Thousands of Metro area residents are about to get a shock. Their mortgage payment may jump $200 or more! These are people who got government help five years ago under the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).
They may not remember or realize that the low mortgage rate they were awarded was locked for only five years.
Time's up.
VIDEO: Andrew Johnson from GreenPath Deb Solutions talks to Murray Feldman about some ways you can move out of HAMP and into your next set of payments. Play the video report from Fox 2 News at 5 p.m. and use this help page: www.greenpath.org
ARTICLE By Nick DeMeester, GreenPath housing manager
CNN recently reported that the earliest enrollees in the government's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) will be seeing their mortgage rates increase shortly, that could result in more re-defaults in the next few years.
The HAMP program was launched in 2009. It was intended to help troubled borrowers by reducing the principal balance they owed or the monthly interest they paid. Some borrowers received interest rates as low as two percent.
The earliest borrowers in the program, where the modifications remained fixed for five years, will begin seeing their rates climb.
The CNN story quoted Treasury Department special inspector general Christy Romero. She said, "We're already seeing alarming re-default rates and are really worried that this could lead to more. It will be a real challenge for people to pay the higher amounts."
If you enrolled in the HAMP program and have questions, feel free to reach out to us at (800) 550-1961.

SPRING, Texas (AP) - Six people are dead, including four children, after someone opened fire at a home in a normally quiet neighborhood in a northern Houston suburb.
A spokesman for the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office says a woman was wounded. No information was immediately available on identities or how the victims were related.
A Harris County Sheriff's Office statement says precinct deputy constables were called to the house about 6 p.m. Wednesday and found two adults and three children dead. Another child later died at a hospital.
The wounded woman was able to identify the gunman and direct deputies to him. Those deputies cornered the suspect in a nearby cul-de-sac. That standoff is ongoing.

Directional boring begins in Backus
EBI Directional Drilling out of Duluth, MN began directional boring in Backus on July 29.
This directional boring is the first physical step towards connecting Backus to the wastewater treatment facility near Pine River, a project began when the city was notified by the MPCA in 2005 that the Backus sewer system needed to be updated.

Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) for Bed-Wetting
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) come in tablet form and are usually taken in the evening. They are sometimes taken midafternoon and at bedtime to help prevent accidental wetting that occurs early in the night.
How It Works
The exact way that TCAs help reduce bed-wetting is not known. They may affect the muscles of the bladder, or they may have some effect on the hormone that causes the kidneys to release urine (antidiuretic hormone). They may work by causing the child to sleep more lightly.
Why It Is Used
TCAs may help decrease bed-wetting for short periods of time for children 6 years and older. These medicines most often are used with another form of treatment such as praise and encouragement (motivational therapy).
How Well It Works
Both imipramine and desipramine have been shown to reduce the number of wet nights and help children have 14 dry nights in a row.1
About half of the children who take imipramine for bed-wetting are able to control bed-wetting, at least for a short time. After they stop taking the medicine, about 30 out of 100 of those children will wet the bed again.2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call the doctor right away if your child has:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, a person taking antidepressants should be watched for warning signs of suicide. This is especially important at the beginning of treatment or when the doses are changed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Never have your child suddenly stop taking TCAs. The use of these medicines should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping these medicines can cause negative side effects.
TCAs are not recommended for long-term treatment of accidental wetting. Some children get worse the longer they take TCAs. The reason for this is not known.
If a child takes a larger dose (accidental overdose), death could occur. A child who has taken an overdose of a TCA may have:
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

Staff in the CNM Nanophotonics Group have measured how light emission from individual colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots, is modified when in proximity to smooth metal films. Metal nanostructures can strongly modify how quantum dots emit light because of their coupling to electron oscillations in the metal, known as surface plasmons. Emission modification is important for the improvement of light-emitting devices, development of novel imaging techniques, and observation of novel phenomena, such as nanoscale lasing. Quantum dots and metal nanoparticles can exhibit significant variation in size and shape, however, which makes it difficult to extract quantitative information. The new study alleviates this problem by employing single quantum dots near a smooth gold film. Even using single dots, measurements are difficult because of the well-known phenomenon of fluorescence fluctuation, or blinking. The CNM scientists developed a time-resolved single-photon counting technique to extract intrinsic emission rates, thereby resolving for the first time coupling between individual quantum dots and the metal surface.

