Southwest Airlines Co. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over allegations that it willfully violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing the expiration date on customers' credit or debit card receipts at airport ticket counters or at cargo counters.
The Southwest Airlines FACTA settlement will resolve two class action lawsuits (Lumos v. Southwest Airlines Co., et al. and Miller v. Southwest Airlines Co., et al.) that allege Southwest Airlines violated FACTA by printing the expiration date on customers' credit or debit card receipts at airport ticket counters or cargo counters. FACTA is a law that is meant to protect consumers from identity theft. It prohibits merchants from printing the expiration date or any more than the last five digits of the card number on any electronically printed receipt distributed to a card holder during a sales transaction.
Southwest has denied the allegations but agreed to offer a cash award to consumers under a class action lawsuit settlement that was preliminarily approved on Oct. 18, 2013.
The only way to receive a refund from the Southwest Airlines FACTA class action settlement is to submit a Claim Form to the Settlement Administrator either online or by mail postmarked no later than Feb. 5, 2014.
Who's Eligible
Anyone who used a credit or debit card to make an individual, non-business related purchase or transaction at a Southwest airport ticket counter between Oct. 17, 2007 and Oct. 20, 2012 or a cargo counter between Oct. 17, 2007 and Jan. 25, 2013 and received a printed receipt.
Potential Award
Southwest Airlines has agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle the class action lawsuit. The settlement will be divided among Class Members who submit timely Claim Forms. Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms are expected to receive between $25 and $200.
Proof of Purchase
Printed receipt of purchase/transaction at Southwest airport ticket counter dated between between Oct. 17, 2007 and Oct. 30, 2012, or at a cargo counter between Oct. 17, 2007 and Jan. 25, 2013.
Claim Form Deadline
Case Name
Lumos v. Southwest Airlines Co., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-01429, and Miller v. Southwest Airlines Co., et al., Case No. 4:12-cv-05978, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Final Hearing
UPDATE 1: A California federal judge has given final approval to the Southwest Airlines FACTA settlement on March 21, 2014.
UPDATE 2: Class action settlement money was distributed to Class Members in mid-April 2014.

MicrosoftŌĆÖs Virtual Earth is battling toe-to-toe with Google Earth for commercial real estate customers in the aerial view and mapping technology arena.
Relative newcomer Virtual Earth has already mapped three-dimensional images of buildings in more than 200 U.S. cities, according to Chris Sampson, director of Virtual Earth sales and business operations at Microsoft. The platformŌĆÖs birdŌĆÖs-eye imagery also covers parts of Canada, Western Europe including the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Since its debut in November 2006, Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft has captured markets in North American population centers through its photography and 3-D technology, and built up its image libraries, Sampson says.
As with Google Earth, MicrosoftŌĆÖs approach updates the standard of aerial photography that prevailed for decades in the commercial real estate industry. Providing 3-D views of a building gives potential investors and developers a clearer image of the structureŌĆÖs exterior from several viewpoints, particularly the front of the building.
ŌĆ£Basically what we do is we go out and take photographs of the city from an aircraft. That gives us the foundation to create these photo-realistic renderings of each one of the buildings in that city. Then we build these 3-D models. We colorize them and create an image that is going to be an image that people view as real,ŌĆØ Sampson says.
Although itŌĆÖs open to any type of plane that can capture the right images, the companyŌĆÖs aerial image partners have mainly used Cessnas. For 3-D imagery, Microsoft has worked with Rochester, N.Y.-based Pictometry, and with Phoenix, Ariz.-based Aerials Express.
Reviews that contrasted the Microsoft and Google mapping and image technologies pointed out that Virtual Earth did not require a separate software application but could be integrated with the browser. However, the reviews also noted that the early version worked only with Internet Explorer.
ŌĆ£Google Earth is a CD-Rom or an offering that is based in the desktop,ŌĆØ Sampson says. ŌĆ£Google Maps is the Web experience. Our offering is focused exclusively on the Web platform experience.ŌĆØ
Microsoft has offered satellite imagery since 1996, and supplemented the satellite images with aerial photographs taken during plane flights. ŌĆ£People werenŌĆÖt satisfied with seeing an air conditioner on top of a piece of property,ŌĆØ Sampson says. Investors wanted additional, detailed views.
Each month, Microsoft adds 15-50 terabytes of data to its image library, or one trillion bytes of storage, or 1,000 gigabytes. ŌĆ£You can have Cedar Rapids, Iowa, updated with that imagery, or Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,ŌĆØ says Sampson.
Potential clients can check out the service on Virtual EarthŌĆÖs Web site, but they must pay if they want a commercial use license.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs free to look at when you go to our portal site. But if you want to license the platform, you either pay by the transaction, or you license it upfront,ŌĆØ Sampson notes.
ŌĆ£A transaction is pretty simple. When I make a request and get an image back on my computer, thatŌĆÖs one transaction. That one transaction is a fraction of a penny, less than one half of a penny. If you said, IŌĆÖm not interested in your transaction, I just want to buy it upfront, the entry free to license the platform is roughly about $8,000.ŌĆØ
After licensing, companies are free to embed the program on their own Web sites. And theyŌĆÖre also free to embellish the program with their own interior photographs of their clientsŌĆÖ buildings. In the future, Microsoft plans to extend the program to include interior building views.
ŌĆ£We want to continue to expand that image library, to capture the full global experience,ŌĆØ says Sampson. ŌĆ£We want to provide business intelligence analytics ŌĆö software that gives commercial real estate investors and developers and property managers the ability to do some really interesting ŌĆśWhat-ifs.ŌĆÖ For instance, the scenarios might allow potential investors or owners to consider the noise effect on their property of widening a street from two to four lanes.
Among its current clients, Virtual EarthŌĆÖs Web site lists Parsippany, N.J.-based Coldwell Banker, the City of Miami and the U.S. Air Force.
ŌĆ£From my experience, the Virtual Earth imagery is much more crisp, as opposed to the Google mapping. IŌĆÖve found the controls a lot easier to use, in navigating the maps,ŌĆØ says Matthew Kornfeind, manager of marketing and technology at Coldwell Banker Commercial. The program now works with several browsers, he says. ŌĆ£We actually use Virtual Earth to power our listing engine ŌĆö CBC worldwide.com. We have over 15,000 commercial listings.ŌĆØ
Coldwell Banker Commercial agent Allison Pochapin, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., says she does not use the service in listing her multifamily properties, but she does find it helpful when assisting an investor who is considering a commercial building.
ŌĆ£I have looked at hundreds of units with buyers,ŌĆØ Pochapin says. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖll use whatever marketing a property has. I know a lot of buyers use them both [Virtual Earth and Google Earth]. It makes sense. I think itŌĆÖs very useful in the real estate industry, no matter what type of property it is. If a person isnŌĆÖt familiar with an area they have the opportunity to see the area from various viewpoints, before going to see it in person.ŌĆØ
An online glimpse can save the cost and time of a trip to view a property, Pochapin says ŌĆö if the building image or the setting isnŌĆÖt to the buyerŌĆÖs liking.

