When should I be using my credit card?
Updated On: Jul 11 2012 01:09:36 AM CDT
Dimiter Todorov paid for law school with a Visa card.
A foreign national at the time, he didn't qualify for subsidized student loans, and after he'd cobbled together as many grants and scholarships as he could find, he was still about $7,000 short on his first-year of law school tuition.
Each semester he racked up just a little bit more tuition on his credit card. When he graduated, he owed more than $10,000.
Having a five-digit balance on a 12 percent revolving loan put the fear of God into him. But by being aggressive, he was out of debt in three years.
Ten years later, he was talking to a classmate who had barely made a dent in his original $70,000 subsidized student loan. Todorov said that's when he realized that paying for law school with credit had imposed discipline that helped him put the debt behind him and limit how much interest he paid on his law-school debt.
It Comes Down To Credit Card Discipline
Financial advisors said there are all sorts of smart ways to use credit -- as long as you have the right kind of discipline.
"You can use them to help you get more money," said Minneapolis-based financial advisor Nicole Middendorf . "I could not pay now, invest in myself instead and put (money) in a Certificate Of Deposit to make more money off my own money. I'm using other people's money to make money."
For example:
Middendorf said she recently bought windows from a big-box home remodeling store on its zero-percent interest card. Now, she's paying nothing on the windows and putting the money into a 3.4 percent interest certificate of deposit instead.
So, she's making money on the interest she would've paid instead of paying it.
Also Consider Credit Card Perks
Many credit cards also offer free built-in perks that would otherwise cost you money, like trip insurance and rental-car insurance.
Peter E. Garuccio, the director of public relations for the American Bankers Association, said there are so many credit rewards now -- from cash back to free gas to airline miles -- it's easy to make a habit of piling them up without breaking the bank.
"If you're smart, there's no reason not to put every grocery trip on your credit card," Garuccio said.
If you pay it off every month, you never pay interest but you reap all the rewards.
CreditCardGuide.com lists the Discover More card and the CitiCash Returns cards among its highest-rated rewards programs, in part because the cards offer between 5 and 20 percent cash back when users shop at selected retailers.
So, if you buy a $1,000 computer at Circuit City, one of Discover More's partners, you'd qualify for 20 percent cash back -- or $200. If you pay that off when the statement comes, that's like a rebate on your purchase.
Garuccio also likes the old card-balance transfer trick for disciplined consumers.
"Moving from zero percent to zero percent is a great option for consumers," Garuccio said.
The key is to know exactly when the introductory period ends and transfer the balance before you pay interest.
But none of these tactics are for people without the discipline to pay every month. Rolling over balances and paying interest diminishes your returns.
Keep Your Head Out Of The Clouds
"You can't get a credit card and think, 'How can I one-up the neighbors?'" said Middendorf. "Become the CFO of your family finances, and if you can do that you can use credit cards to your advantage."
In fact, Middendorf said when she uses a credit card to book a flight online, she immediately writes a check to the credit card company so that her check register won't show extra cash. That keeps her from overspending.
Experian, the credit reporting company, has a top 10 list for top-notch credit scores. They include putting credit to work for you by taking advantage of programs, but also having a strict plan to repay the debt.
"Credit is not bad, it's bad if you use it badly," said Maxine Sweet, the vice president of Experian's public education unit. "You use it, don't let it use you."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Luke Butkus interim offensive line coach, tabbing him to fill in for cancer-stricken assistant George Yarno.
Yarno left the team last month and returned home to be with his family in Spokane, Washington, while he undergoes treatment.
Coach Gus Bradley says the 56-year-old Yarno will be away from the team for "some months."
Bradley says Yarno is "encouraged by the progress" and adds "We're all rooting for him and we'll welcome him back with open arms when he comes back."
Butkus, entering his seventh NFL season, is a nephew of Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus.
The Jaguars also hired Matt Applebaum as an offensive assistant. Applebaum will work primarily with the O-line.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU to honor Granite Mountain Hotshots, other first responders
Arizona State University will host the Wisconsin Badgers at Sun Devil Stadium Sept. 14, and the Sun Devils will be wearing the number 19 decal on their helmets and the victory bell will ring 19 times. Bill Kennedy, ASU's Associate Athletic Director says team captains will bring out a jersey with the number 19 for the coin toss.
"We've asked Wisconsin to take part in this as well and they will bring out a jersey with the number 19 as well."
ASU mascot Sparky will do 19 pushups every time the Sun Devils score.
First responders will get discounted tickets as well with a special promo code, and ASU is teaming up with the 100 Club of Arizona who will be at the game raising money for scholarship funds for the families of first responders who've been lost.
"The decision making process was really about what is the right thing to do," said Kennedy. "Especially for those who gave their lives, not only the Granite Mountain Hotshots but the other fallen first responders."
Among the first responders to be honored are DPS Officer Tim Huffman, Phoenix Firefighter Bradley Harper and Phoenix Police Officer Daryl Raetz. All were lost in the past year.
The ASU men's and women's basketball teams will have first responders nights as well during their respective seasons.

