5 Modern Punch Bowls For a Holiday Party
Product Roundup
A party just isn't a party without punch, especially around the holidays. If you don't have a punch bowl, you can find many beautiful vintage ones on Etsy or eBay, particularly if you're looking for a leaded crystal version with that signature scalloped edge and starburst design (very Mad Men!) But if you'd like a more modern and streamlined version, then one of these five bowls should do the trick:
- 1 Mikasa Cheers Punch Bowl, $119 from Macy's
- 2 Silver Banded Punch Bowl, $129.95 from Williams-Sonoma
- 3 Punch Bowl with Ladle, $49.95 from CB2
- 4 Artland Simplicity 8" 8 Piece Optic Punch Bowl Set, $52 from World Market
- 5 Lenox Serveware Tuscany 8 Piece Punch Bowl Set, $79 from Macy's

I like the main one very much but I steer clear of punch, learned the hard way.

The event supports the sharing of cultural traditions, customs, and experiences through music, dance, food, art, and educational displays.
About the Festival of Nations
The Festival of Nations has been a campus tradition at the University of Denver for three decades.

The Festival of Nations is a student-led event.
The Festival of Nations, sponsored by the Festival of Nations Planning Board at the University of Denver, is an event intended to support the sharing, celebration, and appreciation of diverse cultural backgrounds, customs, and experiences among members of the University of Denver and surrounding Denver community. The event seeks to support the internationalization of the University and to foster inclusivity, a climate of respect and appreciation of differences, and to encourage cultural learning and exchange.

Through 163 NHL games played, Porter has notched 45 points and 48 PIM. The Northville, Mich. native was the recipient of the 2007-08 Hobey Baker award while playing at the University of Michigan.

Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak
Friendly ghouls and ghosts keep your little ones on their toes this Halloween season during the weekends of Oct. 11-13, 18-20 and 25-27, 2013
Be sure to wear a costume to this year's Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo! This half-mile walk is designed to allow your wee one to trick-or-treat without worry. There's definitely no need to fear: This Royal Oak event is "merry-not-scary" fun for the whole family.
In 2013, the big boo event happens Oct. 11-13, 18-20 and 25-27 – rain or shine. Time slots are 6-8 p.m. Fridays and 5-8 p.m. on the weekends. As always, organizers recommend you buy your tickets early; while some will be offered at the door, supplies are very limited, due the popularity of this event.
After your kids stroll and gather goodies, there's plenty more fun in store. Children can jam out to live entertainment during the Zoo Boo Revue and play some Ghouly Games at a tent sponsored by Blue Care Network. The Reptile House and Zombie Zone are other can't-miss spots to play games and participate in cool activities.
Younger children will get a kick out of the carousel, and the Arctic Cafe is open for your family to get your grub on. The Wild Adventure Zone shows The Wizard of Oz, while the Simulator Ride features Happy Feet: Mumble's Wild Ride (note that these features are an extra $5 a person – or $7 if you choose to do both).
Advance tickets are $8 per person, while children under 2 get in free. (There will be very-limited supplies of tickets at the gate after 5 p.m. for $11 – again, though, note that advance registration is highly recommended!). Parking at the zoo is $5.

For Immediate Release:Democratic Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622Louisville – It is a chance to get a firsthand look at just how difficult or easy it is to walk around the Cane Run Road area. What is needed to make the area easy and accessible to the people who live and work there?
This Saturday, a "Walkability WALK shop" will get underway to make those assessments.
"WALKshops are an excellent tool to help strengthen neighborhoods," says Councilwoman Attica Scott (D-1). "Walkable neighborhoods are healthy and safe neighborhoods that help people to build relationships with one another and to pay closer attention to their surroundings."
Cane Run Road Area "Walkability WALKshop" is Saturday, May 18th, at Highland Missionary Baptist Church, 3700 Shanks Lane from 10:00am to 1:00pm. The Walk is planned for Cane Run Road between Lees Lane and Crums Lane.
Participants will review a Walkability Checklist which includes:
· Sidewalk problems: Cracks, missing segments, rough pavement, street closings, curb ramps, pedestrian signals
· Barriers: Telephone poles, ditches, parked cars, vegetation and other obstacles
· Amenities: Benches, shade trees, well-maintained and planted streetscapes
· Safety Issues: Adequate lighting, fast moving traffic, empty or vacant properties and any additional concerns
"I look forward to getting out and walking with folks in the southwest in partnership with the Center for Neighborhoods, Cane Run Area Business Association and the Mayor's Healthy Hometown movement," says Scott.
The Cane Run Road area WALKshop is hosted by Councilwoman Scott, the Center For Neighborhoods, the Cane Run Area Business Association and the Mayor's Healthy Hometown Movement.Sponsor:Attica Scott (D) 1

