Ford Motor Co.'s message on the F-150's new print ad that states, "Fuel economy without power is like fishin' without bait," is clearly targeted at the Chrysler Group's Ram 1500. Ford dominates the pickup segment and it wants to prove it at every chance it gets. The Ram 1500 wasn't named in the ad but Ford takes a jab at its boast of having the best-in-class 25 mpg highway fuel economy.
Ford's new print ad shows a whale-sized empty fishhook. In small letters, it states that F-150s offer the "best combination of towing and fuel economy" at 11,300 lbs. and 22 mpg highway. The 4x2 Ram 1500 fails in comparison. The V-6 4x2 F-150 has a highway fuel economy rating at 25 mpg and has a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 lbs.
On the other hand, Ram's print ads their pickup's 25 mpg. Domestic automakers consider the pickup segment to be very important since it has a huge impact on profits. It's for this reason that the pickup war continues to be contested by Ford, GM, and Chrysler. GM will unveil its new pickups next year. For the past 20 years, the rankings of the three major automakers in this segment have not changed.

The Captain spared a look towards the Ivory Tower. He felt guilty having taken the time to attend the fireworks display while so many other Watchmen continued to patrol the city, many of them working a double shift going into the night. Things would be easier after the first day; with all of the extra manpower he'd gotten from the city's military and Her Ladyship's personal guard he could afford to let some tired Watchmen take time to recuperate. He couldn't help but feel he should have at least checked in one more time before leaving for the estate, just to be sure.
Despite all that he tried to tell himself not to worry. He had his crystal, after all. If there was a problem they could get in touch with him at a moment's notice. The Watch could survive without him looking over it's shoulder for one night.
"Are you listening?" Her Ladyship asked. The Captain blinked and realized that while he knew she'd said something, he hadn't really paid attention to what that something had been.
"What?" He asked, trying to dredge from his memory what it was she'd said. She'd asked a question, he vaguely remembered. Unfortunately, his memory was not up to the task. "Apologies, my lady," he said. "I'm afraid I wasn't listening."
"I thought not," she told him. "So tell me, what is it that has your undivided attention if not a Prince of Marsten?"
"Work," he admitted. "I was thinking about the Watch, and taking the night off when I should be there in case something goes wrong."
"Such dedication," Her Ladyship replied. "It's the thing I admire most about you, dear Captain." The two of them made their way through the crowd that had gathered at her estate, all of them eager to see the upcoming fireworks display. Given that she was putting on the show, and that it was her estate, Her Ladyship had a front row seat for the show. She'd arranged for the Captain to join her, and it was her personal invitation that had drawn him away from the Tower.
"I was asking what you thought of the fair so far," she continued. "It's marvelous, isn't it?"
"It's quite impressive," he agreed. "Especially Heady."
"Ah," she smiled and nodded knowingly. "There is something about flight, isn't there? It took my breath away the first time Bee took me aloft. That was before he'd finished the Headwind, of course. You should have seen the prototype! It was the most dangerously unsafe, rickety, cobbled together thing I'd ever seen!"
"Why in the world would you get into something like that?" The Captain asked, alarmed to learn that Her Ladyship had willingly put her life in danger.
"Well, I only did it after Bee got in it himself. If he was willing to risk his life in that death trap I certainly wasn't going to look the coward."
"Bravado?" he raised his eyebrows. That certainly wasn't a move he would have expected from Her Ladyship. "My lady, half the inventors here are certifiably insane. Any number of them would sit on a pile of gunpowder and tell you in all seriousness that setting it off would propel them to the moon. That they're willing to do so doesn't make me particularly inclined to join them."
"You're far more a realist than any of them," she told him. "It suits you well for the job you do. But it's a dismal quality in an inventor; it doesn't lend to innovation or invention. Some times you have to take a risk and believe that something crazy will work, if you could just believe in it hard enough."
"I think I'll very happily leave the believing of crazy things to others," The Captain said dryly. It was then that several men began moving through the crowd announcing that the show was about to begin. The two joined the rest of the onlookers in turning their eyes to the sky, eagerly awaiting the first bursts of color. Before that happened, however, a pronounced glow against the city's skyline drew The Captain's notice. Was there a building on fire? No, it wasn't the right color. Instead of orange it looked... green?
"What is that?" he muttered. He'd thought it was low enough not to draw attention, but it seemed Her Ladyships ears missed nothing.
"What's what?" she asked just as quietly, though she didn't take her eyes from the sky.
"There's some sort of glow off in that direction," he pointed towards it. "It's bright enough to be a fire, but the color is off."
"Probably something to do with the fireworks," she said distractedly, drawing an excited breath as the first salvo went racing into the sky with a loud and angry hiss.
"No..." he said slowly, leaning forward and squinting as he tried to focus on the glow. Something was wrong about it, he thought. Something about the way it was moving...
The fireworks began popping above, scattering colored light on the crowd below. They "ooh-ed" and cheered and clapped happily.