It's all about the jobs: get ready for a year of Labour's new mantra
Richard Harman at Politik has an interview with Grant Robertson…where it is all about jobs…and he's been thinking a lot.
The funny thing is that Grant Robertson has never had a real job and he is the supposed genius who is going to solve all our problems?
This is the year that Labour will try and shift the goal posts that define the economic debate in New Zealand politics.
In one of the most fundamental shakeups of the way the party thinks about the economy and itself it is proposing to build its policies around the way the workplace has changed.
Labour, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year, has always been the "workers' party" where the workers were employees of big companies or organisations` which either processed, transported or manufactured physical products.
But these days manufacturing (in which Statistics NZ includes construction) accounts for less than 20% of gdp — service industries make up 66% of the economy.
And just as important as this shift has been the way we work. Labour faces this on the doorsteps of South Auckland among its huge Pasifika support base where people work two or three jobs, some part time, and some casual.
The old notions of security of employment has long since gone.
It has fallen to Grant Robertson to try and pull together the party's response to this which he is doing by a massive consultation process.
So far he has been producing papers, talking to groups, unions, companies and individuals.

Concepts in Toxicology
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 4 business days
Toxicology has never been more important. Advances in chemistry and technology offering improvements in the quality of human life become ever more rapid, bringing with them the potential for new toxicity hazards. This has led to legislation requiring toxicity testing and risk assessment for all chemicals and their uses. The new REACH (Risk Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulation has profound economic consequences because, without official authorization, a chemical cannot be marketed. This book explains, in depth, the ideas underlying current advances in toxicology and its application in regulating and ensuring the safe use of chemicals. Sometimes old ideas have become assumptions that have become embedded in related laws and regulation, even though the thinking of toxicologists has moved on in line with developments in science. This leads to confusion in public understanding that the book should dispel. There are also fundamental ideas in toxicology that are not well understood concerning the concepts of hazard and risk and even about what constitutes a chemical. For many people the word 'chemical' describes manmade substances only. In fact, it is correctly applied to all substances that exist, from pure elements to the most complex biological molecules in food and medicines. This is further complicated by the complex distinction between the descriptors, 'toxic' and 'nontoxic'. Developments in epigenetics are revolutionizing our understanding of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Improved understanding of apoptosis and necrosis leads to improved interpretation of potentially toxic effects at the cellular level. The recently defined term 'chemical speciation' is driving more targeted research on the toxicity of inorganic chemicals. This book explains the concepts implied by key toxicological terms using diagrams to illustrate the relationships between them. It is an essential aid to understanding the new demands from regulators of risk assessment and to the implementation of appropriate risk management.show more

Back cover copy
Toxicology has never been more important. Advances in chemistry and technology, offering improvements in the quality of human life, have become ever more rapid, bringing with them the need for appropriate management to ensure that the benefits of new substances are not accompanied by problems of toxicity. Safe use of chemicals requires a common understanding of scientific terminology and of its usage, between scientists in related disciplines, between scientists and regulators, and between regulators and the public, at both national and international level. Concepts in Toxicology is a one-stop reference for all those who now need to understand the fundamental toxicological concepts that underlie both the scientific development of the subject and its practical application in regulation and management of chemical safety. These concepts are often taken for granted by practitioners and the inherent assumptions are left unstated. This book provides full explanations of the meaning and use of toxicological terms chosen for their frequent occurrence in the literature and their importance in merging chemistry and toxicology. Concepts in Toxicology reflects current scientific knowledge and is designed to provide a readily available aid in responding to new demands from regulators for risk assessment and for the implementation of appropriate risk management to protect human health and the natural environment. Concepts in Toxicology should be an essential reference for anyone working in toxicology, chemicals management, or the implementation of legislation such as the new REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) Regulation now being implemented throughout the European Union. It will also help those concerned with the development of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) that may eventually supersede REACH. The authors have written a text designed to be a guide to concepts in toxicology that are fundamental both to where the subject is today and where it is going tomorrow.show more

