This review summarizes the existing data about the geological sources of As in Greece; their variety and the relevant concentrations make Greece a peculiar territory to generalize and better understand the methodology for their assessment. These sources concern As-containing ores in active and abandoned mining areas, geothermal/hydrothermal waters, lignites in exploited and unexploited deposits, As-minerals in various rock types such as metamorphic rocks, and mineral dust originating in Sahara desert. It is considered that As release from the above sources, in conjunction with various anthropogenic As fluxes, occasionally creates distinct areas with contaminated groundwater, soils, marine and atmospheric environment. In general, Greece has been reported as a global As "hot spot" and it is argued that a significant amount of the Hellenic population might be affected by As pollution. The most important and permanent As source seems to be geothermal/hydrothermal fluids, due to faults and volcanic activity, affecting the underground, surface, and marine aquatic environment.

By Paul Gardner
There has been some encouragement recently for those of us who think the time has come, is really way past due, when there should be some radical changes in soccer's rules, and in the way that those rules are formulated.
Firstly, there was FIFA president Sepp Blatter launching a broadside against the use of the shootout as a tiebreaker. Likening the shootout to "a tragedy," Blatter said that soccer "loses its essence" when matches are settled by penalty kicks. Soccer "should not go to one-to-one, because when it goes to penalty kicks, it loses its essence as a team sport." Soccer games, he declared, should be decided "11 vs 11."
A few days later we heard from Theo Zwanziger, formerly head of the German soccer federation, now the head of a special FIFA committee appointed to suggest changes to the FIFA statutes. Zwanziger let it be known that he had been considering the abolishment of the International Football Association Board, the ancient body that, for the past 126 years, has been in charge of deciding exactly what the sport's rules should say.
As a convinced anti-shootoutist, and an equally devout anti-IFABist I applaud both Blatter and Zwanziger. But I do so while wondering whether anything will come of their words. This is not the first time that Blatter has pilloried the shootout. He did so in 2006, in much the same terms, right after the World Cup final in which Italy had beaten France in a shootout.
At that time he said that "a replay, or gradually deducting players in extra time and playing golden goal" would be better solutions. He evidently wanted change before the 2010 World Cup: "We have four years or so, so I think we have time," he said, and asserted that high-level discussions would start soon.
I'm not aware of any such discussions, and the topic simply melted away. Until another high-profile shootout - Chelsea's recent win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final -- triggered Blatter to open fire again.
This time, Blatter repeated his belief that shootouts destroyed the team essence of the game, but made no suggestions about possible alternatives -- he referred the matter to Franz Beckenbauer, the chairman of Task Force Football 2014, yet another committee devoted to making the sport better: "Perhaps Franz Beckenbauer with his Football 2014 group can present us with a solution, if not today then tomorrow."
Sadly, as happens so frequently with any attempt to change things in soccer, Blatter's notion met with immediate rejection. From Beckenbauer, who remarked that shootouts "bring emotions into play and are a lot more attractive than the toss of a coin, for example".
No doubt they are, but it is sad to see Beckenbauer so quickly and so vigorously refuting a threadbare solution that no one is advocating.
The quick demise of a good idea seemed also to be the story of Zwanziger's thoughts about abolishing IFAB. "It looks like IFAB will continue," is the latest from Zwanziger. "We initially considered dissolving it but now IFAB, which has historic and important values, will be preserved."
No mention of what those "important values" might be. But at least there may be an attempt to diversify the IFAB membership (at the moment, half of its eight members have to be Brits). A new IFAB could also include representatives of the media or technical specialists from soccer, Zwanziger added.
Which leaves me wondering whether Zwanziger is dissembling about the continuation of IFAB. What he is advocating seems to me to be a totally new body -- but one which will retain the IFAB name. I suggested something very similar back in 2006, and if that now comes to pass, well, six years qualifies as prompt action on the IFAB time scale.
What I was looking for was this: a goodbye to the idea that preserving a structure that dates from 1886 continues to serve a useful purpose. It does not -- in fact, it is an obstruction to progress. The abolishment, then, of IFAB. Its replacement by a full-time body whose membership reflects the worldwide game. At the moment, to highlight a massive absurdity, there is absolutely no guarantee that any of the four FIFA members on IFAB will be from South America ... while Wales and Northern Ireland and Scotland are each assured of a vote.
The new body would have a larger and more expert membership and, as far as I can make out, that seems to be what Zwanziger is aiming for. One aspect that Zwanziger does not deal with, though, is transparency.
It is traditional in soccer to surround referee activities with secrecy. Referees do not have to signal what calls they are making (indeed, there isn't even an agreed set of signals anyway). They do not have to explain matters to the press. They are, in fact, rarely heard from. When players or coaches criticize the refereeing, they can expect to be fined.
That whole atmosphere of concealment has to be changed. I have suggested that any new body have a public face, that it employs a PR officer. I make that suggestion with some hesitation because I'm well aware that there is a lot of overlap these days between genuine PR work and spin-doctoring. But open discussion of the rules and of refereeing must be the first aim.

