The BMC Racing Team brings a mix of classics riders and proven climbers to the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec and Montréal to face a pair of courses that have traditionally been races of attrition.
Frank Is One Option
Friday's race in Québec is 16 laps of a 12.6 kilometer circuit for a total of 201.6 km. Sunday's race in Montreal is 205.7 km comprising 17 laps of a 12.1 km circuit. Both are well-suited to the squad the BMC Racing Team brings to Canada, Assistant Director Michael Sayers said. "Mathias Frank is going exceptionally well right now, so he'll be one of our main guys," Sayers said. "Greg Van Avermaet is also well-suited for races like this and Marcus Burghardt has some great form, too." Swiss national road champion Martin Kohler – one of seven BMC Racing Team riders competing in the races for the first time – said he is ready to provide support for the team's leaders. "As I saw from the results of last year, it's a very hard course," Kohler said. "Both races are courses for climbers. These races will be good for me because I prefer when the tempo is hard for the whole four or five hours, not just the first and last ones."

Longer days prompt questions about the yard
Grubs can be controlled with an application of granular insecticides. Elimination of grubs with insecticides may take two to three months for adequate control. The entire lawn or garden area must be treated. Spear type traps kill the moles as they move about in the tunnels. Locate a frequently used tunnel by caving in a short section and observing daily to determine which run is being used. These tunnels are usually straighter than most. Repeat this process for two or three days; then place the traps on the major runways. The mole is speared by a spring-loaded mechanism on the trap. One or two traps should be enough for the average-sized lawn.

I have a Browning Cobra Recurve bow my father gave to me. It still has the original strings on it. He bought it years ago while he was a instructor in the U.S Navy over in Great Lakes. He took it out to hunt camp several times but never took a critter with it, just a lot of empty beer cans. My interest was peeked again when I received a catalog from 3 rivers archery on Trad bows and accessories. I did call 3 river but the order department had no clue as to measure for some Flemish strings. The Bow techs will be back Monday. I figured that I would post here before I made an order. I would like to get the bow shooting again, It's in great shape. I would like to shoot Trad too.
It's a browning Cobra bow. My father bought it around 1972. It has the serial number on the side plus 50#, 50" a.mo.
What string length do I order?. Everyone keeps telling me to make sure it's Flemish.

On the strength of a formidable lead out by the BMC Racing Team, Greg Van Avermaet sprinted to a runner-up finish Wednesday on the opening stage of the Volta ao Algarve.
Tremendous Teamwork
Steve Cummings and Tejay van Garderen set a torrid pace up the final climb in the final kilometers of the 151 km race to position Van Amermaet for the downhill sprint. But the Paris-Tours winner could not overtake stage winner Gianni Meersman (Lotto-Belisol). "Meersman went with 250 or 200 meters to go, which I thought it was a bit too early, but it was downhill," Van Avermaet said. "It was good teamwork to get me up front." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe agreed. "I'm really happy the team is like this, with Tejay and Steve – two leaders themselves – doing the lead out for Greg," Verbrugghe said. "That means the spirit of the team is really good." Van Garderen, second overall at this race last year, said it helped to know the finish. "This is my fifth time doing this race," he said. "I'm beginning to feel like George Hincapie does when it comes to the Tour de France."