The Economics of Private Equity Funds
Andrew Metrick
Yale School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Ayako Yasuda
University of California, Davis - Graduate School of Management
June 2010
The Review of Financial Studies, Vol. 23, Issue 6, pp. 2303-2341, 2010
This article analyzes the economics of the private equity industry using a novel model and dataset. We obtain data from a large investor in private equity funds, with detailed records on 238 funds raised between 1993 and 2006. We build a model to estimate the expected revenue to managers as a function of their investor contracts, and we test how this estimated revenue varies across the characteristics of our sample funds. Among our sample funds, about two-thirds of expected revenue comes from fixed-revenue components that are not sensitive to performance. We find sharp differences between venture capital (VC) and buyout (BO) funds. BO managers build on their prior experience by increasing the size of their funds faster than VC managers do. This leads to significantly higher revenue per partner and per professional in later BO funds. The results suggest that the BO business is more scalable than the VC business and that past success has a differential impact on the terms of their future funds.

Love the ring! Overstock cust. service people were wonderful as well. If you are looking for a simple elegant ring this one is for you.Read More
I had been watching this and one other ring for a few months on Overstock. Though skeptical, I decided to go for it and buy the ring when it went on sale. I was worried about how the band would look next to my 1.25 carat solitaire engagement ring that is excellent quality. This ring arrived very quickly and I was very pleased. If your solitaire is over a carat, I suggest not getting an eternity band less than one carat, otherwise the stones are too small. These stones are a good size and the quality is nice---a lot of sparkle. I am now even more anxious for the wedding because I want to wear the band now!! Great value also---we looked EVERYWHERE and nothing in an eternity band style came anywhere close to the deal of this ring (next best deal at a jeweler was almost a thousand dollars for lower quality stones at this carat weight!) Seems to run pretty true to size---I ordered a half size up from my engagement ring since this ring will be worn below it. It is really comfortable and the workmanship is nice. I highly recommend purchasing this ring (but I would wait for it to go on sale, it seems to vary in price by almost $200 on this site depending on the day so be patient and watch for the deals! :)Read More
I was very, very pleased with this product!! The stones were brillant. It was scarey ordering diamonds over the internet but the quality was excellent.Read More
Anniversary gift. Had to let her see / try it. Got good reaction.. She gets it to keep next week...Read More
The pictures don't do it justice. The wife loves her ring. It's shinier than the pictures show and better in person. She has a small hand and wears size 5. It definitely stands out. It's lightweight, brighter than true silver. She likes how it has a thin milgrain design on the edges. Definitely worth the price especially if you subscribe to the coupon emails for an even better deal!Read More
This ring is amazing its so much better in real life than in pictures. Love this ring. Diamonds are really good quality. Ring size is accurate.Read More
IT IS VERY HIGH QUALITY, PEREFECY SPECIFICATIONS, ACCURAYE SIZERead More
My husband and I had been searching for an eternity band for quite some time. We finally ordered this one and it is amazing!The band itself is a high quality, the diamonds are great and have a lot of sparkle. And in general, it is very pretty and classic.The price was excellent as well. All other sites and jewelry stores were double or triple the price for the same carat weight and clarity.The ring size is also spot on.Read More
We bought this ring for everyday wearing when I don't want to wear my wedding set. The diamonds are very firey and clear. It as a very simple, elegant piece. Great purchase. I have been wearing it for four weeks straight. I haven't put my wedding set back on since I received it!Read More
The diamonds are small and far way they look like clusters as well as, slightly cloudy.Read More
This is a beautiful ring!! Great quality for the value! Very happy with the purchase!!Read More
Nice ring but had to return due to size 6 didn't fit my wife's size 6 finger. Don't use UPS to send items back...more than USPS.Read More
This was my first purchase on O-stock.com and the first online jewelry purchase. I was a bit uncomfortable, but I must say that I'm very satisfied with the entire transaction. The item was shipped on time, status updates were prompt and the value of this item is unmatched. The clarity and sparkle was better than I expected. I purchased the item for my wife and to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. She's still smiling several days later. I wish you the best and hope your experience is as good as mine.Read More
After reading some of the other reviews I was a little worried about the ring and weather or not to get it. But I decided to go for it because it was a great price and better than I could find in town even going through a whole seller.... My wedding ring is excellent better quality and I was nervous that it wouldn't match. But it matches great quality, color you can't even tell that they are different, and everyting. It looks GREAT... Go for it and if you don't like it send it back.....Read More
We have been looking for several months for this design. ALL of the jewelry stores we went to (in 3 different cities) did not have any in stock and said they could order one for us. We decided to look at Overstock and found this ring. The ring was shipped to us and we got it in a few days. I was skeptical, but upon examination, it looked excellent. It is very presentable and the color of the diamonds are very acceptable. In short, it was a great value and the ring looks fantastic. My wife is very happy with it and I was very happy with the price. We got the white gold version.Read More
This ring is gorgeous! Everyone who sees it comments on it's beauty, sparkle, and style, and thinks we spent a small fortune on it. I love this band and think that I am a most fortunite lady to have such a beautiful ring to commemorate our 10th wedding anniversary.Read More
The diamonds were yellowish color and were not clear. They looked fake and even though the price was good the quality was not and did not match my fiance's center stone at all. Would not recommend buying these at all.Read More
Very nice ring, with a attractive sparkle. It was shipped very quickly, the packaging was excellent . I would not only reccomend your business, but use it again . Thank youRead More
I would like to first start by saying Overstock has excellant service and the shipping is incredible!! We placed 2 different orders and within 24hrs we had both packages~The ring is beautiful~we have been looking for an eternity band for quite some time and were nervous about ordering online and from a business we have never purchased anything~Rest assured it is well worth it and the ring is better looking than on the website!! I love it and could not be happier and for the price---it is a great buy!!!! Good Luck and Enjoy!!!!Read More
I bought this ring for my daughter, whom is quite particular. She likes this ring and has been wearing it for over a month with no issues. She is happy........and that is a good thing. I had it appraised for her, and the replacement cost was almost double this price.Read More