Wait, it was moving? He watched it for a little while longer, convincing himself that he wasn't just seeing things. "It's coming this way," The Captain warned, rising to his feet in alarm. The words were no sooner out of his mouth than a tendril of green light shot past overhead, passing through the second round of fireworks as they erupted overhead. Some of the crowd mistook it for part of the show and cheered all the louder. Others, like The Captain, turned to follow it's path. He found himself looking back at the Ivory Tower, tendrils of green energy like the one passing overhead winding around it. Storm clouds were brewing above the tower, rotating in place like nothing he'd ever seen.
Her Ladyship also turned to look. "Oh no," she said. "Captain... is that what I think it is?"
"The Summoner," The Captain confirmed grimly. "Somehow Noman's gotten free. Damn it." The crowd had grown silent as more and more people saw the Tower, fireworks forgotten. He pulled his crystal from the pouch on his belt and snapped out the words that would activate it.
"Mercer!" he said urgently, "We have a situation at the Tower, if you hadn't already noticed. Get as many men as you can and head for the Red Manor." He paused, waiting for Mercer's response. "Mercer?" he tried again, wondering why his lieutenant wasn't answering. Any potential response was cut short by the deafening crack-boom of thunder as a bolt of lightning lashed out from the clouds above the Tower. The noise from the first strike hadn't faded before a second bolt of lightning erupted from the clouds, and a third, and a fourth in rapid succession. Dozens of lightning bolts rained down on Marsten, striking targets the width and breadth of the city.
One of the lightning bolts arced over Her Ladyship's estate, forking into two. One fork struck the roof of her mansion. The majority of it's destructive force was captured by a lightning rod, which melted under the unusually intense assault. The second fork struck near the fireworks, setting them off in a riotous explosion of colors. Errant rockets shot out at every angle and the crowd panicked. Someone jostled The Captain's arm, knocking the crystal onto the well manicured grass where it was kicked along by fleeing spectators. He quickly lost sight of the small orb, but knew better than to go after it. He had more immediate concerns right now.
"My lady!" he shouted above the sound of another roll of thunder, "Take your guards and get to a carriage!"
"What?" she demanded. "And go where?"
"As far away from that as possible," he said, gesturing back to the Ivory Tower.
"What will you do?" she asked.
"Somebody has to stop Noman."
"That's what the army is for," she told him.
"The Ivory Tower belongs to the Watch," The Captain protested. "It's our responsibility."
"You have bigger responsibilities," she told him harshly. "This city, these people, they trust the Watch to keep them safe. That's what you need to do. Keep the city under control. Let the army handle the Tower."
The Captain knew she was right, but that didn't mean he liked it. "Fine," he said. "But they'd better see to it quickly."
Hatchet was several blocks away from the Ivory Tower. His pace was brisk; the fireworks show was set to begin soon and he didn't want to be late. As it was he would be lucky to arrive on time. He was, perhaps, halfway there when he saw it. He turned a corner, intending to take a side street shortcut, and suddenly knew that he was not alone. He did a quick survey of the street, but saw no one else. Still, the feeling persisted, and he knew better than to ignore it.
He slowed his pace to a leisurely stroll and carefully swept his gaze up one side of the street and down the other. There were few lamps here and plenty of darkness for people to hide. Off to his right he saw a shadow move. He focussed his eyes on it, hoping to get a better look at whoever lurked there. He saw two green points of light flash in the darkness and froze. His hand immediately went to the crystal pouch on his belt, but his fingers found it empty. He remembered he'd left it in his room back at the Tower when he'd gone off duty. He also remembered his sword and rifle were with the crystal and stifled the urge to curse under his breath, afraid the demon would hear. How it had gone without noticing him was a mystery, but he would rather not tempt fate.
Which left him with the question of what to do. He couldn't call for backup, but he couldn't very well leave the creature to whatever it's goals were. Then again, he couldn't exactly stop it. He watched as it slithered up the street ahead of him, eventually turning down another side street. Without hesitation he started after it. He'd figure out what to do when the time came.
The demon led him through a winding maze of side streets, constantly avoiding places where there might be people to see it. Despite it's indirect route there was no mistaking it's destination - they were headed back to the Tower. The demon approached the Tower's walls from the East, where there were no gates or major streets. In a flash it was up and over the walls, leaving Hatchet behind. Now he did curse aloud; there was no way he could jump the wall, and climbing them was an equally improbable task.
The main gate was the only way he could possibly follow. He broke into a run, following the wall around and hoping he could pick up the creature's tail again but knowing it was probably no use. He barreled through the open main gates at a dead run, only to draw up short as he saw the Tower erupt in a brilliant green glow. Tendrils of green energy shot past overhead, wrapping themselves around it and climbing towards the top. "Noman," he growled darkly. Either the Summoner had somehow gotten out or he had an accomplice.
He started running again, the demon forgotten. His new destination was the Tower's magical holding cells. If Noman was still there he was going to have a lot to answer for.