Country Fun: The Old Days
Posted by
Staff Writer
Wednesday, August 8. 2012

Nowadays it is not uncommon for each member of the family down on the farm to have his or her own transportation by age sixteen. Televisions and entertainment centers have become part of the furniture of every family farm home. Nothing is denied in the way of recreation. If your car battery is dead, or there is nothing interesting on TV, or if you don't have the latest CD or DVD by your favorite star, you can call your friends on your cell phone or get together with them on the Facebook chat line.
In the old days, country folk were a breed apart. Country living was no picnic, but don't kid yourself, country people had fun. Party time down on the farm included listening to the radio (if you had one), peanut boilings, candy pullings, square dances, and much more. Someone was always having a party. Having no other transportation, young people would often walk several miles to a party. If someone in the community had a truck or a car he could quickly load it to capacity with party goers.
If you were one of the few who possessed a radio, you were guaranteed a lot of friends especially on Saturday night. When I was young, the favorite attractions on the radio at our house were the Grand Ole Opry and speeches by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Either event was an occasion for a fun get-together.
Some were fortunate enough to own a record player. Still in our family is an antique graphaphone. The wind-up, spring operated record player was the "stereo" of the day. Rarely heard now, the popular tunes of that day resounded in the night to thrill party goers. Somebody might even get up and dance a little jig while the adults raised the time-honored question, "What's the younger generation coming to"?
Today, some country churches are hard pressed for someone to play the piano. In the old days, there were musicians aplenty. The home was a favorite gathering place for music lovers. There were pianists, organists, guitarists, fiddle players (uptown they call them violinists), harmonica blowers, and a variety of others. It was not uncommon for a community to have at least one person who could teach music. In almost every home there was at least one musical instrument. The first thing I remember my brother scolding me about was his guitar. He caught me strumming on it without his permission.
Near us lived the Dee Kight family. They were about as good musicians as they come. A big family, they provided music and entertainment for parties and they were in great demand. My sister remembers that every member of the family either sang or played at least one musical instrument. Yodeling seems to be a lost art these days, but in those days anyone who could yodel was high on the popularity list at any party.
One of the best yodelers I have ever heard (and I've been to Switzerland where yodeling was invented) was a down-home country boy by the name of J.T. O'Neal. J. T. walked almost everywhere he went and yodeled all the time. You could hear him yodeling in the woods two miles away. If J. T. had tried out for the Grand Ole Opry, he would have become famous.
Peanut boilings were favorite attractions for young and old alike. They were often so well attended that it took a big wash pot full of peanuts to feed the crowd. The peanut boiling was an outdoor party, usually at night. The get-together provided incentives to the young to contrive games to pair couples up. It was permissible to hold hands and go for a stroll in the moonlight, provided you didn't stroll too far and stay too long.
Almost any occasion that brought people together could be construed as an excuse for a shindig. Cane grinding time was a favorite time for candy pullings. Quilting parties were among the top ten on the social hit parade. It took all hands and the cook to shell enough peanuts for spring planting. The "peanut shellings" often led to a frolic.
Well, country folks have gone uptown now and gone are the days when country fun had a different twist from city fun. But the next time that you are out for a drive in the country and see an old house deserted and falling down, stop, walk quietly up to it and listen intently for a few minutes. You may hear the sound of music and laughter. You may even hear Uncle Dave Macon from the Grand Ole Opry, or the Ole Blue Yodeler, or President Roosevelt doing a fireside chat on an old battery-powered Philco radio. Don't tell anyone though; it may be a private party.

