 he captured his eighth Grand Slam title and became the oldest player to hit the No. 1 ranking spot in singles or doubles on the ATP World Tour. Nestor holds 80 ATP World Tour doubles titles, which is fourth on the all-time list, and holds a career Golden Slam (all four Grand Slam trophies and an Olympic Gold medal).
Pospisil will be playing his seventh tie for Canada in Davis Cup. He was a key contributor to Canada's return to the World Group in 2011, going 6-1 in the three ties he played and nearly single-handedly winning the World Group play-off versus Israel. In 2012, he captured his first two ATP Challenger events at the $35K Rimouski and $50K Granby tournaments and reached his first ATP World Tour quarter-final at Kuala Lumpur. He reached a career-high ranking of No. 85 in July of last year.
Raonic continued his rise as one of the young stars of the game in 2012, finishing the year as the top-ranked North American at No. 13 in the world. He picked up two more titles at Chennai and San Jose and was a finalist at Memphis and Tokyo. He also reached his first two Masters 1000 quarter-finals at Rogers Cup and Cincinnati in successive weeks. He matched his career-best performance at a Slam by making the fourth round at the US Open, a feat he accomplished again this past week at the Australian Open before falling to world No. 2 Roger Federer. Raonic has compiled an 8-4 record for Canada in Davis Cup play in just six ties.
Spain is the seeded team and also the top-ranked Davis Cup team in the world. They have dominated Davis Cup competition since 2000, winning five times (2000, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2011) and finishing as runner-up twice (2003, 2012).
The only other time the two countries have met in Davis Cup action was in 1991 when Spain defeated Canada 4-1 in the World Group first round.
The winner of this tie in February will move on to the World Group quarter-finals and will also be assured to keep their spot in the World Group for the following year. The losing nation will be forced to play a World Group play-off tie to keep their spot in the elite level for 2014.
Davis Cup by BNP Paribas is the largest annual international team competition in sport with 130 nations competing. Only 16 countries entered in Davis Cup competition qualify for the World Group each year.
A limited number of tickets for the event are still available at www.ticketermaster.ca or by calling 1-855-985-5000. For more information about the event, please visit www.tenniscanada.com/daviscup.

Canada defeats South Africa to keep their place in world group
September 16, 2012
Montreal, September 16, 2012 – The Miele Canadian Davis Cup team will remain in the World Group for Davis Cup by BNP Paribas next year after defeating South Africa 4-1 in a World Group play-off tie held outdoors this weekend at Uniprix Stadium in Montreal.
After Daniel Nestor (Toronto, ON) and Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC) were unable to clinch the tie for Canada in Saturday's doubles rubber losing in straight sets, Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) secured the winning point for his country with a decisive 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Izak Van Der Merwe in Sunday's first reverse singles rubber between the teams' no. 1 players.
Raonic was dominant from the first ball, getting an early break in all three sets to maintain control throughout the match. The 21-year-old executed both on serve and with his groundstrokes, continually keeping his opponent on his heels.
"I am proud to be part of this new era of Canadian tennis." Raonic said." It's great to be back in the World Group, there's a lot of time between now and February for us all to improve so that we can improve our chances of advancing further in the World Group in 2013."
Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON) capped the weekend with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Nikala Scholtz, who was appearing in his first Davis Cup tie for South Africa.
"To qualify for the World Group for two straight years shows that we can consistently perform at a high level," said Team Canada captain Martin Laurendeau. "It was a great team effort this week starting with the way we practiced, the way we prepared for the tie, and the way we executed and played the matches."
This is the first time since 1991-'92 that Canada has qualified for the World Group in consecutive years. Only 16 nations entered in Davis Cup play qualify for the elite World Group. The draw for opponent and choice of ground will take place this Wednesday, September 19 in London at 11:00 a.m. local time (6 a.m. ET). The World Group first round tie will be played from February 1-3, 2013.