Celebrity Cess
The Defendant and Alycia Lane, on set.
PHILLY FILLY. So today, Philadelphia anchorman Larry Mendte pleaded guilty to, well:
...one count of illegally accessing a computer.
Larry Mendte admitted that he viewed hundreds of Alycia Lane's e-mails from March 2006 to May 2008, including ones from her agent, her then-husband and lawyers representing her after she was arrested in New York last year and fired from the station.
"There is no question he wrecked her career," said lawyer Paul Rosen, who represents Lane in her wrongful-termination suit against KYW-TV. [emphases added]
Of course, it's all great gossip. Larry Mendte's wife is also a Philadelphia anchor, at rival Fox 29. Who isn't comparing the two women and developing their own storylines?
Dawn Stensland (Channel 29) and Alycia Lane (Channel 3)
Yes, Larry is a Ted Baxter figure, a stereotype of the local anchor who adds brightly colored lead weights to his voice when there's a sad story without ever actually seeming to feel it. And the women involved are much the same. Every line on the teleprompter is/was freighted with a "look at me doing the news" sensibility that makes murders, arsons, and rapes into cheesy show business.
Why mention all this? Because it's simply not true that all local news people are shallow, two-dimensional narcissists. I can't remember all their names, but most of the local Philly newspeople aren't celebrities. They're devoted residents of their city doing a job. Many of them have aged from new college grads to late middle age on camera, growing grayer and heavier through the decades as they reported live from sordid murder scenes, awful weather emergencies, concerts, elections, and occasional sports triumphs to people whom they regard principally as their neighbors. I'll try to come back to this list and add to it, but at the moment I remember Robin Mackintosh, Don Polec, Edie Huggins, Carol Erickson, Terry Ruggles, Orien Reid, Jennaphr Frederick, Lisa Thomas-Laurie, Dave Roberts, Beverly Williams, Rob Jennings, Vernon Odom, and Cherie Bank, all faithful foot soldiers in a vocation that makes them subject to ridicule as we speak.
And being older than most, I remember the real anchors of Philadelphia local news, the men who became the hometown Cronkites and Brinkleys at the beginning of local TV news, always there, always dignified, always more cognizant of the news itself than their Q-Ratings. There was John Facenda on Channel 10, Vince Leonard on Channel 3, and Larry Kane on Channel 6. Not one of them a matinee idol in terms of physical appearance. Not one of them a star in his own mind. They were just responsible for reporting the news. What troubles me is how hard it is to find, in these internet days, pictures of men who were on our televisons every night for decades. Is it really so easy to disappear people who were so much a part of everyone's lives?
Here's what I've been able to find from their anchor days. I don't even recognize the picture of Vince Leonard because it's so very old.
Vince Leonard, John Facenda, and Larry Kane
Why are they slipping down the memory hole? John Facenda, in particular, is embedded in the brain of every single professional football fan over the age of 40. He was the voice of NFL Films (go here and listen to the audio file -- that's John Facenda) until he died.
Oh well. Fame is fleeting. That's our real message here. Celebrity comes and then it goes. What matters is not how pretty or popular you were, but whether you did anything for anyone else. Most of the local news professionals in Philly are engaged in discharging exactly that pursuit, serving their community for years at all hours and in every kind of weather. It's a pure shame they're being judged by the shallowest, callowest members of their business. But that won't last either. People always remember the good ones in the end -- and forget the fakers.
Besides, Philadelphia still has one anchor in the mold of Vince and John and Larry. How many other cities can say that? Maybe it's time we appreciated him a little more.
Jim Gardner, the Last Lion
Yeah, he's gotten gray. But we all believe he still cares about what happens in Philly. That's a lot better than a network contract in our book.

Chenoweth Animal Hospital is the best!
My sister Sadie and I go to the docs at Chenoweth. We always get the best care and everyone that works there treats us like we are special (I bet they treat all their patients that way) and my mom likes the way she is treated too. She knows that we will be well taken care of.

At DIVEbar for four years, this 25-year-old sipster adds sound-savvy and a sidecar of sarcasm to the happening 'hole.' "I'm sarcastic and full of bad jokes ... so is my dog," says the tender's Twitter tag, with an apt handle to boot: @xJERKKx.
A Raleigh native, the tuneful tender spent a quartet of pre-DIVE years away from the Oak City, touring internationally between two signed bands (Alesana and We Were Gentleman), the latter of which he ultimately left to manage the bar full-time. "After coming back home, I started to work for a field promotions company in Raleigh and was able to use that as a good networking tool and transition into the bar scene, seeing as I was in them every night working ... or drinking," he laughs.
The '@jerk,' or, likewise, jack-of-all-trades, traded his tunes for a stint at DIVE as manager/bartender/sound guy. "I always loved coming in to the bar," he says, "so it was natural that I wanted to work here. As a musician I really love what my bar offers to bands and their fans. Whether they're locals or on tour, we make it possible for bands to be able to play a show, get paid and pick up new fans as our shows are always FREE!"
So if you want a drink, and some good tunes, "minus the smell of piss and Lysol," find a spot at this mocking mixster's bar. You won't be sorry. Tipsy, maybe.
Hometown: Raleigh, N.C.
DIVE's been around the brew block for sometime. What makes it stick? Good prices for the average person, FREE shows on the weekends, down-to-earth bar staff and patrons and a never-ending supply of sarcasm and jokes if you pop in on one of my nights.
You're the manager/bartender/sound guy extraordinaire for DIVE. What's it like to wear so many hats? It's stressful ... I don't [complain] though. It keeps me busy, that's for sure, but I like knowing everything is running smoothly.
What can we dig about DIVE? Musician ran bar/impromptu venue on the weekends with FREE shows and great specials all week long.
Scary Movie Sunday ... will it spook us? I personally prefer the ridiculous horror myself.
What DIVE isn't: It is what it isn't. Its the black sheep of Glenwood South, where you can find a collective bar ranging from crust punk pizza makers to the middle-aged professional family man who gets psyched on hearing a King Diamond song come on over the PA.
What you love about the Raleigh bar scene: The alcohol.
You're thirsty? Which local bartender is mixin' your drinks (and where)? You can honestly catch me at any number of places, giving some love. Slims, though, would probably be my second home to DIVEbar. Their crabby old guy bartender tends to be my favorite one to stress out.
The "gospel," according to Steven: "I'm like a ball; that's how I roll."
On your current playlist? Last five song's to play while writing this at the bar: Thin Lizzy- "Cowboy Song," Sleep- "The Druid," Kyuss- "Fatso Forgotso," Misfits- "We Bite," and Helmet- "Clean."
Your app addiction: Stupid Zombies!!!!
Your go-to spot, other than DIVEbar: My porch.
Never leave home without: Locking your doors. (smiling)
To live on the edge, you... Jump off of it. Literally. It's an embarrassing story, so don't ask (laughs).
If you're out to eat in the Triangle, we'll find you grubbing at: MoJoes, Mellow Mushroom, El Rodeo or Calavera.
Best part about being behind the bar? Two words: Brian Flanagan!!!!
Other sip spots in the Triangle you've worked: None better than where I'm at now.