Experiencing the Divine in Music
By jlbishop
At a Recent Marsh service and Bach Sunday, I heard a beautiful prayer thanking God for the gift of prayer and for music when words aren't enough. I always knew music was an important part of praying and have even been told that singing is praying twice (whatever that means). I interpret that as meaning that in just one song so much emotion, passion, struggle, joy, praise etc. can be shared that it's the equivalent to two prayers. Sounds about right. I always felt closest to God when I was singing because it lifted my soul up in a way that spoken words couldn't. Whenever I hear beautiful music I get chills that spread from my cheeks to my toes and a warmness that seeps from my heart. Sometimes, when I'm sitting at a musical performance, I like to imagine myself watching from God's point of view and seeing so much talent and joy and hearing the perfection in the notes and just being so moved by the beauty of God's creation. I can't even begin to imagine what God must feel but I can make a good guess: Unconditional love that reaches widths, and depths and heights of which we could never wrap our minds around.
This past weekend my girlfriend and I went to NYC to see a famous pianist and composer by the name of Ludovico Einaudi. This guy was amazing. I have never ever in my life heard such beautiful, passionate music that told stories without words. I'm not one to cry, but this show had me in tears by the overwhelming emotion each song carried. It's been a while since I've felt the Holy Spirit moving, but that night, it danced. I was in awe of the workings of the Spirit and the manifest glory of God. I've been feeling distant lately and that concert was a breathtaking reminder of God's presence. Music speaks when words can't and as a gift to us from God, it's a perfect gift to give back for the glory and honor of God.

There is an old saying that goes you can't always get what you want. Twice a year, distant Pluto turns motionless and that ancient truism immediately comes into earthly manifestation. Nevertheless, even though Pluto at 7 degrees of Capricorn is making a station and turning from reverse to direct tonight at 10:08PM PDT, you may still be able to get some goodies along the way. The main reason is that in the early hours the Moon in Libra makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Venus in Leo (1:40AM PDT). Love vibrations can temporarily flourish. Plus — the Moon provides another sense of relief and mental exuberance by forming a trine with Jupiter (8:28AM PDT). In between those two harmonious aspects, a Moon-Saturn parallel (4:29AM PDT) followed by an off-kilter, 150-degree link from Mercury to Neptune (7:26AM PDT) attempt to rain on your parade. It is the Mercury-Neptune connection that can equate with rising waves of confusion and chaos in business, trade and currency markets. It doesn't help communications or travel plans very much as well. Add to this a frictional, 45-degree tie from Mercury to Mars (3:06PM PDT) and Moon-Neptune parallel (8:20PM PDT) and you may wind up going on a cosmic detour and losing your way. Of course, all of this uncertainty is happening before Pluto officially is motionless (10:08PM PDT). All Pluto themes — death-rebirth and regeneration, catharsis and metamorphosis, willpower, mysteries and secrets, atomic and nuclear forces, repression of feelings and memories, hypnosis, the Underworld, phobias and nightmares, extreme behavior patterns — are emphasized now and over the next day or two. [Pluto will remain in direct motion until April 12, 2013 when it will once again go into reverse at 12 degrees of Capricorn.]

