Student loans are for those in their 20's, right? Social Security, on the other hand, is for those in their 60's. Right again. However, according to data compiled by the Treasury Department, the federal government is withholding money from more and more Social Security beneficiaries who have fallen behind on their federal student loans.
Smart Money magazine reports that the government reduced the benefits of roughly 115,000 Social Security recipients through the first seven months of 2012 . . . more than double the rate of last year.
Can they really do that?
The answer is yes, they certainly can. In fact, the federal government has the power to grab those defaulted payments in a number of ways: the IRS can intercept any income tax refund you think you have coming; the government can garnish (without any legal action or judge's order) up to 15% of your disposable income; and they can seize student loan payments from federal benefits, including Social Security retirement and Social Security disability. Furthermore (in case you were wondering) federal student loans cannot be erased via bankruptcy.
Most of these Social Security recipients are not being penalized for their own educational loans – the majority have taken out loans to help children, grandchildren or other dependents defray their college expenses. But the bottom line is true for all who sign for federally subsidized student loans: Uncle Sam will stalk you the rest of your life until you get it paid.
Rethinking Student Loans
I realize that many have used students loans as a means to a very successful end: helping fund the education needed for their career. However, too many have bought into the "good debt" mindset of student loans, justifying debt without limit because they perceive this debt to be good. Yes, student loans are better than credit card or payday loans, but debt is nevertheless debt, and "good debt" (even student loan debt) is an oxymoron. I doubt if these Social Security beneficiaries can see much good in a debt that is taking a bite from their retirement incomes.
What You Should Do
- If you have student loan debt, declare war on it today. It will hang around for decades if you don't attack it. Remember, you will pay this debt sooner or later. Make it sooner.
- If you are considering student loan debt, think creatively about other ways to fund your education. Need some ideas and encouragement? Check out 10 Tips on How to Graduate from College Debt Free.
- If you are a parent or grandparent who is considering going into debt for your children or grandchildren, think again. Don't count on Junior repaying you . . . he may, but, unfortunately, he may not. A better plan is to avoid the debt by simply cash flowing monthly subsidies directly to your student's college expenses. After all, if you can afford to make loan payments, you can afford to make monthly contributions. If you can't afford to help on a monthly basis, you can't afford to borrow money.
Student loans have helped many pay for their educations, but they have a dark side: your government knows where to find you, and if you owe them money, they will. Avoid those future hassles by avoiding the debt today.
Do you consider student loans to be "good debt"? Please explain. If you currently have student loan debt, do you regret borrowing as much as you did? Any tips for those who are considering student loans? Leave a comment below!

Felipe Massa says Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso will drive in the charity karting race he hosts every year in Brazil.
It will be the first time Alonso participates in the "Internacional Challenge of the Stars" organised by Massa, who says he is also close to announcing that seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher and MotoGP star Valentino Rossi will compete.
Schumacher has twice won the charity race, which will take place from Jan 12-13 in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.
F1 driver Jaime Alguersuari won the event last year. Other drivers who competed in 2011 included Rubens Barrichello, Nelson Piquet Jr., Jerome D'Ambrosio, Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan.
The money from ticket sales goes to local charities.

The awarding of all Scholarships is at the discretion of the Principal. Scholars are expected to work hard at their studies as well as be involved in the wider life of the School. Scholarships are tenable from the time of awarding until the end of Year 12, however, all scholarships are subject to an annual review. Part scholarships may be increased on the basis of sustained, outstanding achievement by the student.
Scholarship Applications open in November and close in the first week of the following February, the year before entry into the chosen year group. Exact dates of the application deadline and the Scholarship Examination are published in September each year. Applications for 2018 are currently closed.
Any enquiries can be directed to the Enrolment Office.
E: email@example.com
Academic Scholarships are awarded primarily on the basis of Scholarship Test results and an interview. Applicants who progress to an interview may wish to bring a portfolio of achievement from other sources such as School Reports, Certificates awarded in State and National Competitions or up-to-date documents from outside agencies. Only applicants who receive an invitation to an interview following the scholarship examination and who are not currently enrolled at the School need submit an Application for Enrolment prior to the interview date.
Academic Scholars are seen as role models within the School in terms of their intellectual curiosity and strong work ethic. All students, including Academic Scholars, are expected to be actively engaged in the extensive co-curricular program.
In addition to sitting the Scholarship Tests, applicants for a Music Scholarship are required to attend an audition. Short-listed applicants for Scholarships will also be interviewed by the Principal at which a portfolio of the applicant's achievements may be presented.
Music Scholarships at The Hills Grammar School are offered at 50% or 100% remission of resident tuition fees for students entering the School or varying levels up to 50% of School fees for current students.
The number of scholarships available in any given year is determined by the Principal of the School in consultation with the Music Department. Scholarships generally cover School fees only and do not include fees associated with private music tuition.
Selection Criteria
As a guide, students should be studying at 5th Grade AMEB standard, or equivalent, on their chosen instrument.
Applicants who play the Bassoon, Oboe or French Horn may be considered at a lower practical standard.
Vocalists must have previous choral experience as well as a background on a chosen instrument.
Details of the audition and interview process are available on request from the Enrolments Office.
Scholarships for All Round Achievement, providing full or part remission of resident tuition fees, may be awarded to students entering Year 7 and Year 11. Current students of The Hills Grammar School and students entering the School are eligible to apply. In assessing each application, weight is given to the range of the applicant's achievements, with particular reference to:
Academic Criteria
Demonstrated strong academic performance across the curriculum. In addition to good school reports, applicants will be assessed on their results in the Scholarship Examination and an interview. Applicants new to the School are required to submit an Application for Enrolment to progress to the interview stage.
Co-curricular Criteria
Demonstrated outstanding involvement and continuous, positive participation in a range of co-curricular activities, including but not limited to those offered at The Hills Grammar School.