The shingles vaccine is given as a single injection into the upper arm. Unlike the flu jab, you'll only need to have the vaccination once and you can have it at any time of the year.
The shingles vaccine is expected to reduce your risk of getting shingles. If you are unlucky enough to go on to have the disease, your symptoms may be milder and the illness shorter.
Shingles can be very painful and uncomfortable. Some people are left with pain lasting for years after the initial rash has healed. And shingles is fatal for around 1 in 1,000 over-70s who develop it.
It's fine to have the shingles vaccine if you've already had shingles. The shingles vaccine works very well in people who have had shingles before and it will boost your immunity against further shingles attacks.
Who can have the shingles vaccination?
From September 1 2016 the shingles vaccine is routinely available to people aged 70 and 78. You become eligible for the vaccine on the first day of September 2016 after you've turned 70 or 78 and remain so until the last day of August 2017.
In addition, anyone who was eligible for immunisation in the previous three years of the programme but missed out on their shingles vaccination remains eligible until their 80th birthday. This includes:
The shingles vaccine is not available on the NHS if you are aged 80 or over.
Until 31 August 2016, the shingles vaccine is still available to all those who were aged 70 or 78 on 1 September 2015.
You can have the shingles vaccination at any time of year, though many people will find it convenient to have it at the same time as their annual flu vaccination.
Who should not have the shingles vaccination?
You should not have the shingles vaccine if you:

Student biologists present research results
Posted: April 30th, 2014
BEST IN SHOW – Lake Superior State University student biologists Brian Curell (l) and John Griffioen pose with best student poster awards for lab- and field-based projects, presented during the School of Biology Sciences' spring senior thesis research symposium. Curell, from Clifford, Mich., examined the effects of disturbance frequency on the structure of aquatic insect communities in coastal wetlands of the St. Mary's River. Griffioen, from Portage, Mich., studied the prevalence of parasites in dogs that were owned and in dogs that were living in a shelter to determine if there were differences in the number and types of parasitic infections. Presenting the award is Nancy Kirkpatrick, chair of the School of Biological Sciences. (LSSU/John Shibley))

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - Instrumental versions of songs work better for short-term memory recall, and a new method of detecting and measuring toxic microbes in hospital patients shows promise. These are just two findings that 32 biology students presented during a recent senior thesis research symposium held at Lake Superior State University.
The senior thesis is the capstone experience for all students in the School of Biological Sciences at LSSU. Students choose a topic, design a study, collect and analyze the data, write a scientific paper and present the information to the university community and interested members of the public. Projects typically take an entire year for the students to design and complete, and often address practical issues of local biological and environmental concerns.
The senior thesis experience for students in the sciences, engineering, and several other majors, is one aspect of LSSU that greatly sets it apart from other undergraduate programs. This year's research topics reflect a wide range of topics that biology students study.
Robert Addington of Archbold, Ohio, investigated the feasibility of creating a citizen-science program to collect ages of whitetail deer. His results from a questionnaire provided to local sportsmen, coupled with background work he completed, showed that there is interest in the program. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources provided Addington with insight into creating a new program and system details. There is support for a new system but significant time and effort will be required before more sportsmen become committed participants.
Jennifer Alexander of Sanford, Mich., tested the use of salmonid primers to amplify the mitochondrial DNA of various species of fish in polymerase chain reactions. The primers used were found to be effective in amplifying the DNA of multiple types of fish salmonids, or hatchlings. This study is important because in order for DNA of young fish to be studied, it must first be amplified. Alexander's work found primers that able to be used for that process.