Who wants to live in a perfect world – our colourful capital adds a bit of spice to life
Published 24/02/2014 | 02:30
Dublin or London? Which is the better city to live in? According to the annual Mercer 2014 Quality of Living survey, Dublin beats London – coming in at 34th best city in the top 50, while London trails four cities behind at 38th. On the criteria applied, for quality of living, freedom from pollution, low crime – yes! Amazingly! – good recreational, educational and social activities, Dublin, once dubbed 'the Second City of the Empire', has now overtaken what was the first.
Having lived in both of them, over long stretches, and retaining a foothold in both, I'm not sure I would personally draw a categorical comparison. Dublin and London offer different pleasures, in my experience. And have different drawbacks.
Dublin, though vastly bigger than it used to be, still retains a kind of intimacy. Any denizen of the city will nearly always run into someone she knows when walking down Grafton Street, strolling around St Stephen's Green, or shopping in Moore Street and Henry Street. There is a warmth about that serendipity of human contact, particularly in this age of social media when so much of our contact is through the medium of the screen.
In London, even the long-time resident is unlikely to be stopped in Piccadilly Circus or Bond Street by a casual acquaintance or veteran neighbour. Over the last few years, particularly, native Londoners, or even Brits, have been deserting London in droves, and it is now more than 51pc foreign-born. Even allowing for its great size, London is increasingly a city of strangers.
Immigrants have taken over so much of the heart of London: and by that, I don't mean poor folk from east central Europe or refugees from Somalia or Bangladesh. The most dominant 'immigrants' are the oligarchs who seem to have bought up whole neighbourhoods – extremely rich Russians, Indians, Saudi Arabians, Chinese.
A recent study by Brian Bell at Oxford University analysing wages stretching back 40 years showed that even professionals such as scientists, academics and architects were 'struggling' to keep their head above water in London – priced out of wages and the property market by the super-rich, notably by those in the financial spheres.
So even the reasonably affluent middle-class working in London tend to live in commuter towns in Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Bedfordshire and Essex. The enormous concentration of people, the struggle to commute to work, the alarmingly high prices, for most people, must contribute to London having dropped down the scale in 'quality of living' index.
Dublin has its congestion problems and people struggle to commute to work too; some daily commuters live as far away as Mullingar, Portlaoise and Navan.
But you don't feel, in Dublin, this overwhelming sense of being a depersonalised dot in a crowd. In London, I queue for everything: the theatres and the galleries are fabulous, but every theatre seat is booked up (and it's not unusual to pay £60 (€72) for a modest theatre seat), and every exhibition heaving. All this is great for the arts – and the oligarchs, and their girlfriends, are spending money on the arts. But it slightly takes the edge off quality of life.
Dublin's great disadvantage, in my experience, is a lamentable bus service. I waited over 40 minutes at Blackrock for a bus one evening recently: it reminded me of being in Albania in the bad old Communist days. Dublin should certainly lose merit points for its very inadequate bus service – if I was dictator for a day, I'd make every politician travel by bus at least once a week. London buses arrive frequently and promptly.
Overall, though, I would concur with the survey's findings, and give Dublin the edge over London, because Dublin is somehow built to the human scale. It's big enough to be a cosmopolitan capital where people can pursue their own interests but still intimate enough to have a real, human personality.
I endorse the views of a Corkwoman I met recently who said: "I love Dublin – it's so open. It's not cliquey. You can be free but you won't be lost." That could be a mite Utopian – there are homeless and marginalised people in Dublin, as anywhere – but it's a warm analysis from an unusual source: a Corkwoman!
As for the cities that came top in the survey – Vienna winning, followed by Zurich, Auckland in New Zealand, Munich, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt and Vancouver – are some of them just the teeniest bit boring?
To be sure, some art experts regard Vienna's famous art gallery, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the finest in the world, and in Zurich, the trams are seldom a moment late: but not everyone wants to live in a place where the municipal authorities don't allow you to flush the loo after 10pm – as in Switzerland – for fear of disturbing the peace.
Feeling safe and secure in a city is appreciated. But a little piquancy and colour sometimes adds to the spice of life.
I wouldn't go so far as to wish to live in Baghdad, Port au Prince, or Bangui in the Central African Republic, all of which come bottom of the class, but Tbilisi in Georgia, ranked one of the worst cities in Europe, at 191st place, is to my mind a gorgeous and fascinating location.
Just as there's some good in everyone, every city surely has some virtues, as its natives and residents would affirm.