Ms. Hicks is the Fort Worth City Councilmember who represents the district in which the Rainbow Lounge is located. She is also Fort Worth's mayor pro-tem. I just found her statement regarding the raid on the Rainbow Lounge online at North Texas e-News.
"I want every resident of Fort Worth to have the confidence of knowing that when tough issues such as this arise, we will require a full accounting of actions and demand honest and complete answers. Rest assured that neither the people of Fort Worth, nor the city government of Fort Worth, will tolerate discrimination against any of its citizens.
"It is truly ironic and unfortunate that this incident occurred on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall protests. Unlike 40 years ago, though, the people of this community have elective representation that will make sure our government is accountable and that the rights of all of its citizens are protected.

Bronxville, NY, US
People are scared to fly, cannot afford to fly, or cannot find a convenient flight to their destination. Not only did the events on September 11th bankrupt some major airlines but also the trickledown effect crippled the airports, taxi companies, and shuttle services, and had a strong effect on hotels, resorts, restaurants, shops, and travel agencies. The slowing economy virtually stopped as travelers became disenchanted with the security precautions, the intrusive airline personnel, and the constant delays. It is now required for a traveler to arrive at an airport two hours early for international flights and one hour early for domestic flights, in order to pass through security, check baggage, and reach the gate before the first boarding call. This simply does not make sense if the flight is only one and a half hours long. Far too few cities have any other options, however, and travelers are getting more and more wary of the entire process. The traveler needs other options, not just plane or car, but bus, light-rail, and HSGT as well. We need to look at all types of transportation and draw from the successes of each.
Instead of transit systems limited to cars and airplanes, a much broader system of vehicles needs to be considered based on destination and distance. Short trips to the grocery store or to the coffee shop should be made on bicycle or on foot, longer trips across town should be made by bus, or trolley, as well as by the automobile; short distance out-of-town trips (between 20 and 100 miles) should be made on commuter train as well as in an automobile; middle distance trips from 100 to 500 miles should be on a Maglev train or some other form of HSGT; and the airplane should be saved for distances of 500 miles or more. As of the summer of 2009,Maglev operating costs will be only 3 cents per passenger mile and 7 cents per ton mile, compared to 15 cents per passenger mile for airplanes, and 30 cents per ton mile for intercity trucks. Unlike cars, trucks, and airplanes, a Maglev does not burn oil, but instead consumes electricity, which can be produced by nuclear, hydro, wind, or solar power plants (the most efficient source now being nuclear). At 300 miles per hour in the open atmosphere, Maglev consumes only 0.4 megajoules per passenger mile, compared to 4 megajoules per passenger mile of oil fuel for a 20-miles-per-gallon auto that carries 1.8 people (the national average) at 60 miles per hour (mph). At 150 mph in the atmosphere, Maglev consumes only 0.1 of a megajoule per passenger mile, which is just 2 percent of the energy consumption of a typical 60-mph automobile.
This same system of intermodality could be aplied to our trucking industry. The average haul distance for intercity trucks is more than 400 miles, with many traveling 1,000 miles or more. Using Maglev, truckers could pick up a load and drive it a few miles to the nearest station. The trailer would be put onto a Maglev vehicle, taking only a couple of minutes. After arriving at a station near its destination, the trailer would be unloaded and driven to the customer's location (Powell).

Starting in the heart of west Berlin before the cragged spire of the bombed out Memorial Church, get a full description of: the ferocity of the Allied bombing campaign and the defence of the Nazi Reich Capital; the Cross of Coventry and the Madonna of Stalingrad; where the mammoth flak towers stood; and the experiences of those caught in the onslaught of the Soviet forces.
Discover the remains of the 1000 year Reich and see Goering's Air Defence Ministry where the Luftwaffe co-ordinated the Battle of Britain, the site of Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry, and the ruins of Himmler's SS and Gestapo HQs by the "Topography of Terror" exhibit.
Take an imaginary stroll down the North-South axis of "Germania" designed by Albert Speer - from the towering Great Hall to the monumental arch.
Visit the site of Hitler's New Reichs Chancellery, the seat of power of Nazi held Europe, and the exact location of the Führer Bunker - we provide a step by step account of Hitler's suicide, the last days spent in the bunker, and the fate of his remains - our information stems from the latest Soviet archives and detailed research.
Up and beyond the average we follow the route of the Soviet attack towards the final battlefield for the Reichstag and stop before the Soviet Memorial flanked with T34 Tanks and Red Army Howitzers.
We describe Post Great War Germany and explain the Nazi's rise to power, Hitler's "Lebensraum" Policy and the path to war and Europe's destruction.
As Berlin became a stage of fire and death Hitler reiterated the original premise of Nazism - total victory or annihilation - we outline the ramifications it held for the new world.

