Citizens Bank Overdraft Fee Settlement
|Email Print
Citizens Bank is the latest bank to reach a settlement for overdraft fees, a wave of settlements that started sometime last year. The Bank of America settlement and Fifth Third Bank settlement had previously been covered here. Citizens Bank, along with many other banks, was accused of reordering customers' transactions in order to maximize overdraft fee revenue, a common tactic used a few years ago in order to increase fee revenue. Citizens Bank is the 13th bank to reach a settlement.
Citizens Bank will pay $137.5 million to settle the lawsuit (In re Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, case number 09-cv-02036 in Miami). I'll update with settlement details, how you can get your fair share of the settlement, and website information as soon as the settlement is approved and those details are made clear. Right now, the settlement hasn't been approved so there's really no point is reviewing the details because they could change at a later date.
If it's anything like the Bank of American settlement, it'll take several months before the settlement is approved and even longer to figure out how much each person gets. At this point, the only thing to do is wait (and decide if you want to opt out). In the case of Bank of America, payments and account credits were automatically issued from the settlement fund after Court-approved disbursements were remove, for laywers and the like. Citizens is a much smaller bank but the settlement fund is smaller too, $137.5 million for Citizens versus $410 million in the BoA fund.{ 99 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

This letter is in response to Aaron Lade's letter about smokers butts on the beach. Yes I do agree about that and general pollution of our lake. But I do not agree that all people smoke because they are stress, depressed or unhappy.
If you take a better look at when the most butts or trash are all over our town, it is in peak tourist season. Maybe we should focus more on the tourist who come up to our lake with no regard.
I smoke and am very active. Whenever you see me snowboarding, playing disc and ball golf, jumping off of rocks, etc., you will find my butts in my pockets or backpack.
So don't be so biased against all people who smoke, especially the ones who live in your town. There are a lot of us who respect the lake and other people.

Faith Christian School Senior Leadership Showcase 2013 displayed a variety of proposals, projects, and missions with the potential to have short-term and long-term impact among the local, national or international populations. Fourteen members of the Senior Class connected their education and personal passions, while addressing essential needs within communities. Students were given an eight-month period to identify a mentor, conduct research, develop a proposal, prepare a budget, market the plan, implement the plan, and report the impact.
Brittany Williams collected and distributed thousands of toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste to children in Kenya, Costa Rica, and Mexico as part of her project, Teeth for Tomorrow. Teeth for Tomorrow raised awareness regarding the importance of the link between oral hygiene and health, as well as awareness of oral cancer. Olivia Cook hosted a Glam-a-Thon during which she raised $400. Proceeds were donated to Madison's Foundation for individuals with retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy. Ruth Hawley hosted a Walk for the Children, during which she generated $472, which was donated to Give Kids the World, a non-profit organization that exists only to fulfill the wishes of all children with life-threatening illnesses. Bethany Hunter collected toys and DVDs for children hospitalized at Summerville Medical Center. Josh Nelson hosted an on-campus basketball camp, while Timothy Tran hosted 'Train with Tran' Football Camp. Mitchell McDaniel hosted a community event at Pepperidge Elementary School. Sarah Jalbert held a soccer clinic with emphasis on the importance of outside play. Sarah Hoag hosted Bounce for Freedom, a Saturday event to raise funds for a local home/shelter for women and children who are victims of sex trafficking. Her event featured jump castles and refreshments for purchase and raised $150.
Mallori Luttrell has a desire to help people build confidence and identify their talents. Miss Luttrell hosted a talent show with 14 acts and raised more than $200, which was donated to Youth With a Mission. According to Miss Luttrell, "Me personally, I have a passion for music, singing, etc. So, my thoughts were to hold a talent show, not where anyone was considered a 'winner,' but where students could just show the talents that God has blessed them with in order to bring him glory."
FCS Senior Class members have completed their eight-month mission, impacting communities locally and abroad on various levels. At the conclusion of the showcase, the students issued the challenge to the audience to develop personal ideas for impacting a community, with the reminder that when one impacts one life, one impacts the world.