2014 Outlook on Retail
Interview with Alison Kenney Paul
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Amid the ongoing economic uncertainties, retailers should continue to focus on and invest in understanding the customer psyche and leverage innovation to drive loyalty and customer engagement," says Alison Kenney Paul, vice chairman and U.S. Retail and Distribution leader, Deloitte LLP. In the following interview, Paul shares her thoughts on the trends and challenges facing the retail industry in 2014, as well as steps companies can take to grow.
What are the biggest challenges facing your industry in the coming year?
"Understanding how your customer expects to be 'spoken with' — whether through an app on her smartphone as she shops in your store or via an instant chat on your website — will continue to challenge retailers well into 2014."
The customer is rapidly changing. They are better informed, more interactive and more selective than ever before. Our 2013 holiday shopping survey bears this out as nearly 60 percent of respondents feel they are better connected to coupons, competitive pricing and what retailers sell than store associates themselves. What retailers are seeking are ways to deliver high-touch, personalized experiences to their customers; in other words, a truly omnichannel experience. Unfortunately, many retailers still rely heavily on the "old school" approach — mass advertising and promotions that do not speak directly to the omnichannel customer. Understanding how your customer expects to be "spoken with" — whether through an app on her smartphone as she shops in your store or via an instant chat on your website — will continue to challenge retailers well into 2014. Getting personalization right can help build loyalty and prevent the dreaded showrooming effect that puts so much pressure on margins.
A particularly important way for retailers to be successful at personalization, though, is to develop meaningful insights about the customer. The second big challenge for retailers in 2014 will continue to be mining the mountains of customer data and deriving relevant, actionable insights from them. This imperative refers not only to historical data, but also predictive data about what the customer will want in the future through the development of sophisticated modeling techniques.
A big challenge for the brick-and-mortar retailers is that the purely online players are trying to become more like the brick-and-mortars. Historically, the distinct advantage of the brick-and-mortar retailers over the purely online players has been their ability to provide product experience through touch and feel. Now, however, the online retailers are offsetting this immediate gratification by creating an emotional rush through flash sales, social shopping and near-real experience through augmented reality (AR) apps. As such, the brick- and-mortars need to leverage every opportunity they have to engage customers and build loyalty that endures. Innovative technologies — such as smart shelves, Wi-Fi hot spots, point-of-sales (POS) systems, virtual storefronts and endless aisles — are effective tools to engage customers both in-store and elsewhere.
Finally, a big challenge for all retailers concerns the supply chain. As customers demand instant gratification, the industry is faced with a myriad of supply chain challenges — and opportunities. Same-day delivery and free shipping are no longer unique — they are expected. In our 2013 holiday survey, 71 percent of respondents said they would take advantage of free shipping if offered. And, a bit more than two thirds (68 percent) said that they were more likely to shop online if the retailer offered free shipping. Additional customer expectations — inventory availability, free returns and "buy online /pickup in-store"—are driving retailers to test new approaches to their legacy supply chains.
What trends might disrupt "business as usual" in 2014?
Retailers are usually conservative when it comes to research and development budgeting. Amid this transformative environment where customers seek greater value, it is crucial that retailers invest in innovative in-store technologies. Mobile point of sales (mPoS) is no more a "nice-to-have" but is a "must-have" technology. Our holiday survey reveals that 60 percent of customers plan to use in-store self-help technologies, such as price checkers, self-checkout payment lanes, information kiosks, digital signage, etc. during their holiday shopping this season.
Additionally, retailers should keep an eye on the rapid growth of 3D printing applications — from typical industrial prototyping to printing of consumer products. Printing customized and on-demand products in-store will revolutionize the customer experience and help retailers improve their inventory and supply chain management. At the same time, as personal 3D printers become affordable, retailers need to deliver a unique store experience, since a small, but increasing, percentage of customers will be able to print products themselves at home.
Retailers have done a great job in deploying data-capturing technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) to get a snapshot of inventory at any given moment. What is newer — and a real potential disruptive trend for retailers — is deploying systems to get a dynamic picture of what is actually taking place in the store — how shoppers walk through a store, the effect of how items are placed on a shelf, etc. This dynamic, integrated view actually has a name — the "Internet of Things" (IoT) — and it gives retailers the opportunity to connect dots across each of the customer touch points. As IoT becomes more a more a reality (and requirement) — and less and less an abstraction — retailers will need to build the infrastructure to connect people-to-people (P2P), machine-to-people (M2P) and machine-to-machine (M2M) using the internet and cloud, and in the process, deploy advanced analytics to derive meaningful insight from these integrated systems. Some players are already savvy to IoT. Others will need to be — and soon.
What are some steps companies can take to foster innovation and/or growth?
According to our holiday survey, some 68 percent of smartphone owners and 63 percent of tablet owners plan to use their devices for holiday shopping (primarily to get store locations, compare prices and get product reviews). Amid increasing use of digital and social media, retailers find it difficult to keep pace as customers embrace new technologies and platforms. Retailers should take a step back from this rush for the "latest and greatest" technologies and focus only on the ones that help enhance their brand proposition. Retailers cannot be good at everything, so it is important to know what is critical and invest in those areas.
While domestic markets are expected to grow only moderately, international expansion provides retailers access to new markets. At the same time, the growing middle-to-upper class populations in those regions with "new" disposable income make those markets attractive for many retailers. Growth opportunities are ripe, but success in international markets depends on a number of strategic, operational and regulatory and compliance factors, among other dynamics. Companies that can manage these hurdles either alone or with suitable partners will tread the growth path in international markets.