text: Caregivers can make a difference November 8, 2013 Story Share Poor kids have a harder time in all kinds of ways than children of families with greater means. That's hardly news. Also, scientists have long since documented that poverty and stress affect the very development of children's brains.But a new report from researchers in St. Louis adds to that data, and highlights this bit of evidence: Caregivers make a difference.Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine examined brain scans and evaluations of children ages 3 to 6 over several years, according to a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association-Pediatrics.They found that poverty was associated with smaller developments in sections of children's brains. Whether children had supportive or hostile caregivers and whether children experienced stressful life events also made a difference.Researchers concluded that improved care for young children should be a public health target for preventing future problems.That means the next time you hear people discussing how to improve or expand early childhood care or education, they are not just discussing babysitting. They are not just talking about short-term employment for teachers. The issue is literally about nurturing children's healthy brain development that will influence the trajectory of their lives. At the extreme ends of the range, it could mean the difference between whether they thrive in school or drop out, go to jail or live gainfully employed, contented lives. ***Speaking of children and poverty, Child Trends points out this week that infants and toddlers have the highest rates of poverty of any age group in the country. One-fourth, or about three million infants and toddlers, live in families below the federal poverty line. One in eight lives in a family that subsists on below half the federal poverty level. That is a lot of early brain development at risk right there. While the majority of their mothers work, employment can bring its own hazards for parents who can't get good child care.***One of the best things ever tried and proven to help mitigate the effects of poverty, isolation and unprepared parents are home visitors. I've written about them many times, and it doesn't seem to matter whether a program comes from a health or education point of view. Good ones help parents become the kind of parents they aspire to be. The parents, in turn, rear children who are healthier and better able to take advantage of opportunities at school and beyond.But again, Child Trends points out that of children under age 3 who could benefit from a home visit, only one in four receives it. Other helpful services also fail to reach those who need them, including developmental screenings, child care subsidies, Early Head Start and health insurance.Think of this the next time someone natters on to you about wasteful spending or the undeserving poor. It is difficult to imagine what a child should have accomplished by age 3 to merit a friend's help, or even a stranger's.Miller, the Gazette's editorial page editor, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My house was built in 1978. Need to install an egress window in the basement for a bedroom. No idea on cost or who can do this type of work.
Can I do some of it to lessen the price as I can do some basic work at my house (plumbing and electrical).
Please send me some guuidance.
Hi Ken,
The work that you were asking of is including a few separate things.
First the well has to be dug and a pipe with a sock has to be inserted until under the foundation.
Then the hole has to be filled with stones and gravel on top you have to leave space for the cement cutting machine (concrete saw ) then you fit in the well wall (usually metal ).
Then cut the wall and install a lintel on top.
Install the window and finish inside the basement.
Some of the window companies will do it start to finish other will send you to do the ground first and then they will come to deal with the windows.
Hope this can help you since I am too far to come and give you a quote.

World squash No.2 Nick Matthew believes he is winning a race against time to be fit to defend his two Commonwealth Games titles in Glasgow.
Englishman Matthew scooped singles and doubles gold in Delhi four years ago and is the man to beat again after claiming his third world title earlier this year.
But Matthew's hopes were threatened last month by a knee injury which required surgery and left his participation at the Games in doubt.
Despite a recuperation period, the 33-year-old is convinced he can be ready to successfully defend his crowns - including the doubles where Australians David Palmer and Cameron Pilley are No.2 seeds.
"The uncertainty was a bit of a worry because I was told if I wanted to make the Commonwealths I needed an operation immediately," said Matthew on Monday.
"I had a small meniscus tear which was just wear and tear from playing so much squash. They said it was a six week recovery and I'm four weeks today post-op so I'm ahead of schedule.
"The key for me is to maintain the mentality that just by getting here my job isn't done.
"That is the danger of recovering from injury - I've got to remember that I haven't even started."

Question: What would you do if you found out your child was gay?
Total Votes: 202
I found out he was looking at pictures of gay men on my son's computer. They were not really pornographic, just pictures of men kissing. I asked him about it and told him he was not in trouble. I am very open minded. He told me that he does like boys more than girls but he does still like girls. He said that one day he might find himself a girlfriend or a boyfriend. He said it just depends on which he finds first and how good of a person they are. I am so happy for him and I am proud of him for making good choices.
What would you do in this situation?
I don't care who my kids want to be with as long at the person they are with treats them with respect
It wouldn't bother me, make me angry, or disown them. I would say ok you do what you feel is right for you.
Pretty much nothing. Being gay or being straight doesn't need a reaction.
Quoting Keara20:
As long as my child is happy, I'm happy. Man or woman

Lindsay has been teaching her Fair Enough Cardigan class and her students are almost finished.
Here is how Wendy Bernard (pattern designer) describes this sweater : Fair Enough features just enough fair isle color work to keep things interesting but it won't overpower your knit with too much fuss….Knit in one piece from the bottom up a la the typical round yoke sweater format many of you have knit before, you'll knit and purl and use just a little bit of fair isle patterning using two colors at one time. The body is knit in one piece up to the armpits, then the two sleeves are knit in the round from the bottom up. When they're complete, you'll join the sleeves to the body and work even yoke decreases up to the neck. Buttonhole and button bands are added last, then all you have to do is weave in your ends, choose some snazzy buttons, throw on your new sweater and get down with your bad self.
Sue is making her sweater out of O-wool Balance, a 50/50 blend of organic cotton and wool. Beautiful! All she has left is the button band. She has picked out perfect buttons that reflect the pale yellow and blue.
Carol is making hers out of Spud and Chloe Sweater, which she loves. We warned her that black is beautiful, but really hard to knit. She obviously is having no trouble at all. Gorgeous!

I've always liked the look of fake breasts and wanted to be a size or two larger.
A few years ago I went to Dr. Pousti to talk to him about getting a BA and to get a rundown of the procedure. I think he could tell I wasn't 100% sure about it and he told me to go home and really think about it and whenever I was ready to do it or if I had any other questions to come back in and talk to him again. He was totally honest with me and it felt like he was really looking out for me and making sure I was doing it for the right reasons. So I went home and thought about it and three years later when the idea popped back into my head I knew exactly who I was going to go to. So this time around the consultation was quick, I knew I was going to do it so i basically just needed to set up a date and time for surgery. We went over sizes and I brought in pictures of what I wanted and specific things I liked and didn't like. I let him decide ultimately how many CC's and where to put the incision. I trusted him completely and the day of surgery went by so fast. I wasn't nervous at all going into surgery because his entire surgery team was just as amazing as the office staff. Everyone was so nice and friendly and really put me at ease. Waking up from surgery I couldn't wait to get home and start the recovery process. Everyday they changed in appearance. Even a month and a half out I still notice changes going on with them. For a few weeks after surgery, the office staff calls you every other day to make sure everything is going well and to see if they can answer any questions for you which I thought was really cool. All in all they are the best thing I've ever done for myself.

