The offer gives just two months to pass the balance. So, many people who are carrying a balance can't pay them off all at once. I suspect the timing of this might have something to do with tax refunds coming in, and the thought that if you're going to pay down your debt with the tax refund, Amex wants you to take them instead of one of your other credit card companies.

It makes some sense. We're seeing all kinds of, sort of, cutbacks and harsher terms different from this. At least this you get a choice. In the credit card industry, generally, that are designed to respond to the fact that the credit card industry pushed out too much debt to American consumers, and too much credit availability, and now they're trying to pull it back all at once.

But the companies are trying to reduce their overall exposure by bringing the limits down very close to what is already owed. And some consumers are telling us that as they try to pay down that new - their existing balance - so as to make it not look like their maxed out on their card with the new limit, it's being lowered again.

We have seen some increase in interest rates over the last year. Some consumers seem to be getting it more than others. They get these vague explanations - like market conditions. We're also seeing a lot more consumers getting bumped over into the penalty box. You know, you forgot to mail a bill. Or, the payment came in one or two days late. Most consumers are getting bumped over. And the difference between who you pay under your promised rates and what you pay for the penalty rate is now 16 points, that's the largest it's ever been.

No. What I'm getting - consumers telling me, my rate went up, I can't get the bank to tell me why. They just said the computer picked you. If you make a mistake, if you have a late payment, you can get bumped in the penalty box and your rate can sky rocket. So the companies can already do that and they've already been doing that.

Despite some early diplomatic maneuverings, there are few signs the fighting will stop anytime soon. Israeli Major General Udi Adam, head of the northern command, told Army radio yesterday that the air attacks had significantly degraded Hezbollah's fighting ability. But there's more fighting ahead, he said, adding, I think we should assume that it will take a few more weeks.

It could be made that way. Much has been made of what Iran's strategic interests in Iraq might be. And it had been thought at one time, that it would be very satisfied if there were an ongoing resistance that would bog down the American forces in particular in a long-term, low-grade counter-insurgency. But as the violence is mounting and the situation is deteriorating, border control becomes very important to keep that violence - and particularly violent crime from large organized criminal elements - from spilling over into neighboring countries.

Wind power advocates say Kennedy had committee chairman John Warner of Virginia tuck an amendment requiring the study into the Defense Reauthorization Bill.

A Defense spokeswomen says the department decided on its own to temporarily postpone turbine construction within 40 miles of military and commercial radar installations while the study is completed.

Wes Slaymaker is with EKO energy, the company wanting to put turbines on Hellinbrand's farm. He says the wind industry was blindsided and the unexpected delay could cost millions. Some developers have already ordered turbines. Agreements with landowners and utilities may have to be renegotiated, and some could lose out on renewable energy tax credits that expire next year, all for something they say is unnecessary.

Extending the real sovereignty of the Lebanese state, all the way to the border, is not going to be easy.

"Refuge" was hard for me. You know, it was about the death of my wife. And it was hard for me. And we had a lot of go-arounds on it. But in the long run, I think it has helped a lot of people. I mean, when "Refuge" was on tour, the book tour, all the women would come bringing their mother and their sister with their bandanas on their head because they were taking chemotherapy. And so, the audience would just be full of bald women taking chemotherapy. So, you know, it's so touching.

And I think they were helped by the message of hope, that nature's a cycle, you know, and things eventually cycle around, and it all works out. That's the basic premise of "Refuge," and basically it's the premise of this book probably, too. And I think it is true. You know, it is healing - nature is healing. It's all a great, big cycle.

"Refuge" was an amazing book for what it did to bring the story of human health and the story of environmental health together in a really passionate way. No one had done that as passionately since Rachel Carson. And I think Terry was the most prominent woman nature writer since Carson.

Like the author of "Silent Spring," Terry Tempest Williams is an environmentalist committed to showing man's impact on the land. Her connection to nature was forged as a young girl. Her father ran a family pipe-laying business and took her out on jobs with him all over the American West.

I read one time, I was reading, and it said a girl of 14 is just as physically strong and fit as a boy. So I treated Terry like a boy. I took her touring(ph) with me everywhere I went. And so I taught her a lot of lessons. I took her out on the jobs with me. So she's taken it from there and gone way beyond I ever thought of, you know.

It was on these trips that Terry Tempest Williams learned to pay close attention to the natural world. That skill came in handy when she was researching the second section of her book, which is about prairie dogs.

I watched prairie dogs every day stand with their paws pressed together facing the rising sun in total stillness for up to 30 minutes. And then I watched them at the end of the day take that same gesture. Thirty minutes before the sun goes down, they would press their palms together in perfect stillness. I don't mean to anthropomorphize, but when you look at a creature that has survived over the millennium begin and end each day in that kind of stance, it causes one to think about one's own life and the speed and rapidity with which we live.

The prairie dog family that she observed is one of the last remaining Utah prairie dog communities on protected land. In 1973, the Utah prairie dog was put on the endangered species list. But after lobbying from developers and ranchers, it was demoted to a threatened species. Most Westerners see them as pesky rodents, more suited to extermination than protection.

In my perspective, as a young boy, when we were on our way to Jackson Hole in Wyoming driving with my parents, they'd let us out and my brother and I with our .22s would shoot dozens of them just for target practice. You know, they were everywhere. See what I mean? They were just so common, it was ridiculous. So, I wouldn't tell Terry this, but I, you know, shot up to a hundred of them in a day, myself, as a young boy, see.

People are going to criticize her for that, saying, oh, Terry, a prairie dog's not a human being. You can't write about the two things in the same book. She's not saying a prairie dog is a human being. She's saying we're killing everything from the bottom to the top with no culpability, no accountability, no emotions, no considerations. She's just bearing testimony to the things she loves about life and about being alive.

Terry Tempest Williams' decision to go to Rwanda followed a harrowing period in her life. Her brother had just died of lymphoma, a death she also believes is tied to nuclear testing. And she'd been studying the prairie dogs' demise. Williams says she thought she couldn't handle any more death or pain.

You know, I look at the plight of the prairie dogs. I look at my brother's death from lymphoma as a downwinder. And I look at the causes that underlie any war. And I think if we look deeply enough, we see the same symptoms. It's about power. It's about greed. It's about certain elements of the population that are expendable.