The ongoing Italian investigation, which includes two of our current members, Alessandro Ballan and Mauro Santambrogio, continues. The investigation started when the two were not part of the BMC Racing Team.
Team Policy
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said new information received, along with consideration of the team's anti-doping policy and the UCI's Code of Conduct, means the two will be held out of competition pending further details. Both riders have been cooperating fully with the investigation, and, as we did last year, we will respect their presumption of innocence and we expect them to continue their full support to the authorities. Ochowicz said the team will monitor the investigation and both riders will have to personally address any accusations on their own.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Polyglass 100 CVX by Buck Pomerantz Focal's Polyglass CVX speakers use precision craftmanship and advanced materials to make a strong sonic impression. These sturdy 2-way speakers bring superb sound quality to the factory speaker locations in your vehicle. 2-layer woofer cone The 100 CVX 4" speakers feature a Polyglass cone that's created by depositing a layer of hollow glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose pulp. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose with the incredible strength of glass, for a cone that responds rapidly with extremely low resonance. A butyl rubber surround helps control cone movement and promotes high power handling. The ABS plastic basket provides a strong, non-resonant housing for accurate, uncolored sound. Unique tweeter design Focal designed the aluminum inverted dome tweeter to disperse high frequencies evenly for a big, open soundstage. You can rotate the tweeter to improve definition in your listening area. The built-in 2-way crossover ensures a smooth transition from lows to highs, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Grilles are included.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp. Surround: The butyl rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Basket: The woofer features a basket made of 20% fiberglass filled ABS. Voice Coil: The voice coil is wound around a 1" diameter low-mass Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Inverted Dome Tweeter: The tweeter is an inverted aluminum dome, producing a broad sound stage. The tweeter rotates on its post, so it can be pointed toward the listener. Crossover: The 12 dB/octave crossovers built onto the back of the speaker use audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and air core inductors to ensure high definition and a dynamic sound quality.

Very nice midrange. High quality construction and design, even if made in China. Great punch even though it is only a 4"speaker. Pros: Great construction quality and good performance from a 4" woofer. Cons: Tweeter adjustment is by rotation, angle not as adjustable as I thought. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Crisp Written By Ford Guy, Casper Wyoming on Saturday, July 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers, a true upgrade from the infinity 4"s that I was running. Crutchfield had them on my doorstep 3days from ordering. Another quality purchase, Thanks guys! Pros: Very clean and crisp sound at high volume Cons: Non Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Well worth money spent Written By Josh, Michigan on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Im very pleased with the sound coming from these little speakers.Surprized even, at how clear the highs are and they produce strong mid-range.I've coupled my 4 cvx-100's with the alpine mrp-300 4 channel amp (I'll review it later).Great combination of amp and speaker.I was having a problem with my highs and mids keeping up with the bass from 2 jl 10's, but no more.ALSO i've bought a EQ to bring out the best in these.I HIGHLY SUGGEST BUYING AN EQ,especially if your an autophile like me.Auidocontrol is the best but if your budget doesnt permit that go for the clarion.As a side note, i installed these in a 1990 chevy 1500 regular cab,crutchfeild said i would have to do some work to get them in because they were to deep.all i had to do was double stack the provided install plates and cut out a section of the grill on the b-pillars so the tweetes could come through,then installed focals provided grills over top.DONE.for the fronts i used another crutchfield product called select increments.Its a 4 inch enclosure thats incredibley versitle(ill review later)and i belive made my front speakers sound just a bit bigger than my rears.Overall i dont think you can go wrong with these for the price,they are heavy for there size,handle power well and are crystal clear at high volums.. Pros: Great price,high quality manufacturing,Sound clarity Cons: They are sort of deep but so long as you can do some customizing your good Was this review helpful?