How to get census data during the government shutdown
We've found that there are still several ways to access government data.
Lessons from the German census
When the results of the 2011 German census were announced recently, they included an embarrassing error – at least in the demographics world. It showed the German population was 1.5 million people short of what the government had expected. The news dealt a blow to Germany's reputation for efficient record-keeping, and it's also relevant to […]
Slideshow: U.S. Hispanic Population Trends
Key findings from the Statistical Portrait of Hispanics in the United States, 2011.
Census Bureau Lowers Forecast and 'Loses' 39 Million Future Americans
The Census Bureau's new national population projections released this week forecast markedly lower growth for the nation in the coming decades—especially from immigration—than the last official projection in 2008.
Should the American Community Survey Be Voluntary?
Tests show that if Americans were not required by law to respond to census surveys response rates would drop significantly and the cost of obtaining reliable data would rise considerably.
Census Bureau Considers Changing Its Race/Hispanic Questions
The Census Bureau presents new research tomorrow that attempts to address the frequent mismatch between Americans' self-identity and the race or Hispanic categories they are offered on their census questionnaires.
Hispanic Poverty Rate Highest In New Supplemental Census Measure
Hispanics have the highest poverty rate of the nation's largest racial and ethnic groups under an alternative Census Bureau calculation known as the Supplemental Poverty Measure. The alternative measure is intended to better reflect the costs of basic living expenses as well as the resources people have to pay them.
How many U.S. residents were missed in the census?
Senior research staff answer questions from readers relating to all the areas covered by our seven projects, ranging from polling techniques and findings, to media, technology, religious, demographic and global attitudes trends.
How Accurate Are Counts of Same-Sex Couples?
Two decades after the Census Bureau began offering people the option to describe themselves as a same-sex "unmarried partner," producing accurate numbers on same-sex couples remains a challenge.
Imputation: Adding People to the Census
When census-takers can't reach anyone at a particular address or obtain information about occupants in other ways, they sometimes use a last-resort statistical technique called "imputation" to fill in missing data. One marker of the quality of a census is how much it relies on imputation to add people to the count.

Carver Middle School played host to a big basketball game Thursday afternoon.
Community members were invited to play in the game which was designed to motivate the students to do well on state tests next week.
Newspapers writing, radio personalities, and our own meteorologist Brian Hutton Junior were among those who played.
"It says a lot to our kids about the commitment of the people who live right around Carver," says principal Tiffany Plott, "but also the [commitment of the] people of Meridian and how much support they give to us."
Plott says the theme for Carver students leading up to state tests is "Finish Strong."

Further investigation revealed name of company and purpose of call was to collect a debt from a person not my son, who is 33, not 14 and at least used to live in the area. Company later called me back and informed me that this was the phone number last used by the debtor 30 months ago.
Doubtful that both last name and supposedly reassigned phone number would have been the same. Likelihood is that they took local phone book and called all the parties with the same last name in a "scorched earth" attempt to locate debtor. Complaint lodged with FCC Consumer Response Center.

First of all, thanks for developing this widget and keeping it up to date!
There's one minor problem I encounter when using the widget.
In the backend of the latest WP version (10-08) the Twitter widget shows my Avatar along with my sites name. Right below that, the name (IMOFX) pops up for the second time, but it shows them nicely aligned.
Going to the front end, the same widget shows the Avatar just fine, but a gnarled name to the right. The second name shows just fine again.
You can have a look here: http://www.imofx.com/blog
Any ideas where I can turn this off (the first name) or do you happen to have a solution to this ?
Kind regards,

