Bank Of America Online

Bank Of America Online :Charlotte, NC – Bank of America Corp. plans to offer online bank account that charges $ 8.95 monthly fee for a paper application and use of counters, as it seeks ways to offset the revenue loss due to new regulations. Under the new account, the Bank of America customers will be driven to the use of ATMs and online banking to basic services, how to make your deposits and withdrawals.

Cliff Lee To Texas For Justin Smoak, Finalized

Everybody thought earlier today that Cliff Lee would be on his way out of Seattle. They were right. Instead of heading to the visitor’s clubhouse in Seattle to join the New York Yankees, however, he joins the division rival Texas Rangers, along with RP Mark Lowe . Coming back to Seattle will be Justin Smoak and three others according to this Joel Sherman tweet . This deal has also been confirmed by Ken Rosenthal, who adds that the Mariners will be sending cash to the Rangers to help cover the $4M that Lee is owed over the rest of the season. Earlier today, some thought that Jesus Montero was a solid haul for Lee, along with the rest of the package. In that case, the return of Justin Smoak has to be seen as an absolute steal. Smoak had an .885 OPS between three different leagues in 2009. Smoak then posted a 1.010 OPS in 15 games with AAA Oklahoma City before receiving a call up to the big leagues. His power hasn’t really materialized at the big league lev...

Toronto Earthquake

Toronto Earthquake happened earlier this day with a magnitude 5.5. It happened exactly at Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa while Canada prepares to host 2010 G8/G20 Summit and welcomes dozens of world leaders. Although the Geological Survey of Canada considered a 5.7 magnitude of the earthquake, the Geological Service of the United States downsized it to a 5.5 magnitude. The epicenter of the seism occurred approximately 30 kilometers north of Buckingham, Quebec which is a little town situated approximately 25 kilometers north-east ofOttawa. There were no damages and injuries reported except for some walls that shook in downtown Montreal. In Ottawa, some tall buildings had been evacuated and the streets were filled with workers who ran out from their workstations and were banned to return to their posts for a few minutes. Witnesses said that there were visible cracks on the walls of the Parliamentary Press Gallery and the office of the AFP in Ottawa. The quake also occurred in some p...

Tracy, the 2003 Champ Car World Series champion, will aim to put the disappointment of failing to qualify at Indianapolis behind him as he will drive for KV Racing again at Toronto and Edmonton in back-to-back weekends next month, July 18 and 25. “Honda is a company built on the dreams of its founder and all of its associates, which is why Honda’s corporate slogan is The Power of Dreams,” said Steve Hui, assistant general manager of the Honda Prairie Zone. “It’s the power of dreams that has led us to innovations and new technologies over the years.

The Future Of Google TV Is...

Google TV is going to be very interesting. It is far from a certainty that it will be more than Apple TV in terms of consumer sales. From a first glance the Marketplace is the most important and interesting element of the announcement. As a development platform, Android creates the potential for untold unique and interesting applications that could capture users imagination. Early on, I don’t think TV oriented apps will have the most impact. If I understood the announcement, in the beginning of 2011, there will be an Android Marketplace. The money and the opportunity won’t be in TV apps. It will be in gaming and social apps. The low hanging fruit will be in taking apps that work on facebook and Iphone/Pad and moving them (if they haven’t already) to the Android platform and upsizing them to take advantage of working on a big screen. The Google TV box could be a very cool and hopefully inexpensive gaming console. That is where the money will be. What about TV ? The success of G...

Miss USA 2010: Six Ways to Revive the Pageant

They were textbook Trump, the lingerie photos of Miss USA hopefuls that spread across the Internet this week. News outlets tripped over each other trying to be the first to call them a publicity stunt, plain and simple. Well, yeah. Professional outlandishness is the Donald’s forte — and no one needs the profile boost like Miss USA, who, after 58 years, is looking over the hill. Still, there are things besides a black mesh corset that could turn this trainwreck around. Not in time for today’s edition, of course. But, Mr. Trump, if the pinup shots don’t leave you rolling in ratings, there’s always next year. A makeover, in the most literal sense. We know what we’re getting when we tune into a pageant: stiff smiles, shellacked hair and spackled faces. In other words, the epitome of beauty, circa 1952. Times have changed. Compare the painted-doll look with the glowy, tousle-haired models gracing magazine covers and the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway. That’s what brings in viewe...