It took a day, but the Phillies got the spark they were looking for from Jimmy Rollins. If J-Roll's first eight at-bats after returning from the DL didn't wow a whole lot of folks his ninth sure did. With the Phils down a run in the ninth, Rollins hammered a 1-1 offering from Kerry Wood out to right for a two-run homer that took Phils from down 6-5 to 7-6 winners.
Rollins wasn't the only Phillie who hit last night. Jayson Werth, in a miserable slump, went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk and a home run. Brian Schneider hit his first long ball of the year to tie the game in the seventh and delivered a key walk to start the ninth-inning rally.
The Phils have won five of their last seven games and are 37-32 on the year after a 7-6 win over Cleveland last night. The Phils are in third place in the NL East and trail the Braves by three games.
Kendrick got the start for the Phillies and went four innings, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks. Only four of the runs were earned. Five of the hits went for extra-bases, three doubles and two home runs. He struck out one.
Trevor Crowe led off the game with a double to right. Shin-Soo Choo was next and he hit an 0-2 pitch out to right, putting Cleveland up 2-0. Carlos Santana followed with a walk, but Kendrick got the next three.
The lefty Choo gets Kendrick, who was blasted by lefties early in the season but had been getting a lot better recently.
Kendrick set Cleveland down in order in the second with the lead cut to 2-1.
It was 2-2 when he started the third. Crowe led off with another double and moved to third on a fly ball to center from Choo. Santana hit a fly ball to center deep enough for Crowe to tag and score (3-2) before Kendrick got Austin Kearns to line to Utley to end the frame.
Russell Branyan started the fourth with an infield single. Jhonny Peralta flew to left for the first out before a Luis Valbuena ground out moved Branyan to second. Kendrick walked righty Jason Donald intentionally to get to the pitcher Jake Westbrook with two out and men on first and second. Kendrick struck him out looking to end the inning.
Really not a fan of walking the eight hitter to get to the pitcher. Especially righty on righty. Jason Donald came into the game on-basing .210 against right-handed pitching. Get him out and let the pitcher lead off the fifth.
The Phils were up 4-3 when Kendrick started the fifth. Crowe led off and hit a ball to Utley that Utley didn't handle for an error. Choo followed that with his second home run of the game, putting Cleveland back on top at 5-4. Santana was next and he doubled. That was all for Kendrick. Herndon came in to pitch to the righty Kearns and got him on a ground ball to third with Santana holding second. Herndon struck Branyan out swinging for the second out. Peralta followed that with a single to left, but Ibanez made a nice throw home and Schneider applied the tag to get Santana and set Cleveland down.
Valbuena started the sixth with a double to right and Donald bunted him to third. Lefty Travis Hafner hit for the pitcher Westbrook and Mike Zagurski came in to pitch to him. Zagurski got Hafner on a ground ball to third with Valbuena holding for the second out and struck out Crowe to end the inning.
Great start to the year for Zagurski.
He walked Choo to start the seventh, but Schneider threw Choo out stealing for the first out. Choo was safe, but whatever. Zagurski got Santana on a fly ball to center before Baez came in to pitch to the righty Kearns and got him on a ground ball to second to end the frame.
Durbin pitched the eighth with the score tied at 5-5. Branyan led off with a single, but Durbin got the next three behind him.
Durbin was back to start the ninth. Anderson Hernandez bunted for a single to start the inning and Durbin hurt his right hamstring going after the ball. He's since hit the DL with Figeuroa called back up. Romero came in to pitch to the switch-hitter Crowe and Crowe singled softly to right, sending Hernandez to third. Choo was next and hit a ball back to Romero. Romero went to third and Polanco threw home where Schneider tagged out Hernandez for the first out. Crowe wound up at third and Choo at second. Santana was next and hit a ball hard to Rollins. Rollins fielded, but threw home wildly for an error as Crowe scored to put Cleveland up 6-5. Romero walked the righty Kearns intentionally to load the bases for Branyan, but Branyan lined into a double-play with Utley catching and throwing to first to double-off Kearns and end the frame.
Herndon and Zagurski each threw 16 pitches in the game. Durbin 15, Romero 14 and Baez five. Romero was pitching for the second straight day.
The Phillies lineup against righty Jake Westbrook went (1) Rollins (2) Polanco (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Werth (6) Ibanez (7) Victorino (8) Schneider. Schneider catches with Ruiz on the DL. Victorino continues to hit seventh.
Polanco and Utley singled back-to-back with one out in the first and the Phils down 2-0. It put men on first and third for Howard, but Howard hit into a double-play with Polanco scoring before it was over to cut the lead to 2-1.
Werth started the second with a home run to right that tied the game at 2-2. Victorino singled with one out, but was caught stealing before Schneider flew to center to end the inning.
The Phils went in order in the third with the Indians up 3-2.
Howard singled with one out in the fourth and moved to third when Werth followed with a double. Ibanez was next and he doubled into right, scoring both runners and putting the Phils on top at 4-3. Ibanez went to third on a wild pitch before Victorino lined to short for the second out. Schneider was walked intentionally to put men on first and third for Kendrick. Kendrick grounded to third to leave both men stranded.
The Phils went in order in the fifth with Cleveland up 5-4.
Howard and Werth singled back-to-back to start the sixth. It put men on first and second for Ibanez and Ibanez hit into a double-play. Victorino followed with a walk that put men on first and third for Schneider. The Cleveland pitcher Tony Sipp threw to first and Victorino was caught between first and second. A flurry of throws followed and Howard moved for home. The first baseman Branyan threw home and Howard was tagged out to end the inning.
The Phils were still down 5-4 when they hit in the seventh. Schneider led off with a home run, his first of the year, tying the game at 5-5. The Phils went in order after that. With righty Frank Hermann on the mound for Cleveland, Gload hit for Baez and flew to center for the first out.
Utley walked to start the eighth with the score still tied. Howard was next and hit a ground ball that Branyan fielded at first. He threw to second to force Utley for the first out. Werth followed with a walk that put men on first and second. Ibanez hit a ground ball to first and Werth was forced at second for the second out. With men on first and third, Victorino flew to left to end the inning.
The Phils were down 6-5 when the hit in the ninth against righty Kerry Wood. Schneider led off with a walk and Valdez ran for him at first. Francisco hit for Romero and hit a ground ball to short for the first out that moved Valdez to second. It brought Rollins to the plate and J-Roll lined a 1-1 pitch out to right to give the Phils a 7-6 win.
Rollins was 1-for-5 with a big two-run homer.
Polanco 1-for-4.
Utley 1-for-3 with a walk.
Howard 2-for-4 with two singles.
Werth was 3-for-3 with a double, a home run and a walk. He's still on base to hit 59 doubles for the year.
Ibanez 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI.
Victorino 1-for-3 with a walk.
Schneider was 1-for-2 with his first home run of the year and two walks. He played a big role offensively in the game for the Phils, tying the game with the homer in the seventh and starting the ninth with a walk.
Blanton (2-5, 6.96) faces righty Fausto Carmona (6-5, 3.31) this afternoon. Carmona has allowed more than three earned runs in just two of 14 starts this season. Blanton has been terrible, but held the Twins to three runs over six innings his last time out.