Chloe Balanda of Big Rapids, Mich., investigated anemia and whether different training regimens, specifically basketball vs. cross-country training, affected the percentage of anemia in female collegiate athletes. Her results showed that both the basketball team and cross country team had very high percentages of anemic athletes within each team (11 out of 15 and four out of six respectively), though differences between the two teams due to training regimens were not significant. This research is important because anemia can have detrimental effects on any female athlete who strives to reach her full potential. The results of this study can allow coaches to make necessary adjustments to training regiments and will help to determine if supplements (like iron) need to be added to athletes' diets.
Ryan Baldwin of Blanchard, Mich., studied the effects of wave disturbances on aquatic insect communities in coastal wetlands of the St. Mary's River to determine if certain communities are better adapted to withstand future disturbances. His results showed that under simulated disturbances, insect communities are able to withstand future disturbances, regardless of the history of disturbances. This research is important because it provides a basis of what type of disturbance the communities can withstand.
Jason Bojczyk of Waterford, Mich., studied the migration of Long-Eared Owls in the evening at Whitefish Point and the factors influencing their migration. His results showed that Long-Eared Owls had an average departure time of 40 minutes after sunset, and prefer to migrate on nights without wind or light winds out of the southeast. This research is important because virtually no data exists on the migration of large numbers of Long-Eared Owls.
John Burman of Hudson, Wis., studied whether there is interbreeding between wolves and coyotes in the Eastern Upper Peninsula. His results showed that interbreeding has occurred in the region, but due to the limitations of the tests, could not show how often or if it is still occurring. This research is important when considered with the recent removal of grey wolves from the endangered species list and the possible dilution of their gene pool from coyotes.
Katelynn Cordero, of Hudson Mich., studied the habitat-use requirements of wolves in the Great Lakes Region. She gathered information to develop a Habitat Suitability Index, which is a prediction of the relationship between the wolf and its habitat requirements. This Habitat Suitability Index will be used as an aid in managing the wolf populations within the region.
Caitlin Cullen of Utica, Mich., investigated a procedure to detect a binary toxin produced by Clostridium difficile. The microbe is typically hospital-acquired and causes severe diarrheal disease that can be especially deadly to the elderly. Using the gene sequence for this toxin, Cullen investigated a procedure that might allow for easy detection of the toxin at low concentrations through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The protocol also allows for quantification of the toxin in a patient sample that can be used to fully-understand the toxin's role in disease.
Brian Curell of Clifford, Mich., examined the effects of disturbance frequency due to wave and wakes on the structure of aquatic insect communities in coastal wetlands of the St. Mary's River. The study showed that the frequency of disturbances had no significant effect on abundance or number of species. This is important because it shows that aquatic invertebrate communities are adapted to high disturbance levels and the communities are unaffected by disturbances.
Sawyer Dawe of Mio, Mich., informed homeowners on the importance of a "defensible space" in the event of a wildfire. His public outreach showed property/homeowners the true meaning and importance of having a plan to deal with, or deflect, an approaching fire. Homeowners mentioned that they learned a lot of valuable information that could potentially save their property and home. This information is very important as wildfires are getting more intense every year and annually are destroying more and more homes. Homeowners need to be aware of how to make there home a safer place for themselves and safer for firefighters to protect in the event of a wildfire.
Harry Dittrich of Jackson, Mich., studied the changes in biodiversity of forests, wetlands, and lakes following the Duck Lake wildfire using one cubic foot samples. He found that forests suffer the greatest negative impact to biodiversity, but lakes and wetlands also suffered negative effects. This research will be useful to developing a better understanding of how wildfires affect ecosystems and manage implications.
Haleigh Edgar of Tecumseh, Mich., investigated the potential effects of reading on an E-book before bed. Her results showed that compared to paperback readers, E-book readers experienced delayed bedtimes, more sporadic brain wave frequencies, and decreased melatonin concentrations. This research is important because it supports the idea that the (LED)-backlit technology surrounding us may be causing negative effects to our bodies.
Kourtlyn Esslin of Pickford, Mich., studied parasites in equine herds of the Eastern Upper Peninsula to determine if there was a relationship between regular use and rotation of anthelmentics (treatments used to worm horses) and parasite numbers. Her results showed that regularly worming horses resulted in significantly lower presence and numbers of parasites. This research demonstrates the importance of regular worming regimens for horse health.
John Griffioen of Portage, Mich., compared the prevalence of parasites in dogs that were owned with ones in a shelter to determine if there were differences in the number and types of parasitic infections. His results showed that shelter animals were more heavily infected, and infected more often than dogs that live in a home and receive regular veterinary care. This research is important because domestic dogs could put their human caretakers at risk of acquiring certain parasites if they were infected.
Jacob Harm of Washington, Mich., conducted a survey of parasites in gray wolves in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. His results were compared to three similar studies conducted in the area. He found that areas where wolves had been locally extinct showed lower parasite densities than areas that had sustainable wolf populations. This study is important because it can help to understand parasite-host ecology.
Kevin Hinterman of Midland, Mich., investigated the fish community in tributary mouths of Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior to determine diversity, abundances, and age distributions. His findings showed that tributary mouths host a very high diversity and abundance of both young of year and older fish. This research highlights the importance of tributary mouths to the fish community and the potential detrimental effects on fish populations if these areas are not preserved.
Tressa Hubbard of Harrison, Mich., developed and distributed a survey to evaluate whether wolf-human interactions and the perceived risk associated with interactions influence public opinion on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to remove the western Great Lakes gray wolf population from the Endangered Species Act. In doing her research, she found that 50% of the people who had felt wolves were a danger had no interactions with a wolf over the past two years, and only 24% of them had a negative encounter with a wolf over the past two years. This study is significant because it assists biologists in understanding public opinions of conservation and management of predator populations, as well as allowing them to see how much of an understanding the public has on the wolf population.
Tyler Jackson of Port Huron, Mich., examined the expression of two genes that are critical to an early life-stage and ocean entry in the native ranges of Atlantic and Coho Salmon in the Great Lakes. Findings of this study have optimized methods for further study of these genes in Great Lakes salmon, and suggest that saltwater-specific genes are expressed in minute concentrations in both species in the Great Lakes.
Brittany Litchard of Cheboygan, Mich., investigated the presence of bacteria and their resistance to common antibiotics in powdered infant formula. Her results showed that bacteria were present in all four brands of powdered infant formula tested, and each bacterial colony showed resistance to at least one antibiotic. This research is important because it indicates that further testing may be needed to determine if pathogenic bacteria are present.
Joe Luttrell of Port Huron, Mich., studied the invasive Round Goby to see if there was relationship between their densities and habitat type. Results indicated preferred habitats, and also displayed sites still dominated by the native Logperch. This research is important for habitat restoration efforts, which may try to prevent the spread of the Round Goby and protect native species by providing a haven for their natural reproduction.
Daniel Mockler of LaPorte, Ind., studied the transportation of energy and nutrients from tributaries to near shore bay areas of Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior to determine if early life stage whitefish are utilizing these resources and if so, where they are taking them up in the water column. His results showed that whitefish are in fact utilizing these tributary resources in the nursing grounds of the near shore areas, primarily at the bottom of the water column. Understanding tributary and near shore energy and nutrient sources to whitefish can direct management efforts by identifying habitats and processes that are pertinent to whitefish recruitment and growth.
Joseph Oberski from Ida, Mich., compared the growth rate of ring-necked pheasant between two different commercial pheasant feeds and a natural diet. He did find a significant difference that contradicted what was originally expected. This study could help people that raise pheasant, both personally and commercially, to produce the best possible product.
Nicholas O'Neil of Brooklyn, Mich., investigated the relationship between the presence of Pacific salmon and wildlife behavior to determine if Michigan wildlife has begun to adapt to the presence of salmon carcasses along rivers. His findings suggest that wildlife along rivers with a salmon run may be anticipating the reoccurrence of this food source and taking advantage of it as an annual source of nutrition. This research is important because it supports the integration of an introduced species into Michigan's wildlife ecosystems and management considerations.
Rusty Richardson of Dimondale, Mich., studied wild turkey winter roosting habits during extreme winter temperatures. His results showed that when a constant food source is available, roosting habits do not change regardless of temperature. This research is important to agencies looking to transplant turkeys north of their natural range in regions where severe winter weather is possible.
Nichol Sanabria of Kincheloe, Mich., studied the effects of modern music on short-term memory recall in college students by examining how different versions of the same song affected recall of lists of words. Her researched showed that there was a significant improvement in recall with instrumental versions versus with English lyrics. The importance of this research was to show that there were several factors that affected how music influenced short-term memory.
Abigail Schafer of Pewamo, Mich., studied the effects of season length on harvest rates of Canada geese in Michigan using 2003-13 band recovery data from the United States Geological Survey. Her results showed that there was a trend in total goose returns and in goose returns per day; however, there was not a significant effect of season length on harvest rates of Canada geese in Michigan for the 2012-2013 hunting season. This research is important because it helps the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the United States Fish and Wildlife Society determine that there needs to be more management efforts put into effect to help reduce the growing population of Canada geese in Michigan.
Renee Schlak of Millersburg, Mich., assessed the educational outreach shortfalls within the Great Lakes Piping Plover conservation program. She created educational materials to supplement public misunderstanding of the Piping Plover Conservation Program. Renee worked closely with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to create a usable PowerPoint presentation, poster, and pocket field guide to facilitate increased public understanding of the Great Lakes Piping Plover Conservation Program.
Trisha Send of Suttons Bay, Mich., studied the effectiveness of four fungicides to determine if they were all needed to prevent a common fungal disease affecting sweet cherries. Her results showed that not all of the fungicides were needed in inhibiting American Brown Rot. These findings are important because cherry famers can limit their exposure to the fungicides and also save money.
Shelby Stempky of Cheboygan, Mich., compared the killing ability of the complement systems of the Atlantic salmon (Salmosalar) and human beings (Homo Sapiens) to see their affects on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The bacteria in the human blood serum had a survival percentage of 19.19% for Staphylococcus epidermidis and 22.42% for Escherichia coli. The survival rate of both types of bacteria in Atlantic salmon exceeded the 100% survival rate set by the control data. We can conclude the human blood serum killed the bacteria more effectively and the Atlantic salmon serum displayed resistance towards the complement at 37°C.
Kaitlyn Stoltzfus of Muskegon, Mich., investigated the public interest in participating in a project designed to reduce the amount of trash by a local water supply in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. She used various outreach efforts in coordination with the Chippewa/Luce/Mackinac Conservation District to implement a cleanup event and encourage volunteer participation. This project served to reduce the gap in communication and understanding between the science community and the general public while eliminating some of the waste entering the local water supply.
Emily Wonser of Erie, Mich., studied the feeding rates and diet of Purple Martin nestlings, in the Monroe County area. Purple Martins are aerial insectivores that migrate from South America to North America to breed over the summer months. Motion sensor cameras were used to capture footage of parents visiting a nesting compartment. Wonser found that the survival of Purple Martin nestlings was dependent on the diet they received before fledging. She identified dragonflies as an important food item to older nestlings. Her methods also demonstrated effective use of video for monitoring nesting of this species.
Josh Zuber of Montrose, Mich., studied the effects of river discharge on the condition of smallmouth bass in the Flint River. Preliminary results show an increase in lengths and weights of the fish as they age with no sign of poor health. This is important because the Flint River is popular among fisherman during the fishing season.