Few decades after people have conceptualized Star Wars, many were thinking the franchise would just die down. On Monday, Electronic Arts signed a multi-year agreement to develop Star Wars video games and ensure the franchise would continue to live, Game Arena reported on Tuesday.
There are hundreds of Star Wars ideas out there and the franchise is just too valuable to waste. Disney, which bought the franchise several years ago, did a great decision in employing Electronic Arts' game development services. There couldn't be other publishers out there that have reliable development studios like EA.
Basically, EA will collaborate with Lucasfilms to produce future Star Wars titles. It means you can expect nothing less than a better video game in the following years. As part of the agreement, EA studio teams DICE (Battlefield series) and Visceral (Dead Space series) will join BioWare (Mass Effect series, Star Wars: The Old Republic) in the development of new Star Wars games.
"Our number one objective was to find a developer who could consistently deliver our fans great Star Wars games for years to come," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. "When we looked at the talent of the teams that EA was committing to our games and the quality of their vision for Star Wars, the choice was clear."
Both EA and Lucasfilms will ensure the development and Disney will take charge of the publishing, advertising and whatnot. These video game titans are targeting to boost sales in mobile, social, tablet, and other online gaming platforms.
"Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe," said EA Labels President Frank Gibeau. "Three of our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay."

On Monday the Scout.com rankings were extended/updated and Iowa verbals are on the move.
We begin with Jacob Rudock. The St. Thomas Aquinas (FL) quarterback product was listed as a 2-star, but has been bumped up to a 3-star and is now the No. 65 nationally ranked quarterback in the country. He led the Raiders to the state semi-finals(5A) with 1,949 passing yards, 30 TDs, and eight interceptions in 2009.
When John Raymon committed to Iowa in late June, it had many Hawkeye fans scratching their heads. Who is this guy? Well it's clear that he is not flying under the radar any longer. Raymon is now a 3-star defensive end and ranked the No. 75th overall. The Council Rock North (PA) product gets his season underway on September 3rd.
With the rankings extended, Iowa's first commitment Marcus Grant now as a spot. Grant has been upgraded to a 3-star player and is the No. 111 wide receiver overall in the country. As a junior, Grant caught 22 passes for 413 yards and six touchdowns. The Lawrence Academy product also carried the ball 25 times for 349 yards and four scores and returned three punts for TDs.
Michigan product Jake Duzey is now rated among the tight ends in the Scout.com rankings. Listed as a receiver before, Duzey is a 3-star and checks in at the No. 38 overall nationally at tight end.
Outside linebacker Mike Orloff's star rating stayed the same, but is now the No. 136 overall at his position.
Another outside linebacker that saw a jump in his rating was Cole Fisher. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder jumped to a 3-star player and checks it at No. 88 for his position. He finished his junior season with 80 tackles last season, but had surgery on a torn right ACL in January.
Iowa currently checks in at No. 29 overall in the team rankings, with a 3.0 average when it comes to stars. At just 13 commitments, we should see a rise in their ranking as time goes by.

All signs point to the recovery of the region's real estate market after nearly eight years in the tank.
With inventory short, real estate agents report sales within percentage points of asking prices, and multiple bids on properly priced listings in move-in condition.
Not everyone is benefiting, however.
Ask Larry Golub, of Trevose; Gayle Whittle, of Oreland; and Wendy Wirsch, of Warrington.
"We've had our home on the market for over three years now, with no showings for over seven months," said Golub, whose high-end manufactured home in Trevose cost $135,000 when it was new seven years ago.
Price reductions for his "as-new home" - now listed at $92,000 - haven't helped, said Golub, who lives in the Neshaminy School District.