The first full week without USDA reports is now behind us. Their void has left the grain markets in flux. "The absence of the crop report today really leaves things open to the hedgers to move the market around," says Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group.
Overall, corn and soybean prices are headed south. "We posted new lows again in corn," Gulke says. "Even despite the fact that we have some rain in the forecast that could delay harvest."
November 2013 soybeans closed more than 20 cents lower on Friday.
Hear Gulke's full audio analysis:
Gulke finished up combining soybeans on his Illinois farm this week and had made a large dent in his corn acres. He was pleasantly surprised by his yields. The cool summer really helped us, he says. "We underestimated our corn yields by 20 bu. per acre."
Overall, Gulke believes many farmers and traders misjudged the size of the 2013 crops. "It is not a bad crop," he says. "For corn, there were yield expectations as low as 150 bu./acre, they are probably off by 10 bushels."
EPA also provided some downside potential to the corn markets this week. According to Bloomberg, EPA is considering a cut in the mandate on the use of corn-based ethanol in 2014. The agency would call for the use of 13 billion gallons, down from 13.8 billion gallons this year.
"This report is not formalized," Gulke says. "But, EPA theoretically dug a hole for us. The time they should have cut the EPA mandate for corn was when corn was $8 per bushel, not $4.50."
Gulke says this change wouldn't take effect until 2014. "The crop we are going to grow next year will be looking at less demand for ethanol, but hopefully more demand for animal feed and exports."
"When you start getting bad news for prices, it just keeps going on and on," Gulke says. "If we ever get a crop report out here, probably a November report, it will probably but the final nail in the coffin."
Gulke says USDA may have to increase the national corn yield, not just 2 or 3 bu./acre, but maybe 5 or 6 bu./acre.
All of this negative news is not fun to digest, but Gulke says it's not really unexpected. "I haven't been optimistic for a while," he says. "This is a change in agriculture's situation that really started about a year ago, maybe even two years ago. We just got prices too high and curbed demand, so now maybe we have to spend some time at the low end and start looking at the input end of our balance sheets."

Big news, if you haven't been stuck to your screen for the last hour—on April 4, Google CEO Eric Schmidt will step down and pass the buck to co-founder Larry Page. He's not completely out—he'll be taking over as executive chairman.
Page joined Schmidt on the earnings call to clarify their new roles. Schmidt explained that he'll now be dealing with more strategic and external issues, and focusing less on internal operations: customers, partners, government communication, etc. Page will now be in charge of day-to-day operations at Google, and told investors that he's studied closely under Schmidt for the last ten years.
Check out our coverage to get all of the best quotes and Schmidt's full statement regarding the change.

Library Link
By Debby Farmer
The library is no longer merely a repository and lender of books. Neither does it solely deal with the circulation of more recent technological items like DVDs, CD-ROMs and audio books. While it provides the community with scores of magazines, newspapers, and highly valued databases, its scope encompasses much more.
Enter the internet, and with it, a multitude of application uses. The internet has virtually opened a world of references in fulfilling informational needs. It has enabled people to communicate with others in even the remotest areas of the earth.
As the demand for internet availability escalates, the Blaine Library is doing all it can to keep up, given space and resource restrictions. Nevertheless, with some creative reconfiguration, the library will be installing two additional public internet computers to supplement the four existing stations. These additions should help reduce the waiting lists for this highly sought after community commodity.
In the meantime, more and more people continue to be directed to their local library for internet access. Recently, Whatcom County Auditor Shirley Forslof, reminded voters that they could access the 2007 voters' pamphlets online at their public libraries.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to pick up downloadable tax forms from the librarian or print their own from the public access computers. Immigrants and other legal alien residents are directed by federal government agencies to obtain necessary forms via the internet at their local library.
There has been some relief
however, to the internet access demand with the arrival
of high-speed wireless connection availability at the library.
As the word has spread, laptop users are occupying more
of already shrinking seating areas. Thus the decision was
made to convert the library's
large meeting room into what will ultimately resemble an
internet café.
Blaine Friend of the Library, Clare Nurre, is already keeping the newly expanded book sale shelves in the meeting room full, with a great selection of titles at bargain prices. Her fellow Friends are currently exploring options for providing a simple coffee service to enhance the café experience. Businesses interested in partnering with the Friends in this venture are asked to contact the library at 332-4126 for further information.
Summer Reading Club is winding down, with final title log sheets being redeemed for prizes and prize drawing entries. Area children alone have read 3500 books so far, and with teens and adults adding their titles, the number is approaching 5000!
Finally, mark your calendars for September 12th, when Harry Potter Fever breaks out at the Blaine Library! All ages are invited to a prize studded trivia contest at 3:30pm. Teens can then participate in a Book 7 Teen Chat at 4:00pm. Sign up soon to reserve your space!