Scoring is at its low point since the The New NHL took hold after the 2004-05 lockout, but this list is all about quality, not quantity. Here are THN's top 10 NHL goals from the past calendar year. Read more
Edward Fraser
Edward Fraser, The Hockey News' managing editor, joined THN in 2005 after covering the Jr. B Stratford Cullitons for a couple of seasons. The London, Ont., native graduated from the University of Western Ontario – where he did campus radio color commentary for both men's and women's hockey – with a Master's in Journalism. He really, really hates the loser point.
Hawks sign Seabrook to eight-year extension; now something has to give
Last year, Brent Seabrook averaged 22:10 minutes per game; his 'D' partner, Duncan Keith averaged 25:33; Patrick Kane 19:51; Jonathan Toews 19:33; and Marian Hossa 18:33.
That quintet, assuming they're all still around, better get used to playing a lot more than that.
After Seabrook signed an eight-year, $55-million extension ($6.875-million per year) that will kick in next season, the above five players, along with Corey Crawford, will have a combined cap hit of $44.7 million, or 62.8% of their overall allowance, using this year's ceiling. In other words, unless the cap shoots up next season – and don't count on that – the Hawks will have less than $30 million to fill out the rest of the roster (and that's not taking into account Niklas Hjalmarsson's $4.1 million, Artem Anisimov's $4.6 million or Bryan Bickell's $4 million).
So you can expect one of two things: 1) Chicago's roster in 2016-17 will feature a lot of cheap prospects and reclamation projects, resulting in a top-heavy collection that will see a bunch of ice time. 2) One or two of the Big 6 has to go. Read more
Los Angeles Kings vs. Anaheim Ducks: Mascot Showdown!
In the third and final installment of our NHL playoff quarterfinal match-up Mascot Showdown, it's the L.A. Kings' Bailey against the Anaheim Ducks' Wild Wing. In the first two clashes, Montreal's Youppi romped over Boston's Blades, while Chicago's Tommy Hawk got the best of Minnesota's Nordy. That means Game 1 in each series has been claimed by the team whose mascot won the THN.com showdown (not including the Penguins' Iceburgh, who got a walk because the Rangers don't employ a mascot). Coincidence? I'll leave that up to you. Read more
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Minnesota Wild: Mascot Showdown!
In the first edition of our Mascot Showdown yesterday, Montreal's Youppi! dominated Boston's Blades, getting two thirds of the fan vote. And since the Penguins' Iceburgh gets a walk since the Rangers don't employee a plush-covered prodder, we move on to the Chicago Blackhawks and the Minnesota Wild. Which team's mascot is better? Read more
Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens: Mascot Showdown!
The series between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens will be settled on the ice, but the "who's the better mascot" war will be settle right here, right now. It's Blades vs. Youppi!. Who's better? Read more
Why are the Penguins struggling? It's not Fleury; Crosby & Co. are to blame
The big question mark coming into this series (other than, perhaps, how many games would it take for the Penguins to dispose of the Blue Jackets) was whether Marc-Andre Fleury could shake his recent playoff demons and take his team on a deep playoff run. And surely, after misplaying the puck to allow a late tying maker and letting in the OT-softy that has this series knotted at two, most will say he's still haunted.
But if you're looking to place blame, look at the big-name forwards in front of him first.
Coming off a sweep at the hands of the Bruins last year, where the Pens managed a total of two goals, the stars have once again gone AWOL: Sidney Crosby, zero goals. Evgeni Malkin, zero goals. James Neal, one goal. Read more
Matt Cooke gets seven games. Let the outrage begin…
The judgement has come down and the Minnesota Wild's Matt Cooke (a.k.a. The Most Hated Man In Hockey) has been given a seven-game ban for kneeing Tyson Barrie in Game 3, which put the Colorado D-man out 4-to-6 weeks with an MCL injury.
Stephane Quintal, the NHL's new sheriff, explained the decision as such:
Not surprisingly, the consensus among pundits and non-Wild fans is the suspension was too short, far too short. But the league got this one about right. Read more
You make the call: should Tampa Bay's disallowed goal have counted?
The Montreal Canadiens deserve full credit for their Game 3 win – and their 3-0 series lead – against Tampa Bay, but if you're a Lightning player, coach or fan, you've got to wonder if things would have taken a different turn had Ryan Callahan's goal with less than five minutes left in the second period counted instead of being waived off for goalie interference.
I, like most people, thought at first that the goal should have counted, but after digging into Rule 69.3 (after reading a tweet from former NHL referee turned TSN analyst Kerry Fraser), I started to waiver.
Rule 69.3 states… Read more