Murray Henderson, who patrolled the Boston blue line for eight seasons in the 1940s and 50s, did not have big-league dreams in his youth despite a lineage that seemed to indicate success with skating. His mother, Catherine, was the eldest of ten Conacher children, a brood that ultimately sent brothers, Lionel, Charlie and Roy to the Hockey Hall of Fame but young Murray had no aspirations beyond playing senior amateur in and around his home town of Toronto.
His first strides in organized hockey took place under the watchful eye of Ed Wildey, who ran the Toronto Young Rangers. A long-time fixture on the amateur sports scene and an avid promoter of physical fitness Wildey did not have the financial resources available to him that other junior teams enjoyed and often dealt his better players away to keep the Young Rangers afloat.
Playing for Wildey meant a lot of early mornings.
"We used to practice every morning at the Gardens," he remembered. "Then I went off to school or to work afterwards."
Henderson spent three seasons with the Young Rangers, suiting up alongside future NHLer, Jim (no relation) Conacher, one season and long-time friend Herb Carnegie in another before being sold to the Toronto Marlboros, where he finished up his junior career without being courted or signed to a c-form by any of the pro organizations.
"I wasn't good enough, to put it bluntly," he said. "There were a lot of really good hockey players around and I didn't show enough for anyone to be really interested. I guess I was a late bloomer."
Enlisting in the Royal Canadian Air Force, Henderson continued to play, lacing them up in both military and industrial leagues where most of the other players had spent significantly more time in pro hockey sweaters than in military garb. Among his defence partners with the Toronto RCAF squad were recent NHLers Doug McCaig, Eddie Bush and Ernie Dickens.
Henderson held his own with and against the pros and observers began postulating that he might be destined to reach the same heights as his uncles.
While he did have time to hit the ice while in an RCAF uniform, Henderson spent the bulk of his time in the air. After earning his pilot's wings in Brampton and further training on the Atlantic coast, he spent a year in British Columbia, flying out over the Pacific Ocean on an almost daily basis to help keep the coast clear of enemy submarines and ships.
"We were stationed at a place called Bella Bella," he recalled."It's about half-way to Alaska. We used to fly out patrol, maybe 500 miles out into the Pacific, weather permitting. If the patrol lasted eight hours we got a half day off. If it lasted fifteen we got the whole day.
"We didn't see much action," Henderson continued. "We had early radar and we would pick up the Russian freighters going back and forth. We'd be above the clouds and we'd have to come down. They'd have to throw up the flags of the day to identify themselves and then we'd leave them alone."
Henderson's RCAF tenure came to a sudden and premature end due to the death of his father in late 1944. The flyboy was returned to civilian life and found himself in demand in an NHL depleted by wartime military enlistments.
A tip from Uncle Charlie to Boston's head scout, Harold "Baldy" Cotton, resulted in an invite to Beantown. Following a short conditioning stint with the semi-pro Boston Olympics of the EHL Henderson signed with the Bruins in late February of 1945, becoming a member of the Bruins blue line corps, a post he'd hold for the next eight seasons.
"Towards the end of the year there was an ice show or something like that at the Garden and the Bruins were on a do-or-die road trip," he said. In those days it was always a fight for the playoffs. Toronto Detroit and Montreal were almost always the first three so we, Chicago and New York fought it out for fourth."
Henderson made his first NHL appearance against the Detroit Red Wings. His initial shift is vividly etched in his mind. Over sixty years later he still remembers it as if it happened today.
"My first trip out onto the ice at The Olympia, our end was way down the rink from our bench and I broke my stick. In those days you had to go right to the bench to replace it – you couldn't keep playing without one like they do today. By the time I got to the bench and got a new stick, the puck was in our net. They walloped us 10-6 or something like that."
The Bruins made the playoffs that spring and fell to Toronto in the semi-finals with the rookie d-man appearing in all seven games.
When the war ended and the bulk of the departed players returned, Henderson had already established himself as a bona-fide NHLer. Toronto's Conn Smythe, perhaps peeved that the Leafs had allowed a local boy to slip away, filed a protest with the NHL claiming Art Ross had signed Henderson before he had been discharged from the RCAF, something that contravened league rules.
"I only knew what was going on through what I read in the papers. In those days the players were the last to know. It was a hot topic for a few days but it got smoothed over somehow and that was the end of it. I never did know any of the details," Henderson said.
The six-foot, 180-pounder effectively and efficiently nullified enemy forwards, playing a tough game while remaining largely within the bounds of what was tolerated by on-ice officials.
Averaging a dozen points a season, pretty good numbers for what passed for a two-way defenceman in his era, Henderson's first Boston address was a boarding house on the banks of the Charles River. Run by a woman named Ruthie Hatch, it was also the winter home to a half-dozen other Bruins.
Henderson was designated a Bruins alternate captain at the start of the 1946-47 schedule, despite having only a single full season of NHL play behind him, and gained favour with what was perhaps the most demanding fan base in the league.
While no official league individual honours accrued to him, Henderson was singled out by Boston Garden faithful for his play in the 1947-48 campaign. Following the 1947-48 campaign he and fellow blue line favourite, Pat Egan, were presented with wristwatches courtesy of the leather-lunged fans in the upper reaches of the rink. It might mean more to the soon to be 89-year-old than any All-Star team selection would have.