This is a huge upgrade from standard speakers. This speaker is very efficient and is well worth the price Pros: Sound quality Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 A successful experiment Written By Eric-T, 6000 Ft on Thursday, April 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been building speakers for 20 years. I am sorry but I refuse to bury a tweeter under an angled grill in the dash and have all of the midrange get fired into my knee by a 6 1/2 inch woofer. I listen to jazz, acoustic blues and occasionally classical music. I recently bought a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee with defunct head unit and speakers. The advantages of this kind of vehicle is that you can modify without being too worried about reselling and your wife's aesthetics are not an issue. I took out the tweeters, cut the factory plug off and threw them away. I got these Focal Polyglass 100 CVX speakers for a steal. For those of you building a custom system be aware that these drivers are sonically excellent and contain a built in crossover which saves lots of money and simplifies the installation. They are compact enough that I was able to mount them vertically on the dash of the Grand Cherokee. I did this by designing and fabricating a set of speaker brackets out of copper clad steel strap and brass. I soldered the elements together and painted them and the modified grill the same color as the dash. The sound stage is excellent. The timber and attack of trumpet, saxophone and violin are superior in every way to squeak and knee speaker configuration. The Polyglass 100 CVX from Focal deliver "high end" sound and are the perfect size for the cabin of an automobile. Pros: Crossover is built in and very high quality - saves money and time Four inch midrange is perfect size for an automobile cabin. Superior sound reproduction Cons: Speakers are fine. Wish I could have included photograps of my installation. Sorry 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product, Great Price! Written By NateB, Reading, PA on Monday, April 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I put 4 of these in my classic Jag XJ, love how the tweeter can be angled up from the door location to raise the soundstage. They have really come to life after a week of regular listening! The inset crossover bits and overall quality is something that has to be seen to believe. The price you pay for this level of sound and build quality is unreal! Crossed them over at 150Hz, plan on adding a Focal sub soon to fill out the bottom end. Awesome! Fast Shipping, 18 hours from order to delivery! Go Crutchfield! Pros: Awesome quality, Awesome Price! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent product Written By kennymac, philadelphia on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 I'm no audiophile, but I appreciate good music. I've also been a musician for years so I do understand the benefit of balance in a speaker system. These speakers are crystal clear and very transparent, an excellent addition to any auto sound system. They put out plenty of volume, and just rock my SUV. From Fleet Foxes to Soundgarden, these speakers do the job very well. I never thought I would find a good pair of speakers to fit the small 4" location that my vehicle has but thankfully I found these. I'll be replacing my front speakers with Focal polyglass speakers this week, they are that good. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Mass Shootings And Their Effect On The American Psyche
Reaction to Friday's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., has been loud and swift. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called on President Barack Obama to make gun control his No. 1 agenda. The dean of Washington's National Cathedral said, "enough is enough ... the massacre of these 28 people in Connecticut is ... the last straw." A sense of helplessness and frustration is palpable across the nation. While many are calling for more controls on guns and ammunition, others say we must focus on creating a more accessible mental health system. They worry we aren't doing enough to de-stigmatize treatment. Diane and her guests discuss the effects of mass shootings on the American psyche.

White Wall Solutions: Rooms with Texture
All white walls provide a neutral backdrop that lends itself well to introducing texture. Unlike pattern and color, which often make a bold statement, texture may not be quite as obvious, but can still make just as big of an impact. Texture can add dimension to a room, create harmony between different elements, or serve as a focal point. Consciously adding and playing with texture — especially layered and contrasting textures — can be a quick way to transform any room, especially those rentals with stark white walls.
Texture can be seen virtually everywhere, especially once you start looking for it — from the obvious textures found in a shag or seagrass rug to the not so obvious, like the glossy white floors in images 1 and 3 or those amazing metal pendant lights in image 8. You can create the illusion of texture by stenciling a painted pattern on a wall or canvas or blend similar textures together to create harmony in a room. Regardless of how you use it, texture can help you achieve the look you want, despite the surroundings you started with.