It was another busy week here at Microsoft so Laura & Paul got right to the meat of it and delivered these stories:
Bing loves football (and ESPN)
Oops, something didn't work.
Taint no link to vote for anything on this here page.
Also glad Foy is back.
Happy foy is back as well.
Laura and Paul's outfits make them look like they are from the matrix. That will be a cool back ground for the show. You should use the raining greed code from the matrix.
Yay Ping!
Paul's lack of football knowledge makes my soul ache... like, I feel physical pain where my soul should be. But apart from that, t'was another excellent show.
Anyone think the first backdrop was insane? and what ever happened to that studio renevation? It best look like the Minority Report, that would make Ping real classy!
@MadLibrarian: OMG Where did you find that avatar pic???
@MaximusPaynicus: I am with you Maximus...Paul needs a beating.
Good discussion about Windows Phone jailbreaking scene. However I dislike the fact that some of us are treated as second rate customers. I live in the EU and unfortunately my country is not supported in the WP7 developer app hub. The thing that irritates me is that I can't submit my apps to the Microsoft Marketplace, I can't buy any apps and the worst thing about it I can't even load the apps I make to test on my phone because it can't be developer unlocked without jailbreaking. My WP7 phone was not cheap, actually I payed more than I would have in the US. I hope Microsoft steps up their game and makes this platform on pair with the competition globally.
/rant off
Good to see you back Laura, go Packers!
I agree with you aseymour, that first backdrop was mental!
When is your new studio going to be ready, or is this your new studio? I thought you said this was a temporary home for a few weeks.
Edit: You didn't post the link to vote on the Nineys
Nice, love PING! :)
But next time, please lay off the special effects, I almost got a seizure. LMFAO
@Alex Dresko: Here's the link to VOTE!
The video quality was really bad up until 6:06 when it cut to another segment and it all got clear again, even on the HQ .WMV. It got bad again at 14:26.
The thing those points in time had in common is that the backgrounds where animated. The black and white flashing one caused the quality to go WAY down more than just the green Ping logo.
I like that Paul doesn't care about football
No story about Google's insults to Microsoft (Bing)?
I'd love to hear a statement from Microsoft regarding this matter.
'Foy with the Boy' is good.
Boy on Foy ;)
Glad for me that i'm from germany @Marko89 here are the phones "supported".
Here are some links to funny and maybe usable vids for your show
But be carefull, once you are on the page... it'll take time till you can leave because its so good
ok... i don't know why but he's not parsing this url right xD http://z0r.de/1806">http://z0r.de/1806
@wuerzelchen:haha, thanks for these! Unfortunately, we'd need to have some original work that can be released royalty free for us to include it as a backdrop.

Fear and failure may sound like odd cornerstones to success.
Yet those two concepts are very much a part of building a successful future, Raphael James told his audience of fifth grade boys during a special event held Thursday night at Summerbrook Community Church in Summerville.
The event was the first annual GENTS Build Your Own Burger Banquet, a special father/son dinner catered by FES corporate partner in education Logan's Roadhouse.
GENTS, an initiative started by FES teacher Jody Gerhardt, stands for Gentlemen Effectively Navigating Toward Success. It is a year-long elective for fifth grade boys. The idea is to expose them to a variety of educational and community service opportunities to help them gain self confidence for the next phase of their school careers – middle school – and their lives.
"I've always wanted to do this," Gerhardt said of her fledgling program. "I want them to leave here feeling confident – if they have confidence, then they make better decisions and better choices."
Principal Donna Goodwin agreed.
"It's about helping them gain self respect and respect for others," she said. "We feel that GENTS is a great direction for our fifth grade boys – our goal is to prepare them with the tools they need to be successful, confident, and happy."
James, a local television news anchor and father of three, told the boys that they need to learn to face their fears and embrace their failures in order to achieve success.
James talked about his son, who lives with autism. James told the group that people with autism have sensory issues – certain sounds, smells, textures can cause extreme distress.
In his son's case, James said the problem was water; his son did not like water on his face or head. However, he did overcome that, a little at a time.
"One thing I really admire about my son is that there is something inside of him that won't let him stop," James said.
James talked about getting involved with a group that works with autistic children by teaching them how to ride surfboards in the ocean. However, in order to get some children ready for such a moment, it is often advisable to get them used to the idea a little at a time, such as maybe sitting in a bath.
James said he bought a plastic wading pool and the entire family spent an afternoon dipping their faces in the water trying to show his son there was nothing to fear.
"He was not having any of it," James said. However, at the end of the afternoon, as everyone was getting out, the boy suddenly dipped his face in the water.
The next day, he stood in front of the pool and asked his mother, "Water, please."
"He faced his fear and conquered it," James said. "We were ecstatic – this was huge for him."
More importantly, however, it taught James that as this boy's father, there was nothing in the world he could possibly fear.
James also talked about failure and the fact that many people won't try to do new things and ultimately don't follow their dreams because they fear failure. He talked about his time in basic training in the army and the difficulty he had passing the physical training test because he could not quite perform 42 pushups. Then a friend gave him a piece of advice -- that he should aim to do fifty pushups rather than the required 42.
"What happened was that I passed 42 with no problem," he said, admitting that he finally hit the wall at around pushup number 48. So as it turned out, he passed his PT test with no trouble and he learned a very important lesson: most of the time, failure is all in the mind, he said.
"Forget perfect," James said. "Life is a struggle for everybody – nobody has it perfect. It's how we handle struggle that's important."