"They were a tough crowd, that upper gallery," Henderson recalled. "They had an outfit up there called the Gallery Gods. They got rid of a lot of players. It was a tough place to play if the crowd got on you. It was rough but they paid their money to get in."
Henderson made the biggest splash in the papers during the postseason in 1948 when he was on the receiving end of a "punch heard around the world".
In the fourth game of the semi-final series against Toronto, he had his nose shattered by Harry Watson, the one-sided bout also earning him five for fighting; the only major penalty awarded to him that season.
"I didn't fight that much but you had to try to protect your teammates," he explained. "Pete Horeck was the instigator. He instigated a lot of things. I just skated down to see what was happening and BOOM. I wound up with a broken nose. They had to set it so that finished me. By the time the nose healed the season was over."
A left-handed shot, Henderson was called upon to counter the top right wingers in the NHL, including the two men who vied for the distinction of being the best ever to play the position.
"I think I had pretty good luck with most of them but you knew you had your hands full any time you played Detroit or Montreal. Howe seemed to play using more of the ice. He'd go back into his end more often and bring out the puck. Richard you had to watch from the blue line in because when Lach could get him the puck with a bit of room he was dynamite."
In an era when even the elite players pondered long and hard before daring to ask for more money, Henderson took what he was offered and has no rancour about the wages he was paid.
Asked to comment on the give and take of salary negotiations with Bruins GM, Art Ross, he replied, "There wasn't much giving when it came to signing your contract. He was pretty tough when it came to contract time. I more or less went along with what they offered. Some of the guys had salary problems with him but I think he treated me fairly well."
Boston made it to the post season in all but one of the years Henderson patrolled their blue line but when the gear finally was packed away for good in the spring, it was time for Henderson to head homeward.
The off-season was largely down time for Henderson, who had worked in the purchasing department of Ontario Hydro in his amateur days. He spent a few months some summers working for the Board of Education setting up and running school track and field competitions.
Murray Henderson's name even managed to find its way into Toronto sports pages well after all the snow had melted thanks to his prowess at the plate in amateur ball.
"I played for Tip Top and Peoples down in the Beaches when it was the big league in town. I always had to leave before the season ended though," he said.
One summer was spent building a home for his family in Thornhill. Now a part of Toronto's urban sprawl, it was a long distance call away then.
"It was one of the most productive summers I ever spent," he remembered." I built the house with my brother-in-law. We had bought the property the spring before. It was about 75% finished when I went to camp but my brother-in-law stuck around and finished it so when we came back the next spring we had a house to move into."
Following the 1951-52 season, the only one in which Henderson did not manage to register at least one goal, Boston decided to go with more youth on defence and, rather than cutting the eight-year veteran loose, offered him a job in management. Henderson accepted and spent the next four years behind the bench of the AHL Hershey Bears, grooming youngsters for the big time. Many of them were on a fast track that ran from the junior Barrie Flyers through the Chocolate City and on to Boston.
Bruins sniper of the late 50s and early 60s, Don McKenney was one of the players on that track. So was Don Cherry who appeared in a single game as a Bruin.
"He was in a difficult situation when he came to training camp the first season. He had broken his ankle playing softball in Kingston and that hampered his play so he didn't show as well as he might have," Henderson said.
"He was a lot less vociferous in those days too," he chuckled. "He was a good guy though. I still bump into him occasionally. He certainly has made a name for himself."
After four years in Hershey Henderson turned down an offer of a job as a scout and opted to return to Toronto and enter the business world. He spent his second career in the beverage industry, first with Seagram and then with the William Mara Company, a spirits importer owned by George Mara, who had captained Canada's Olympic gold medal-winning hockey team in 1948.
Still a Bruin at heart, Henderson has watched on with interest as his number 8 was passed to Fleming Mackell and then to several other Bruins before ending up in the rafters after spending eight years on Cam Neely's back.
He keeps abreast of major developments in today's game, regularly watching on TV as men make a thousand times what he did.
"It's not the same game," said Henderson. "This isn't sour grapes or anything; it's just my personal opinion. The puck is like a ping-pong ball now. The whole thing is to move the puck – move the puck."
"In our days, with centremen that sometimes were a little slower but a lot smarter with the puck, they'd hold on to it until a teammate got into position and then make a pass. Now it's speed, speed, speed. It's a different game but who's going to knock it? It's a pretty successful sport."
When he left the NHL to move into the business world Henderson didn't hang up his skates for good. He and a number of other former NHLers, among them Harry Watson, Wally Stanowski and cousin, Peter Conacher, began getting together to work out the kinks on a regular basis and soon found themselves in demand for fundraisers in and around the Toronto area.
"We played 100 games a year, more or less," he said." We played every Friday evening and Sunday afternoon and had a little part in building a lot of local rinks."
His skates now irrevocably hung up, the affable and outgoing Henderson enjoys getting together regularly for lunch with former pros from the 40s, 50s and 60s retired in the Toronto area. When fellow oldster Stanowski entered his 90th year the other luncheoneers presented him with his own personalized chair.
Rumour has it that Murray Henderson won't have to go looking for a seat at lunch much longer.