|General Forced Induction The place to chat about turbochargers, superchargers nitrous systems and custom engine fabrications.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
There's your turbo kit, and depending on how many miles you have on the svt, you could run low boost until you can get the block built, tuning on top of that will probably run you around 500, so you're looking at 2k in this scenario, certainly not gonna cost u 3-5k to run a boosted setup
Honestly, if you REALLY want boost.....save your money and do it right. You'll save time, headache and money because you won't buy crappy parts first then have to buy the same, good parts, again.
Tom can really help you plan a build and you can purchase things over a long period of time.
I don't get the question?
Do you want to know more about the SPA? or other turbos that may be out there?
IMO if you do not have at least 3500-5k to spend on a turbo kit (tuning included) don't even try it... you're setting yourself up for failure.
|From what I've read, the spa turbo's are famous for blown oil seal, but thats not to say no one ever has great luck with them, however, their manifolds are great, since they're cast iron. Garrett, turbonetics, ihi, holset are a few good names out there are far as turbos, and whichever model u want from any of those brands will depend on ur power goals, not my area of expertise when it comes down to the models, but the gurus will of course chime in. As far as cost. If you want a completed kit, its definitely going to cost a bit more since its a complete kit, and it of course saves you time. If you're trying to boost on a budget, like I have, then piece it together yourself. This will of course take longer, but trust me when I say having patience will certainly serve its rewards, as I've been able to find some awesome deals and I'm just about completed with my kit. Total cost so far, is around 1500, and this includes a turbo that I now have on the way, intercooler, plumbing, bov, manifold, wastegate, etc,AND a built block, most pay more than that for just the turbo kit itself, then there's the block they have to be concerned about, if they really want it to be reliable. And then there's the cost of tuning. So with what I've saved from not getting a completed kit, I can use towards other stuff, so it definitely can be done on a budget, just takes a little time. But don't get the wrong idea about complete kits, there's more benefits aside from just time you'd save, like the support if something wasn't working properly, you'd only have to go to one place, that amongst other things. But that's just my opinion and what i did, you can approach this whatever way you feel like. Best of luck to ya.
Wanting a turbo
I found a spa turbo and looking at getting it I don't have no 3000 or even 2000 to drop on a turbo. And if you guy know any more let me know I have a 04 svt and a tune I have a tom tune on my car now but it all na. Thank you

A friend of a friend who I don't like very much decided to go train Judo at a well known club. He's one of these guys who has done and seen everything. If you've got a lotus elise then he's got a Ferrari, you know the type.
Anyhow, he's your classic cage fighter wannabe who genuinely does refer to BJJ/MMA as "UFC". He's a big guy and I suspect he's probably a bit of a bully, although I've only ever seen him behave like a know it all twat rather than a bully.
He goes along to a beginners Judo class and within fifteen minutes he's telling the instructor that he's teaching techniques wrong. He's making remarks to the instructor who was teaching some groundwork like "what good is that when your opponent is raining down punches on your head"?
There is absolutely no disputing the fact that this guy is a grade A bellend. I have heard of people turning up to martial arts classes and behaving like this but I have always felt it to be a bit of an urban myth. Until now I have never personally known someone do it. Although I didn't actually witness this clown's idiocy, I do believe that what I have been told about his attitude during this class is accurate and that he did indeed behave like a complete and utter tool.
The instructor could and perhaps should have just asked him to leave, but instead he insisted on having a roll with this guy seeing as he seemed to know so much. As you can imagine, it was one way traffic and it apparently got kinda nasty. My understanding is that bellend tapped very late and got choked out. He now alleges that he's been assaulted by this instructor and has reported the matter to the police.
I think it's fair to say that this instructor did go too hard on a guy who was clearly nowhere near his level, despite bellends bragging. How do you instructors deal with this kind of thing? Does it happen often? Have you had a few 'friendly' rolls with know it alls with stinking attitudes that you have let go too far?
Is it assault or is it fair game when someone comes into your dojo giving it large?