28 weeks later: Thailand tourism down, but not outBy Saksith Saiyasombut & Siam Voices Thu, Nov 20, 2014 4:53PM UTC View Comments
Earlier this month Thailand's Tourism Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul said that about 25 million foreign visitors are expected to visit the country this year, down from 26.7 million in 2013. This seems optimistic, considering that Thailand has suffered a tumultuous year marred by months of violent political protests and a military coup on May 22....
How the Burmese military perpetuates its own mythBy Francis Wade Wed, Nov 19, 2014 7:34PM UTC View Comments
A heated debate broke out in Burma's lower house Monday over efforts by the opposition to overhaul the constitution prior to the 2015 elections. As per previous debates, the military contingent – which takes up a quarter of seats and thereby wields effective veto over such matters – resisted the idea that charter reform, and allowing Aung San Suu Kyi to run for president, might benefit the country. "I would like you all to remember that the constitution is not written for just a person but for the future of everyone," Colonel Htay Naing, one of the uniformed MPs, told...
28 weeks later: Thailand's junta and the war on corruptionBy Saksith Saiyasombut & Siam Voices Wed, Nov 19, 2014 5:52PM UTC View Comments
The premise for the junta taking control of Thailand in May 2014 was to avoid civil conflict and to once and for all rid the country of corruption. The promise to clean up the country isn't exactly new, it's been used by successive governments and it's generally welcomed because this is one problem which most Thais would like to see solved. As the junta came to power those people who supported the coup had high hopes Prayuth and the generals would be able to deliver on this promise....
28 weeks later: Are Thai people really happy after the coup?By Saksith Saiyasombut & Siam Voices Wed, Nov 19, 2014 11:55AM UTC View Comments
Earlier this year in Thailand, protest mobs took over the streets, violence mounted, and politics hit a deadlock. That was before the military, led by General Prayuth Chan-ocha, seized power on May 22, giving a rather abstract promise to bring back happiness to Thai people. ...
Reactions to Japan's new whaling targetBy Graham Land Wed, Nov 19, 2014 8:50AM UTC View Comments
In hopes of resuming its controversial Antarctic whale hunt, the Japanese government has announced that it will slash its yearly quota for minke whales by nearly two thirds, down to 333. Last year the Japanese Fisheries Agency had a goal of harpooning 855 minke whales, 50 humpback whales and 10 fin whales, though their efforts fell far short, at least partly due to the efforts of anti-whaling activist group Sea Shepherd....

OPP: I Want Boyfriend to Press Charges
by Slacker and Steve
posted Aug 19 2014 3:56PM
Our OPP today comes from Erica who was actually on air with us! Here is her letter,
Yi! My boyfriend went to a friend's house for a party and got really drunk and passed out. While he was passed out his friends drew daddy parts on him and took pictures of him in suggestive poses. They sent the pictures around to other friends and then someone posted a few of them on Facebook. He is friends with co-workers on Facebook and they confronted him at work about the pictures. I am absolutely enraged with his friends! It's one thing to play a joke on a friend, but to humiliate him publicly and put his job in risk is ridiculous! I want him to press charges against his friends. He's mad, but he's not ready to press charges! What should happen next?! What should he do?
Slacker says this will ruin her boyfriend's relationship with all these friends. If he were to get fired, these pictures could definitely come back to bite him. The bell has already been rung, even if you close down your Facebook, those pictures will still be there! She should take her boyfriend out and teach him how to drink.
Steve points out the fact that this mean his girlfriend has to fight battles for him. Ouch! He does say if her boyfriend goes to find a different job, and they check his Facebook, it could possibly hurt him.
What is your advice for her?