The perks of the megaresort experience are obvious: free-flowing drinks, lots of chances to socialize with your fellow guests, and a sweeping breadth of amenities. But with these advantages comes an obvious lack of peace and quiet. When all you want to do is escape the crowds, the best bet is to seek out the small, hidden properties dotting the Caribbean shores. From eco-centric boutiques to romantic enclaves, these laid-back properties promise the glorious sound of silence. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these crowdless Caribbean locales.
Anacaona Boutique Hotel, Anguilla
Anguilla, a small British territory in the Caribbean, spans fewer than 40 square miles. Less built up than other isles, it manages to exude both an upscale and happy-go-lucky vibe with its gorgeous white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. There are few attractions, so days will mostly be spent sipping on drinks beach-side and dining at one the island's exclusive hotels. The 27-room Anacaona, for example, offers access to a stunning stretch of sand, rounds of golf at the nearby Greg Norman-designed course, dinner at a great restaurant serving Caribbean fare with a twist, and a massage hut on the beach. The hotel is a great choice for rest and relaxation–and it's an excellent value to boot. Read More »

For more than a decade, communities around the country have celebrated National Public Health Week (NPHW) each April to help protect and improve our nation's health. This year, as we face the inauguration of newly elected officials and with the nation's attention directed toward health reform, NPHW 2009 will focus on the role public health must play in improving our nation's health system.
The NPHW 2009 theme is "Building the Foundation for a Healthy America." Our goal is to raise awareness nationally and locally of public health's critical role in ensuring a healthy America.
Despite our best efforts, Americans are not as healthy as they should be. Although we spend more on health care than any other country, the health system is failing and our nation is falling behind in many important measures of what it means to be healthy. We have reached a point where we must examine our health system and the foundation upon which it stands.We have the potential to greatly improve our population's health in the future. By recommitting ourselves to support our nation's public health system, we can build on the successes of the past and establish the solid foundation needed for a healthy nation.
Join us in celebrating National Public Health Week 2009 and supporting public health efforts aimed at "Building the Foundation for a Healthy America.

I'm thinking of getting a breast lift since I have lost 55 lbs. and breastfed 4 kids. My breasts have gone from a 40H to 34C and I don't want any implant. When I put a bra on and take it off, the skin on my breasts is wrinkled. One of my breasts is slightly bigger than the other, so my nipples are not aligned--one points upwards. What benifits would I get from a breast lift? Would they be firmer, younger looking, and perkier? Thanks.
Breast Lift for Uneven Breasts After Breast Feeding, Weight Loss?
Doctor Answers (16)
Breast lift
Yes it can do all that but it does have limits and you have to be realistic. I will not firm up your breasts to the point of a 20 year old person but it will lift the tissue, give you more upper pole, tighten the skin and even up the areola.
Web reference: http://www.feplasticsurgery.com/orange-county-breastlift-newport-beach.php
Results Of Breast Lifting?
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on your weight loss.
Whether you'll be happy with the results of a breast lift will depend on your expectations and what you mean by "firmer, younger looking, and perkier". With breast lifting you will find that the breasts will sit higher on the chest wall, that there will be less "wrinkled skin", and probably improved symmetry of the breasts.
However, I would not promise significantly more firm breasts (long-term) without breast implants.
You may want to seek consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons and demonstrate your goals with pictures of what you would like to achieve.
I hope this helps.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_breastlift.htm
Good breat lift will make your breasts perky and symmetrical.
You sound like a great candidate for a breast lift with correction of breast asymmetry. You absolutely do not need breast implants. Lollipop scars.
You need an INTERNAL breast lift where the breast tissue itself is lifted, without relying on tightening the skin, because the skin stretches (Lejour technique). Lifts that tighten the "skin bra" fall again.
You might also like...
Breast lift will make your breasts more youthful!
Thank you for your question.
A breast lift can raise and make your breast more firm resulting in a more youthful breast contour. Providing that you have enough volume to get your desired shape, you should not need implants. From what you describe, this seems like it would be a fitting procedure for you and correct the issues you are having. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and they will be able to give you more personalized advice.
Best regards,
Dr. Speron
Breast Lift
A breast lift would be a good procedure for you from the way you describe the appearance of your breasts. However, you should be fully aware of the associated scars and the risks of the procedure. You should see a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in this technique.
Breast lift surgery
Provided that you have enough breast tissue and not just skin, a breast lift can raise you nipples, tighten your skin envelope and contour breast tissue to give it a more youthful appearance.
Breast lift after weight loss
Breast lift can give you rounder firmer and more symmetric results. If one breast is larger it can be reduced to match the other side. The only problem is that often there is still lack of adequate volume on the upper pole of the breasts and a small breast implant can help achieve a better results.
Mastopexy or breast lift surgery will grant your wish
A breast lift will shorten the vertical length of the breasts, makes them rounder and fuller on top, aligns the nipples and often reduces the arealoe (the pigmented tissue around the nipples). I do my breast lifts without removing any tissues, but skin.
I refer you to my web site for many examples of short acar breast lifts. Web: www.bellevueplasticsurgeons.com
Breast lift would be great for you
A breast lift would accomplish eaxctly what you want. It would lift the breast, get rid of the extra sagging skin and result in a perky, firmer and younger looking breast.
Breast lift is very effective after weight loss
After significant weight loss the breast too can deflate and become long and ribbon like. The nipple as a result is often dependent and well below the fold under the breast. Breast lift or mastopexy is very effective at raising the nipple to a front and center position above the fold, shaping the breast as the excess skin is tailored. The result is better firmness, a more youthful and vital appearance that will hold shape out of a bra. The asymmetry of the breast can be corrected as well when the lift is performed. After large amounts of weight loss, the results of a lift can be no less than miraculous. You often can go without a bra at times if you wish after a lift. It is certainly a procedure worth exploring.
Best of luck,