removing nails from unsealed shingles (made a mistake but the weather is cold...)
Having spent 2 months correcting a saggy old 22' x 12' (16"oc/plywood sheathing) patio roof that was roofed over last year before I bought the home, I've recently replaced the shoddy metal roofing backdoor overhang adjacent to the porch roof, extending the patio overhang to make a grand total of around 30'x12'.
I spent ample time refreshing my brain on order of material installation (having worked with roofing crews many moons ago), however, I misread nail placement. I'm not all the way done, having made it about 1 1/2 bundles up the extension.
I'm so broke from a year of projects that I cannot even afford another bundle of shingles right now. With that in mind, I'd be interested in feedback on a few scenarios:
Fortunately, its about 55 during the day and 25 at night, so the tar has yet to seal. I can reach the nails from below the sheathing, any experienced advice appreciated! would it be better to:
A) tap the nails out, refelt, and renail shingles properly? If this is best option, would it be best to use cement over the old holes? The improper nailing is 2" down from the top edge so the nail holes would be very well covered.
B) tap the nails from below sideways so they cant popup down the road, and carefully hand nail in nails in proper location? in 55 degree weather, shingles are pliable, though they havent sealed.
c) Neither of the above, instead use roofing cement at the tabs and properly nail the remaining shingles?
If this was above the main house I would be redoing, no questions asked. Given that this is exterior roofing and I broke, I seek yall's wisdom.
Thanks much,
I'm not even sure what it is your asking.
Forgot to put down tar paper?
Not enough nails? Ok so what type shingles are they, how many nails did you use, and where did you place them?
All that info is right on the package and on line on the manufactures web site.
Fair enough- I was racing the clock to wrap up that post before I left work. 3 tab 25 year shingles. Drip edge and felt, everything spot on except nail placement, which as it goes the install instructions do not mention placing nail below tar line and above the saddle (the picture explanation of nailing 1.5-2" from the left and right ends gives the impression that nails are to be driven that distance from the top of the shingles).
To better elaborate- nails are 2" from the top, about 3" above the tar strip (about 10" above bottom edge of tabs). I'm in nashville where it gets windy, though this side of the house is on leyward side of where storms come in... My question boils down to- given where nails are placed (it's about a 7x5' area and I have another 7x 5' to go which will be nailed properly which I'm holding off on until I figure out the best move here). I don't mind carefully removing nails and renailing unless this is a big no no. I'd basically have to redo later as buying 2 bundles of shingles is not in the budget. I could either remove nails and renail properly (and cement nail holes from where I removed improperly placed nails) or leave those nails be, drive in nails in proper locale where possible, and buy a little time by putting roofing cement under tabs, as they have not set in tar because it's been cold...
Quick follow up- having gotten home and taken a better look, nailing in the proper locale with shingles in place is unrealistic, and due to the fact that each shingle only has 4 not 8 nails holding it down, this needs to be redone. The lesson I try to follow and regret when I don't- rushing something is a big mistake (in my defense, time and weather were big factors). Now that money is the biggest factor, what I plan on doing is carefully removing nails (4per shingle), refelting, properly nailing in shingles and putting a dab of cement over the nail holes before installing the next course working up (I.e. the nail holes will be well covered by the overlapping shingle). If this sounds like a horrible idea please chime in!
These are brand new shingles that due to the cold weather have not sealed to each other yet, making careful removal possible. Unfortunately the only option available, as waiting until mid Decembers paycheck would be more potentially problematic...
#1 The roof should not have been even started until you have all the shingles need for the job on hand.
Exposed tar paper it going to wrinkle if it's even exposed to morning dew.
Three tab shingles get 4 nails not 8.
There's no reason to remove the nails you have in already, and there no reason you can not just gently lift up what you have down and add the nails where they were suppose to be.
Please tell me you installed the first row turned around to act as a starter strip and left around 1" of over hang at the bottom and at least 3/8 on the rake.
It should be easy to lift the tabs and add more nails if it hasn't sealed, as joe stated.
If you cant nail below the tar line, try to nail half in half out. If you can get the head half in the tar, it will still seal and be low enough.
Thanks much for the input. All in all I lucked out- I would have finished up the small roofing job yesterday but stopped halfway as I wondered how it is these shingles would seal if its not getting hot enough outside... My research led me to discover its not a bad idea to use a dab of roofing cement at the corner of each tab (just above the tar), and during this research I soon noticed many photos revealing the proper nail location (poorly displayed on manufacturers bundles) and thus had my temporary oh **** moment... When I checked last night the shingles did not seem like they would at all cooperate with being lifted, which had to do with the 25 degree temp (an FYI for any non-roofers taking on a project). Sure enough, this morning's 40 degree temp made it a piece of cake to carefully sneak nails in just below the tar while leaving enough overlap room. Glad I saw your post this morning! Much easier than starting over.
As per 8 nails- I meant 8 nails total holding each shingle down when considering the nails from the next course up will also be going through each shingle (i.e 4 nails properly placed below the tar line, and 4 nails from the shingles that will overlap). This is mentioned on the roofing forum, in a chat that mentions how uninformed folk like myself often make the assumption that the higher the better to nail, so as to leave less of a chance for water to reach the nail hole. In doing so, the nails from the next course up don't do the thing they're supposed to, which is lend holding power. In addition, this is how shingles blow off because by nailing it high will slightly prop up the tabs at the bottom which can interfere with sealing, coupled with leaving all that extra unfastened/unsealed space to lift up when the wind finally shows up...
This sure made since as soon as I read it (halfway through my small project), though its easy enough to overlook because the job was looking sharp otherwise. All other de-facto installation processes and nailing schedules were adhered to- starter course, drip edge, overhang, clean lines and a proper tie-in to a horizontal and vertical edge.
What should have been the most simple facet nearly cost me certain headache down the road, lesson learned!
Go gentle with a small prybar. Add addition nails at the little tar line in the middle of shingle.