Erie BayHawks trade Ahearn, McCullough to Reno
Following Thursday night's D-League Draft, Allan Houston wouldn't stand firm on all eight of Erie's picks showing up at next week's training camp.
"As of right now, that's the plan, but obviously we all know how fast things can happen," said the team's general manager of basketball operations.
Less than 12 hours later, the BayHawks traded second-round pick Taj McCullough and veteran point guard Blake Ahearn to Reno for point guard Donald Sloan and seventh-round pick Joe Kennerly III on Friday.
"It was an organizational decision," Erie coach Jay Larranaga said. "With the personal relationship with Blake, that's always difficult. Hate to see someone as good a person and player as him leave Erie after all he's done, but we're excited about Donald."
Camp begins Thursday. The BayHawks are in a hybrid partnership with the New York Knicks. Houston is an assistant general manager with the Knicks.
Erie now has nine roster moves left.
Ahearn, 27, averaged 16.9 points for Erie in 31 games in 2010-11. Out of Missouri State, Ahearn averaged 25.7 points in 13 games in the 2009-10 season.
As for McCullough, Erie drafted him in the second round of the 2008 D-League draft when it was an expansion team.
McCullough, 25, averaged 6.5 points in eight games for Erie before injuring his knee and later being released. Picked up by Fort Wayne, McCullough averaged 15.6 points in 44 games.
Larranaga said McCullough fit the Knicks' style of play, but he also had "trade value."
Sloan, 23, averaged 10.7 points last season for the Bighorns, who eliminated Erie from the D-League playoffs last season.
"Led by Allan, the Knicks have a great scouting staff and we identified Donald as a player of interest," Larranaga said.
Reno drafted Kennerly, 27, in the seventh round of Thursday's draft. Out of Central Oklahoma, the 6-foot 9-inch Kennerly has played in Bulgaria.

Skip to comments.Minnesota Professor Pledges to Desecrate Eucharist
Posted on 07/10/2008 7:28:58 AM PDT by Pyro7480
Paul Zachary Myers, a professor at the University of Minnesota Morris, has pledged to desecrate the Eucharist. He is responding to what happened recently at the University of Central Florida when a student walked out of Mass with the Host, holding it hostage for several days. Myers was angry at the Catholic League for criticizing the student. His post can be accessed from his faculty page on the universitys website.
Here is an excerpt of his July 8 post, Its a Frackin Cracker!:
Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers? Myers continued by saying, if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, Ill show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare. I wont be tempted to hold it hostage (no, not even if I have a choice between returning the Eucharist and watching Bill Donohue kick the pope in the balls, which would apparently be a more humane act than desecrating a go*****ed cracker), but will instead treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded as follows:
The Myers blog can be accessed from the universitys website. The university has a policy statement on this issue which says that the Contents of all electronic pages must be consistent with University of Minnesota policies, local, state and federal laws. One of the schools policies, Code of Conduct, says that When dealing with others, faculty et al. must be respectful, fair and civil. Accordingly, we are contacting the President and the Board of Regents to see what they are going to do about this matter. Because the university is a state institution, we are also contacting the Minnesota legislature.
It is hard to think of anything more vile than to intentionally desecrate the Body of Christ. We look to those who have oversight responsibility to act quickly and decisively.
Apparently, there are many who agree, and probably wouldn't object to the professor doing this, even here on a conservative forum.
Catholic ping!
A hero of the Catholic-hating Caucus has emerged!
Wow, what a tolerant and hip professor. I'm gonna send my kids to that school so they can score an eduction!
He has his own wikibio:
It is highly disrespective of this professor and akin to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
What a sad and deranged person.
Well this professor is pretty much shown himself to be an intollerant racist, so when should we expect the board to fire him for violation, I am sure, of the universities policies? /SARCASM
What am I thinking, that would actually be standing up for what is right when it isn't what is popular for the communist remenants.
Idiot! Is this guy a Catholic? It may be "just a cracker" BEFORE Mass ... but not after.
Hey tough guy, go to a mosque and point your butt the wrong way.
What an idiot.
Its a Frackin Cracker!
Then, Paulie, why are you getting your panties in a twist over a church requiring that this 'cracker' be eaten at the alter?
The way he presented it verbally and in a public state sponsored forum is what he should be in trouble over under the university code of conduct. Taking the action while despicable to most is not any more against the law than flushing a koran.
(oh yeah, that doesn't apply to Christians)
Where did you find THAT?
Pharyngula: Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
"What a sad and deranged person."
And a gutless one, too. Gee, would he desecrate a koran? Of course not, because he'd likely be killed if he did. But Catholics (probably) won't react with violence, so he is safe to belittle us and our faith.
Then again, someday Someone Else just might have words with him, ones with eternal ramifications.
Hey tough guy, go to a mosque and point your butt the wrong way.
Or desecrate a Koran , Draw a picture of Muhammed, Buy a dog, eat a ham sandwich..or basically live free...ok the last few were tongue in cheek..but if he wanted to impress me do the first two and video tape it and post to you tube with your address..then I may be impressed..
Basically the same folks who say Christians are intolerant are the same ones who can't stand the thought of Christian Beliefs..
No, I mean where did you find the link in the first place?
The original blog entry:
Be forewarned: he has a DU-caliber vocabulary.
One of the more vacuous lines of logic used by unbelievers to justify their obstinacy is that nothing "happened" when they performed some sacrilegious or sinful act or when they crossed a line which they had been warned not to cross. We hear it all the time........"I did such and such and no bolt of lightening struck me down.....God didn't zap me!"
It appears this dolt is operating along similar lines of reasoning.
I'll pray for this man. He does not know what he is doing.
Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers?
So he's a dope.
I wonder what Paul Zachary Myers FR screenname is?
Most of the crowd that screamed out for Jesus' crucifixion, who spat on Him and mocked Him as he made His way to Golgotha - well, those people went home and went about their daily business without incident and lived the remainder of their lives in apparent comfort and peace.
Not too many of them would have lived to see the Temple destroyed almost 40 years later.
They, much like Myers, didn't realize that they were already living in a hell of their own making.
I would literally prefer to be dead and gone than to be Paul Myers.
What a dreary and unending chore life must be for someone who thinks and acts as he does.
What an incredibly sick human being.
Notice how eager these heros are to attack Catholics, but they have a blind spot toward the "Religion of Peace?"
He knows exactly what he is doing. He is doing evil on purpose and with malice aforethought.
I pray that if he gets his wish that Jesus will show him the Truth as has happened in other Eucharistic miracles.
c) College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.
There are entirely too many lefties in the Academy who have no concept what the italicized words mean.
Its a Frackin Cracker!
Apparently, there are many who agree, and probably wouldn't object to the professor doing this, even here on a conservative forum.
Hey, he's just being consistent in his non-literalism. Too bad so many Catholics refuse to understand this.
Well, what we have here is a rhetorical Saul of Tarsus.
I think it's a cracker, but this is still horribly disrespectful, bigoted, and hateful.
The professor should be fired.
Look at me I'm Paul Zachary Myers! Look at me! Hey!
Why isn't anybody paying attention to me, Paul Zachary Myers!
No. His religion is evolution.
These guys just can't leave other people's religions alone. Maybe they consider Eucharist worship more offensive than flying airplanes into skyscrapers.
I could hazard a guess.
Oh, give me a break ZC. There's nothing defensible about this guy.
If these smart alecks don't agree with a doctrine and don't want to participate in it, WHY CAN THEY NOT LEAVE OTHERS WHO DO ALONE and just go where that particular doctrine is NOT practiced? Why must they boss everybody else around and try to force them to "do it their way" by showing disrespect to things the other people hold in high regard? - Oh, forget I asked, if they are liberals, and surely they must be liberals. "Free speech" is one thing, but physically interfering with other people's free speech is something else entirely.