|J.G. Wentworth
The J.G. Wentworth Company is a diversified consumer financial services company. The Company is focused on providing direct-to-consumer access to financing needs through a variety of solutions, including: mortgage lending and refinancing, personal and business lending, annuities and structured settlement payment purchasing, and prepaid cards.[1][2] The firm is currently traded publicly on the OTCQX (Symbol: JGWE).[3]
In the United States the company is most commonly known for its advertising commercials that feature "Mr. Wentworth",[4] but more recent commercials include a Wagnerian Opera singer.[5]
The tagline featured in the commercials is "It's your money, use it when you need it!"
J.G. Wentworth was Founded in 1991 as a merchant bank specializing in transactions in the healthcare industry.[6][7] In 1992 the company began to purchase New Jersey's auto insurance deferrals from claimants who could not afford to wait 12 to 18 months for their settlements.[8]
By the late 1990s, JGW began to focus on the structured settlement and annuity business.[9] JGW has issued 34 securitizations, which are backed by both structured settlements and annuities receivables totaling over US $2.3 billion.[10] In July 2012, the company completed $169.5 million securitization of notes that were backed by structured settlement and fixed annuity payments.[11] The earliest securitization of 2012 was in March, for US $244 million with Class A notes rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by DBRS.[12] Since 1992 JGW has purchased US $4 billion in future payment obligations from consumers.[13] As of November 2010, the company has completed a US $212 million securitization consisting of two classes of notes: Class A notes rated Aaa and Class B notes rated A2 by Moody's Investors Service,[14] in addition to a Residual Class of US $14.8 million retained by the Company.
Prior to 1999 there was no state regulation for structured settlements in the state of New York. Eliot Spitzer entered into a contract with J.G. Wentworth to help protect New Yorkers from selling their settlements at exorbitant rates. The agreement stipulated that J.G. Wentworth could receive a rate of no more than 25 percent of the annual discount rate of annuities it had purchased from a citizen of the state of New York.[15] At the time, a JGW executive told the New York Times that the firm sought the agreement because of the rate at which its business had grown in recent years.[16]
In 2015, J.G. Wentworth began expanding their financial offerings by purchasing WestStar Mortgage for $54 Million in cash and Class A common shares. In the same year, the company also announced a partnership with Visa to offer a prepaid card to customers, as well as a partnership with Avant to connect callers looking for loans and other financial assistance not previously offered by J.G. Wentworth.[17]
Commercials and awards[edit]
The commercials that run on daytime television in the United States featuring "Mr. Wentworth" are how the company is best known. They have had many series of commercials with Mr. Wentworth; however the most recent series includes a Wagnerian Opera singer, also known as the Viking singer.[18] The tagline featured in the commercials is "It's my money and I need it now!", and "It's your money, use it when you need it!"
JGW has won several awards both domestically and internationally for their television advertising, including a silver Davey award.[19] The commercials feature a singing "Opera" star who recites in a deep voice "if you get long-term payments but you need cash now!". The "Wagnerian Opera" commercial won two International Summit Awards for Best Humor and Best TV between US $75k and US $100k.[20][21]
During the financial crisis of 2009, the firm known as JGW Holdco LLC and two of its subsidiaries, J.G. Wentworth LLC and J.G. Wentworth Inc., entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the company "encountered liquidity problems amid a tightening credit market".
Less than six months later, parent company JLL Partners of New York invested $100 million in the firm.[22] Subsequently, J.G. Wentworth began hiring new staff at corporate headquarters located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Since the crisis, JGW has since increased staff to 178 employees.[23] In October 2013, the firm filed for an IPO,[24] which was offered the subsequent month (November).
On June 20th 2016, J.G. Wentworth Withdrew their stock from the New York Stock Exchange to begin trading on OTCQX by the OTC Markets Group under the symbol JGWE. [25]
J.G. Wentworth Brands and Subsidiaries[edit]

Brunch + Bakery....Brunchery?
4524 Saint Laurent Blvd Montreal, QC H2T1N4
If you're into brunch, pastries, bread, or coffee, then I highly suggest you read on. Hof Kelsten has been on my "must try" list for a while now, and I finally made it there this weekend for brunch and some baked goods to-go of course. Two of my favourite things under the same roof!
When you walk into the small, but hip space, you're immediately drawn-in by the scent (and sight) of freshly baked breads, pastries, and COFFEE.
|Short & Sweet Brunch Menu
|OJ and Coffee
|Smoked Salmon Sandwich
|Iced Coffee
|Pastries To-Go!
Overall, Hof's has already successfully built a name for themselves in the Montreal bakery/brunch world. If you're smart, your next cheat day will be spent here. After all, they do provide some of Montreal's BEST restaurants with their homemade bread. And if it's good enough for Joe Beef, it's good enough for me!
Reservations: Nope- order at the counter and hope a seat opens up!