Truthdigger of the Week: Glenn Greenwald
Posted on Mar 23, 2012
We tip our hats this week to journalist and Salon columnist Glenn Greenwald for having the guts and the smarts to point out certain jarring inconsistencies in the Obama administration's treatment of alleged WikiLeaker Bradley Manning versus accused Afghanistan shooter Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, among other "ironies" in our justice system Greenwald noted Tuesday.
In a relatively short space, Greenwald, who Salon's bio reminds us was previously a constitutional and civil rights litigator, ran down a list of problematic policies and stances that the administration and its supporters have adopted in recent months, touching on the National Defense Authorization Act and the White House's license to kill American citizens; calling out Obama's cheerleaders for supporting actions they'd condemn if and when Bush did them; and zeroing in on the hypocrisy, as he saw it, in the contrast between the government's treatment of Manning and Bales. Both are being held in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where Manning was transferred after 10 months of solitary confinement.
Square, Site wide
Greenwald also devoted some useful column inches to criticizing President Obama and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey for declaring Manning guilty before he even went to trial, noting, "For Obama and Dempsey to proclaim Manning's guilt makes it impossible to imagine how he could receive a fair trial." And for Greenwald to make these points and stay on the administration's case, he's our Truthdigger of the Week.

Of course violence will continue, as long as those outside interests who supply the rebels with guns and ammunition, continue to do so because they could care less whether the wielders of their weapons live or die.

I am so glad that someone stood up to the phony, say one thing and do the opposite, Obama Administration. Obama works for the interest of the financial industry aka Wall Street and the wars are all about installing their control worldwide. He lied to the American people on every issue and now he struts around like his s*** doesn't stink while he serves up the American people to the greed of a few families that think we are cattle.
So done with two the party lie!!

I don't knw why this didn't show up when I submitted it before; I am registered. But here goes again: vector 56 or anybody, could you please tell me if the Crazy Horse 18 killers were disciplined in any way? Do you know if, indeed, they simply resumed their normal lives or if the case is pending? Were any charges brought against them? If noone here knows, can you tell me how to get that information?

I seldom watch the tv news as after a few rah rah's to the government and a bit of coverage of a few deaths or news oddities it is off onto breathless reports of the activites of supposed celebrities. I used to like listening to the news, but not for years now, because it just drones on and on.
It is nice to know there is someone who will point out the inconsistencies and gap between what our government says is true and what is in fact true.
The military-industrial complex is destroying the country with their lies and crimes. For my part in the interests of Democracy Free Bradley Manning and how can I vote for Obama or the Republicans when neither of them believe in the Bill of Rights?
Obama is death by a thousand cuts and the Republicans are death by decapitation. Not much choice in either one, besides at 68 I am tired of giving my votes to the one who might be the lest toxic.

The most important thing he has accomplished has been to expose the hypocrisy of democrats and Obamaphiles for supporting the policies of this administration that they so thoroughly condemned under Bush. The attitude that, its ok when our side does it, is the main reason why the world is in such a mess. These Obama democrats who pride themselves on their moral superiority have no moral standards at all. For them political realities are about as significant as sporting events. Root for your team no matter what. If you don't love America, leave it.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 221151 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 651 AM CDT Mon May 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 422 AM CDT Mon May 22 2017 Closed upper low was centered over northwest Ontario early this morning with several shortwaves rotating cyclonically around the center. An area of rain showers was over much of northwest Wisconsin and portions of east-central Minnesota, with another area of showers in the Red River Valley. A surface low was over Lake Nipigon with a trough arcing westward into southeast Manitoba. The combination of several shortwave troughs rotating around the upper low today and tonight and periods of cold air advection should keep showers in the picture for today and this evening. Shower coverage and intensity will likely increase this afternoon with weak instability developing. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible, as well, and may produce pea-size hail. Rainfall amounts will be lower today than the past few days with up to two-tenths of an inch of rainfall expected and most locales receiving only a few hundredths. Precipitation should trend down tonight with the rain chances becoming more scattered. The upper low will shear overnight resulting in the low dividing into a progressive open wave and a lingering western cutoff low. The cutoff portion of the system is forecast to drift south into northern Iowa by late Tuesday afternoon. Cyclonic flow aloft and several embedded shortwaves will keep shower chances in play through Tuesday afternoon. Think there will be increasing sunshine during the late morning and early afternoon for some locales, including northwest Wisconsin. However, the increasing sunshine and solar heating should lead to a dense cumulus field and numerous rain showers. A few thunderstorms are possible, but they will be weak with pea-size hail not out of the question given the cool temperatures aloft. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 422 AM CDT Mon May 22 2017 A longwave upper trough is forecast to extend from Quebec southwest through Lake Superior into the Southern Plains Tuesday evening. An upper level ridge is forecast to stretch through California northeast toward Hudson Bay. These features will move slowly east with the upper ridge moving over the Central CONUS Wednesday night into Thursday. Showers will linger into Tuesday night but coverage and chances will be diminishing overnight. Light winds will develop Tuesday night over northern Minnesota with clearing skies. Temperatures may fall to near freezing in spots over far northern Minnesota. A dry period will finally occur Wednesday into Thursday as high pressure dominates. Highs Wednesday and Thursday will be in the sixties for most areas but it will be cooler around Lake Superior with off lake winds occurring. Cool temperatures will again be possible Wednesday night, especially over the eastern half of the Northland which will see the lightest wind. Frost will be possible inland from Lake Superior. The upper ridge will be pushed east by an upper level trough Thursday night into Friday. A trough of low pressure will move east into the eastern Dakotas/western Minnesota area by 12Z Friday continuing east Friday into Friday night. There will be a chance for showers Thursday night into Friday evening. There will also be a chance for a few thunderstorms, mainly on Friday. Highs Friday will range from 60 to 70 but again be cooler around Lake Superior. The models diverge later in the weekend with the GFS having a stronger shortwave in the Central Plains which moves into Iowa then through Wisconsin Sunday night into Monday night. A surface low deepens as a result of the stronger wave and brings a better chance for showers/storms to the Northland Sunday night into Monday night. The ECMWF and CANADIAN models are in better agreement and are more progressive. We do have a chance for showers and some thunderstorms from late Saturday night through Monday night but overall confidence is lower than average. High temperatures are expected to remain in the sixties into Monday. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 628 AM CDT Mon May 22 2017 An upper level low was over the Northland this morning and it will continue to be today. It will open up into a trough tonight and finally move more east and south during Tuesday afternoon. Showers will again be possible today into Tuesday along with a few thunderstorms. The thunderstorms will be most likely over the south half of the Northland. Mainly MVFR or IFR ceilings will occur through the period...there will be some VFR over southern areas today into this evening. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

How much is a mini tummy tuck? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 9
Cost of mini tummy tuck
Hello, you will get the best information about tummy tuck cost in your region by calling directly some board-certified plastic surgeons in your region. The cost varies quite a bit depending on the location and experience of the surgeon. In my region the cost ranges from $5,500 - $6,500 plus applicable government tax on cosmetic surgery.