Spanier asks federal court to halt criminal case
HARRISBURG -- Former Pennsylvania State University President Graham Spanier filed a federal lawsuit Monday that seeks to put an end to his state prosecution for an alleged criminal cover-up of child sex abuse complaints about ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Spanier's lawyers filed a complaint in federal court in Harrisburg that said his case was undertaken in bad faith and that it violates his constitutional right to due process of law.
Spanier is awaiting trial in Dauphin County court in Harrisburg, along with two of his former employees at Penn State: retired vice president Gary Schultz and retired athletic director Tim Curley. All three defendants are waiting for a decision by the trial judge regarding claims that their right to legal representation was violated by the actions of former Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin.
Baldwin's actions, and decisions by Frank Fina, a former state prosecutor, figured prominently in the 15-page complaint for injunctive relief filed by Spanier.
He faces charges of perjury, obstruction, failure to report suspected child abuse, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of children.
Spanier's lawyers argued that when Fina subpoenaed Spanier to appear before a grand jury, Fina "had no evidentiary basis to believe that Spanier was criminally culpable or that Spanier had information that would further the investigation."
Baldwin, Spanier's lawyers wrote, accompanied Spanier to a grand jury appearance in 2011 and told the supervising judge that she represented Penn State solely. Lawyers also wrote that Fina did not correct Spanier when he identified Baldwin as his own lawyer.
Baldwin also interjected during Spanier's testimony as if she were acting as his lawyer, the new lawsuit said.

In a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center, use of myocardial perfusion imaging was inappropriate in approximately 20% of studies, a proportion that is similar to that reported from other practice settings in the United States. The facts that VA physicians are salaried and malpractice claims are very uncommon suggest that there are other reasons that physicians order inappropriate tests. These might include exaggerated belief in the accuracy and clinical benefit of tests, lack of understanding of the potential harms (including radiation exposure and false-positive results), and a cultural value for "doing more." This study was small and conducted at a single VA medical center, so the findings should be viewed as hypothesis generating. Nevertheless, it suggests that the culture of overordering is ingrained and we need to carefully consider approaches to reducing inappropriate care that focus on physician knowledge and culture.

The tackiness of the suction cup means that it can be attached to leather, leatherette, wood, and that oddly rubberized "soft-touch" dashboard material. I particularly enjoyed the dashboard-mounting option because it allowed me to mount the phone low and near the radio controls, where I could easily reach it to input destinations or change songs while the windshield remained unobstructed.
Like the C-Fit, the Steady Clip has only one point of articulation, at the ball-joint where the gripping claw meets the mounting arm -- unless you count the spring-loaded jaws. This, combined with the sticky, tacky suction cup, can make getting the mount's gripping claw into the perfect position a bit tricky, but not impossible. The claw does have a few degrees of tilt articulation and can be freely rotated, thanks to its ball-joint connection to the mounting arm. The assembly can also be locked in place by tightening a ring on its back panel.
The clip's arms also take up more space than the C-Fit's, so additional care must be taken to avoid obstructions when mounting it on, for example, steeply raked windshields.
On the other hand, with only one joint to worry about and a relatively short arm, the Steady Clip is quite stable, exhibiting none of the shakiness and vibration that longer, more flexible mounts do when its ball-joint is locked into place.
Fortunately, the Steady Clip's mounting arm lacks the wide, glossy plastic cover that covers the suction cup mechanism on the C-Fit. This makes the Steady Clip's tenacious grip much easier to break when it comes time to remove the mount, thanks to the fact that it's easier to get your fingers around the base. Visually, the Steady Clip's base has more in common with Bracketron's Mi-T Grip, which is a good thing.
In sum
The TackForm Steady Clip's tacky suction cup and its 0-to-4-inch gripping range make it ideal for owners of very large (or oddly narrow) smartphones who want to dashboard-mount them, but unless you're carrying one of those phones of extreme dimension, you're probably better off taking a look at the TackForm C-Fit or Bracketron Mi-T Grip with their stronger gripping arms and lower-profile designs.