|[jira] Created: (WINK-226) need fallback for Class.forName in J2EE environments

need fallback for Class.forName in J2EE environments ---------------------------------------------------- Key: WINK-226 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WINK-226 Project: Wink Issue Type: Bug Components: Server Affects Versions: 1.1 Reporter: Mike Rheinheimer Fix For: 1.1 In J2EE environments, the Wink libraries may be managed by a different classloader (A) than the Application subclass (B). In these cases, (A) needs to load (B) by way of Class.forName(B). However, due to the J2EE environment, and classloader hierarchies, (A) does not have visibility into (B). The solution is to use the thread context classloader instead of Class.forName, which uses the system classloader. This "try thread context classloader first, then fallback to system classloader" functionality is built into org.apache.commons.lang.ClassUtils.getClass(String). We already have a dependency on Apache commons in wink-server, so I figure we can just use that. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Is Engine Flush OK to use?
I have a car with 98k miles on it. I have talked with a couple of guys who have told me to flush the engine with 5 minute Motor Flush. I thought you were suppose to stay away from something like that as it would clog up the passages with gunk. Anyone have an answer on whether I should use it on my car or not?
A total waste of money, throw a litre of trans fluid in before your next oil change if you like...does the same thing.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
just add- i'd run a quart of atf for a few miles prior to changing your oil.
the 5 min flush is garbage... it's basically koresene, so when you shut your engine off after running this stuff, you have NO oil coating on your bearing surfaces.. talk about dry start afterwards. not only that, but ya run the risk of flushing the junk out that is the only thing left holding your bearings in one place!!
Like usual 4 Jaw is right on the money. Trans fluid will clean it up slowly. The 5 minute flush can cause serious problems on an engine of high mileage. If the engine has build-up, the flush will likely break up large pieces and cause oil starvation somewhere.
Fact or opinion???
Before someone goes into saying engine flushing is a waste, and to use ATF fluid, lets lay down some facts. Not all flushes are the same!!!!!
ATF fluid is complicated...not only does it have to lubricate, but it also has to allow enough friction for clutches in the trans to engage. This is designed for a trans, not an engine....Do not put ATF into your Engine. It is not going to provide the protection and it is not designed for inside the engine, it only thins oil. If you want an old school flush, use deisel fuel(same problem though, not designed for internal engine and has no lubrication or correct lubrication properties.
A good engine flush will be based on a synthetic lubricant such as Dialkyl Zinc which is designed to protect the internal parts during the flush. Some flushes don't have this property and yes, you are asking for trouble. I only know of a few that have this lubricating ability and break down debris as to breaking loose.
Enviro-Tek, Pro Tec, and Amsoil are a few. Pretty sure the Amsoil has this component to it.
I hope this helps....and at least help prevent someone from putting a fluid not designed for the engine into it.
If you do use an engine flush, you will have to change your filter about every five minutes. There is 98K miles of junk built up inside that engine. Do you think one filter is going to contain it? Once that filter clogs it will go into by-pass, then all that garbage will be circulation around in the engine until you replace the filter, or change the oil. Best bet is to leave it alone, do nothing unless you are having an oil flow problem.
engine flush
You do a flush before the oil change. Then you change the oil and the filter. You drain the flush, old oil, and contaminents out of the pan. The flush doesn't remain in the system. There would be no more of the engine being flushed after that.
I don't believe in none of it.On a high milage motor change oil more frequently,just keep the oil changed when it starts looking dirty.And don't beat it(the engine!!).
If the motor is realy beat I use non-detergent to keep the gunk in there as its probably the only thing holding the lifters from collapsing.
Last guy I know that used motor oil flush on a beat motor,had a beat motor with a rodknock afterward.
I have been working on cars for well over 30 years. I have seen numerous engines that have been flushed out using the flushes that are sold. I have made alot of money on engines that have had problems because of large amounts of sludge that was broken loose by these products. I have also never had to go into an engine that has had ATF run in it to clean it out, because of damage caused by that. It does take some time for the engine to clean out that way, but it will help as time goes on, by using it on every oil change. There are always some kinds of products on the market, that make all kinds of claims.
That is strictly my opinion, based on my experience. I only recommend what I have tried and know works. I never believe what I read on product labels and advertisements, without seeing actual results myself.
I had one of our old well regarded chemist on our unit tell me one day that ATF is the most engineered lubricant in the world.
I see no need for flush. Just use good oil & filters, and change them regularly. 98,000 miles is not that much for a modern engine. My friend has a '85 Toyota Tercel that has had the pi$$ run out of it for almost 200,000 miles. He kept the oil & filter changed every 3000 miles & always used Castrol GTX. The only oil the car uses is what comes out of the front seal, which is the original part. My '88 T-bird also has been beat on all its life but has had excellent maintenance. It burns very little oil at 173,000, although one valve cover does leak a bit, and it runs as well as it ever did. If it's running OK, I'd leave it alone.

Ballistic, one of the leaders in mobile device protection is back with the Aspira Series Case for the Android phone! Constructed with a durable shock-absorbing rubber core and a high polished plastic exterior shell, the Aspira Case offers dual-layer protection in a slim form factor.
This Android phone hybrid case doesn't come in two separate pieces. Both the rubber core and plastic shell are fused together with reinforced corner protection against serious drops. The Aspira Case itself is still flexible with both molds, making it easy to install around most Android phones and remove it, when necessary.
As you might expect, there's complete access to the display, camera and ports of your device. The side buttons around the Aspira Case are raised to provide you with easier access while most Android phones is protected. The high polish finish on the plastic shell that encompasses the rubber core is extremely smooth and comfortable to hold. The downside is that this kind of finish does pick up fingerprints and smudges pretty quickly, but nothing a simple wipe down with a cloth or shirt can't take care of.
The Android phone Aspira Case is also designed to elevate your screen from flat surfaces when placed face-down, keeping you safe from scratches. As a whole, the Aspira Series is a great option for a sleek case with dual-layers!

Using a 245/275 combo puts you perfectly in BMW's recommended street stagger of a 30mm difference front/rear. Remember stock? 225/255. Yes, a 30mm difference in the stagger.
most people will not notice the shortcomings of a staggered set up while driving even moderately hard in the street.
Now, go to the track and take a 30 mm stagger and drive it REALLY hard ..nine tenths or 10 tenths effort and the fronts are going to get overpowered by the wider contact rears. Serious UNDER STEER is the result.
If you are not experiencing under steer then you are not pushing the car hard enough yet.
There are countless articles and threads on staggered tires and under steer. That is why a square set up is ideal for the track but not REALLY necessary for the street.
Here is just a couple examples of the scores of material written about staggered tires on the track. Notice that not everyone experiences understeer because they are not yet the skill level where it will eventually become apparent.
Or maybe the track they frequent doesnt have very many challenging curves/turns.
My first set of tires were 245/275 in 19 inch Bridgestone RE-01's (predecessor to famous RE-11's. They were almost the same really) which did very well on the track. ii drove them at Sebring and had a great time. maybe it was because i cheated by having some TOE OUT set on my fronts which helped combat under steer. I had been experiencing serious under steering at homestead track and I never understood until later. I did some homework. That's when i used the toe out on my fronts and the front anti sway bar trick (sotften your adjustable to full soft).
Experiencing for the first time: four 18 inch DForce wheels and 265/35x18 BFG-R1 track tires...basically slicks of the SAME size on all four corners.
What a difference. Never again the staggered street tires. Dont get me wrong. I had a lot of fun on the 245/275 set up. You can work around the under steer by adding toe OUT on the fronts. Also make sure your fronts are maybe running a couple psi lower so the sidewalls flex maybe a small amount. it really helps keep them planted on a hard turn. i also SOFTENED my front anti sway bar which helps with any under steer. I run it full stiff for the 265mm square set up. I can finally fit 275's in the front because i went from the really LOW KW's to a higher riding TC Kline coil overs.