Mini Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty/Liposuction/Vaser High Definition Procedures/Tummy Tuck Revision
I appreciate your question.
Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery and who is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgery. You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling consultations.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.
Best of luck!

How much is a mini tummy tuck?
Thank you for your question and photo. See at least two board certified plastic surgeons for consultation. Cost varies based on your area and skill and reputation and experience of your surgeon. Costs can range from $5000 to $10,000.

Thank you for question and your photos.
i suggest you to look for a board certificated PS by your area or of your preference for you to evaluate cost, because it really depends on where you have your surgery done and with what doctor.
Best of luck,
Tummy Tuck - Cost?
Thank you for your question and photos. It is worth having multiple consultations to evaluate cost variation among surgeons in your area. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon based upon experience and the results he or she can deliver, not just on cost alone. Many practices offer financing plans to lessen the upfront cost. Hope this helps and good luck with your procedure.

What is the cost of a Mini-Tummy Tuck?
Thanks for your question and photos. Giving a cost for a procedure typically requires an in-person consultation. A surgeon is then able to examine the patient, determine the best surgical options and then discuss costs. Costs depend on the surgery to be done, hospital or facility fees and anesthesia fees. These can vary from practice to practice and facility to facility. I recommend you meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation and go from there. Based on your photos, you are an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty and liposuction. I hope this was helpful!

Tummy tuck
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.
This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the
bikini line. Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Cost varies by geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The
most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I
recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic
surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
Richard G. Reish, M.D.
Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
How much is a mini tummy tuck?
Thank you for the question.
When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many "variables" involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find average costs of surgery listed on this website, and on individual plastic surgeon's websites as well.
In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery.
***Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different "specialties" who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.
Best wishes.

TT and liposuction
Based on your photos you seem to be a good candidate for a mini TT, (without belly button transposition) and liposuction. Prices for this surgery will vary depending of the area, facility and, in particular, experience of the surgeon. You should schedule 1-2 consultations with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in body contouring surgery and discuss your option and prices. Good luck.

Everyone has a role to play in fraud prevention, including merchants and their employees. The basics of fraud prevention can be broken down into two sections.
Q: How do I detect suspicious customer behaviour?
A: Fraud Prevention begins with keeping your eyes and ears open. Signs of suspicious customer behaviour can include:
Q: How do I verify card security features?
A: All cards are designed with special security features to deter counterfeiting and alteration. When you are presented with a card, look for the following elements:
Front of Card
Back of Card
Q: How do I Ensure Proper Processing Procedures?
A: Proper Processing Procedures include the following:
Q: What is a Code 10 Authorization?
A: Code 10 is a universal code that allows you to alert an authorization department of a suspected fraudulent transaction without alarming the customer. Call for a Code 10 when you think a transaction needs a closer look, or when you believe a fraudulent transaction is occurring.
Q: How do I protect my business from Mail Order, Telephone Order, and/or Internet fraud?
A: There is anonymity when buying through the mail, over the phone or online. However, there are steps you can take to help stop credit card fraud.
Watch for the following:
Q: What is a Prepaid Visa® card?
A: Prepaid Visa® cards are payment cards containing a pre-set amount of funds that can be used at any merchant location that currently accepts credit cards for purchases. The majority of these cards are part of a "Gift Program," and each has its own look.
Q; What does a Prepaid Visa® Card look like?
A: A Visa® Prepaid card is unembossed – there are no raised letters or numbers. The card is smooth and displays the Visa® brand mark, along with a 16-digit account number, the cardholder's name and the message "Electronic Use Only." A Dove Hologram may appear on either the front or the back of the card with the cardholder's signature and the magnetic stripe.
Q: Do all Visa® Prepaid cards look the same?
A: Each Visa® Prepaid card has its own look, which may make it more difficult to recognize and ensure its authenticity.
Q: What if the cardholder does not know his/her card balance?
A: Prepaid cardholders must contact the financial institution that issued their Visa® Prepaid card for their balance (1-800 numbers and website addresses are printed on the back of the cards). Currently, there is no way for you, the merchant, to find out the remaining balance.
Q: How do I process a Visa® Prepaid card transaction?
A: To process a Visa® Prepaid card transaction, do the following:
Q: What happens if a cardholder tries to make a purchase of greater value than their card balance?
A: The transaction will be declined. The cardholder may ask to split the purchase between two forms of payment. This can be done, provided your store policy and/or transaction processes allow(s) for split transactions. In these cases, the cardholder must inform you of the amount to be deducted from the Visa® Prepaid card and the payment method they wish to use to cover the balance of the purchase, e.g., credit card, debit card or cash.
Q: How do I handle returns for purchases made with a Visa® Prepaid card?
A: The cardholder should have the Visa® Prepaid card they used to make the purchase and the purchase transaction receipt in order to return an item. Be sure to inform the customer that funds credited back to a customer's Prepaid card may take up to seven business days to process. If the customer does not have their Visa® Prepaid card or if the card has expired, refer to your store return policy.
Q: How do I handle voided purchases made with a Visa® Prepaid card?
A: You can void a purchase on a Visa® Prepaid card as you would for any other Visa® card transaction. Be sure to inform the customer that it may take up to seven business days before the funds become available on the card.
Q: How do I process split transactions (purchase split between a Visa® Prepaid card and another form of payment)?
A: It can be done provided your store policy and/or transaction processes allow(s) for it. The cardholder must inform you of the amount to be deducted from the Visa® Prepaid card and the payment method to be used to cover the balance of the purchase, e.g., credit card, debit card or cash.
Q: What is a Prepaid MasterCard®?
A: A Prepaid MasterCard® is a payment card containing a pre-set amount of funds that can be used at any merchant location that currently accepts credit cards for purchases. The majority of these cards are part of a "Gift Program," and each has it's own look.
Q; How does the program work?
A: The MasterCard® Prepaid card allows consumers to load an amount of money (up to a preset limit) into an account associated with the card. The cardholder can then use their Prepaid card to make purchases, or cash withdrawals at an ATM. Those purchases and cash withdrawals are deducted from the account balance. As the balance is spent, the cardholder can reload additional funds on to their card.
Prepaid Programs can be Open-Loop or Closed-Loop:
Q: Do Prepaid MasterCards® always carry the MasterCard® logo?
A: Prepaid cards may or may not carry the MasterCard® brand.
Those used in Open-Loop programs – in which the cards are accepted wherever MasterCard® is accepted – usually carry the MasterCard® brand.
Cards in closed-loop programs, such as a store gift card, tend not to carry the MasterCard® brand but rather feature the brand of the issuer.
Q: Are the cards reloadable?
A: Prepaid cards can be reloadable or non-reloadable. Reloadable accounts offer the cardholder the ability to replenish the value on the card as needs arise. Non-reloadable or "single use cards" are used until the balance is drawn down to zero dollars and then discarded.
Q: How do I process a MasterCard® Prepaid card transaction?
A: Processing a MasterCard® Prepaid card is simple; it has all the same rules and protections as a regular MasterCard® credit card.