PORT Adelaide fans sick of hearing a call for patience are in for more pain before the gain according to a damning list assessment in the 2013 AFL Prospectus.
Football's annual statistical bible, compiled by Champion Data, rates the Power as having the second-worst list in the competition, ahead of only GWS.
Its defence is rated a lowly 18th and forwardline 17th in the league, and Port is one of only two clubs without a player considered "elite" - in the top 10 per cent according to their position on the ground.
The Power's director of coaching and strategy Alan Richardson yesterday said he did not dispute Champion Data's statistical rankings.
But he pointed to a correlation between team rankings and their average age and games' experience.
Reigning premier Sydney has the oldest (24.86 years) and second most experienced (85 games per player) team in the competition and has the third best list.
The top-two ranked lists of Hawthorn and West Coast are also the third and fourth oldest in the league.
At the opposite end of the scale is Port Adelaide which has the third youngest and fourth most inexperienced list.
"There's an absolute direct correlation between the age of a list and the way they're ranked," Richardson said.
"From a statistical point of view, we agree with the markers that they rate.
"But the important fact would be that those markers are a true reflection of the impact on the game, and there's no doubt if you have a more experienced group with a team that's performing well, you will rate higher in terms of those individual markers."
Three exceptions to the rule are Fremantle, Adelaide and St Kilda.
The Dockers are considered to have the fourth best list in the game, yet are only the eighth oldest team while the Crows are ranked sixth best but are only the 10th oldest.
St Kilda is at the bottom end of the curve with the second oldest team but only the 12th best list.
Richardson estimates Port Adelaide lost close to 800 games' experience at the end of last season when the likes of Danyle Pearce, Troy Chaplin, David Rodan, Steven Salopek and Jacob Surjan all left Alberton. And he said it would take time to replace their experience.
"Certainly from a fan's point of view there's no doubt they've got to be patient, the club and (coach) Ken (Hinkley) in particular has been on record as saying we're not going to put any limitations on the guys.
"We're not going to talk about how many games we're going to win, we're all very aware that teams can improve very quickly and that's certainly our aim.
"But the reality is we lost 800 games of experience with changes to the list from last year and added 200 and most of that is Angus Monfries."
As part of the Prospectus, Champion Data rated every player - provided they'd played at least five games in the past two years - with a score out of 100.
Gary Ablett is the top-ranked midfielder with 100 while Scott Pendlebury was next best on 92.
Richardson said Port's ranking was not helped by having some of its best young talent including Robbie Gray, John Butcher, Andrew Moore and Jasper Pittard, sidelined with injury last year.
"And they're the future of our footy club," he said.
"We're really positive and bullish that while understanding that they're rated lowly from a statistical market point of view, we know that that's based on experience and how many games they've played."
Richardson said the Power had worked on becoming more "aggressive" over summer after the club was ranked 17th in the competition for tackles and applied pressure outside clearances last season.
It may look to its cross-town neighbour Adelaide as a guide after the Crows became the top-ranked team in the competition for contested possession and went within a kick of making the Grand Final.
"We look at all clubs - how they improve, where do we need to go, what is the model to win a flag and I think most of the industry would have sat back and admired the way Adelaide went about their footy," Richardson said.
THE CASE AGAINST PORT ADELAIDE (According to the AFL Prospectus)
THE Power's 2013 player list is rated the second worst in the competition, 17th of the 18 teams and ahead of only GWS.
THE Power's defence is rated the worst in the competition and its forwardline the second-worst.
PORT is one of only two clubs along with GWS without an `elite' ranked player on its list. To be considered elite, a player would be ranked in the top 10 per cent of their position type in the league. West Coast has seven considered in the elite category while Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorn each have six.
IT HAS seven players ranked in the top 35 per cent of their position, three fewer than any other established club.
THE Power is ranked 17th in the competition for tackles and applying pressure outside clearance situations.
THE CASE FOR PORT ADELAIDE (According to the AFL Prospectus)
WITH an average age of 23.4 years, the Power has the third youngest list in the competition.
ITS midfield is ranked eighth in the competition, and when combined with its ruck stocks, is considered the 12th best going around.
FOUR of its midfielders considered "above average" are all under the age of 25.
PORT Adelaide was ranked eighth in the league in 2012 for clearances, improving from 15th in 2011.
OF Port Adelaide's 40-man primary list, 17 are homegrown from SA which is the most in the competition and one more than the Crows.

Bale commits to Spurs
Gareth Bale has committed to a new four-and-a-half-year deal at Tottenham.
Bale, 21, has repeatedly been linked with the biggest clubs in Europe, with the likes of Manchester United, Inter Milan and Real Madrid said to have expressed interest.
However, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has stressed that Bale is part of his long-term plans and the Wales international has now signed an extension that ties him to the club until 2015.
"It's great to have Gareth sign a new contract at the club," Redknapp said on the official Tottenham website. "He is a fantastic player and the type of player we need to be keeping at Spurs.
"Gareth is now one of the top left sided players in the world, he really is an amazing talent and can only get better. He is a smashing lad as well which is equally as important.
"He has got his whole future ahead and he has everything going for him."
Bale, who made his first start for Tottenham since January against West Ham on Saturday, added: "I am enjoying my football at Tottenham. I want us to keep going forward as a team and hopefully we can achieve big things.
"We have got a great squad that is still young and we are going places. It is great to commit to this club and hopefully we can achieve what we believe we can with this squad. The players want what the fans want, and performing in front of these fans is a special experience.
"I definitely believe we can challenge for a title very soon. That is why I have signed. Every year as a minimum we are aiming to qualify for the Champions League so we are definitely going in the right direction.
"We have proven in the Champions League this season that we can compete with the best and we are in the last eight now and there is no reason we can't go further this season and in years to come."