Laz – My buddy Roland bought this bike about 5 years ago. We chopped it in half, tossed a tc Bros. hardtail on it. Then it sat until about 2 months ago. Then we got the itch to finish it. So we stripped the harley project of all the necessary parts to finish the xs650. Stole the whole front end, rear wheel, seat pan, lights, etc. Bought a wassel style tank, been through about 3 fenders and handlebars so far, but haven't liked any of them yet. Continue Reading →
Kevin Jakubczak – Life for me started out as a fairly clean stock blue 1974 xs650. The previous owner had laid it down at one point with his wife on the back of the bike, so he decided it would probably be best to sell it. Luck would have it, I found it listed in the local classifieds, so I decided to drive up the mountain to go have a look. I wasn't expecting much, and quite honestly I thought the guy would flake on me. It was a very wet, foggy day. Took me three hours to get up the hill and to locate his house, but my aggravation was alleviated as soon as I pulled up to his driveway and laid my eyes upon it. Freezing cold, snot running from my nose, I asked to hear her run. The owner obliged, went inside his work shop and grabbed the key. With a quick turn of the key she shook to life. I was ecstatic. $800 later it was mine.
My first bike. My first project.
I have always loved early motorcycles, especially the old board track bikes, so as one may guess, I modeled mine after them. I didn't want it to look like something it's not, but I knew going into it just how I envisioned the final build to look. I wanted to run 21″ rims both front and rear. I wanted a thin narrow bike, something completely different from all the other bikes I see in my area. I wanted a mix of shiny and raw. Hand made imperfections that I admire the most on any build. After the CHP inspection and a trip to the DMV, I started to strip her apart. Continue Reading →
Brent's 71 XS650 Bob
Brent – The build started our talking to a co-worker about starting the search for bike to bob/chop. He had mentioned he's dad use to run a motorcycle repair shop back in the 70's/80's and said there were still a few bikes left sitting in the garage. Went to go take a look and found the 71 sitting in the corner rough but complete. Made a deal for the bike and it was torn apart in my garage the next day.
79 xs hillclimber
Got the bike about a year ago for choppin a guys bike, payment was the stock bike.Finished her 3 days ago. A lot of fab time: cut, bungwelded and lowered seat pan frame 1.5″, shaved the pokeys, whipwheeled the paint off everything, bent and brazed the rear sissy to accomidate the tilting tail liggt, did the same for the plate holder/light, suicide clutch made with tractor handle and stock foot shift lever, linkages made outta yokes and heims, rear break stay(brazed a yoke on that too), front harley fatboy 19″ solid rims (front and back) machined out with standoffs for rear sprocket, big nasty pipes. fun lil scoot.
Gary's 1980 Orange Sunshine
Gary – Chopped it up. Slapped a Monstercraftsman "brat" kit on. Made some stuff. Painted some stuff. Left some stuff to rust. Ride the hell out of it.
Warren Wall – This is my 79 xs650. She was a farm bike in a previous life. When I got her the engine, and most of the bike, was coated in hayseed and what I assume was cow shit from the smell. But with some fresh oil and a points adjustment she fired up. I stripped her down and chopped the frame. Hardtail is TC Bros. Front end rebuilt and lowered 2″ with Hughs Hand Built lowering spacers.
Also HHB Pma kit, and slim line front master cylinder.Rebuilt calipers front & rear, with stainless braided brake lines. Rear master cylinder from Mikes XS. Engine top end rebuilt with new rings and valve guides. Electronics tank, sissy bar, battery box, rear master cylinder mount, brake pivot, head light mount, turn signal mounts, frame gussets, seat pivot, seat pan, leather work, and paint by me. The rear fender is a trailer fender that I narrowed 1″ and radius'd to fit the tire. New cables. Simplified wiring. Shinko 270 rear tire. Chen Shin front tire. I think that's about it. Hope you enjoy.

A film can be as simple as coming up with a concept, brainstorming the shot list, shooting, and editing. That's what Vine, the app that lets you produce six-second video loops, and Airbnb, the site that lets you rent people's apartments, are counting on for their short film Hollywood & Vines. Airbnb is tasking Vine users with creating the content that will comprise its crowdsourced short, which will premiere on the Sundance Channel on September 12th. From August 22nd to 28th, Airbnb disseminated the shot lists hourly between 8am and 5pm via Twitter. Each tweet issued a creative prompt for […]by Shaun Seneviratne on Aug 28, 2013
Jonathan Goodman Levitt's Follow the Leader may have recently won the Jury Prize in the Feature Film Competition at the 2013 Northside Festival in Brooklyn, but its DIY distinction lies far beyond what's captured in front of the lens. Over the course of three years, Levitt's doc trails a trio of high school class presidents (and aspiring U.S. presidents) – all male and all hailing from one of the original 13 Colonies (Virginia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania). Even more remarkable than these teenagers' evolving attitudes, though, is the director's distribution game plan, deployed with the targeted precision of a political campaign.