(WHAS11) - For the last couple of weeks our meteorologists have been inviting us into their homes and sharing with us what they do to live a greener lifestyle. This is how Monty Webb and his household is going green.
One thing they are doing at home is every time a regular light bulb burns out, they replace it with a compact fluorescent. They are highly energy efficient and they pay for themselves within six months, and fluorescent bulbs are 75% more energy efficient than regular light bulbs.
Another way of going green is with reusable grocery bags. They are much better for the environment. When the plastic bags hit the landfill they can stay there anywhere from 10-20 years before they decompose.
When shopping, look for packaging with the recycle symbol. By doing that it keeps a lot of waste material out of the landfills.
Another thing you can do is recycling. Have bins for glass, tin cans, plastic, and paper and cardboard. Tin cans can take up to 100 years to decompose in a landfill. Paper and cardboard stays in a landfill for 2-4 weeks. Plastic bottle 450 years, and a glass bottle 500 years. Styrofoam will never decompose.
The next meteorologist will be Reed Yadon, to see what he's doing to go green.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) - Tourists headed to the Grand Canyon on Tuesday could find themselves turned away at the entrance gates.
National parks are scheduled to close if an agreement on the federal budget isn't reached.
Employees of Grand Canyon National Park have been told to show up to work as scheduled Tuesday but most of them would be sent home if the government shuts down.
Some of the remaining employees will be posted at the entrance gates, while others will cordon off overlooks along a state highway that will remain open to through traffic. Signs at trailheads will tell people they have to leave.
Anyone already hiking in the backcountry or rafting on the Colorado River will be able to complete their trips.
About 18,000 people visit the Grand Canyon daily in October.