Ocean Mist Farms has named Afreen Malik director of technical services and Arlin Valenzuela quality assurance manager in a pair of promotions by the Castroville, Calif.-based grower-shipper.
Malik, who's been with Ocean Mist since 2004, was previously manager of food safety. She directed the company's food safety program and upgraded its product traceability and recall protocols, according to a news release. She was also responsible for developing Ocean Mist's sustainability initiatives program.
Malik's industry service includes participation in the Produce Marketing Association's produce safety, science and technology committee; the Hartnell College food safety advisory committee; and the Monterey County sustainability working group.
"Afreen has the knowledge and understanding of these important functions and is in a unique position to oversee the alignment of our quality systems across the company," chief operating officer Joe Pezzini said in the release.
Valenzuela succeeds Cisco Martinez, who joined Coastline Produce in July as quality assurance manager.
She will manage Ocean Mist Farms' quality assurance program and work closely with various departments. She was previously a quality assurance in-house trainer.
Valenzuela had an important role in digitizing Ocean Mist's quality assurance program, which will debut at the Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit in October in New Orleans.

NOAA Partners with Native Alaskans to Assess Seafood Safety
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) issued a report on the health of two species of salmon and shellfish commonly used for subsistence by three Native Alaskan tribes.
The Assessment of contaminant body burdens and histopathology of fish and shellfish species frequently used for subsistence food by Alaska Native communities was requested by several Native Alaskan tribes following the Exxon Valdez oil spill who wanted assurance that their traditional subsistence seafood were safe to consume. NCCOS partnered with the Chugach Regional Resources Commission, local tribal organizations, the North Pacific Research Board, and NOAA's Northwest Fishery Science Center to conduct contaminant sampling and analysis featured in the report,
The report concludes that despite the presence of contaminants, the low levels identified do not pose a threat to human health. For more information, contact email@example.com

Last year, I wrote a breakup letter to Chase Bank. It was pretty ugly. I'll save you the heartbreaking details, but trust me, they had it coming. Closing the account was another nightmare. They wouldn't let me break up with them! They told me I couldn't close the account because my signature on the request form did not match the signature they had on file. An understandable concern, but I'd been signing my name as either a squiggly line or "The Hawk," for the past few years, so I don't really understand why my signature had suddenly become so important. It took months. But my account was finally closed, and I've been recovering nicely since the breakup. I'm in a new relationship with a financial institution that I can trust, depend on and, most importantly, I rarely have to call for anything. Before and since then, I've had plenty of other issues with banks, organizations and institutions. There was the $2.00 fee some ATM company charged me even though their machine was broken. There was the totally disputable $100 traffic ticket. And the list goes on, as I'm sure it does for you, too. These issues cost us more than the charge itself. They cost us time, sanity and, oftentimes, grace (Chase's customer service really brought out the worst in me). The other day, I was on the phone, on hold, about that aforementioned $2.00 ATM fee. While listening to ABBA's "Dancing Queen," I took the phone away from my ear to see how long I'd been waiting. Twenty minutes. I hung up. I felt myself getting frustrated, and I let it go. Maybe this wasn't the most frugal thing to do, but then again, maybe it was - after all, your time is valuable, too. And in that moment, I decided that my time was worth more than $2.00. My point is this - and it's not exactly a point, really, but a question: Where do you draw the line? How much of a fight do you put up before you decide that the customer service battle is just not worth it? Financial justice vs. letting it go Regarding those two dollars, my mom would have probably told me to stay on the phone. "It's the principle," she would likely say. But I wonder if that principle has any place in getting rich slowly. The mind-set of working to get what is owed to you certainly has its roots in frugality, but if your time and sanity are valuable, then isn't wasting it on two dollars sort of defeating the purpose of frugality?

IBM's Plan to Make Money from 'Watson' System
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — Three years after IBM's Watson computing system beat Jeopardy! champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter on national television, IBM announced it's backing a new business unit with $1 billion to commercialize Watson's cognitive developments.
One of the basic consumer-oriented applications of Watson is that it will make the number of inquiries a consumer has to make to get the answer or product they are looking for "dramatically smaller."
That's because Watson gets smarter and is learning to reason, otherwise known as cognitive computing. Guruduth Banavar, IBM's vice president of cognitive computing, said a third of the IBM Research group is focused on cognitive computing.
"It is not a super search engine," IBM CEO Virginia Marie Rometty said of Watson while announcing IBM's new unit in New York. Rometty has said she hopes Watson will create $10 billion in annual revenue within 10 years.
The Watson Group is focused on research and development for cloud-delivered applications and commercial services. Soon iPhone developers will be able to use Watson in the next apps they develop.