Brian Vickers To Miss Sprint Cup Series Event Sunday At Dover International Speedway Because Of Medical Issues

Red Bull Racing announced today that Sprint Cup Series driver Brian Vickers will miss Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 at Dover International Speedway because of a recent diagnosis of a medical condition. According to a release from the Red Bull Racing team, the 26-year old Vickers was hospitalized Wednesday evening "and continues to undergo testing and further evaluation." Casey Mears has been tabbed to fill in for Vickers in the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota at Dover. "It is unfortunate that I will not be able to participate in the Dover race," Vickers said in the release. "Casey is a good friend of mine, and I know he will do his best for the No. 83 team this weekend." Vickers sits 20th in the Sprint Cup Series standings. Mears raced full-time in the Sprint Cup Series from 2003-09, spending time with Chip Ganassi Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing. He has made 254 career Sprint Cup Seri...

Edmund de Rothschild and Global Warming

How Edmund de Rothschild Managed to Let 179 Governments Pay Him for Grasping Up to 30% of the Earth Woe to him that … establisheth a city by iniquity!… that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity (Habakkuk 2:12-13) Summary: After Edmund de Rothschild’s statement, without basis, at the 4th World Wilderness Congress in 1987, that CO2 is the cause of a non-existent global warming – and that combating it needs money (our money), he founded the World Conservation Bank for this reason. In 1991 its name was changed to The Global Environment Facility (GEF). The purpose of this facility is to lend money to the poorest countries, printed by the IMF out of thin air, and with the guarantee of our governments. The facility takes wilderness areas with mineral riches as security. The GEF money is then to flow back to our governments as reimbursement for paid loans. I.e. We give away our tax money. For what? When a country cannot repay loans to...

There’s Nothing Good About The Ham Game:Christine Staub

There’s Nothing Good About The Ham Game: Christine Staub : This week on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”, Danielle Staub has flashbacks, Jacqueline Laurita gets backhanded, figuratively speaking, from Caroline Manzo and Teresa Giudice , and fatback makes a decorative statement in the Manzo household. House poor: Danielle gets a visit from Karin, her realtor; she’s considering selling her house, although she says that her husband gets half the sale, so she’s not very motivated. She is very proud of her bathroom, the nicest in Wayne. It has a bidet! She doesn’t want to spend any money to fix up the house, which she says cost nearly $2 million to buy and now will be listed for $1.495 million . She also whines to the realtor about her husband not sending her money on time, if at all (this is the husband of whom Danielle once said, “There’s no finer man in the world”).

Your request is being processed... Dallas Braden PERFECT GAME: Oakland A's Pitcher Perfect Against Tampa Bay Rays

OAKLAND, Calif. — Dallas Braden definitely owns the mound now. Braden pitched the 19th perfect game in major league history on Sunday, shutting down the majors' hottest team and leading the Oakland Athletics to a 4-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Braden threw his arms in the air after Gabe Kapler grounded out to shortstop for the final out, his simmering feud with Yankees star Alex Rodriguez merely a footnote to the first perfect game for Oakland in 42 years. The closest the Rays got to a hit was Jason Bartlett's liner to third leading off the game. Evan Longoria tried to bunt leading off the fifth, drawing boos from the small crowd. "Pretty cool," Braden said. "I don't know what to think about it just yet. There's definitely a select group. I'd like to have a career more than today." Before this gem, Braden was best known for his enraged reaction to Rodriguez walking across the mound on April 22...