Jake Price may primarily be known as a photojournalist, working for outlets like the BBC and the New York Times. But with his latest project, Unknown Spring, he's strengthening a new identity as an immersive, interactive documentary filmmaker. As his thoughts below illustrate, however, he sees photojournalism, traditional film, and online interactive media all as an extension of nonfiction storytelling–different tools to explore In March 2011 he journeyed to the Tohoku region of Japan to document the devastation left in the wake of the Pacific tsunami. That project eventually became an html5 website featuring photographs, audio recordings, full-motion video, and […]by Randy Astle on Aug 22, 2013
The Getty Museum made an unusual move for the art world last week when they decided to launch their new "Open Content Program", making over 4,600 pieces of the Museum's private collection available to download, use, modify and publish for any purpose (all in beautiful full resolution). About this decision, the museum explains: "The Getty was founded on the conviction that understanding art makes the world a better place, and sharing our digital resources is the natural extension of that belief." Though there are no films included in the Open Content Program, there's no doubt a vast treasure trove of […]by Katie Carman-Lehach on Aug 19, 2013
40 Days of Dating is a reality-based web piece documenting two good friends' attempt to get to the bottom of their relationship issues by dating each other for 40 days — and documenting it online. The site is cleverly designed, with gorgeous title treatments for each day, and reports from both — Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman (both designers, 'natch) — laid out side by side. Interspersed throughout are photos, little videos, etc. Rules include: the two have to see each other every day; no dating or sex with anyone else; and the 40 days have to include at least […]by Scott Macaulay on Aug 6, 2013
When making a documentary the following question tends to arise: what should happen to those extra 238.5 hours of material? After a 90-minute (give or take) cut is locked, what does one do with the pile left on the floor? Do you pick up five or so scenes you're particularly fond of and put them on a DVD as "extras"? What if you grabbed — or carefully selected, depending on your level of intensity of need to control — a handful of material and constructed an interactive online video explorer or choose-your-own-adventure, allowing people to navigate as they wish, depending […]by Amanda Wilder on Aug 2, 2013
Filmmaker Braden King has made a hauntingly beautiful, web-only "interactive music video" for "Stitches," the new single from Califone. In real time, the video pulls and sequences images from a curated selection of Tumblrs, sidescrolling them across your monitor in sync to the song's elegant melancholy. Black-and-white photos and animated GIFs drift by, and by highlighting one with your cursor color bleeds back in. Click and the image flips over, allowing you to write a caption that is then sent to the band (and included on the "Stitches" home page) or, if you want, reblogged. Califone's Tim Rutili and King are […]by Scott Macaulay on Jul 31, 2013
Compared to film festivals, webfests — "film" festivals geared specifically toward web series (like Mission Backup Earth, pictured above) and other online videos — are definitely the new kids on the block, but they're fast coming to fill the role for web video that names like Venice and Cannes did for film decades ago. And they're springing up much faster — 10 of the thirteen events described below are premiering in 2013 or '14 — making it appropriate to survey what's out there, how filmmakers can get their content shown and who's eligible. TO WebFest (Toronto): Announced Tuesday by the Independent […]by Randy Astle on Jul 26, 2013
Less than three months since she premiered her documentary, Aatsinki: The Story of Arctic Cowboys, at the Tribeca Film Festival, Jessica Oreck is both on the road and back with new work.

It is about practiced motion, kinetic movement, bodies, and forms. It is about a particular type of man: exceedingly capable, strong, confident, and diligent. The project is a search for humble masculinity and an unapologetic admittance of […]by Scott Macaulay on Jul 16, 2013
Perhaps the one word that best describes the Currents New Media Festival, an annual event hosting an international array of artists that steams into Santa Fe for the last half of June, is "overwhelming." This year cutting edge-curious New Mexicans and tourists alike are being treated to futuristic video installations and interactive artwork, art-apps and animation, multimedia performances and experimental documentaries (including Denis Côté's disturbing study in the banality of human evil towards animals, Bestiaire) – all taking place inside El Museo Cultural, a cavernous warehouse in the Railyard District. Then there are the satellite happenings. Digital Dome screenings – […]by Lauren Wissot on Jun 22, 2013