Marked decrease in the incidence and prevalence of hepatitis A in the Basque Country, Spain, 1986–2004
The aim of this study was to determine changes in the epidemiology of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in the Basque Country, Spain, and to evaluate their implications for vaccination strategies. A total of 1356 persons were enrolled in a study of the prevalence of anti-HAV in 2004 and compared with two previous studies (1986–1987 and 1992). The selection method and the characteristics of the population were similar in the three studies. A marked decline in the seroprevalence in all age groups (P<0·001) and in the incidence of cases/100000 inhabitants (from 38·0 in 1986–1988 to 2·9 in 2002–2004) were observed. The mean age of patients with hepatitis A increased from 17·7 years in 1986–1992 to 21·2 years in 1993–1998 and 25·3 years in 1999–2004 (P<0·001). Between 1997 and 2004, 20% of patients were hospitalized. The changes observed have occurred rapidly causing a change in the epidemiological pattern from middle-high endemicity (1986) to low endemicity (2004).(Accepted May 16 2006)

Iran slashes cost of local currencyJuly 08,2013
TEHRAN — Iran's central bank is allowing most importers to buy local currency at half the former official price as part of attempts to attract investors to an economy battered by Western sanctions.
The effective devaluation of the Iranian rial comes as other proposals are being floated to boost commerce, including possibly waiving taxes for foreign companies.
Sanctions over Iran's nuclear program have hit the country's vital oil exports and blocked transactions on international banking networks. Inflation is running at more than 25 percent.
The central bank offered most importers an exchange rate of 24,779 rials for $1 on Sunday, a day after the official announcement. That compares with the previous government-set rate of 12,260 rials.
The unofficial street rate, however, remains considerably higher, at about 33,000 rials per U.S. dollar.

A man arrested for sexually assaulting a teen patient while working at a West Columbia medical facility now is accused of practicing as a nurse without a license. Kerston Kyle Turner (photo provided) Kerston Kyle Turner, 28, of Linde Lane in Lugoff, now faces a charge of unlicensed practice as a nurse and licensed practical nurse. Turner was arrested and charged with engaging a child younger than 18 in a sexual performance and first-degree assault and battery. Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives say that on Jan. 14 Turner presented himself as a nurse to a 16-year-old boy and the boy's mother while Turner provided medical services, which were not medically necessary, to the boy. Turner is accused of performing "unlawful services on the 16-year-old boy that were outside the scope of Turner's certification as a certified nursing assistant and constituted a sexual assault," according to Sheriff James Metts. Turner was licensed to work only as a certified nursing assistant, according to the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

Standard Bottle
This water bottle is your typically plastic bottle. What's really nice about this bottle is the Competitive Cyclist logo and that you are able to freeze this bottle. I love the freeze feature on those really hot summer days. I've had this bottle for a long time and I haven't had any leaking issues, it still works great and is a go for my biking hydration!

The Center for Musical Development has an ensemble for adults, 18 to 80+ who want to develop their musical skills and play together: Late Starter's Orchestra!!--a concept begun in London, developed in New York City by Ari Goldman. Now adults in the greater Springfield area have the opportunity to gather together and play music. The goal here is to create a fun, supportive, noncompetitive environment for adults to participate in collective music-making.
LSO is not intended for complete beginners. Participants should have basic music reading skills and a willingness to commit to the group. There are no auditions, just a conversation/placement discussion with the conductor. All strings, woodwind, percussion and brass players welcome. This opportunity to refresh your skills and make music with others will help you develop as a player and have some fun!
If you would like to begin an instrument or improve your playing skills the CMD offers lessons at Wittenberg in Krieg Hall at a very reasonable rate with excellent instructors.
Conductor: Evalind Pickering - String instructor and conductor in the Clark Shawnee School District. Winner of the first Springfield Symphony Music Educator of the Year Award and a violinist herself.
One hour rehearsals are held in Room 302 Krieg Hall on the Wittenberg campus, corner of Ward and Woodlawn on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. Krieg Hall is wheelchair accessible.
Cost: $100 for the quarter, includes registration fee. Special rates for CMD students. More local performance planned.