Maharashtra Public Service Commission Recruitments
The Constitution of India under Article 315 established the Maharashtra Public Service Commission. This is a constitutional body and has been established to aid in the effective and efficient functioning of the Government by recruiting suitable candidates for the numerous governmental positions and providing advice to the government on certain issues like formulating rules for recruitment, training, promotions, transfers, disciplinary action etc. MPSC jobs 2012 is the recruitment drive of the commission for ensuring that the right candidates are chosen for the various jobs available with the commission.
The role of Maharashtra Public Service Commission also extends to conducting examinations for appointment into the service of the Government of Maharashtra. It deals in recommending inter and intra departmental transfers, promotions and at times, also dismissal. Along with this, the commission also advises Mumbai Electric Supply and Transport Company on appointments, promotions and transfers.
Latest MPSC Jobs
The Latest MPSC Jobs are advertised heavily in the various media along with the Internet. Under the banner of MPSC Careers, the commission releases comprehensive details of the various vacancies that exist within its framework. These vacancies could be for engineering positions, social sector, health sector, education, public administration, administrative positions etc. Another important area where the commission comes into the picture is resolving of legal issues relating to appointments, termination of service, promotions and transfers etc. Hence there is a certain percentage of recruitment, which is reserved for legal professionals under the banner of MPSC careers.
MPSC Recruitment 2012 process
The commission has become net savvy and keeps updating the MPSC jobs eligibility criteria from time to time on the Internet as well as on newspapers. The MPSC recruitment application form is available online which the interested candidates have to fill and submit. A nominal amount of application fee is also payable by the applying candidates. Candidates can also apply online to MPSC for job postings. All the selection criteria such as the relevant MPSC jobs eligibility criteria, relevant work experience and references are specified in the application form. The recruitment process continues with a competitive examination which judges the candidates on knowledge of the subject, skill level, knowledge of current affairs, analytical and reasoning skills and many more criteria. The syllabus is modified periodically which is continuously updated on the Internet and other publications from time to time. The past question papers are compiled and published for the convenience of the aspiring candidates. The applicants are always kept updated about the various schedules on the Internet and through other media channels. While going from one stage to the next, the commission publishes the selection list as well as the rejected list with the concerned reasons for rejection.
Those candidates who succeed in the written examination are called for the next stage of filtering. An expert panel conducts the personal interviews along with human resources professionals. The interviews are so designed as to gauge the attitude and aptitude of the person, ability to keep calm during a crisis situation, ability to get along with people, team working skills, knowledge of the subject, knowledge about current and world affairs, lateral or out-of-the-box thinking and many more.
The candidates who emerge out of the interview round successful are then sent for a physical fitness test. This is a compulsory part of the MPSC recruitment 2012 process of this commission. The physical fitness test has to be necessarily conducted by those doctors and medical centers, which have got the empanelment with the commission.
Once the candidates are tested physically fit, all the concerned MPSC jobs eligibility criteria are met and the candidates are ready and raring to go, the commission offers the successful candidates the government offer letter for employment. For more information on MPSC jobs 2012 please visit the official site.

Central Cross Country Ski Association (CXC) is pleased to welcome Jason Cork as Elite Coach for CXC Team Vertical Limit. This position was vacated by Bryan Fish in May as he was asked to join the US Ski Team as a Continental Cup Coach.
Fish has been with CXC from the formation of the Elite Team in 2006, and saw two athletes compete at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games as well as see six athletes start World Cups in 2010. Yuriy Gusev, CXC Executive and Athletic Director said, "It is very difficult to find a replacement for a coach like Bryan Fish. I'm excited for Bryan and respect his decision. We had a good list of strong candidates to fill position of the CXC Team Vertical Limit Elite Coach and we are excited that Jason Cork chooses to be part of our organization and lead our CXC Team Vertical Limit.â€
Matt Whitcomb, U.S. Ski Team World Cup Coach, said that he's "very happy with our recent hiring of Bryan Fish to the U.S. Ski Team coaching staff. We have worked with Bryan closely over the past four years at summer camps and on both domestic and international race trips. We feel he will mesh well with our athletes and staff.†Whitcomb was quick to realize the void that Fish will leave in CXC, and followed up by saying that, "while Bryan will be missed at CXC, I'm happy to learn that Jason Cork will man the helm for the CXC Team Vertical Limit. Jason will bring great energy, a huge work ethic, and strong mix of experience from the Durango Nordic Ski Club, MTU, and as a member of recent J1 and World Junior coaching staffs. CXC had grown to become a very successful organization and I envision a smooth transition from Bryan to Jason." Fish will continue to have a role with CXC as he will be consulted throughout the year as the High Performance Advisor – a role that will fit well with his responsibilities with the U.S. Ski Team.
As Whitcomb mentioned, Cork has a wealth of experience to draw from in his new position. Most recently Cork has been the Assistant Coach for the Michigan Technological University Cross Country, Nordic Ski, and Track and Field Teams. Before moving to Michigan Tech, Cork was the Head Coach of Durango Nordic Ski Club in Durango, CO. While in Durango, Cork spent time coaching Tad Elliott. Elliott's recent accolades include: 2010 50km National Champion, 2010 U23 World Championships Team member and second place finisher of 2010 American Birkebeiner.
Last season Elliott joined CXC Team Vertical Limit for the first season. When asked how he felt about the naming of his former coach as the Elite Coach of CXC Elliott responded, "Jason Cork is incredibly smart person and coach. He is amazingly easy to work with and I know that the plan we come up with together every season is going to be dialed.†Eillott went on to say, "Cork is a great guy and in the sport for all the right reasons. He's not in it to build himself up, but wants to help the sport grow and develop athletes. It is great to have him in skiing, and now in a role that will let him work with some very talented individuals.â€
Cork says that he's excited for this opportunity to work with CXC Team Vertical Limit in the coming years. When asked for specifics, Cork said, "It will be great to work with this team as a part of the Central Cross Country Ski Association. The team and athletes have a history of strong race results, and I'm looking forward getting to know them and helping them accomplish even more. I'm very excited to getting rolling on the 2010-11 race season.†Cork's enthusiasm is a good thing, considering the training season has already gotten underway, and the team is scheduled to convene on June 7th for their second training camp of the year.
Cork will be working with CXC Team Vertical Limit's new coach, Gus Keading. Keading will assume the role of Elite Development Coach with CXC Team Vertical Limit. Along with Keading, who moved to coaching from being an athlete with CXC Team Vertical Limit, Fish will be around to ease the transition for Cork. Fish's new position with the U.S. Ski Team will allow him to work with CXC for three months.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Wisconsin's largest city reduced its overtime costs for public employees by almost 30 percent last year.
The Journal Sentinel said the state's Act 10 public union bargaining limits helped the city of Milwaukee rewrite some of its compensation ordinances to cut down on overtime and other expenses.
The Public Works Department had the city's largest reduction in OT, a drop of 65 percent last year to $2.2 million.
Officials cited better planning and budgeting – plus drier than normal weather last year that resulted in fewer water main breaks.
Milwaukee Police still have the largest overtime expenses in the city, around $14 million last year. That was down by $2.5 million from 2011.
Police Chief Ed Flynn said he has taken a number of steps to reduce overtime – including a reduction of officers who appear in court, and an overlap of shifts to reduce the need for extra time to brief officers to ongoing matters at the start of their workdays.

