The patient was a young black man named James Cornish. He had been rushed to Provident Hospital on the South Side with a knife wound in his chest from a barroom brawl.

Sometimes its your bank that allows charges to go through on an expired card if they determine it to be a recurring service charge. This is why it's often not sufficient to request a new card number if you are trying to stop a company from continuing to charge you for a recurring service.
Closing Dates Vary. Some credit cards use the same closing date every month. One card, for instance, may close or change billing periods on the 6th of each month. Other card closing dates vary with the number of days in the month, so a card may close on the 18th of one month and the 20th of the next. The closing date is when new charges cease to be added to that period's bill and interest is calculated on the balance due up to that point.