From the Baltimore Orioles...
The Orioles today announced three options for fans to purchase postseason tickets, which will be available exclusively online. Fans are encouraged to visit www.orioles.com/postseason for a postseason seating chart, schedule and additional ticket information. All three options are for fans to purchase Wild Card and American League Division Series tickets (ALCS and World Series tickets will be made available for sale at a later date, if necessary).
Option 1
Fans will receive the opportunity to purchase postseason tickets before the general public by placing a $250 per seat deposit on a 2013 full or partial season ticket plan, including 13-game plans. Fans who place a deposit by midnight tonight will have access to an exclusive online-only pre-sale on Thursday, September 20 at 2p.m. Beginning tomorrow, 2013 deposits will no longer guarantee fans an opportunity to participate in this pre-sale.
Option 2
Fans can enter the postseason ticket opportunity with a valid email address at www.orioles.com/postseason for a chance to be selected to participate in a special pre-sale prior to tickets being released to the general public. Fans are encouraged to enter the postseason ticket opportunity in order to have a better chance at acquiring postseason tickets; however, fans who enter are not guaranteed to be chosen for the opportunity.

Here's a review:
I really enjoyed Pam Richter's "The Living Image" and pretty much devoured it! It was fun, fast-paced,smart, and it was funny.
A kindly, brilliant scientist develops a supercomputer that to implant into into a human.
What ensues involves the CIA, the KGB, a Japanese ego-maniacal mogul, the Yakusa - all looking for this stunning, superhuman and her look-alike. They are identical, but one gulps pancake syrup, likes Creme de Menthe w/soda, & enjoys crunching roast bones. One of them bites when angry. The other is a smart, part-time model, a full-time fashion designer, and boutique owner.
Did I mention the KGB agent is smokin'? So is the investigative reporter. So, there is romance: both sweet and sexy.
The danger is taut and fast-paced. There's even a Republican Convention!
The identical women develop a deep, sisterly twin love and loyalty. This was a beautifully written aspect in the story.
Easy to read escape. Pure enjoyment! Curl up w/a cuppa something and a box of cookies.
It's only 99cents. A steal.
Midnight Reflections - Romantic Suspense
The Necromancer - Paranormal, witches, scary fun
The Living Image - Thriller, clones, twins, spies

Who will live and who will die?
A family gathers for Thanksgiving in rural Connecticut, bringing with them confessions, accusations, demands. But suddenly personal agendas become meaningless as the priority shifts to survival. Two burglars break in, believing the house to be empty. In their panic they take the family hostage—and the crime that follows spirals out of control.

Jungle Of Deceit is now on sale for .99 cents!
"Adventure, romance, mystery, action -- I loved this book!" - 5 Stars
Mitch Hasslet, a war photojournalist relegated to a desk job, is the sole witness to a heist of Mayan artifacts. Recruited by the enigmatic director of the Museum of Art and Antiquities, Mitch is sent to Guatemala, the last location the shipment was tracked to. Acting as the museum staff photographer, Mitch joins a group of archaeologists. His goal is to locate the artifacts as swiftly as possible so that he can collect his compensation and get the hell out of the jungle.
Alexandra Langley is about to run out of funds. She has yet to discover the lost Mayan civilization she knows lurks in the rainforest. To achieve her grant, she will accept the museum's latest nuisance, Mitch Hasslet, and any other obstacle that is sent her way.
Unsuccessful and desperate, Alex has decided to move the group to a portion of the jungle referred to as, "No Man's Land"−a sector where archaeological teams have ventured but never returned.
As Mitch and Alex discover romance, will their bond protect them in a jungle filled with deceit?