Ocean Seven Roofing Commercial Recoating System
The Recoating is a protective coating layer that extends the life expectancy of a foam roof. With no recoating, a ocean seven roofing will last 20-30 years. However, with recoating, Foam roofs from ocean seven roofing have proven to last a lifetime.
Get 45 years out of your original Ocean Seven Roofing with only two recoats. To keep your Foam roofing its renewable state, the first recoat should be applied at year 5 and the second at year 25. Subsequent recoats are applied to the foam roofing system every 20 years. The following sub-pages explain how recoating extends roof life: UV Exposure, and Maintenance Schedule. This is by far the the greenest and most cost effective way to roof.
Following those time line assures that the original foam roof is preserved in its renewable condition. The recoat layer takes the beating of sun, wind and rain while the underlying original foam roof continues to perform like new. Applying the initial recoat early (at 5 years) assures proper adhesion and also assures that the original roof doesn't wear out. For example, if you were to wait until year twenty to do the first roof Recoating, the roof surface would already be too worn out to receive a Recoating. The top layer of coating works like sunscreen, extending roof life for a twenty year period. UV Exposure explains the role of coatings in extending roof life.
- Primer: The first step in installing a reinforced ply roofing system is to apply a coat of CCS-10 Primer on a clean roof deck for adhesion and surface preparation.
- Base: The next step in a ply roofing system is to apply a coat of CCS-1000 Acrylic Elastomeric Base Coat to receive the reinforcing mesh layer.
- Reinforcements: Next, reinforce all flashings, penetrations and roof transitions with either our R-Thane Roofing foam or CCS-FM knitted polyester fabric mesh. After preparing and reinforcing all irregularities, roll out and overlap a layer of knitted polyester fabric mesh, imbedding it in the base coat.
- Top Coat: Apply a top coat of heat-reflective CCS- 2000 100% Acrylic Elastomeric Coating to completely encapsulate the knitted polyester fabric mesh.
- Finish Coat: Lastly, apply a finish coat of CCS-3000 100% Acrylic Elastomeric Coating to provide maximum reflectivity (up to 85% of the sun's energy) with its bright white color. The result: a cool roof that's truly cost-effective!
Foam roofs
consist of a layer of foam covered over by a layer of acrylic coating or paint and just like any other paint, it wears off. One highly unique advantage to a foam roof is its sustainability. You can simply reapply the paint to continue the life of the roof.

2013 NFL Draft: AFC West grades
Grading a draft immediately after it concludes is akin to giving your compliments to the chef before the meal has been served. Sure, the food might sound good (or bad) based on the ingredients listed on the menu, but the true evaluation won't come until after the product has been tested.
It will take at least three years before we can truly assess how the 32 NFL teams fared over the weekend. But what is readily apparent is the different approaches that were taken, from going for the best available talent to focusing on team needs to gambling on character concerns and long-term potential.
Denver Broncos
First-round pick Sylvester Williams' quickness and overall athleticism stunned talent evaluators who watched him at the UNC Pro Day, and he has certainly flashed playmaking ability for the Tar Heels. His motor, however, was too inconsistent for many. I've compared Montee Ball to Curtis Martin, so I'm clearly high on his talent. And, considering how much John Fox loves running the ball, Ball has the opportunity to be successful immediately. He's a workhorse who left Wisconsin as the NCAA leader in touchdowns, but I wonder how much tread he has left on his tires. I like cornerback Kayvon Webster's athleticism but thought there were more pro-ready defensive backs still on the board. On the other hand, I really liked Denver's picks on the third day. Wideout Tavarres King and offensive tackle Vinston Painter are legitimate talents, as is pass rusher Quanterus Smith, who will prove a steal if he recovers fully from a torn ACL. Grade: B
|More on 2013 NFL Draft
Kansas City Chiefs
A smooth pass-protector and a more physical run-blocker than Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher provides the Chiefs with a physical presence and insurance in case the club elects to trade franchised left tackle Branden Albert. While Fisher is safe, tight end Travis Kelce and running back Knile Davis are definite gambles on upside, though each could pay off significantly. Of the Chiefs' third-day picks, I like the physicality and size of defensive back Sanders Commings and linebacker Nico Johnson. This is a solid class, overall, but, frankly, I would've taken Joeckel with the first pick and thought that the Chiefs gambled too much on upside throughout much of the rest of their draft. Grade: C
Oakland Raiders
Give general manager Reggie McKenzie credit; he found the playmaking cornerback in D.J. Hayden that he was considering at No. 3 but was able to drop down, add a second-round pick and still get his guy, though No. 12 overall was still a bit rich. Al Davis might be smiling from the heavens with the way that McKenzie is drafting as OT Menelik Watson and OLB Sio Moore are highly athletic (despite Watson's slooow 40-yard dash) and pop on tape. The Raiders plucked several diamond-in-the-rough prospects on day three, not the least of whom is quarterback Tyler Wilson, a strong-armed pocket passer whose toughness could push him into contention for playing time earlier than assumed starter Matt Flynn might like. Former defensive linemen-turned tight end Nick Kasa as well as a more experienced tight end, Mychal Rivera, will help Flynn, Wilson or Terrelle Pryor as reliable options down the middle. Grade: B
San Diego Chargers
They continued a three-player run on Crimson Tide stars, adding the physically imposing D.J. Fluker to bring some toughness and stability to an offensive line greatly needing both. San Diego will love Fluker ... as long as they don't expect him to play on the left side. Manti Te'o is going to take his fair share of ribbing from teammates and opponents (and their fans). But once he proves himself to be a quality starter in the NFL, all of the heckling will quiet down. I love (make that LOVE) the addition of Keenan Allen in the third round for a team that has struggled with consistency at receiver. Te'o will be solid; Allen will prove a steal. Of the Chargers' third-day picks, cornerback Steve Williams is my favorite. While lacking elite size, he possesses terrific feet and good ball skills and is more physical than you might think. Quarterback Brad Sorensen impressed me at the Combine. Grade: B+

I think your right jd... at some point the packs will disappear altogether and it will simply be a $25 AF charge card. I'm glad I got the home improvement pack on it for me. That $20 giftcard buys me lightbulbs for a year (and double points on purchases at lowes!)!
And I just got my pretty little card in August too. Hopefully they have a new product coming out that I can PC to. Or they can let me swap my Zync+BCE for a BCP.