Lydia McLaughlin on Real Housewives of Orange County Costars: 'Those Women are Intense'
But now, just halfway through her maiden season, she admits that she may have been a bit naïve when she climbed aboard the reality TV ranks.
"It is more difficult than I thought it would be!" she told PEOPLE while attending Corolle's Adopt-a-Doll event in Los Angeles on Saturday.
"I was just like, 'Yeah, what do I have to lose?! What would people not like about me?! I'm just going to be myself, and I'm going to be positive, and have a different type of voice!'"
It was an inspired, if not somewhat innocent approach to the Bravo franchise, one that was quickly tested by fellow cast members Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney.
"When everyone is screaming and yelling, you really can't win in this type of show," the 32-year-old admitted. "It's intense, and those women are intense and they have an opinion, and that's what they've been on the air for so long."
McLaughlin also revealed that the bold personalities and on-screen standoffs aren't the result of editing.
"I think that the ladies are genuinely who they are on the show, and that there isn't a lot of acting," she says. "In some degree some of the worst drama actually happened when the cameras went down."

After taking the last two years off for "training," Brian Oun was ready to down some Peeps Saturday at the Broadway Market.
Oun won the first Peep-eating contest five years ago. He lost badly the next year, and took a couple of years off.
But the Lancaster man was back Saturday, wearing a T-shirt that said "Chillin' with my Peeps." After his daughters, Elana, 8, and Elyse, 10, competed in their age group, Oun again won top honors by downing 11 of the pink and purple marshmallow treats.
But Peeps were just a tiny part of the Broadway Market's best week of the year, which attracted Oun and his wife, Tracy, their daughters, and their son, Elijah, 5 months. More than 200,000 – many from outside the city – will patronize the Broadway Market this Easter season, picking up sausage and ham, pierogis and pussy willows, colored eggs, butter lambs and more.
For many, it is a family affair.
Lynn Jakubowski of Batavia bought Easter cookies, pussy willows, flavored nuts, and a onesie with "You bet your dupa I'm Polish!" printed on it for her first grandchild. Jakubowski and her family ran into her aunt and cousins, greeting them with big hugs. Her aunt, Hilda Dylag of Corfu, was stepping and hopping to the Polka music while she was waiting. She came with her daughters, Linda Yohn of Corfu and Jane Bergmann of Clarence. Yohn said she brought her children every year, too, until they moved out of the house.
"I used to come with my mother on the bus," recalled 82-year-old Janet Mrozek of Lancaster, who made her holiday trip with her two sons and grandchildren.
"We make every effort to come," she said. "It's a unique experience – all the wonderful people, the young children, the delight in their faces!"
She went home with sausage, bread, chrusciki (traditional Polish cookies) and chocolates.
Little Evelyn Caughel of Angola went home happy with a dragonfly made out of white and orange balloons by Chex the Balloon Guy, aka Paul Schuler.
"Last year when we came up, he said he was done for the day," her mother, Melissa, said. "She remembered that."
Caughel said it was more fun Saturday than last year's trip, when she and her husband brought Evelyn, her brother, Ian, 2, and sister, Emelia, who was then just a week old. They enjoy carrying on the family tradition.
"I went when I was a kid. My mom grew up around here and went every Sunday," she said, as she wondered whether her children would do the same when they have their own families.
"If they stay around here, I hope they do."
Back at the Peep-eating contest, Oun had popped the 11th Peep into his mouth when "Mr. Peepers," the contest emcee, called time after 60 seconds, so he doesn't think it should count, but no one else had come close.
What did it take to win?
"I drank a quart of olive oil, took a shot of insulin," he quipped, before confessing he ate a regular lunch before coming to the market.
Other age group winners were Chris Trzaska, 6, Reily Wood, 11, and Tajh Barber, 14. Reily and Tajh each ate eight of the marshmallow chicks.
The first stop Saturday for the Ouns was the Peep-eating contest, where Elana and Elyse tried their hands in their age group. After Oun recovered his Peep-eating skills Saturday, the whole family accompanied him to the market office, where he was presented with a certificate, a basket of candy and a basketball for recapturing the adult Peep-eating title he won five years ago.
The Ouns consider themselves market "lifers."