BBL: Terrence Jones announces decision at 6:30 p.m.

Big Blue Links for Friday: Christopher Lawlor of espn.com on Terrence Jones’ announcement today: Jones, the versatile 6-foot-9 power forward from Jefferson High in Portland, Ore., will break his silence Friday afternoon (6:30 p.m. ET) when he announces his college choice. The decision is late in the process for the prolific prospect, who played in the Jordan Brand Classic, Nike Hoops Summit and McDonald’s All-American Game — the trinity of senior all-star contests — this spring. The Lawrence Journal-World will carry the press conference live. Kentucky Sports Network has re-posted its interview with Terrence Jones from last month. Percy Allen of the Seattle Times writes on the Jones’ pick: While prolonging his recruiting with Washington, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oregon and Oklahoma, he was able to gain more information about the recruiting process to make an informed decision. The extra time allowed him to make an official visit to Lawrence, Kansas and determine where another stando...

Friends…how many of us have them?

There is something amazing about social media web sites. I guess it revolves around the notion of re-inventing the wheel. Viewers, listeners, readers,the audience as we are known in communications studies have become creators. Without all the filtering of traditional media such as radio, tv and newspapers, we are the message because the medium of the net is the message. Or is there much more to it than the magnetic and somewhat addictive characteristics of the Web 2.o Revolution? Just think about it, ten or fifteen years ago did we sit in front of the TV or listen to the radio for say 6 hours each day. Television was important, but who actually viewed that much 7 days a week without fail. But many of us do spend that much time online, Facebooking, Youtubing, sending, receiving, writing and answering emails, surfing the net and yes BLOGGING! I lived life without a TV as a student. Radio was different for me as I worked on a campus station so it was an occupational production hazard...

Bret Michaels -- The Odds of Survival

Bret Michaels doesn't just need good medical attention to survive his current condition -- he also needs luck. According to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center , people who don't receive proper medical treatment after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage have a 20% to 30% chance of experiencing a second bleed within the first month -- and the odds of surviving a second bleed are extremely slim. Cedars states, "Recurrent bleeding has a 70% mortality rate." Fortunately, Michaels is reportedly being treated in a capable medical center. However, it appears as though Michaels is already beating the odds -- Cedars reports that roughly 1/3 of people who have a subarachnoid hemorrhage die during the hemorrhage because of extensive brain damage. Obviously, Michaels has already cleared that hurdle. As for Michaels' treatment, Cedars warns, "Because of the ominous prognosis with delayed definitive therapy, referral to a center of excellence with experience in treating subarach...

Why President Obama Needs to Block the Backroom Deal on International Whaling

Plans are underway to gut the international whaling moratorium first approved in 1982 by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The secret IWC deal, originally negotiated by the Bush administration, would allow Japan, Norway and Iceland to continue their slaughter of whales despite the existing IWC moratorium on commercial whaling. In fact, the deal would allow those countries to continue their illegal whale slaughter for commercial gain under the approval of the IWC, including whaling in the southern Antarctic Ocean whale sanctuary designated by the IWC. Japan has been flaunting the IWC treaty by issuing “scientific” permits as a cover for their ongoing commercial whaling operations. Norway and Iceland objected to the moratorium and have continued their whaling operations despite the international whaling moratorium. A large coalition of international environmental and animal welfare organizations recently completed an analysis of the newly proposed IWC deal and are uniformly opp...

Larry King Files For His Eighth Divorce

In these days of constant tumult and distress that we’re bombarded with every day in the news, we long to hear something familiar and soothing. An hour ago, the celebrity gossip-hounds at TMZ gave us just that . Reading that Larry King has filed for divorce from Shawn Southwick , his wife of almost thirteen years (and 25 years his junior), is about as familiar as wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket and eating chicken soup your mother made. All kidding aside, divorce is a terrible thing and King and Southwick, whom he married in 1997, do have two children together. We have to remember though, that this is King’s eighth divorce. His attorney must be so rich. So, in summary, divorce is not funny at all and nothing to make jokes about. However, an eighth divorce is…inevitably a late-night punchline.