Only three days left for the .99 cent sale of Jungle Of Deceit
Chuck had gone ahead to check the trail one last time. It was almost a relief to have him out of her hair. Between him and Wes, their disapproval of her intended destination was stifling. It wasn't as if she was crossing that barrier—that unseen line where people had gone missing over the past few years. No, they would be a good forty miles from the sector labeled No Man's Land on Chuck's map.
Alex would never jeopardize the safety of her crew, particularly considering most were college students, too young to know any better on their own. Maybe she was barely ten years older than most of them, but it might as well have been a lifetime. Youth was something that fascinated her, but she felt a strange disassociation with it.
Again Alex's gaze returned to the photographer. He swiped a hand through hair made darker by perspiration. The hair was nice to look at, but her focus was on that hand. Big and scarred with nicks. A man's hand.
That rogue thought spurred Alex to slam down the trunk of the Jeep. The sound drew the photographer's attention her way and she met his eyes.
Midnight blue.
They reminded her of the ponds that provided sanctuary from the rigors of this dig. Cloistered by palm fronds, those small bodies of stagnant water discharged curls of steam on sultry mornings. Each pond was a temple to her. Each a retreat.
And Mitch Hasslet's eyes looked exactly like the dark shadows at their depths.
Alex jerked her glance away. Maybe the move of their camp would improve her sudden treacherous thoughts. Yes, of course it would. A new challenge in an uncharted jungle. Land that no archeologist had covered.
Well, she couldn't say that was true.
If an archeologist had—they never returned to tell about it.

The characters in The Tea Series are people you'd like to know and part of a family that welcomes you with open arms. More than 70,000 copies have been sold. You will find that the series is a fast fun read. Each installment of the series is a hybrid of the traditional novel and the serial novel (each is a full-length novel and leads directly into the next installment.)
Hot Tea Cara O'Flynn finds herself in an unusual position. She's quit her job and can afford to take a few weeks to find a new career. Plus her roommate has run off and left her with an empty room to fill. If she can just accomplish those two tasks before her mother finds out she has no income and no one to help pay the bills, she's in good shape. The problem - Cara didn't plan for three careers in as many days, nor did she anticipate the new guys that dropped in her lap. And then there's her sister Teagan, while always helpful and funny, she can be a bit annoying at times. When you're Irish, all things (good and bad) come in threes. It's inevitable. Cara should have remembered not to forget that part. Cara and Teagan bring laughter, intelligence, and family tradition to every experience they encounter.
Sweet Tea - Cara and Teagan are dealing with wishes come true. The good news is that each of them has found the man of her dreams, unfortunately this is not news easily broken to their traditional mother. Further complicating their lives, they find themselves in the middle of a serial murder investigation; worse still, Cara may have come to the attention of the murderer. With their lives spinning slightly out of control, some of it good, some of it not, Cara and Teagan depend on each other, humor, their family, and their not so common sense, to keep them going.
Iced Tea - Cara and Teagan are dealing with wishes gone awry. The serial murderer, if there is one, is still out there. The new guys are supportive, as is the family, but there is a limit to how involved Cara and Teagan want the people they love most to be. Knowing there is a serial murderer in your sphere of influence is disorienting. What you do has consequences, but that doesn't mean you see them in advance. The crazy cop is around more than ever. There is a wedding to be planned and although Cara has always been the organizer of the family, she's not even kept in the loop. Life has been spinning out of control for some time and now it's up to Cara and Teagan to put it to rights.
Green Tea Cara and Teagan more determined than ever, but determination without focus doesn't get you very far. There's a wedding just days away. A time to celebrate and enjoy family and tradition, but Cara keeps her distance as situations outside of her control threaten her in ways she is just beginning to recognize. Cara and Teagan finally get to the bottom of one mystery, only to find another much closer to home.
Peppermint Tea - With complications swirling around Cara and Teagan, a cruise to Alaska might be just the opportunity they were looking for to calm things down and reconnect. They didn't count on things changing so much while they were gone. One bad guy out of jail, another unaccounted for, and just what did their mother do with their boyfriends? Cara has always counted on Teagan to walk with her through the good and bad parts of life, but even that seems to be changing…
Coming Soon - Tea to Go
Please note: All books in The Tea Series have been professionally edited and formatted.
I hope that you will take a look.

Metabolic Profiling of Xenopus leavis
Student: Rachel Mann
Faculty Adviser: Dr. George Delahunty and Dr. George Greco
We are interested in creating a full metabolic profile of Xenopus leavis in order to better define the endocrine control of metabolism in ectotherms. Such metabolites include sugars, amino acids, ketones, and free fatty acids. Samples are derivatized by oximation and silylation to increase their volatility for Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry analysis. Numerous samples of pure compounds have been derivatized and analyzed to optimize dericatization and instrumentation conditions. Analysis of a Xenopus blood sample has resulted in the identification of over 50 compounds. Specifically, we are most interested in sugary, free fatty acids, and amino acids and their role in ectotherm metabolism. We have also done metabolic comparisons frogs under both fasted and fed conditions, as well as glucose injected frogs. Gaining a better understanding of metabolism in ectotherms can provide some insight about how metabolism has evolved in the transition from ectotherms to endotherms.