Tracy Oun remembers coming with her parents, then the couple began seeing each other.
"We've been coming here together for 16 or 17 years," Brian Oun said. "It's just fun."
Market workers are quick to point out that the market is open year-round. Hours of operation this week are today, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ELIDA - Needless to say, the Mohawk volleyball team and its faithful fans were not the only ones who were disappointed Wednesday night when the squad was ousted from the Division IV regional semifinal by McComb.
So was Buckeye Central coach Bill Bonham.
Bonham and his team were expecting to see the Warriors in the regional final Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Elida Fieldhouse.
After beating Cardinal Stritch in the regional opener Wednesday night, the Buckeye Central players stuck around to watch the first game between Mohawk and McComb. And they saw what Bonham had anticipated, Mohawk whipping McComb 25-14. So the players got on the bus and headed back for New Washington while Bonham stayed behind to continue his scouting report.
It was a good thing he did or he'd have gone home with the same impression his team did: they were playing Mohawk.
They're still playing an MHS and a black and red team, but that's about the end of the similarities.
"Yeah, I had in my head what we were going to do with Mohawk. Our girls were thinking Mohawk in their head and what they need to do. I'm thinking the whole match Mohawk, and lo and behold, it gets turned around," Bonham said. "So in game four, I told my wife, I have to start looking at McComb, I guess, and start finding their weaknesses. It definitely threw a curveball there and we're going to have to do our best to try to recover and make the most of it. The scouting report is a little out the window."
McComb coach Leslie Kahle said her team will have its hands full on Saturday.
"Buckeye Central is an outstanding program from a very great league. They are historically a very strong team," Kahle said. "We know that they have scouted us and they're going to come out with their A game as well. My hope is that the girls do exactly what they did (Wednesday night) and play with guts and determination and drive us to state."
While McComb has made it to the regional final before (two years ago), this is not unfamiliar territory for the Buckettes, who last made it to this point in 2008 on their way to the state tournament. It is, however, the first time Bonham has guided the team this far.
"To say you're one game away from going to state (is exciting). Who gets to say that? A lot of teams would be excited to go to state," Bonham said. "How many can say they're a game away? In the famous words of some reporter that I know, Mohawk was expected to get back to state again this year. That's going to be motivation in practice. I love being the underdog. But as far as being in regional finals, that's awesome."
It's just another step for a Buckettes team that has exceeded goals.
"This team has gone beyond any expectations we ever thought we could achieve: undefeated NCC season again; get through districts as easily as we did," Bonham said. "I'm not taking anything away from Monroeville or St. Paul, but we had a very comfortable and confident district."
Buckeye Central doesn't bring the height to the table that the Panthers have but Kahle said that doesn't mean it's a slam dunk.
"No, they don't (have a lot of height) but they are extremely intelligent. Our height, as I've said all year, is definitely a plus for us, and our athleticism combined with that is outstanding," Kahle said. "Our height is an advantage for us but I take our height as just another part of our game. A good team like Buckeye Central is going to know how to use what they have against us."
Bonham said the key will be attack, attack, attack.
"They're a big team, there's no doubt about that. They put up a big block and they have some hitters who can hit all over the place. They showed that they can hit from the right side, which a lot of high school teams don't do. So we're going to have to prepare for that and get our left-side blockers blocking a little bit and ready to cover that," Bonham said. "With their size, we saw when Mohawk attacked them that their defense wasn't that strong. Mohawk quit attacking and went to a lot of tipping. That allowed McComb to get momentum and allowed them to get some rhythm and allowed them to attack the ball. We're still going to have go through what we need to do and stay aggressive and keep attacking. That's all there's going to be to it."
As far as motivation, it won't matter the foe.
"We're one step away from state and that's going to have to be their motivation at this point," Bonham said.

Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples admits his Post-Spring Top 25 is a "nerdy" college football ranking. But that didn't stop his SI.com attempt found here.
The top 10 goes like so:
1. Alabama
2. Texas A&M
3. Stanford
4. Ohio State
5. Notre Dame
6. Oregon
7. South Carolina
8. Louisville
9. Florida
10. Clemson
Note that Staples essentially has South Carolina in the SEC Championship Game and picks Clemson over (No. 12) Florida State as the top team in the ACC.

Friday, October 4, 2013
Engineer Brandon Bryant, 25, of Summerville has been a firefighter for seven years. One year with St. John's Fire department on John's Island, one year with Ladson and C & B and five with Summerville - in two parts.
He was fired from Summerville Fire Department after a year. Was he a bad firefighter? No, he simply couldn't manage to get to work on time…ever.
Has he been late since?
"Nope! I have never been late since then, in fact I get here early — it was a real wake-up call for me," says Bryant.
Good thing it was, because otherwise he would have failed to carry on the family tradition.
His great grandfather, grandfather, father and uncle all have been firefighters.
His great grandfather was with the Naval Shipyard. His grandfather has retired as chief of C & B. His dad is a Battalion Chief with Summerville Fire Department and his uncle is a captain with North Charleston Fire Department.
And Brandon is now on time for work.
He is, he says, the 24th member of his family to be a firefighter.
He works at Station 3 on Trolley Road and he drives a truck. If first on scene, he is in charge of pumping, which takes a sharp and quick brain able to do the mathematical calculation to determine hose diameter vs. friction vs. water pressure, etc. If not first on scene, he says he could be working a hydrant or on the RIT team (Rapid Intervention Team).
In addition to his basic firefighter training and all the in-house updates and refresher training, he is also certified as a Haz-Mat tech on the Special Ops team.
He says he has been lucky and has not experienced any really bad fires. His first structure fire, he says, was while he was working at C & B Fire Department.
"We were toned out and first on scene," he recalls, "trying to extinguish the fire and seeing the family there in tears really brought home to the job and what we do."
And then, last April, he and his best friend, Ryan Howlett, also a firefighter with SFD, came upon a car vs. tractor-trailer.
"We saw the smoke from the tractor-trailer's brakes and saw it had hit the car and we stopped. I parked the car and called for emergency vehicles and Ryan got the woman in the [crushed] car out and I helped carry her off the highway."
The woman's car had caught fire, he said.
Bryant and Howlett were honored by SFD last May for their heroism.
When he is not getting to work on time, Bryant likes hanging out at home or with Howlett.
He loves auto racing, college football — a Clemson fan — kayaking, video games and go-carts.
"I tried fishing, but was not so good at it," he laughs.
His dad used to race at Summerville Speedway. When he was a teen, he used to race go-carts. His had a souped-up motor and he loved racing it until his dad sold it.
He says he would like to at least make captain in the fire department. As far as his personal life, marriage and a family, "if it happens, it happens."
I love my job…I wouldn't have come back if I didn't love it."