That's an excellent combo.,,,maybe ideal.A 265 in the front is the way to go. its hard to make a 265mm tire plow! They just stick. Sometime you just NEED the wide rubber in the back for traction!
Yes, do loose your current set up.

Good for you and good for him, so what. Proves nothing in my case. Of course I do not know everything, but I can pretty much tear down and rebuild every unknown to me engine and put it back together to run forever. Same with ATX and no formal training in it. I have rebuilt many, they all lasted for years. Those people in Detroit know no more than us and the knowledge is out there. An SPI or zetec is a tinker toy to me. You should try like a six cylinder motorcycle like I have. Far more parts.
Clearly your mech did not want to do extra stuff to do the swap, all mechanics are in it for the money. That means you do the easy work and avoid the troublesome stuff if you're smart. You should try it for awhile, lose enough money and you'll come around to why he was the way he was. Of course they have to lie to back it up. At our garage, we wouldn't lie, just say why we won't do it and then offer the swap but at high enough cost to generally drive them away anyway. Everybody has big ideas until the money figure shows up. One is not in business to give money away to others. Problem is, the public now expects you to or you are not giving them FULL service, the major reason I left the parts business.
I do 100% of my own work, have never paid a cent to have work done except maybe machine work. I could do that if had the equipment.

So, I have been loving my new WRX. And of course, it was only a matter time before I got my first paint chip. It made quite an impression!
Has anyone had any experience with this stuff?
Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems
I went to the dealer to get some touch up paint, and my service rep stopped me and said that stuff was waaay better. It looks like a great way to go, but if anyone has a horror story, please let me know. Or if anyone has any better ideas, please let me know.

I've held the gun a couple of times, and I don't really care much for the grip either...
I purchased a Beretta NEOS last year and now it tends to sit ignored. Partially it's because I'm shooting more centerfire. Partially because it hurts my hand to shoot it.
The danged grip is just TOO SMALL! I have a side project where I'm building up layers on a replacement grip but still, this thing is PLASTIC. It shouldn't be more than a couple of hours of work to design a larger version and send it off to be stamped out by the thousands for Beretta.
I mean, why bother with making them in assorted colors if they are all the same tiny size? Do I care if my grip is red or blue? I care if I can shoot the pistol accurately and comfortably.
I've held the gun a couple of times, and I don't really care much for the grip either...
I picked up one at the gun show. I didn't care much for it. Some little kid knocked me out of the way to show it to his dad. I just smiled and walked on.
U mean U didn't show that kid how to properly hold the gun between his butt cheeks after he knocked U out of the way?Originally Posted by Baldy
Ha! Ha! After raising a house full myself I know how it can be with the little ones. I think I might have been like him at 8 or 10 yrs old wanting Dad to buy it in the worst way. After all that thing in Red looks like it could save the world. Ha! Ha!
[quote=Baldy]..I think I might have been like him at 8 or 10 yrs old wanting Dad to buy it in the worst way../quote]
You'd have only put your eye out.
Those Neos point like a turd. I'd close my eyes, pick it up with my shooting hand and EVERY time I put eyes to the sights it was crooked in my hand. I'd have a better chance hitting something by throwing it.
DD your probly right I didn't get that far with it. I just didn't like the feel of it. That little boy was so excited I had to laugh.
My brother has one but I've never fired it. As big as it is and in 22 I wouldn't have figured it would be painful at all to shoot. I did think it looked kinda silly.
I just picked one up.
Funny it felt like it was made for my hand and my wife loved the grip too. I went to pick up a ruger mark II and got the NEO instead.
Off to the range later this week.
AFS give us a range report on it and some pictures will ya? I was wondering how it shot.
Let us know how U like it when U shoot it....
Will do!
Going tomorrow I think.
Wife can't wait and the red dot is mounted.
This gun is fun!!
Shot 2 types of Ammo.
CCI mini mags and Remington.
The CCI ammo had the NEO performing flawlessly. After the Red Dot got sighted in I was shooting 1 inch groups at 10 yards without any effort. The trigger was super.With the Remington I had 3 FTF (Fail to Feed) in 200 rounds. I had to resight the reddot as the Rem was shooting about 2 inches low from the CCI. The Remington was giving me about 1 1/2 inch groups.
Photos to follow.
Sounds good to me. I always liked CCI's better than Rems anyway.

The former Questar Corp. headquarters building in downtown Salt Lake City has been purchased by The Boyer Company.
Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce, a Utah-based commercial real estate services firm that helped with the sale, said Boyer purchased the building from Starwood Capital of Washington, D.C.
"This sale demonstrates a strengthening in the market," Kip Paul, executive director of investment for Cushman, said in a statement announcing the sale. "Although the building has been vacant for about a year, we were able to generate eight offers in two weeks and The Boyer Co. came out on top."
He added the multiple offers on the property represent a return to a more competitive market.
Paul said that part of the appeal of the building is that it sits on 4.88 acres, which is almost half a city block situated diagonally across from City Creek. "The new owners will be looking at options on how to make use of the building and will likely build on the vacant property."
Questar vacated the building after it constructed a headquarters building a few blocks away in downtown Salt Lake City.

Sitting at my desk this morning, finishing up my normal routine of scanning the blogosphere, I came across a very interesting post about a woman who paid off $14,330 worth of credit card debt in 20 months. No, she didn't win the lottery or sell her car; she simply employed tips and tricks from previous articles on the site. Most of the tips are obvious - like cutting back on unnecessary expenses and paying more than the minimum on your monthly payments - but don't let that fool you into thinking it is not worth the read, there are still many great ideas, tips and a handy spreadsheet or two.
You can read the consumerist.com article here at consumerist.com.
For those who don't know, the consumerist focuses on - you guessed it - consumer experiences and issues. It is a great resource for the savvy shopper or one who wants to sharpen their purchasing skills.
That is a great article. I am going to put those recommendations into practice and see if I can't bring my debt down.