Professionals with a qualifying law degree who are interested in broadening their understanding of the global sports industry can now pursue an M.S. in Sports Management and a Master in Global Sports Law together.
Columbia University, a world-class Ivy League institution, and Instituto Superior de Derecho y Economía (ISDE), a Madrid-based leader in legal education, offer a companion degree program for individuals with a law background who are interested in a career in international sports.
Intensive study for the two professional degrees — Columbia's Master of Science (M.S.) in Sports Management and ISDE's Master in Global Sports Law — is completed on Columbia's campus in New York City, the sports capital of North America, for 10 months during the fall, spring, and summer terms. Courses provide foundational instruction on the sports industry combined with specific training in sports (accounting, finance, marketing, personnel management, and analytics) and law (intellectual property law and alternative dispute resolution).
After successfully completing their coursework, students pursue a 3-to-6-month internship with a global sports law firm, agency, team, league, or regulatory body, based on their academic profile and professional goals.
Some organizations that have provided internships in the past include:
- United States Olympic CommitteeUSA
- Major League SoccerUSA
- Bichara & Motta AdvogadosBrazil
- Libra LawSwitzerland
- Mills & ReeveUK
- Squire Patton BoggsUK
- CRA TimorPortugal
- Court of Arbitration for SportSwitzerland
- World Anti-Doping AgencySwitzerland
Both degree programs are taught by renowned faculty from Columbia and ISDE who are leaders in the fields of sports law, sports analytics, sports media, as well as professional and collegiate athletics.
Sport associations, leagues, and organizations represented by the combined faculty include:
- NCAA – National Collegiate Athletic Association
- NFL – National Football League
- NBA – National Basketball Association
- FIFA – Fédération Internationale de Football Association
- CAS – Court of Arbitration for Sport
- MLS – Major League Soccer
- IOC – International Olympic Committee
Guest lecturers are among the world sporting community's most respected lawyers, agents, and managers. Networking events and practical workshops held at leading law firms and sports organizations in New York City complement the coursework.
Students in the program have access to the same academic and administrative benefits as other full-time Columbia students and are provided placement services by ISDE. In addition to the academically rigorous curriculum, the program offers students outstanding networking opportunities with peers at Columbia and ISDE, colleagues from across the Ivy League, and industry leaders.
Graduates will be prepared to effectively engage and excel at the responsibilities necessary for success at the next phases of their careers.
First Fall and Spring
- Globalization of Sport
- Digital Sports Media & Marketing
- Sports Accounting and Finance*
- International Comparative Sports Law
- Leadership and Personnel Management in the Sports Industry
- Introduction to Finance
- an analytics course
- an elective course
Second Fall
In the second year of the program, students will engage in a 6-point internship within the area of sports law.
* Students without sufficient background in accounting and finance may be asked to enroll in preparatory courses in accounting and/or finance before completing this course.
SPRT PS5310. Globalization of Sport.
This course will address the intertwined relationship between globalization, sport, and development from a critical global perspective. This course highlights the extent to which contemporary sport cultures are the result of interplay between local, regional, national, international and global forces. This context is achieved through demonstrating how sport governing bodies, spectacles, practices, and products, are both expressive of local conditions, while simultaneously influenced by the workings of global economic, political, and cultural forces. The specific aim of the course is to encourage students to consider how various international sport mechanisms are experienced as manifestations of the global-local nexus. Students explore the international character of professional and amateur sports including international competitions, league expansions beyond national boundaries, and the movement of athletes. Such a cross-cultural examination will nurture, not only a comparative understanding of various national sport cultures, but also a more nuanced and sensitive understanding of the derivation and experience of cultural difference within the era of globalization.
SPRT PS5360. Sports Accounting and Finance.
What is the business of professional sports, and what financial skills are needed to thrive in the industry? This course provides an extensive overview of the business of professional sports and the financial and accounting skills necessary for sports managers to succeed in professional sports organizations. This course moves from a macro to the micro look at the industry, by surveying the business models of major sports leagues and organizations with specific reference and emphasis on finance and accounting and the role they play in decision-making.
By the end of the course, students will have a solid comprehension of the role of accounting and finance in the sports industry, and be able to successfully apply that knowledge to accounting and financial issues routinely faced by sports managers.
SPRT PS5580. Digital Sports Media and Marketing.
How does digital media and marketing impact the sports business? Over the last 15-20 years, digital media and marketing has become one of the biggest, most dynamic, and fastest growing parts of the sports industry. From an academic standpoint, this means digital is fully intertwined and complementary with the other key disciplines associated with sports: marketing, sponsorship, events, public relations, finance, and more.
This course is intended for students who are eager to delve into the digital side of sports, learn about the historical context, latest trends, best practices and issues, and become more knowledgeable about, and fluent in, one of the most exciting and appealing parts of the business. Case studies, current events, new developments, and guest speakers along with other approaches are used to familiarize students with topics such as:
- the importance of fantasy and video gaming
- the transformation of the in-venue experience
- relevant uber-issues such as net neutrality, and the increasing globalization of the business
SPRT PS5470. International Comparative Sports Law. 3 pts.
The focus of this course is to introduce, synthesize, evaluate theory, introduce scholarly research, and discuss issues and themes regarding international sport law. The differences and similarities between American, European and International sport will be compared. The following topics will be covered throughout the course: The International Olympic Committee (IOC), International Federations, National Federations, National Olympic Committees, the Olympics, FIFA, and FIBA. Other topics for discussion are European professional soccer teams, American professional athletes playing internationally, the international sports agent, and the World Cup.
SPRT PS5410. Leadership and Personnel Management in the Sports Industry. 3 pts.
This course examines issues of management and organizational behavior within the broad context of the sports industry, with specific reference to issues of staffing, motivation, and communication. Introduces leadership theory, as well as the tools and techniques for its practical applications, including how to most effectively apply leadership theory on a daily basis within a sports organization.
BUSI PS5001. Introduction to Finance. 3 pts.
Students will be introduced to the fundamental financial issues of the modern corporation. By the end of this course, students will understand the basic concepts of financial planning, managing growth, debt and equity sources of financing and valuation, capital budgeting methods; risk analysis, cost of capital, and the process of securities issuance.
SPRT PS5475. Intellectual Property Law. 3 pts.
This course is intended both for students who are interested in a general overview of intellectual property and as a gateway to Boalt's Law and Sports. The course begins with an analysis of the competing policies underlying intellectual property law. It covers the basics of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets law, as well as some of the salient controversies in intellectual property law, including right of publicity in sports, sponsorship, commercial promotion and business methods, the challenges to copyright law posed by sport event sharing technology, the role and difficulties of protecting rights on the Internet, and the application of common law doctrines to the Internet.
SPRT PS5465. Alternative Dispute Resolution. 3 pts.
Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes early neutral evaluation, negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration. As burgeoning court queues, rising costs of litigation, and time delays continue to plague litigants, more states have begun experimenting with ADR programs. Some of these programs are voluntary; others are mandatory. While the two most common forms of ADR are arbitration and mediation, negotiation is almost always attempted first to resolve a dispute. It is the preeminent mode of dispute resolution. Negotiation allows the parties to meet in order to settle a dispute. The main advantage of this form of dispute settlement is that it allows the parties themselves to control the process and the solution.
SPRT PS5980. Internship in Sports Management. 6 pts.
Advanced standing in the Sports Management program, with at least 12 points (4 courses) completed is required.
The internship in Sports Management provides students not currently working in the industry with hands-on experience in a sports organization of their choice. Students will be required to successfully engage in a set of responsibilities for a sports organization. Students pursuing internships work with an advisor who is available to assist and advise on their internship responsibilities. At the term's end, students submit a written summary of their internship projects or internship experience to the internship adviser and present to their peers regarding their experience. Although students have broad flexibility in the types of organizations at which they might intern, the internship must be approved, in advance, by the internship advisor. The internship in Sports Management is offered every term, including summer.
The University reserves the right to withdraw or modify the courses of instruction or to change the instructors as may become necessary.