They will probably PC the customers they like. Webhopper is a good example: she runs a few K a month through the card if I remember right, Amex isn't going to want to lose her business.
I'd like to think I'm in the boat as well, but as one of the last people to acquire on at least on this forum all bets are sadly off in my case.
I would wager that the current Zync customers will be quietly PC'd to something else perhaps we'd get to choose, likely with a waived or prorated AF for the year.
They won't allow us to keep the cards forever, at most it would be 4 years from 9/30 (expiration date of likely their last issued Zync).
I'm just going to wait and see and till they make a decision, keep to my plan and still run the majority of my expenditures through this card. I didn't work that hard to obtain it, but I hope I don't lose my new relationship with Amex over it's discontinuation.
DARN RIGHT! I run anywhere from 2.5k to 5.5k spend through the card per month but I'm a cheapskate and I don't want a high AF. If they will support my card for the next four years I will be happy. If they offer to PC my card to gold or PR gold with no fee for first year I would consider. The packs fit my needs... hopefully amex will consider a different product for peeps like me.

Professional Contractor
If You Are In This Contractor Group - You are the second largest group of the Four Types Of Contractors. Together you and your like-minded contractors combined production is more than the Enterprise Level Contractors due to the number of contractors similar to you.
Here Are A Few Statistical Production Averages Per Person Where You Do Well:
Sales Dollar Volume Per Job
Sales Dollar Volume Per Month
Sales Dollar Volume Per Year
Marketing Cost Per Dispatch
Dollars of Revenue Per Billable Hour
Percentage Closed Sales Per Dispatch
Billable Hours In Standard Eight Hour Day
Your production average - Per person is not as high as Dog And Pick-Up Truck Contractor however it is close because you have implemented systems, processes and procedures.
Your Company Has Implemented - Some Business Process Management Initiatives, Six Sigma Initiatives, BGC Matrixes, 80 20 Construction Rules and other profit and growth strategies.
This is according to our research and contractor studies we have been engaged in since the early 1970's.
Let Me Describe Some Of Your Wonderful Personality Traits
You Are A Wonderful Soul - Due to the number of times you have been involved in litigation, negotiations, defections of key staff and customers and the number of earth shaking massive disappointments you have experienced has toughened you up and you tend to keep your guard up.
One Of The Most Heart Wrenching - Tasks you have had to do is upgrade management staff because in order to get here you needed to change your staff several times. The people who helped you start the company would not adapt to change so you had to change people. The people who helped you grow the company from Salt of The Earth to Professional had to be replaced because sadly they would not adapt to change.
These Growth Events Are Called Expansion Isoquants - And if you planned for them they were fast and easy; however, if you did not it was hard and painful.
Your Company Now Has A Structured Approach - And you tend to operate more like a firm than a construction business.
Your Firm Has - Formal organizational charts, processes and systems including a formal documented business plan which is updated and reviewed regularly with a board of advisors as outlined in my article on the subject.
Your Firm Invests Heavily In Marketing - You understand your target market, and use The 80/20 Rule to understand the demographics and psychographics of their prime customer, the ones who generate 80% of the cash and income. You are always seeking to acquire more of them and will do whatever is economically feasible to turn those customers into lifetime repeat business.
Your Firm Usually - Engages the services of a competent financial planner, banker and accountant to work together in helping plan and develop a financial estate that can take care of the officers and key employees in their senior years
Your Firm Normally - Has or is developing a succession plan to sell or pass on the firm to future generations.
Your Firm Operates - As C-Corporation, LLC or Sub-S or Partnership.
The Owners Generally Earn - $100,000+ a year after all expenses
Your Bookkeeping Needs Are - Fairly complex and in most cases we handle all your bookkeeping using our Cloud Based Bookkeeping System and 24 Hour Bookkeepers including Pay Applications, Payroll Processing, Quarterly Reports for a surprising low cost. Business coaching is included at no additional charge along with access to The SnoKing Contractors Center.
This Is Only The Tip - Of the Iceberg. Everything we publish in our blog posts, articles in other websites, and anything you can find on the web is nothing compared to what is available to you as our client. We show only the basic tools to open your mind to the possibilities that are available to you. The best finish carpentry tools in the hands of a golf professional without proper carpentry training will not produce anything near to what a skilled finish carpenter can. The same can be said about the best construction business consulting and accounting tools in the hands of a skilled finish carpenter. And I say that with respect and admiration for everyone in construction.
When You Become A Client - Then we can tap into our resources of knowledge and strategy banks. We use the reports hidden in you QuickBooks in order to diagnose and understand your construction business and develop plans and help you implement a path to success for you and you alone because every contractor has unique Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (S.W.O.T. Analysis) that when understood can lead to a Strategic Roadmap which cannot help but make a lot of money.

2 Chainz Working With Kanye West
Fresh off of signing with Def Jam, 2 Chainz has more good news to share.
He's working with Kanye West.
"One thing that people may not know is that I've been working with Kanye West for the past year," 2 Chainz told MTV's RapFix Live on Wednesday. "We have records together, we have ideas that we're planning on releasing to the world real soon. I'm tryna get my 'N in Paris' swag up."
It's possible their collaborations could wind up on Chainz' official solo debut album, <i>T.R.U. 2</i>, later this year.
"I been fortunate enough to work everybody in the game, some of the best talent in the game from Luda to Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane, everybody in Atlanta, T.I., Jeezy," 2 Chainz continued. "I think this was just another angle that I could appreciate, that I can maybe learn from. I'm one of those people that feel like you're never too old to learn new things and even bruh, he still can learn new things from the avenue and path that I come from. It'll be cool, we gonna shake up hip-hop a little bit, shake up rap a little bit. You see what I did on my own."
Formerly known as Tity Boi from Ludacris' DTP crew, 2 Chainz has caught fire with his huge single, "Spend It." He's only padded his resume by turning in memorable guest verses on Rick Ross' "Party Heart" and Young Jeezy's "SupaFreak." —Jakinder Singh