Matt Damon pledges not to use toilet
At least until everyone in the world has access to clean water. Can water investors do well by doing good?
The actor Matt Damon announced in a new YouTube video released Monday that he would no longer use the toilet. The video is well on its way to going viral, according to the L.A. Times.
Damon's threat is all part of a humorous three-minute spoof released by his nonprofit group, Water.org, designed to draw attention to the worldwide water crisis and the first in a series of videos shot at YouTube studios in Playa Vista, Calif.
In the video, Damon holds a mock news conference to announce that he won't use the toilet until people pay more attention to the water crisis and fields comical questions from a room filled with "actor" reporters.
Damon directs people to Strikewithme.org, where they can learn more about the water crisis, donate money and sign up to integrate their social media accounts with the effort.
While Damon's threat is satire, the water crisis is real. According to Damon, 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean water. In addition, Money Morning reports that most water delivery systems throughout the world are badly in need of repair or replacement. In the U.S. alone, estimates of water infrastructure needs run as high as $1 trillion.
The problem extends beyond the United States. The World Water Council says that current annual infrastructure spending of about $80 billion will double just within the next several years.
The effort that goes into making water available to billions of people -- storage, making it potable, getting it to users reliably -- isn't just about profit opportunities, it's about humanitarian needs as well. That's the message Damon and his organization are trying to spread.
Investors interested in both making a profit and helping improve the world's water supply may want to consider:
Xylem Inc. (XYL), where water infrastructure accounts for half of the company's revenue, was up nearly 2 percent on Tuesday to close at $27.95. It also pays a 1.5 percent dividend.
Danaher Corp (DHR) makes water instrumentation and disinfection systems. It closed up 0.5 percent pays a dividend of 0.2 percent.
Northwest Pipe Co. (NWPX), is pure water play manufacturing large-scale pipes for drinking water systems. This small cap stock has an average volume of only 34,700 shares but is in a perfect position for capitalizing on increased infrastructure expenditures.
Investing in water isn't confined to stocks. Water ETFs include:
PowerShares Global Water Portfolio (PIO), an ETF that focuses on water treatment companies, but includes stocks in emerging markets as well as the U.S.
Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index (CGW) tracks the Standard & Poor's Global Water Index.
First Trust ISE Water Index Fund (FIW) is based on an index significantly levered to potable and waste water industries.

The Killington Beast proved to be one of the most memorable Spartan battlegrounds to date. Once people got home (and the swelling went down), the emails flooded into Spartan HQ telling stories of survival on the mountain and how the obstacles and single track trail were some of the toughest our Spartan athletes have faced. However, some of the most memorable quotes were heard on the mountain by some of our very own Spartan employees. (You know we run our own races, right?)
Our take-away? Spartans are not only resilient, they are also quite FUNNY. Here's a few (that we could remember.)
1. This is the hardest race I've ever done and yet I'm still smiling. I think I need a Power Bar. That's the first sign of being delusional.
2. This is harder that child birth and I have had two kids.
3. Maybe I didn't do enough carb loading? Carbs are, like, magic… right? Ugh, now I want pizza.
4. Would you take a picture of my leg bruise? I got mine at the barbed wire pit, where'd you get yours?
5. The Spartan chicks are hot…. I wish the last one would have chicked me slightly more slowly.
6. You started at 9? I started at 10:30, why am I beating you? I bet Hobie Call is already home napping.
7. The people at work are NEVER going to believe what I did this weekend.
8. Just breathe. There's just a rope ladder to climb, another rope to traverse, a slippery wall, and a spear to throw left…oh yeah, and the three huge Spartan Gladiators with pugil sticks to get passed. (With a quarter mile to go.)
9. I don't need to be able to walk when we get done, do I? I mean, the volunteers will carry us back to our cars, right? That's part of their job, right?
10. So, what you're saying is that we are running up double black diamond slopes that are equipped with a fully functional ski lift? Okay, just checking.
11. Girl One: You think they have port-a-potties out here?
Girl Two: Just go. I did.
Girl One: Like, just now you did?
Girl Two: I think so.
12. If that dude throws me over this eight foot wall right now, I'll buy him an entire keg of beer at the after party tonight.
13. I hear music, I think that means we're close… or I'm now hearing things. Either way, it's catchy so I am going with it.
14. That's not mud, it's mushy banana. I had it in my bra but it got squashed when I did the barbed wire crawl. I'll still eat it though.
15. That was the craziest thing I've ever done… I can't wait for the next one.
Watch our Beast Recap on Spartan Race TV.
What do you most remember (or not) about your Spartan experience? Post pictures and one liners to our wall, there may be a T-shirt in it for you with your quote on it… Want to know what all the buzz is about? Get signed up for a race today and find out.

Colorado State University released its forecast for the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season Thursday.
The forecast says the season to be less active than normal as at least a moderate El Nino could develop through the summer and fall.
As a matter of fact, the Tropical Atlantic is already cooler than average.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. CSU scientists forecast nine named storms with three becoming hurricanes during that time frame.
Scientists at CSU also predict one major hurricane this season, which would be a category 3, 4 or 5 storm. The probability of one of these major hurricanes hitting the East Coast ,including the Florida Peninsula, would be around 20 percent. The probability over the past century of this event was around 31 percent.
The first names of the 2014 hurricane season are Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal and Dolly.
These names could be almost half of this season's storms if the forecast is accurate.
It's still important to have a plan in place for hurricane season as it only takes one land-falling storm to make a big impact.

Hurricane Edouard becomes the fourth named storm in the Atlantic to reach hurricane strength.

I like the look of this product from the front and it works properly. I installed the blinds on my door which leads to my patio. The view of the back of the blind from the patio is terrible. Exposed wood and screws can be seen and it just doesn't look good. I was so disappointed because they do work very well. I suppose I would suggest the Overstock website maybe post a photo of both sides of the blind in the future. I must say I have purchased from Overstock for years and have NEVER been disappointed in a product. I have always received good, high quality products. If you are new to Overstock, please don't let this review sway you not to buy from Overstock..