It looks like team members for Nokia's mobile money product in India are coming back for more. The core team of Nokia Money, which was shut down and sold by Nokia earlier this year, has announced that its launching iKaaz. Among other things, iKaaz will offer a white-label mobile payment platform and mobile-wallet solution to banks, network operators and merchants in the Indian market.
"The iKaaz solution can be delivered in the form of a mobile app across all types of mobile phones, as well as through SMS and USSD channels for lower-end phones that do not support apps," said Soma Sundaram, founder and CEO of iKaaz. Sundaram was head of Nokia Money's integration engineering. He said the iKaaz app will let bank or prepaid account holders initiate money transfers and merchant transactions, merchant's customers to pay their bills and subscribers of mobile service providers to recharge accounts with just their mobile phones.
In addition, iKaaz will introduce a mobile point-of-sale solution for merchants to process electronic payments using mobile devices and a "tap-and-pay" solution using NFC technologies to enable payments at the point of sale.
Sundaram said both consumers and merchants benefit from iKaaz's solutions. "On one hand, customers can transform their mobile phones into a mobile wallet using a smart iKaaz NFC tag and complete payments faster at merchant locations. On the other hand, merchants can benefit by significantly reducing the transaction processing fees typically paid for conventional settlements," he said.
The Indian market for mobile payments is potentially huge. India has nearly 1 billion mobile phone subscribers according to the country's telecommunications regulatory authority, but the World Bank reported recently that only a third of the country's inhabitants have a bank account of any kind.

Int'l Soccer Exhibition Draws 70,000-Plus To Meadowlands
Published August 9, 2002
Last night's Real Madrid-AS Roma exhibition soccer match at Giants Stadium drew a crowd of 70,635, the largest soccer crowd at the Meadowlands since 78,416 attended a '96 doubleheader that included the Brazilian national team vs. the FIFA All-Stars and the MLS All-Star Game, according to Michael Lewis (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 8/9). But in N.Y., Jack Bell reports it was the facility's largest soccer crowd since the opening match of the '99 Women's World Cup, a doubleheader. Champions World CEO and former MetroStars GM Charlie Stillitano organized and promoted the game and tickets priced as high as $75 "were no deterrent for the clubs' loyal fans." Part of the proceeds from the match will be donated to United Nations programs "to combat AIDS and to the independent Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria" (N.Y. TIMES, 8/9). NJ Gov. James McGreevey, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan were in attendance last night. In N.Y., Brian Lewis notes the NJ Sports & Exposition Authority (NJSEA) "is embroiled in litigation with the MetroStars over whether the MLS club has met its obligation in promoting international soccer, and who should handle that duty at the Meadowlands." NJSEA CEO George Zoffinger said of the event: "My goal is to do five of these a year, make them high quality. If we do that it'll help [the MetroStars'] product and they haven't gotten that yet. It's unfortunate." Zoffinger added that he "plans to have Manchester United here next July 20" (N.Y. POST, 8/9).

When the grapes reach the desired concentration, we press them and move the juice to oak barrels for fermentation. The juice ferments until it reaches an alcohol level where the sweetness of the juice is balanced by the acids and mineral characteristics of the wine itself.
The 2003 Vin de Paille is a blend of three white Rhone grapes: Viognier, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc. We also made a 100% Roussanne Vin de Paille "Quintessence" that we aged in barrel for some additional time and released in mid-2005, as well as a recioto-style, 100% Mourvèdre Vin de Paille "Sacrérouge".
The 2003 vintage was tremendous: warm and sunny, with cool nights that prolonged the hangtime of the grapes and led to wines with excellent acidity. A relatively early flowering, combined with a warm but not overly hot summer produced unusually long hangtime, and grapes with concentrated flavors and a distinct minerality. The extended harvest meant that we harvested varietals multiple times: Grenache Blanc between September 16th and October 22nd, Viognier between September 18th and October 6th, and the Marsanne between September 18th and October 8th.
The wine, after pressing, was aged in a new French oak barrel for 9 months before being bottled in June of 2004. It was released in December 2004, after six more months in bottle.
The 2003 Vin de Paille has a beautiful nose of apricots and honey, with moderate sweetness and flavors of caramel, peach and nectarine balanced by refreshing acidity. Its finish turns clean and mineral, with lingering flavors of apricot.

Over recent weeks, I've received several questions from people wondering how to best preserve a partial bottle of wine for future consumption. Typically, they're wondering if they should invest in a system that replaces the air in the bottle with an inert gas, or in a vacuum system that removes the air from the bottle entirely... Read More »