GALLERY: Baxter shows there's no U-T spell

There’s the famed Sports Illustrated cover jinx, but there is no Union-Tribune hex. On Saturday, U-T columnist Nick Canepa let readers know that Mission Bay High product Dillon Baxter isn’t exactly tripping over himself during USC spring football. USC coach Lane Kiffin called Baxter’s debut, “phenomenal.” At a Trojans scrimmage Saturday, Baxter let loose with a 50-yard TD run. Kiffen repeated the phenomenal word again, then added, “It didn’t matter who was there. Nobody could tackle him.” TRIVIA TIME Who won the first sudden-death playoff at the Masters ? WESTWOOD’S A NICE CHAP “Despite another close loss in a major, Lee Westwood was in a playful mood on Sunday night. When he sat down in the interview room and there was no moderator, he made the introductory announcement himself.

Jimmy Rollins Injured

Shortstop Jimmy Rollins was a late scratch from the lineup for that Phillies’ residence opener Monday as a result of a strained right calf . Rollins apparently injured the calf running within the outfield during warmups. There was no immediate word about the severity with the injury. He’s hitting .391 with eight runs scored in the very first six games this season. Rollins took batting practice and was announced inside the starting lineup before the game. It was Juan Castro who jogged out to shortstop in the initial inning, his first look being a member with the Phils. Castro, a journeyman infielder in his 13th season in the Key Leagues, was signed as a free agent in December. He started 29 games last couple of years to the Dodgers, which includes 19 at shortstop. Castro also moved into Rollins’ spot as the leadoff hitter. He grounded out to third base in his initial at-bat. Article From :http://scarlett-journey.net/2010/04/13/jimmy-rollins-injured/

Masters 2010 Leaderboard, Tiger Will Fall

As we approach the final round of the Masters, let us look upon the Masters 2010 leaderboard. Westwood is leading the pack, with Mickelson on his heels. Michelson is the favored winner and I would be honored to have him with the Masters title for this year. Behind these two are Tiger Woods (four shots back), along with Couples and Choi. Tiger Woods is not worthy of being called Master, as the name itself should be enough to know why he has no business with such title. As Tiger tries to rally today, let us remember it is the Lord’s Day so our prayers for gusts of wind to knock his shots into traps and for puts to just veer off a bit to the side due to several divinely stiff shards of grass guarding the cup, as to break his heart, will be heard. There is no miracle too small for God and it will be a great day to watch Tiger lose the Masters and never win a tournament again. It starts now so less pray Tiger’s day is cursed. If you take a look at the Masters 2010 Leaderboard and the od...

Kenny Chesney Livin’ La Dolce Vita

Kenny Chesney may have taken the year off from touring, but that doesn’t mean he has been staying home, either. The country superstar spent several weeks this winter in L.A. editing his new concert film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D, which hits theaters April 21, and managed to squeeze in his first-ever Italian vacation. “We went to Capri, Positano and a little town called Ravello,” Chesney says. “I ate a lot of bread, drank a lot of wine and ate some really good cheese. And it was great. It’s somewhere I’ve wanted to go my whole life, but I never afforded myself the time to do things like that. Now it’s one of my favorite places in the world.” Though taking the time off “was the hardest decision I’ve ever made,” Chesney says, “I’m so glad I made it. I haven’t felt this content in a long time.” The drive that had made the singer the biggest North American ticket seller of the past decade had also tak...

Demi Moore blasts Kim Kardashian for using ‘Big pimpin’ on Twitter

The actress, 47, took offence when Kardashian, 29, captioned a pic on her Twitter page using the words ‘Big pimpin’. According to the Daily Mail, Kardashian was attending a glamorous charity event in Miami and wanted to show her Twitter fans a snap of herself with her celebrity pals, reports the Daily Telegraph.