The Environmental Protection Agency has declared gas lawn mowers to be the least environmental friendly among the many kinds of lawn mowers that have flooded the market recently. Since electrical lawn mowers tend to discharge very less harmful emissions into the atmosphere, people have switched to using them instead.
The GreenWorks 25022 Overview:
The GreenWorks 25022 is an electrical lawn mower with unique features which will follow right after and hopefully prove helpful to any potential shopper looking for a durable and practical lawn mower.
Power: Even though the GreenWorks 25022 may not use gas but that does not stop it from being behind in performance. Running on 12 Amp and with the capabilities of a 72 Volts machine, this powerful machine starts quickly, is fast and user friendly. At 56 pounds, it is also able to mow bigger lawns with the help of a lock-chord that does not disconnect even if jerked during operation.
Maintenance and Storage: When it comes to storage this strong machine easily becomes compact after folding and also unfolds effortlessly when you need to use it. Moreover, because of its electrical nature, it does not require any tune ups or maintenance services nor does it have any carbon footprint. All that is required is a proper clean up of the blades before storage so they may stay protected from any corrosion since they are made of steel and would be exposed to damp environments as well.
Efficiency and Mobility: When it comes to conventional mowing, saving time and effort are considered highly important and so with a 20 inch diameter of the cutting deck, you can easily cut large patches in less time. Also, since it is made of steel, it is quite thinner than many other lawn mowers. The varied size in the rear and front wheels, 10 and 7 inches respectably along with the ergonomic upright handles, not only allows fast mobility but also easy maneuverability around tight and narrow spaces. The GreenWorks 25022 also gives you the choice of adjusting the height of your cutting blade between 1.5 to 3.75 inches which thus you can cut your lawn according to your liking. Moreover, its 3 in 1 system for the clippings gives you the choice to either discard mulch or store them.
The Pros and Cons of buying the GreenWorks 25022:
- Easily adjust height.
- Steel deck; thinner than many.
- 3 options for grass clippings.
- May run over cord.
- Need to sharpen blade after purchase.
- Requires an extension cord.
What do customers have to say about the GreenWorks 25022:
Us review writers genuinely value customer feedbacks as they help us get a better understanding of the product's durability and functionality. The GreenWorks 25022 received over 490 positive reviews of which 375 proud owners awarded this powerful mower with 5 stars each with hearty compliments over its light weight compared to cordless mowers and 3 user friendly options for the clippings. However, there were some who were not content with the short length of the chord which even after connected to an extension wire would come under the mower which the users had to be careful of.
Global warming has caused our earth to deteriorate however; GreenWorks gives full confidence in their eco-friendly tools which makes the GreenWorks 25022 a very good option for a lawn mower since it has been found that over 800 million gallons of gasoline is used for lawn moving in America alone which emits harmful gasses into our atmosphere. Other than this, at only $60 on Amazon, this high tech machine also comes with user friendly operations such as one lever for adjusting the height for your grass and functionality where you can easily fold it and keep it away after use.