|Regional Mortgage Briefs
Regional Mortgage Briefs is an online resource designed to provide up-to-date and accessible analytics on critical mortgage and foreclosure concerns impacting our region. This information will help policymakers and housing professionals make informed decisions and efficiently allocate resources.
|Eleven percent of the mortgages in Long Island are seriously delinquent. In some neighborhoods, percentages are more than twice the Long Island rate. Year-over-year changes in house values continue to fluctuate within a narrow range around zero. Encouragingly, the flow of mortgages entering foreclosure and delinquency has, overall, been slowing but remains elevated relative to pre-crisis levels. This series of charts and maps highlights the severity and direction of mortgage distress in Long Island communities.

Data include first-lien mortgages on 1-4 unit residential properties as of March 1, 2011. To approximate the full universe of residential mortgages, data are aggregated from two sources depending on mortgage type. The source of privately securitized mortgage data is CoreLogic LoanPerformance (LP); the source of data on all other mortgages is Lender Processing Services Mortgage Performance data (LPS).
These data do not represent the total number of residential mortgages in each geography but the unadjusted loan counts from the source databases. As of 3/1/2011, the data sets provided monthly loan-level information on approximately 34.9 million active loans in the United States, estimated at 65 percent of the total number of mortgages. However, coverage varies by category and geography.
The House Price Indexes at the county and zip code level are from CoreLogic LoanPerformance (LP). To mitigate small-sample concerns, we use a three-month moving average of the HPI that includes all sales in the zip code, including distressed sales.
Housing Unit data are owner-occupied data from the Census American Community Survey, 2005-2009 estimates.

Drinking and carrying
On the TV series "Alaska State Troopers," a young man with a concealed pistol was arrested and charged with misconduct involving weapons in the fourth degree.
When the Trooper handcuffed this man, he seemed surprised. So was I. After all, it's legal to carry a concealed weapon in Alaska. You don't need a permit. But having a concealed weapon wasn't this guy's problem. His problem was having a weapon and being drunk.