Great post! I often think of color and pattern when looking for a change, but don't always think of texture. I like the idea of a subtle change making a big impact.
Most apartments, at least around my area, are beige boxes. Beige walls and ceilings and wall to wall beige carpeting with little to no moldings and uninspired windows. Pretty much all of these photos have a lot either wood floors or architectural details that help to make the space. I'd love to hear suggestions on what to do with a TRULY beige box apartment. :)
I agree with lynell. Every place I've rented was nothing like these beautiful spaces. You could do anything with most of these spaces and they would look great.
I agree with lynell -- all of the apartments I've ever rented have come with beige ("Navajo white") walls, not these beautiful white walls. I'm considering being a rebel and painting white over the beige, and hoping the landlord doesn't notice/care...
I'd be wary of painting w/o permission. The fees to repaint charged by landlord/leasing co. to repaint to original condition of ugly paint color can be ungodly. In my experience, it was always best to ask permission and then repaint before moving out (getting everything in writing!).
The 'House to Home' stone & plaster moldings look great, but not a renter solution - the weight of those things would need to be drilled into steel or heavy wooden beams. Landlords wouldn't necessarily be too okay with that.
Though without a doubt gorgeous, these are not typical apartments and so not really realistic for the average renter. Totally agree with Lynell and co and would love to see a more realistic selection.
Though without a doubt gorgeous, these are not typical apartments and so not really realistic for the average renter. Totally agree with Lynell and co and would love to see a more realistic selection.
Right, so not like the beige boxes I am used to. I found out that soft and shaggy texture adds to the dullness of a beige box. I counter this with hard, glossy surfaces: waxed / varnished polished wood furniture, glossy metal, glass, acrylic or enamel. Satin, tafetta or silk (I wish). Try glossy wrapping or craft paper behind your artwork to make it pop off these blah walls (ingrain beige wallpaper...)

Like a piece of abstract art, this enhancer combines color and design in a unique statement. The brilliance of genuine gemstones - blue and green turquoise, red and salmon coral, orange spiny oyster and charoite - symbolize a playful spirit. The contemporary design, set into sterling silver, makes it a unique expression of the joy and celebration that inspired it. Enhancer measures 4" long x 1" wide and has a sterling silver snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

text: The anemometer that was used to measure the 231 mph wind was known as 'old No. 2' and it is located in the museum on the summit. It wasn't a 3 cup but about a 6" diameter cylinder or drum, maybe 2" thick, with 6 'scoops' on its diameter to catch the wind. The wind speed was measured by timing 'clicks' from electrical contact closures made every so many revolutions of the drum. There is a photo of this anemometer (between p170 and p171) in 'The Worst Weather on Earth' published by the MWO in 1991.Bill O-"The 231 was recorded with a modified 3-cup, not a pitot. Well, it worked on the same principal as a 3-cup."

Unique Partnership Benefits Diabetes Research, Education and Advocacy
Houston, TX - May 13, 2013
Diabetes affects more than 30 million people in North America. A new partnership may help change the future of diabetes.
The Dignity Memorial® network of more than 1,800 funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers is partnering with Alternative Solutions USA, a non-profit medical implant recycling program, to donate the proceeds from recycling metals retrieved after the cremation process to the American Diabetes Association.
In partnership with Alternative Solutions USA, Dignity Memorial providers will collect all metals – including but not limited to orthopedic implants, dental prosthetics and casket hardware – recovered after the cremation process regardless of type, shape, size or condition. Alternative Solutions USA will arrange for transfer of those metals to a recycling facility. The proceeds from the recycling will be donated on behalf of the Dignity Memorial network to the American Diabetes Association.
This new partnership will build on the Dignity Memorial network's history of serving as a proud supporter of the American Diabetes Association, participating each year as Team Dignity in the American Diabetes Association's Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes® and Tour de Cure® cycling event.
"More than 30 million people in North America have diabetes, which means nearly one in four Dignity Memorial associates and client family members are personally impacted by this disease," said Phil Jacobs, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for the Dignity Memorial network. "This partnership is another way we can help to stop this deadly disease."

The Dignity Memorial network of more than 1,800 funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers is North America's most trusted resource for funeral and memorialization services.