How to make the most of your wedding registry
Registering for wedding gifts can be a lot of fun. I remember the heady feeling that accompanied wielding the scanner gun. Choosing your own wedding presents — what could go wrong?
But my husband and I soon found ourselves pointing the barcode reader at increasingly silly items, some of which we actually received. I'm sad to say that many of the gifts we registered for were donated to the thrift shop two or three years later, after we realized that they were just taking up room in the apartment.

Relying on their top-notch songwriting and impeccable vocals,
the Bee Gees
were able to craft a long-running career that began in the late '50s in Australia. Along the way they became a hit-producing psychedelic pop group in England during the '60s, the biggest disco band in the world in the '70s, and had a late comeback as adult contemporary crooners in the '90s. Their long-reaching influence extended past sales figures and saw their sound and style mirrored in acts as disparate as Justin Timberlake and of montreal.
The group was also music's most successful brother act.
Barry Gibb
, born on September 1, 1946, in Manchester, England, and his fraternal twin brothers
Robin Gibb
Maurice Gibb
, born on December 22, 1949, on the Isle of Man, were three of five children. The three of them gravitated toward music, encouraged by their father, who saw his sons at first as a diminutive version of
the Mills Brothers
. The three Gibb brothers made their earliest performances at local movie theaters in Manchester in 1955, singing between shows. The family moved to Australia in 1958, resettling in Brisbane. Now known as the
Brothers Gibb
-- with
writing songs -- they attracted the attention of a local DJ, and eventually got their own local television show. It was around this time that they took on the name
the Bee Gees
Brothers Gibb
). The trio was astoundingly popular in the press and on television, but actual hit records eluded them.
By late 1966, they'd decided to return to England -- which, thanks to
the Beatles
, was now the center of the world for rock and popular music. The group had sent demo recordings ahead of them, and "Spicks & Specks" -- which became their first Australian hit while they were in mid-ocean -- had attracted the interest of manager
Robert Stigwood
. The trio was signed by
upon their arrival, and began shaping their sound in the environment of Swinging London.
Robin Gibb
alternated the lead vocal spot, harmonizing together and with
played rhythm guitar, while
played bass, piano, organ, and Mellotron, among other instruments. Their first English recording, "New York Mining Disaster 1941," an original by the group with a haunting melody and a strangely surreal, almost psychedelic ambience, was released in mid-1967 and made the Top 20 in England and America. They had successful follow-ups with "Holiday" and "To Love Somebody," the latter actually written for
Otis Redding
to record, and "Massachusetts," which topped the U.K. charts.
Bee Gees' 1st
, the Gibb brothers took over producing their own records. It was easy, amid the sheer beauty of their recordings, to overlook the range of influences that went into their sound, which came from a multitude of sources, including American country music and soul music. At this point in their history, they were most comfortable deconstructing elements in the singing and harmonies of black American music and rebuilding them in their style.
In 1969, the trio split up in a dispute involving the
album. A lushly orchestrated double LP, it was their most ambitious recording to date, but they were unable to agree on which song would be the single, and
walked out.
held on to
the Bee Gees
name for one LP,
Cucumber Castle
, while
Robin's Reign
. Without a group to promote it, the
album never sold the way it might have, even with a hit, "First of May."
Cucumber Castle
generated several successful singles in England and Germany, including the gorgeous, African-influenced "I.O.I.O.," while
had a hit with "Saved by the Bell."
In 1970, almost two years older and a good deal wiser, they decided to get back together. They related to each other better and had also evolved musically, now creating a progressive pop/rock sound similar to the Moody Blues. They came back on a high note with two dazzling songs: the soulful "Lonely Days," the group's first number one hit in America; and the achingly lyrical "Morning of My Life," which proved so popular with fans that the group was still doing it in concert decades later.
Their success began to ebb, however, after another huge international hit with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" in 1971. The single "Run to Me" made the Top 20 in 1972, but the album
To Whom It May Concern
was forgotten almost instantly after a brief chart run. Their fortunes continued in reverse during 1973 with
Life in a Tin Can