Three Dividend Stocks That Will Fetch High Yields
Cecil is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dividend growth stocks are an excellent way of increasing the return from your original investment. I generally tend to hold on to these stocks for a while. A stock with an ever-increasing dividend yield will pay out higher returns on the original amount thanks to the power of compounding. So let's take a look at three of these companies whose shares might be able to fetch high yields in the near future; or in other words, whose dividend growth rate has been fairly good.
Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) is a pioneer in the pharmaceuticals division and has grown to be the one of the largest biotechnology companies in the world. Amgen launched some of the biotech industry's first blockbuster medicines, including two of the most successful drugs in history -- Epogen, for treating anemia, and Neupogen, which helps cancer patients receiving chemotherapy avoid infections. Amgen paid $0.26 a share for every quarter of 2011 as a dividend, and increased that to pay $0.38 a share every quarter of 2012.
In March 2012, the FDA approved an alternative to Epogen. The new drug, Omontys, was developed by a small company called Affymax in partnership with a Japanese company named Takeda. Omontys has an advantage in the sense that it needs to be consumed once a month, as opposed to several times a week in the case of Epogen. Mercera is another drug that has entered the market recently and has been doing well in Europe. Foreseeing this, the management at Amgen moved quickly to secure two large deals. Before Omontys was approved, Amgen made sure to lock Affymax out of the market as best it could by signing contracts with the two biggest dialysis chains in the U.S. These two chains together treat around two-thirds of the nation's roughly 400,000 dialysis patients.
The numbers for Amgen look good too. Based on the product pipeline, analysts forecast earnings of 10% in each of the next five years, which is far better than the 6% of the previous 5 years. The company has a fairly staggering profit margin of 34% and has a cash stockpile exceeding $19 billion. The company isn't debt free, but debt is at fairly manageable levels at 50% of capitalization. Amgen clearly noted in its 2011 policy statement, "We expect to grow the dividend meaningfully over time. Through 2015, we expect to return on average, around 60% of net income to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases."
CISCO (NASDAQ: CSCO) is a stock that's getting clobbered nowadays. Cisco, best known for its switches and other networking devices, has a 65% worldwide market share in Ethernet switches that crushes the next largest competitor -- Hewlett Packard, which has an 8% market share. Government spending isn't expected to increase and the numbers from corporations don't look great either, so that means that the company isn't expected to do well in the short-term.
But the experts seem to like the stock. Out of 26 current analysts, there are zero "underperforms,"18 "outperforms" or "buys", and 8 "neutrals" or "holds." So this may be a good stock to get into, considering that the share price is taking a nice haircut. Cisco has an attractive 22% operating margin, $49 billion in cash, and only $16 billion in debt. The company began paying dividends in March 2011 at an annual rate of $0.24 per share, and doubled the dividend in 18 months to a current rate of $0.56 per share. Even at the higher rate, payout is conservative at 37% of 12 months EPS.
Wellpoint (NYSE: WLP) provides healthcare coverage to 34 million patients in 14 states and is the second-largest U.S. health insurer, behind United Healthcare. 2013 will be an important year for the company as it tries to reposition itself to be prepared for a fairly different healthcare environment. The company plans to make significant investments in areas that include exchanges, Medicare, duals, as well as other initiatives. In addition, the company is planning on expanding its offering in Medicaid through its acquisition of Amerigroup.
Moving forward in a world of Obamacare, it is likely that WellPoint will see long-term gains in enrollment, offset by a decline in profit margin. Analysts expect the company to grow its revenues by 10% in the next 5 years. The company's June quarter balance sheet showed cash totaling $20.3 billion, or $62 a share, exceeding debt of only $11.9 billion. It seems like a fairly good time to buy shares in a company with traditionally high profitability levels.

In addition, he is charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Crejonnia "CJ" Bell. Police say in November 2012, Gibson shot Bell four times in the head and chest outside of her home on Weber Street. Bell was rushed to the hospital, where she later died.
Gibson also faces charges for gang activity.
In court, Gibson's trial was rescheduled for June 10.

Miraculous. I passed my PMS week unharmed, and not harming anyone. No cocaine cookies needed. Nothing but restoring my blog and creating Looklet outfits. Some tiredness of teaching that lasted on Saturday. That was it. No other thing occurred.
I might have just discovered the perfect antidote to my menstrual mayhem. And that is... a mystery.
Submitting my new blog to ninety-five Internet directories and ping services (with stupid back links entailed) required one whole damn day, yesterday. Perpetually dull. Too repetitive. But I have this curiosity on how the process of promoting a website evolves. I did it once in 2010 for my first blog, and it took around one and a half year of continual shameless advertisement in countless other sites to scoop five thousand visits a month from 4,500 unique monthly visitors. Small. So, now I will try something more systematic to see the result.
Teaching is bad for my writing, as what I have experienced before. It disturbs the fluidness of mood. I don't even know why I still teach when I have enough money without taking more jobs. A part is to maintain a good professional reputation with the school I've been working with for almost six years. Another is to source stories. Seriously. The building where I teach is rumored to host many ghosts. Tame, but still scary. Neat, huh?
Like today, I switched to watching Glee again while typing this. Indulging my impulses for no reason. Cause I wanted to. When I was supposed to be writing and writing and absorb myself in unstoppable neurotic writing. The pledge of three-posts-a-day still applies. Disciplining myself may be rather challenging when I must do other chores like blog publicity and teaching and diverging to viewing Glee. But Kurt Hummel is too cute to ignore!
Just look at his innocently surprised face. So dreamy it makes me want to hug him forever and keep him as a pet.

October 7: A person was stopped for a traffic violation. During the stop, an officer smelled what he recognized as the odor of marijuana. A subsequent investigation revealed that the driver was in possession of a moderate amount of marijuana and associated paraphernalia. The driver was arrested and released with a criminal citation after processing.

October 5: A Blaine resident received a voicemail from Jimmy, who said he was just getting out of jail and planned to come visit. The resident was a little worried because he didn't know anyone named Jimmy, and definitely didn't want to be visited by anyone just being released from custody. He asked for extra patrol in his neighborhood.
October 5: A lady cornered two kids on D Street after catching them with her son's stolen bicycle. Arriving police officers confirmed that the bike did not belong to the youths. Unfortunately, it did not belong to the eagle-eyed mom either. The youths admitted that they had found the look-alike bike in a ditch along Mitchell Street. They received a warning about taking the long way to the police station to turn in the found property. The correct owner later contacted police and recovered her son's stolen bike.

Officers located the suspect on A Street in Blaine and arrested him based on Bellingham's probable cause. The arrestee was transported to the jail and Bellingham police took custody of him.
October 3: Officers responded to a report of a collision of a vehicle and a child in a cross walk in front of the Blaine primary school on Boblett Street. Officers arrived and contacted the victim, driver and witnesses. It appeared that a 7-year-old boy had darted away from his older sister in to the street and ran into the side of a passing car. He was not visibly injured but North Whatcom Fire transported him to the hospital for evaluation. The case is pending.
October 2: The wife of a man who was heading to Blaine after saying that he wanted to commit suicide contacted officers. Officers located and spoke with the husband. He was considering hurting himself and agreed to go voluntarily to the hospital for evaluation. Police transported him to St. Joseph's hospital.
October 2: Officers responded to an afternoon report of a truck horn honking in a residential area on Eighth Street. They found a truck driver was trying to get the attention of construction workers at customs so they would open the gate for him. The truck driver was delivering construction equipment. He received a warning for improper use of his horn.
October 2: The Blaine primary school called to request a welfare check on a child who has not been attending school. Officers contacted the student and parent. The parent will be contacting the school to explain the absence.
October 2: Business employees observed a man dumping garbage out of his car into their parking lot on H Street. When they asked him to clean up his mess he instead drove away. Police contacted the 49-year-old suspect at his home, where he admitted to the offense. He is being cited by summons for littering.