For more information, visit www.AlternativeSolutionsUSA.com.
American Diabetes Association
The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight to Stop Diabetes and its deadly consequences and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. Founded in 1940, their mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

A blood glucose test measures the amount of a sugar called glucose in a sample of your blood.
Glucose is a major source of energy for most cells of the body, including those in the brain. Carbohydrates (or carbs) are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into glucose in your body. This raises your blood glucose level.
Hormones made in the body called insulin and glucagon help control blood glucose levels.
See also:
Random blood sugar; Blood sugar level; Fasting blood sugar
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The test may be done in 2 ways:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of diabetes. However, other tests (glucose tolerance test
and fasting blood glucose test) are better for diagnosing diabetes.
The blood glucose test is also used to monitor patients who have the diabetes. It may also be done if you have:
If you had a fasting blood glucose test, a level between 70 and100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered normal.
If you had a random blood glucose test, normal results depend on when you last ate. Most of the time, blood glucose levels will be below 125 mg/dL.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
If you had a fasting blood glucose test:
Higher-than-normal random blood glucose levels may be a sign of diabetes. In someone with diabetes, it may mean the diabetes is not well controlled. Your healthcare provider will likely order a fasting blood glucose or a glucose tolerance test, depending on your random test result.
Other medical problems may also cause higher-than-normal blood glucose levels, including:
Lower-than-normal blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia
) may be due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Many forms of severe stress
(for example, trauma, stroke
, heart attack
, and surgery) can temporarily raise blood glucose levels.
Drugs that can increase glucose measurements include the following:
Drugs that can decrease glucose measurements include the following:

Facts for Consumers Electronic Check ConversionThe next time you write a check to your local merchant, the cashier may hand it back to you after the payment has been processed – electronically. Or maybe you're mailing a check as payment to a company. That payment, too, may be processed electronically. Why? More merchants and companies are using electronic check conversion, which converts information from your paper check into an electronic payment from your bank account. In fact, NACHA – the Electronic Payments Association – estimates that more than 1.7 billion paper checks were converted through in-store and mail-in transactions in 2005.
How does electronic check conversion work? When you give your check to a store cashier, the check is run through an electronic system that captures your bank account information and the amount of the check. You're asked to sign a receipt and you get a copy for your records. When your check information has been processed and your check has been handed back to you, it should be voided or marked by the merchant so that it can't be used again. The merchant electronically sends information from the check (but not the check itself) to your bank or other financial institution, and the funds are transferred into the merchant's account.
Electronic check conversion also may be used for checks you mail to pay for a purchase or to pay on an account. The merchant or company receiving your check electronically sends information from your check (but not the check itself) through the system, and the funds are transferred into their account.
How will I know if companies I do business with use electronic check conversion? By law, you must receive notice if your check information will be processed electronically. Notice can be given in different ways: In a store, a merchant might post a sign at the register or give you a written notice. For a mailed check, the company might include the notice on your monthly statement or under its terms and conditions. The notice also should state if the merchant or company will electronically collect from your account a fee – like a "bounced check" fee – if you have insufficient funds to cover the transaction.
Will I get my checks back? Your financial institution may be unable to give you a duplicate copy of your checks, so it's important to keep your checks – and receipts – when the payment has been processed electronically in a store, especially if you need proof of payment. In the case of merchants and companies that use electronic check conversion for your mailed checks, you won't get your check back because the information was transmitted through the process only electronically. However, if you need a copy of the check, you can always ask the merchant or company if they'll provide it to you. You could also consider using duplicate checks, where you keep a copy of every check you write. There may be an extra charge for duplicate checks, whether you buy them from your financial institution or a check printing company.
Will the payment be shown on my monthly bank statement? Yes. Your bank statement must show the electronic transaction. It should include the name of the merchant or company, the payment amount, and the date the payment was electronically transferred from your account, and the transaction location. This information may be included in an area other than where your paper checks are listed, so carefully review the entire statement. It's important to keep your bank statements; they can be used as proof of payment for your transactions.
What does electronic check conversion mean to me? There may be no float on your check. That means, if you write a check today, you need to have funds in your account today to cover it. If you don't, your check may bounce and you may be charged a fee by the merchant, your financial institution, or both. Bounced checks can blemish your credit record. If you're concerned about bounced checks, you may want to consider overdraft protection or a backup line of credit on your account. Be aware, your financial institution may charge for these services.
What if I find an error on my account? Promptly review your bank statement for errors. For example, did two payments go through instead of one? Were you charged the wrong amount for the item purchased? You have 60 days from the date your statement was sent to you to notify your financial institution of any errors. Your financial institution might take up to 45 days from the date you notify it to investigate the situation. In most instances, if it will take more than 10 business days, your financial institution must credit your account while it investigates the error.
What if I find unauthorized transactions on my account? Generally, if you find unauthorized electronic check conversion on your account (or someone has fraudulently obtained your banking account information), notify your financial institution immediately. Your level of loss depends on how quickly you report the problem.
Under federal law, for unauthorized electronic check conversion, you have 60 days to report these transfers after your bank account statement containing the problem is mailed to you. If you fail to report the unauthorized transfers within this time period, you risk losing all the money in your account and the unused portion of your maximum line of credit for overdrafts. It's also a good idea to report any other unauthorized transfers on your account or problems regarding any loss or theft of your checks immediately.
Contact your financial institution about any additional limits on liability they may offer.
Keeping Close Tabs on Your Account The Federal Trade Commission suggests that you:
Keep track of deposits. Make sure you record all deposits to your checking account in your checkbook immediately. When you make deposits, save the receipts. They can help resolve mistakes.
Remember to record all automatic or Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) deposits, such as your paycheck, in your checkbook when they're credited to your account.
Keep track of withdrawals. Immediately record your transactions. This includes: checks you write and electronic check conversion; ATM withdrawals; debit card transactions; preauthorized withdrawals; online transfers you make; and fees or service charges, including ATM fees.
Promptly balance your account when your statement arrives. This means reconciling the information you have recorded in your checkbook against the statement your financial institution sends to you. Review your entire bank statement; electronic check conversion may be recorded in an area other than where your paper checks are listed, such as under "other withdrawals."
Review your statement to be sure your checks were only processed once and for the correct amount. If your account won't balance, and you can't find the error, promptly call your financial institution for help.
Be especially careful with telephone and online transactions. If a merchant or company lets you make a payment using check information for a phone or Web transaction, they should inform you that they will process your payment electronically. Your bank and checking account numbers will be requested as they appear at the bottom of your check, along with permission to charge the account for the item you're paying for. Your transaction will then be processed and the funds withdrawn from your account and deposited in the merchant or company's account electronically.
Be especially cautious about sharing your bank and checking account numbers. Do not give out personal information – particularly on the telephone, by e-mail or otherwise online – unless you have initiated the contact or know who you're dealing with. Scam artists can use your personal information to commit fraud – such as identity theft. That's where someone uses your personal information, such as your checking account number, Social Security number, mother's maiden name, or birth date, without your knowledge or permission, to commit fraud or theft.