and the single "Saw a New Morning" -- despite a move to America and a heavy promotional push, the song never made the Top 40 and the album stalled out.
The trio was falling into a deep creative and commercial hole. Rescue came from a suggestion by
Eric Clapton
, that they try recording at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, where he had just cut an album.
The Bee Gees
took his advice and came back with
Mr. Natural
(1974), produced by
Arif Mardin
. This record was a departure with its heavily Americanized R&B sound, and the following year they plunged headfirst into the new sound with
Main Course
-- the emphasis was now on dance rhythms, high harmonies, and a funk beat. And spearheading the new sound was
Barry Gibb
, who, for the first time, sang falsetto and discovered that he could delight audiences in that register. "Jive Talkin'," the first single off the album, became their second American number one single, and was followed up with "Nights on Broadway" and then the album
Children of the World
, which yielded the hits "You Should Be Dancing" and "Love So Right." Then, in 1977, their featured numbers on the soundtrack to the
Robert Stigwood
Saturday Night Fever
, "Stayin' Alive," "How Deep Is Your Love," and "Night Fever," each topped the charts, even as the soundtrack album stayed in the top spot for 24 weeks. In the process, the disco era in America was born --
Saturday Night Fever
, as an album and a film, supercharged the phenomenon and broadened its audience by tens of millions, with
the Bee Gees
at the forefront of the music.
It was a profound moment although, ironically, there wasn't that much difference in their sound. Amid the dance numbers,
the Bee Gees
still did a healthy portion of romantic ballads that each offered memorable hooks. They'd simply decided, at
Arif Mardin
's urging, to forget the fact that they were white Englishmen and plunged into soul music, emulating, in their own terms, the funkier Philadelphia soul sounds that all three brothers knew and loved. In one fell swoop, the group had managed to meld every influence they'd ever embraced, from
the Mills Brothers
the Beatles
to early-'70s soul, into something of their own that was virtually irresistible.
Spirits Having Flown
was their crowning commercial triumph, topping 30 million in sales and yielding three more number one singles.
By the end of the '70s, however, the disco era was waning from a combination of the bad economy, political chaos domestically and internationally (leading to the election of Ronald Reagan), and a general burnout of the participants from too many drugs and profligate sex (which would precipitate an epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases and herald the outbreak of AIDS in the United States). There had already been an ad hoc reaction against the group's dominance of the airwaves, with mass burnings of
Bee Gees
posters and albums organized by DJs. The group itself helped contribute to the end of the party with their participation (at
's insistence) in the film
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
, "inspired" (if that's the word) by
the Beatles
' album. The movie was a commercial and critical disaster, and an embarrassment to all concerned.
In America,
the Bee Gees
were virtually invisible for most of the '80s. Instead,
Barry Gibb
pursued work as a producer for other artists, creating hits for
Barbra Streisand
Diana Ross
. By 1987 and the
album, their sales had rebounded everywhere but the United States, yielding a number one single (outside of the U.S.) in "You Win Again." Their 1989 album
got a good reception around the world and generated a Top Ten U.S. single. And in the '90s, Polygram Records released the four-CD anthology
Tales from the Brothers Gibb
, which sold well around the world. The trio's 1997 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame led to a resurgence of interest, which heralded the release of the live album
One Night Only
(1998), cut at their first American concert in almost a decade.
The Bee Gees
remained active until the death of
in January 2003, from cardiac arrest during surgery. Following his death,
decided to cease performing as
the Bee Gees
. Their recorded legacy, however, subsequently became more visible than it had been in decades with the move of their catalog to Warner/Reprise. The latter company began the long-awaited upgraded CD reissue of
the Bee Gees
' post-1966 library, including the first-ever release of outtakes and rehearsal versions of songs.
was diagnosed with and underwent treatment for cancer in 2011. He died in London in May 2012 due to complications from cancer and intestinal surgery; he was 62 years old. Given the previous deaths of Andy (who had several number one hits and who died of an inflammatory heart virus in 1988) and
Maurice Gibb
was the third Gibb brother and second member of
the Bee Gees
to pass away.