Unfortunately she discovered the check had been stolen and was assigned to a closed account. Officers have identified the suspect and are investigating.

The F9000 series includes 55-inch and 65-inch 4K (UHD)-resolution televisions, selling for $5,500 and $7,500 respectively.
Samsung's 55- and 65-inch F9000 TVs will set you back £4,000 and £6,000 respectively, appearing in rich people's homes later this month.
Despite excellent all-around picture quality, the Samsung UNF9000 4K TV offers almost no improvement over cheaper 1080p TVs that cost much less.
Samsung's ultra high-def tellies have just become slightly more affordable. Slightly.
Samsung has a bunch of 4K TVs at CES 2014, and most of them include curvature, wacky easel stands, and/or sizes and prices far beyond the grasp of mortal man. The UNHU8500 series is the mainstream antidote, and it has our favorite picture-enhancing LED LCD feature.
Pricing not available
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
The BBC and Sky are teaming up to promote 4K ultra high definition television with a 'UHD ready' sticker.
Moving beyond mere curved OLED TVs, Samsung throws a curve into its 2014 LED-based models too. The high-end HU9000 series is the company's best curvy 4K TV announced at CES.
Currys and PC World are selling eye-melting Samsung 4K ultra high definition televisions from tomorrow.

I finally got myself a digital camera and a Irish woolen shawl that I've been wanting forever. So combine the two together and this is what you get.
I blew a wad of cash but man, it's nice to be able to take pictures of whatever I want or need just like that. The shawl's also perfect for this windy cold weather - didn't feel the chill at all today.