[train simple] [Adobe Authorized Training Center] [This is an excerpt from trainsimple.com's Dreamweaver CC Fundamentals] Once you're ready to upload your website, I would strongly recommend doing one final check in as many browsers as possible, both on Macintosh and Windows machines. Once you're happy with the way your website renders in those browsers, you can then upload it. But once you upload it, I would recommend doing one more check. Browser compatibility is a huge part of web design, and you want to make sure that your content is appearing the way that you expect it to appear in a wide variety of browsers. Mobile browsers are no exception. So once you upload your site, you want to go ahead and get a product called Adobe Edge Inspect. What Adobe Edge Inspect will allow you to do is test your content in a wide range of mobile devices at the same time. So connect all of your mobile devices to Edge Inspect, and then take a look at your site in Google Chrome. And that's exactly what we're going to do now. So I'm going to come back into Dreamweaver, and inside of Dreamweaver, I'm going to go ahead and preview this in Google Chrome. Now my version of Google Chrome has the Adobe Edge Inspect extension already installed. Furthermore, I've already paired my iPhone to Edge Inspect. Again, you should pair as many devices as you can get your hands on. But once you pair this, you'll notice that this page will render in that mobile device's browser. Now, I have a utility running here that will give me the ability to demonstrate that. Because it's a responsive layout, you'll notice that the look of it is a little bit different than the desktop view, which is exactly what we want. So we can see here that it's rendering just fine in the mobile device. And, obviously, right now I'm interacting with the mobile device. That's why I'm getting this scrolling to appear. Now, Adobe Edge Inspect, like I said, can be a huge time-saver so you can test your responsive content in a wide range of devices. Once you're happy with the appearance of your website in a wide range of desktop browsers and mobile browsers, you're ready to make your site live for the world to see.