Alison Absorbs The Art Of Tennis
Published June 09, 2011 12:46
BIRMINGHAM, England - If Wimbledon is thought of as the home of tennis then Edgbaston, the leafy suburb of Birmingham that hosts the AEGON Classic, is the cradle of the sport. And so it is appropriate that as the tournament marks its 30th anniversary, the nearby University of Birmingham's Barber Institute has mounted the first exhibition to explore lawn tennis as a subject in art.
Court on Canvas: Tennis In Art brings together paintings, drawings, sculpture and mixed-media works inspired by the game, from the 1870s through to the 21st century. Highlights include Sir John Lavery's iconic A Rally and other works by artists as diverse as LS Lowry, EH Shepard (of Winnie the Pooh fame) and the more recent David Hockney.
With her affinity for grass courts and British 'bed and breakfast' accommodation, self-confessed Anglophile Alison Riske was keen to visit the gallery to learn more about the roots of her sport.
"I'm so glad to be playing on grass again, but I'm happy to be back in England, period," said the 20-year-old American, who as a qualifier broke through to the semis at Birmingham 12 months ago, pushing Maria Sharapova to three sets. "I just love it here - I've been waiting to come back to this tournament since the moment I left last year."
All tree-lined streets and historic villas, it's easy to see the appeal of Edgbaston, where the pioneers of the early game, Major Harry Gem and Jean Batista Augurio Perera, first experimented on the lawns of Perera's house in 1859. Later, they helped establish the first tennis clubs in the area. The sport's popularity snowballed, throughout Britain and across Europe, and then to Florida. As players became more serious, tournaments sprang up; Wimbledon held its first championship in 1877.
And, not surprisingly, the new phenomenon inspired artists. "Painters were fascinated by the scope the subject provided for depicting movement, and, particularly, women moving - tennis is credited as being the one of the first sports in which women were able to participate freely," notes exhibition curator Professor Anne Sumner. "The game's social aspect also appealed to artists… as a sport where young ladies were able to mix with young gentlemen, it provided scope for romantic scenes."
"I don't know how they moved in those long dresses, and yet they make it look almost regal," said Riske as she admired A Rally. "You can see the affluence, the elegance… but as far as competing like that, I can't imagine!"
Indeed, while Victorian and early 20th century works in oil predominate, Riske's attention was grabbed by the more modern graphical lines of Eric Ravilious' Preparatory Design on a Grand Theme for 'Sport', a watercolor design for the British Pavilion of the Paris International Exhibition of 1937.
Another must-see for tennis fans is a companion exhibition, A Gem of a Game. Here, the artefacts on show range from early tennis racquets and line chalking machines to women's tennis attire and accessories through the ages - starting with a mint-condition ankle-length Victorian dress. Nearby, Art Deco clutch bags and tennis-themed jewelry made Riske think of her idol Serena Williams, who has designed her own jewelry line.
The fascinating memorabilia also includes an original copy of the rules, as written down by Major Gem; photographic portraits of British tennis stars such as 1969 Wimbledon champion Ann Jones, who lives in Edgbaston; and the cheeky 1970s Athena Tennis Girl poster, which was in fact photographed on a tennis court at the University of Birmingham.
"Tennis is so special, so unique for its history," said Riske, who has put together another great run at the AEGON Classic, and meets Daniela Hantuchova in the quarterfinals on Friday. "It's amazing to think that something like this hasn't been done before."
Featuring loans from major collections such as Aberdeen Art Gallery, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow, the National Portrait Gallery in London and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum - as well as from many private collections - the exhibition runs until September 18. Admission is free.