I have seen Moon King play three times now and after each time, quickly searched around the internet hoping to relive their unsettling harmonies and exciting drum lines through a recording. Finally that's happened for me - this is "Only Child" from their upcoming EP. Sounds exactly like I remember it live!
This has been on my mind since it went live this morning: FFWD in Calgary made the bold claim that Canadian music is boring, and is placing the blame on CanCon regulations, the tendency to celebrate familiar collective-based music and music journalists being far too polite. Especially the last is something that I publicly struggled with about a month ago, but the general thesis of the article is something that has been in the back of my mind for a while now. While I find myself disagreeing with a lot of this article, it's providing me with some clever counter arguments to everything I thought I believed about music and music criticism, and it's certainly a discussion worth having.
Obviously I don't think that all Canadian music is boring (and the authors of this article certainly don't either) – there is a wide variety of boundary-pushing, exciting stuff, and some of the most celebrated and innovative acts today are coming out of our country (the article itself mentions Purity Ring and Yamantaka // Sonic Titan as two of these such acts, and there is definitely a much longer list of more). But you can't argue with the fact that there is a general "Canadian indie" sound, and it is supported and propped up by institutions like the Polaris and the CBC. I'm trying to be cautious here – I believe that both are important in terms of supporting our country's arts scene, and I recognize that obviously neither can be a perfect representation of good music for every person. Yet it is important to acknowledge that there is an "internal star system" created by these institutions (no matter what the question on a CBC 3 poll, if artists like Joel Plaskett, Dan Mangan or Arcade Fire are present, they will always shoot to the top of the list, and artists like Patrick Watson, Feist or even Fucked Up seem to be Polaris-nominated, no matter what they put out. The Polaris actually acknowledged this though, at a Polaris salon last month).
A lot of the discussion around this article is focussing on the small paragraph comparing popular Canadian bands. Zooming in on this is defeating the purpose of the article, though – they are being sensationalistic in comparing bands based on name and not sound, no one really thinks that Hey Ocean and Hey Rosetta are sonically identical. Forget that paragraph and look at the whole theme of the article – we are running the risk of stagnating by highlighting the same types of sounds. Personal confession: after years of patronage, I have stopped listening to CBC Radio 3 as a way to discover new music. I still love the site as a strong music-based community, and they certainly have some music in rotation that I love to death, but I find that wading through the hours of singer-songwriter or straight-forward plodding rock is not doing enough for me to make getting to the gems worth it (especially since I can often discover them through other venues). Surely this has a lot to do with my taste evolving and I've chalked it up to that for a long time, but this article hit a bit of a chord with me, in that I'm perhaps not the only one a bit bored with Canadian indie's status quo.
Where this article challenges me the most, though, is when they turn to talking about music critics. The point is that if "everything is good, everything basically sucks". As someone who unabashedly believes in positive music journalism, this is a bit hard to swallow, but I can definitely see where they are coming from. I can definitely get on board with the idea that praising every single album you come across is damaging to the quality of music in general. Why I can't fully agree though, is that there is no reason to cover mediocre bands at all. The example in the article is Metric, a band who I am admittedly only mildly interested in. The complaint is that everyone is covering them, but no one is stepping up to criticise. But wouldn't it be more valuable for a publication to feature a band that was creating something amazing instead? The way I see it, every column spent discussing why something is bad could instead be spent sharing something great, and that is a much better use of time for everyone involved. Everyone knows who Metric is and probably has an opinion on them already, but maybe they haven't heard of Sexy Merlin, and might never do so if a publication doesn't share what they love.
This is an important discussion to have, and I am glad that someone has so publicly started it. Hopefully Canadian music fans can read past the insults to their music taste (I admit that I love Joel Plaskett, perhaps just as much as the FFWD-approved Sean Nicholas Savage) and see the very thought-provoking insights and questions presented here. We don't all have to agree, but it is worth talking about.
My music listening patterns are often really based on repetition. Once I find an album/artist that clicks with me, I gobble it up and listen to it many, many times. This weekend I've been curling up with Sean Nicholas Savage's discography. There's a lot of it, and it's all wonderfully strange. Go for it.
Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? There are definitely a lot of concerts and musical events happening in Toronto over the summer - so much so that I find myself with four concerts I want to go to tonight. How to choose?? My attempt at a cost/benefit analysis: consider how many times I've seen the bands before (having seen an AMAZING set by a band makes me likely to want to witness it again, but then again what if a band I've never seen is even more amazing?), proximity of the venue to my apartment (laziness reigns sometimes), cost of the show, how likely they are to play here again soon, how currently obsessed with listening to their record I am?
This will probably be a game time decision (if anyone cares, the options are Young Magic at the Garrison, the Wavelength/Open Roof Festival presentation of The Magic, T H O M A S at the Tranzac and Bad Passion at Holy Oak… all events I would LOVE to witness were they not simultaneous!). What's a music fan to do?
You'll have to forgive my shaky camera skills at the beginning, but I think the spontaneity and charm of this performance by The Elwins shines through anyway. This was at an intersection during the day as part of NXNE. As you can see, quite a few people walked by and didn't stop to watch (shocking to me!). Still, loads of fun. The unofficial day events are the best (yes, I might still be full of quite a bit of NXNE nostalgia).
Album: "Death and Desire" - Digits (Toronto)
The opening line of the titular track muses "death and desire – an unlikely pair", yet this mixtape from moody electronic artist Digits manages to combine strange bedfellows of earnest longing and uneasy melancholy. The songs are built on simple beats and percussion tracks, layered over with his soft voice. The result is introspective, atmospheric and emotional.
A few songs are actually billed as Bad Passion, his other musical endeavor. These tracks are slower, involve two vocalists and, especially on mid-album "Liquid Fire", are extremely beautiful. As a body of work, Death and Desire is extremely cohesive, setting a perfectly brooding atmosphere. With an EP coming out in the next few weeks, Digits is certainly someone to pay attention to.
You can get Death and Desire for free on the Digits website.
This is Tupper Ware Remix Party. I spoke about them in my NXNE Friday night review, but a quick summary: they are beings from the future. They make epic scifi dance music. They were stationed at the corner of College & Bathurst in the midst of NXNE, stirring up laughter and devotion in the crowds of people passing by. This might be the strangest spontaneous musical experience I have ever had, but it was also one of the most fun.
This has been out for a couple of months, but has recently re-entered my mind after seeing Kuhrye-oo/Calvin McElroy dj at Double Double Land in Toronto last Saturday. It was an after party for Cadence Weapon's set opening for Japandroids that night, and despite not going to the show, I knew I couldn't miss this. He has released some amazing mixes and edits over the past while, culminating in the release of his debut EP. Watching him manipulate songs was pretty incredible.
Album Review: "Rare Pleasures" - Ghibli (Edmonton)
The description on this album's bandcamp page states that it "straddles the line between art and club influences, which will probably mean no one will like it." Well, I guess that I'm no one. Ghibli's latest album is a constantly shifting work combining European house music and classical influences, all pasted together in a collage-like fashion. Seriously, all of the samples are taken from youtube videos. He disregards copyright laws much in the same way that he tosses aside genre boundaries and a stereotypical formulaic approach to dance music.
The girl on the album's cover has her head thrown back in delight, and that pretty much sums up my reaction to this record. It is a surprising and varied listen; Ghibli injects an experimental approach to soundtracking your bedroom dance party by drawing on more traditional influences, and the result is a hazy, hypnotizing sonic journey. My favourite moment is the unexpected clarinet solo after two minutes of grooving to the disco-influenced opening on "Babyface", a moment that sums up the record for me: it's thrilling, perplexing and certainly danceable.
You can stream/purchase the album on Ghibli's bandcamp page, or get the cassette through Crash Symbols.
Some reflections on Tuesday night's Polaris Prize Record Salon:
- It feels a bit strange to be part of an extremely small demographic of music fans (it was pointed out repeatedly that there was maybe seven people in the room who weren't jurors, me included).
- I always knew I had an immense amount of respect for Aaron Levin, but if anything, that has been multiplied. He was extremely articulate, talking about the reliance a lot of people have on external validation for their musical choices, and the importance of an artist's vision when it comes to choosing an album for the Polaris.
- I love the Cadence Weapon record. Yet it was pointed out that those in the hip hop community are not exactly thrilled with its inclusion in the long list and are not behind it, something that kind of surprised me. Do I only like it because I am outside of that genre as a listener?
- Multiple nominees seem to be a thing (Patrick Watson, Dan Mangan, Joel Plaskett, et. al.). The question was raised as to whether the Polaris has created an internal star system in which certain artists will be nominated no matter what they put out. I hesitate to get behind this, but I really can't imagine a Dan Mangan record not making the long list, so…
- The track above, by Tenderness, was mentioned by Levin as part of one of the stand-out albums of the past year. I couldn't agree more! He described it as a "R&B weirdo" record, which sounds about right (emphasis on the weirdo). I hope that people check it out, despite it being missed by the long list.