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween in advance. I am leaving for Tokyo and I will be there through Halloween. I have never actually been at Tokyo Disneyland on Halloween Day. Like here in the U.S., they always allow children to enter the park in costume. They also allow adults to wear what they call "a hint of Disney" anytime during the year. This means NOT a complete costume, but I have seen some adults looking like they were wearing almost a full costume anyway...and this is throughout the year. On Halloween Day and for the seven days before, they do allow full costumes to be worn by adults. I have seen some pictures and it looks like the costumes get pretty elaborate. I am looking forward to seeing this in person and hopefully I will come back with a lot of new photos to share. I will resume posting when I return. :-)

2000 Cadillac Catera Sedan 4dr Sedan
Repaired 3 times check Engine never goes away. Inside Engine material is plastic imagine! on a 260 degree Hot Engine. that is why it constant need repair. This car should had been a recall. It stop in the middle of the road without warning. Don't bother to call GM they won't help you, this has been put under the carpet rather then recall. (IS Cheaper).
Good seating.
Replace the plastic intake with Metal like a normal car, Left & Right intake better quality hose rubber not plastic.
This car is terrible. The one good thing I got out of it was that I could warn other people like you to NOT buy this car. I've had problem after problem with this car. It is always at the mechanic. Seemed like a good buy, but I spent so much more money repairing it. Some of the problems I had were my door falling apart, power windows stopped working, my ABS and traction control stopped working, and my speedomotor hasn't worked in months. My car randomly broke down once on my way to work too. This car is a PIECE. DO NOT buy one. Cadillac made a terrible car, I would never want anyone to have the problems I had with this car. It might look cute and nice on the outside, but it is terribly made.
I haven't even had this car for a month and it's already been in the shop three different times! Problems with the engine, mass air flow sensor, gaskets, and electrical problems. The first week I had it, ran great. Now the radio and heated seats quit working. And to top it all off, the sunroof automatically opens at random times and will not close! I thought cadillacs were nice reliable luxery vehicles???? Don't let the looks fool you!
Heated seats... if they work that is
Overall quality of the car should be improved
What a piece of junk! I took a gamble and bought a 2000 Catera this past August. Traded it in this month ( November ). In the 3 months I owned it, I spent almost $1,000 in repairs. Transmission solonoid, oil gasket, emission valve, brake boost valve....countless others needed and advised by my mechanic to cut my losses and pawn it off, so I did. If anyone out there is looking at buying one of these, don't! The car may look nice and the price may be right, but just don't do it. Parts are very expensive, and these cars are a real pain to work on! It will be a choice you will soon regret, just like I did. I got next to nothing on trade in too, by the way! Cost me lots of money in the end!
The Bose stereo is really nice! The leather seats were very comfortable.
None. They stopped making this car in 2001 for a reason.
The car drives like a dream, however, the check engine light will not go off. No one can find the problem. The rear middle seat belt locks and cannot be used. The gas mileage is horrible. A new fuel pump at 70K cost me $917. If you try to run anything except premium fuel, you will find yourself in a world of hurt. My advice is to buy a real Cadillac (Deville, for example). Better mileage, better service. Cadillac needs to stand behind this product and make it right. I sure wish I had bought a Deville!
Leather seating, BOSE stereo system, cargo room in the trunk.
With the recurring problems, Cadillac needs to recall these cars and resolve the issues. Of course, that requires training the service techs on how to work on these cars.

Hey All!!
I just wanted to vent a bit about some upsetting news in my life recently. I teach high school special ed, and have been teaching at a local school district for the past 2 years. I was ready for a change and applied at a really great district several weeks ago. I was the second choice, but the first choice ended up accepting a job elsewhere. I went back in for another interview, ect. At that time they offered me the job! I accepted and was THRILLED!! My boys and I were all going to be in the elementary together. It was a great district, and my boys would not have gotten in had I not been teaching there. I resigned from my position at the high school, and was gearing up for a transition to the elementary. I did have to take the elementary test, but did not have any concerns about passing it. Here is the bummer part....they called me yesterday afternoon and withdrew their offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SHOCKED!!! I think it was illegal, since I had already signed a letter of intent. I guess what happened was that a "local" gal came in with her elementary certification and since she was local they offered her the position! Its very un-professional what they did.....they had already filled the position with me! But....I hear that it was all political! So....big bummer!!! I cried all yesterday...it was just so shocking! I have never heard of this happening, nor have any of my admins!
Thanks for letting me vent!
I am better.....everything happens for a reason! I was very embarrassed, although I did nothing! But still!
Shannon :)