Thank you.
The phrase to show courtesy. The words to convey gratitude. The lyrics of appreciation.
Two little words that when spoken can do much to uplift someone's spirits, to boost morale, and to perpetuate goodness. Two little words with such enormous power, yet often taken for granted and not spoken nearly as often as one might think.
Call me a softy, and I am, but I just love it when people throw up their hands or nod their heads to say "thank you" after I have let them cut in a lane, or let them out when they would otherwise be blocked in by a line of traffic. For me, it is only courteous driving, but when someone shows gratitude for my showing courtesy, it makes me want to show that type of courtesy even more. That's how gratitude works. It is the catalyst to perpetual goodness.
The opposite is also true, right? My mother used to say "I can't stand an ungrateful child." Hey ... not to me. Well, yeah, sometimes to me. But, what that sentiment speaks to is how ingratitude disheartens others and stifles goodness.
When you let someone through on the road, or when you are working hard to give your children a lot of what they want and everything they need, or when you are putting in the hours and going well beyond the call of duty on the job and it goes unappreciated, you are less eager to continue.
Some might argue that people should be courteous drivers and parents should take care of their children, and employees should do their jobs whether they receive a "thank you" or not.
Well, we all have obligations to our families, jobs, or organizations and we have to do what is required of us. However, I believe that when we fail to let others in our lives, professionally or personally, know that they are appreciated for what they do, we discourage hearts, stifle efforts, and drain motivation.
We are not perpetuating the goodness of others. When this happens consistently, especially in the workplace, the result is substandard or "just enough to get by" kind of efforts that do little to achieve organizational or departmental goals. These same underappreciated workers hit the roads and highways and refuse to show courtesy to a fellow driver as they make their way home to their unappreciative families. The cycle of ingratitude perpetuated.
For the rest of the week, look for opportunities to ignite a cycle of gratitude. Say "thank you" to the store clerk who checks you out, to the parent or caregiver who cooked dinner or helped with a project, to the husband who worked extra hours, to the wife who did the laundry-after work, to the teacher who answered your questions after class, to the employee who covered an extra shift, to the kid who did their homework, or cleaned their room, and yes, to the driver who lets you cut in on the road.
It may be their jobs, their responsibilities, but remember the power that just two little words can have to cause people want to do more, give more, and to be more courteous.
Thank you, and be encouraged.

Agreed, another great article. My parents taught us to respect, regardless of age. I don't see much appreciation or respect these days and it's very sad. Even just a smile in passing is nice but that seems to be too hard to do. The old saying "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" is just that, an OLD saying. Hardly ever used nowadays.

T-Mobile Merger Shakes Up Sprint, Leap
Tony is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The competitive landscape for U.S. telecoms is changing -- particularly once you look past the two top players, Verizon and AT&T (NYSE: T). Witness the recently announced merger between MetroPCS (NYSE: TMUS) and T-Mobile, which is a subsidiary of German telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom AG (NASDAQOTH: DTEGY.PK).
MetroPCS is focused on the low-cost, pre-paid part of the U.S. telecom market, while T-Mobile is currently running a poor fourth behind Verizon, AT&T and Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S). The German company will control about 75% of the combined entity, which will be listed.
This merger was made possible by MetroPCS launching a 4G network using LTE, making the two companies' technologies similar. Deutsche Telekom is spending $4 billion in building an LTE network. The lack of such a network to date is the main reason T-Mobile is falling further behind its competitors. The spectrum (the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that carries calls,etc.) of the two firms is largely complimentary, and the combination fills a hole in T-Mobile's spectrum in the northwest United States where it has poor coverage.
The combined companies will control 12% of the U.S. mobile telecom market and 29.5% of the pre-paid phone market. The proposed merger is unlikely to face the same regulatory scrutiny as the last attempted move by Deutsche Telekom to solve its U.S. "problem." In that case, it offered to sell T-Mobile to AT&T last year for $39 billion. Of course, Deutsche Telekom wasn't too upset when the regulators said no, as it pocketed a $3 billion break-up fee from AT&T.
The proposed deal probably won't keep the managements at Verizon and AT&T up at night, worrying. But it may be a different story for the managements at Sprint Nextel and Leap Wireless International (NASDAQ: LEAP).
As far as Sprint goes, the merger puts T-Mobile more on par with it. T-Mobile already has 33 million subscribers and MetroPCS has 9.3 million customers. That puts the merged company closer to Sprint Nextel's 56 million user base. In addition, the new company will have "expanded scale, spectrum and financial resources. (T-Mobile will have access to new funding) to aggressively compete with the other national U.S. wireless carriers".
That new aggressiveness is hardly good news for Sprint, which is already struggling under a $21.3 billion debt burden. It may not be able to spend as much as it would like to fend off the new T-Mobile. However, do not be shocked if Sprint launches its own counterbid for MetroPCS. Rumors of the bid already surfaced in the past few days.
Then we come to Leap Wireless, a company whose stock is down 93% from its peak in 2007. Many thought it was going to be taken over by MetroPCS, which also targets pre-paid customers. That is why Leap's stock plunged after the merger announcement with T-Mobile. A takeover seems to be the only solution for Leap Wireless, a company that has been incurring losses since 2006. And according to Bloomberg, it will keep racking up losses for at least the next several years (to 2016).
What about a possible Leap-Sprint Nextel deal? Unlikely. Leap Wireless has $3.2 billion in long-term debt on its books, and it's questionable as to whether Sprint will want to further add to its already cumbersome debt burden. But perhaps eventually the merged MetroPCS and T-Mobile will do so.