Gorgeous little girl.ReplyDelete
Mine just turned 9 months, and it hurts so much that so much time has passed. I can barely remember that tiny being. I'm trying to hold onto these moments tightly
Amazing! And before long, we'll turn around and wonder how they were so tiny at 1 year!ReplyDelete

Look at those adorable kissable cheeks!

Oh I know, it goes SO fast. I look at Liberty sitting up on the art table throwing everything on the floor and can hardly remember that one year ago I was holding such a little baby. Goes far too fast.ReplyDelete
I do not know how time seems to fly right past me! My little one will be 9 months soon, and I almost can't remember those early days of her being so tiny. And she was a *tiny* little muffin. Oh how I want another . . . and another . . .ReplyDelete
I need another now!!!! :)ReplyDelete
ugh, it goes too fast. Thank God for photos...ReplyDelete
That's such a raw and precious photo. I find myself having similar thoughts while looking back to the first pictures of my son, especially pictures of me first nursing him.ReplyDelete
i'm the same way with my Ladybug. i look at her baby pics and can't remember that she was actually that small at some point. Was it just 28.5 months ago that she arrived? Can't be. she's been a part of our lives forever.ReplyDelete
I find the whole pregnancy / new baby thing to be amazingly surreal. I see photos, and I sort of remember it, but it's hard to believe that it actually happened. That I actually birthed these kids. That they were once so tiny.ReplyDelete
It makes me want more, it really does.
Hey, mama. When were you going to mention this?ReplyDelete
Time goes by way way way too fast.ReplyDelete
My lil one is about to be 3 in 4 months and I am having a hard time accepting it. She'll be in school by Fall of 2010...Waaaaah!
I have been having a hard time with mine getting so big myself. Just wrote a post trying to work it all out. Not easy.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean... it doesn't seem like it really could have happened. My Sophia just turned two and I feel like I can barely remember yesterday, much less two years ago.ReplyDelete
That is so sweet!! And now I must go get out the pictures of Big Sister from that time!! Have a great night!ReplyDelete

Your Take: Your Cleverest Money Hacks
|Email Print
Throughout the years, I've seen some clever "money hacks" as a result of just keeping myself aware of the latest trends and tricks in personal finance. I've also had the great pleasure of reading all of your comments through the years and I know you guys are a very clever bunch, so I was curious what money hacks you use to get a little extra. You don't have to be the inventor of the hack or anything like that, but we would love it if you could share it with the rest of us!
I'll go first. My favorite money hack has to be buying coins from the US mint. I haven't actually done this but I think this has to be one of the best money hacks out there. You can use this to get some easy cash back, to break through cash back tiers, or to just help the Mint popularize these $1 coins.
Here are a few more:
- The idea of a financial firewall for security purposes, in case one of your accounts (such as PayPal) gets compromised.
- Here are five bank hacks you may not have known about.
- If you want a way to cut your spending, but your goals on your credit cards!
- Don't pay for ID theft insurance, do it yourself!
So what's your cleverest or favorite money hack?{ 65 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

A new effort is underway to help returning veterans, their families and others close to the soldiers such as co-workers.
A petition was passed around for signatures at the Memorial Day event by the group Purple Star Families.
Organizer and former Marine John Henry Parker said , "We want nationally standardized preparedness resources for the families so they are readily accessible, so they understand what to do prior to homecoming and when it happens. For the veterans, so they can better anticipate what's going on and have been access to care."
Lorenzo Martinez, a Carpinteria vet said, he appreciates the organizers approach which includes those who are near the returning soldiers. "It's hard for the family members too. They are going through this process and still can't get any help."
He says not being able to help a returning vet, whether you are a family member or a co-worker, "it's pretty hard. We still have a lot of work to do for these veterans. The suicide percentage is terrible."
A decorated veteran from both the Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom combat missions, William Rodriguez said, "families serve as the safety net for returning veterans and many don't have the education to understand what the service members are going through when they return home."
He has committed his efforts towards this cause to help other vets avoid what he went through. "I've suffered from post traumatic stress. I've had a lot of sleepless nights because of this," said Rodriguez. "If I can help other veterans to overcome the obstacles that I have faced then that would be an honor."