In providing the vulnerability analysis for SANS every week, the TippingPoint DVLabs security team simultaneously develops new attack filters to address the vulnerabilities and incorporates these filters into Digital Vaccines. Vaccines are created not only to address specific exploits, but also potential attack permutations, protecting customers from Zero-Day threats.
For maximum security coverage, TippingPoint deploys a variety of security filters, including traffic anomaly filters and vulnerability-based filters. In the case of a virus, where there is no underlying vulnerability, TippingPoint delivers attack signatures. Digital Vaccines are delivered to customers twice a week, or immediately when critical vulnerabilities and threats emerge, and can be deployed automatically with no user interaction required.
New filters are continuously fed to the IPS to keep it up-to-date against the latest vulnerabilities. Each filter can be thought of as a Virtual Software Patch that is created within the network to protect downstream hosts from attack. Any malicious traffic intended to exploit a particular vulnerability is immediately detected and blocked. The solution is highly scalable in that the intrusion prevention system can protect thousands of unpatched systems with a single virtual patch.
TippingPoint's expertise is recognized worldwide: 130,000 administrators, executives, and security professionals subscribe to the SANS @RISK report, which is authored by TippingPoint security analysts. The same analysis feeds our Digital Vaccine filter developers to prioritize how best to protect our customers. New Digital Vaccines are typically released on a bi-weekly basis, but are turned in a matter of hours in emergency situations. The speed with which we deliver new filters makes this a powerful weapon in the patch race. Testing.
SANS @RISK Report Weekly Vulnerability Report - 300K Subscribers Worldwide
Delivered every Thursday, the SANS @RISK newsletter summarizes newly discovered vulnerabilities, details their impact, and informs of actions large organizations have taken to protect their users. The SANS @RISK newsletter is available for free at http://www.sans.org/newsletters/risk.
The @RISK e-mail newsletter provides analysis and remediation information about newly discovered critical vulnerabilities that require immediate action. It is compiled by the security team at TippingPoint as a by-product of its continuous and comprehensive effort to update its intrusion prevention products with the latest vulnerability-based security filters known as Virtual Software Patches. The newsletter is enhanced by the actions large companies and government agencies have taken to protect their own systems.

East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has laughed off criticism from a constituent who called him a "loathsome little redneck".
The DUP representative claimed the jibe came in a letter from a Whitehead resident in response to one of his weekly columns in the News Letter.
Speaking to the Times this week, Mr Wilson said: "A few weeks ago, I wrote a column in defence of Christians. This made reference to the Bishop of Down and Connor's recent comments on abortion as well as Pastor McConnell's comments on the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries.
"A man from Whitehead then wrote to me in response; he was outraged that anyone should hold these views and called me a 'loathsome little redneck'.
"To me, this summarises everything I believe about those who call themselves liberal; often they cannot tolerate anyone who holds different views to them."
Indicating that he had received more support than condemnation over the views expressed in the column, Mr Wilson added: "These sorts of comments don't bother me at all; I'm used to them. People like that are hiding behind the cloak of liberalism and they don't seem to recognise their own bigotry."
The former Finance Minister likened the situation to the recent controversy over Ashers bakery.
The Christian-run business, based in Newtownabbey, came under fire earlier this month after refusing to produce a cake which carried a pro-gay marriage slogan.
The owners of the bakery have been told they now face possible prosecution by the Equality Commission for "unlawful discrimination" against the gay rights group who had made the order.
In his most recent column for the News Letter, Mr Wilson writes: "The Equality Commission's willingness to race to the aid of this homosexual group speaks volumes about the in-built bias of this body.
"This will be the eighteenth sexual orientation case the Equality Commission has taken up since 2008 but, despite increasing discrimination against Christians in the workplace and elsewhere, it has yet to take up cudgels on behalf of Christians.
"(The Equality Commission)] has now become the blunt instrument of the thought police, bludgeoning into submission those who dare to deviate from the politically correct speech and behaviour demanded by the intolerant liberal elite who seem to hate everything that Christians stand for.
"Let us be clear about the case which is now threatened against Ashers Bakery. It is not that they refused to sell goods to a gay couple, merely that they refused to promote a message advocating gay marriage."
Urging members of the public to "rally round" the local business, Mr Wilson added: "We need a conscience clause which exempts individuals from laws which interfere with their beliefs."

A £10MILLION housing project designed to modernise three blocks of flats is on course to be completed by spring 2015.
Social landlord Newport City Homes hopes to finish the upgrade to bring the three, 82-flat blocks to Welsh housing quality standards by May next year.
The re-cladding of the Greenwood block in Beaufort Road, St Julian's, is nearly done and the internal works are due to be completed by the end of this year, a spokeswoman said yesterday.
All the tenants will have new kitchens and bathrooms, double glazed windows, electric heating systems and electric panel radiators will improve the energy efficiency of all homes.
The layout of flats will also change to give the best use of space and will see bathrooms, bedrooms and lounges accessed from the hallways.
Externally, the new cladding and roofs will help to improve insulation at the towers built decades ago.
A NCH spokeswoman said: "There has been good progress over the last six months on our tower blocks programme.
"Newport City Homes will continue to work with residents and contractors over the next year to ensure we deliver improved standards of accommodation and energy efficiency.
"We expect to complete all three tower blocks by May 2015."
The internal works of the Milton Court tower in Hendre Farm Road, Ringland, are nearing completion and internal works are expected to begin by the start of next month.
Meanwhile, the external upgrade of the Hillview block in Gaer Road, Gaer, is underway with the internal improvements due to start in June.
Contractor Wates Living Spaces is overseeing the refurbishment with the help of almost 100 contractors.
