Torrid pace of pending sales begins to slow
July 30, 2013 @ 7:43 am
After reaching the highest level in over six years, pending home sales declined in June, with rising mortgage interest rates beginning to impact the market while higher home prices reduce affordability in high-cost regions, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, edged down 0.4 percent to 110.9 in June from a downwardly revised 111.3 in May, but is 10.9 percent higher than June 2012 when it was 100.0; the data reflect contracts but not closings.
Pending sales have been above year-ago levels for the past 26 months, and the pace in May was the highest since December 2006 when it reached 112.8.
"Mortgage interest rates began to rise in May, taking some of the momentum out of contract activity in June," Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said. "The persistent lack of inventory also is contributing to lower contract signings."

The 1981 postseason, if there was no split-division titles

Fans of baseball now could relate to the postseason of 1981, as for the first time ever, there were divisional...

Hi all,
I've just bought an Ipad 3 and I wasn't yet able to find a decent application capable to play an MTS movie at 1080i natively. All the players I've tried so far (free and commercial) offer a really poor experience. For the rest, I found a lot conversion tools, but I don't really want to convert my entire camera footage archive! It's quite frustrating to have such a nice display without the possiblity of using it...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers offense is much younger when compared to the defense. Over the past few years the Steelers have focused on the offensive line in an effort to resurrect the run game and protect Ben Roethlisberger. It will be up to the Steelers front office and coaches to determine whether or not they are content with their offensive lineman and where they stand in terms of position players on offense.
Due to cap limitations the Steelers will likely lose both Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace in free agency even if they would like to keep one, or both, if they had the money. Back-up quarterbacks Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch are also free agents along with wide receiver Plaxico Burress, guard Ramon Foster, tackle Max Starks, center Doug Legursky and tight end Leonard Pope.
Pittsburgh will also have three restricted free agents on the offensive side of the ball: wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, running back Jonathan Dwyer and running back Isaac Redman. All three players should return ...

And I'll make a start: I created a large-ish Excel spreadsheet that covers every day in detail from the original data provided by Adsense, i.e. ad and page impressions, ad clicks, and revenue. From this I derive the following parameters: - ad impressions per pageview and I run weekly and monthly totals from this data, also cumulated for weekdays. I find that this gives a much better view on what actually happens than the individual days data. Then I have very interesting performance stats for weekdays, i.e. just looking at the SHARES of traffic, clicks and revenue, regardless of the absolute traffic. One would think that if I get 10% of traffic (ad impressions) on Mondays, that there should be 10% of the clicks and 10% of the revenue linked to this. But it is not like this - at least not for me. And you may be surprised when you look at the stats this way for your site. Finally, I throw in cumulated data for pageviews from the log file analyzer, total, and by weekdays. You can run this data against the Adsense values to see whether there are big differences. Ah, very interesting are 30 days averages across these values (especially revenue!). Makes you think. Anyway, it's fantastic what you can make from just four values per day. What about you and your Adsense statistics secrets?
Given how little we get to know from Adsense, what are the statistics you are looking at?
- revenue per page and per click
- total revenue, pages, clicks

Isolated and atmospheric with spectacular coastal views over Dunderhole Point, it's only 15 minutes walk from the village of Tintagel. This is the place to indulge in Arthurian myth and legend.

A poem of lesbian cyber love
For April
I have never kissed her soft red lips
that kiss me every night.
I have never held her young smooth body
that I hold and hug so tight.
I have never felt her tender breasts
that I kiss with tender lips.
I have never held her slim soft waist
that I hold when I kiss her hips.
I have never looked upon her eyes
so crystal clear and green.
The only time we ever talk
Is when we light our screen.
I see her in my dreams, of course,
each night I drift away.
To caress and hold her body
until the dawn of day.
Our naked female bodies,
laying gently side by side,
dreaming of our fantasies
and the feelings that we hide.
We have been in love forever,
or that's the way it seems,
making tender love each night
In the confines of our dreams.
Kissing, loving, gently
as we watch our dreams unfurl.
I'll love her for eternity;
my slender cyber girl.

Arlington, D.C.! Well, that's what Google maps says.
Well, it was a brave occupation while it lasted.
A reader tipped us off to the fact that Google has gone and corrected an error on Google Maps-pictured above-that listed a small portion of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as being in D.C., instead of Arlington County. The update map more accurately lists the entirety of the airport as being in Virginia, much to our chagrin.
While the airport is fully Virginia's now, it wasn't always-as we've written before, it wasn't until after the airport was built that Congress stepped in to clarify that yes, it was actually in the Old Dominion. The original jurisdictional fight stemmed from the fact that the airport was built out of land dredged up from the floor of the Potomac, and Virginia's boundary starts at its high-water mark-for legal purposes, the airport was originally D.C.'s.
But no longer.

john from the office sorry to tell u that u need to review ur history.lebanese are arabs
I thought freedom of speech was part of the democratic process. Not having your book vetted by the people you're writing about before publishing.
I love it that middle school students are participating in this discussion. My son's in seventh grade. I'm going to have him listen to this segment and read the questions when he gets home. What a great way to learn. Also nice to see how much better the questions are from the students. The adults like myself that sometimes comment are already so opinionated that we tend to tell our own opinions rather than really ask a question.
Have you ever got to the point, when you killed somebody ?
Was it hard to act like arab and to sounded like one.
How did you get into the CIA? Did They ask you questions about your Islamic background?
Brian, the Lebanese are not Arabs. Learn your history.
will you ever go back to becoming a C.I.A. agent
Was it hard to act like arab and to sounded like one.
How did it feel being pregnant, in a unairconditioned car with no food or water ? How did you survive?
Were you worried that the Marine was going to kill you?
How was it working for the CIA, did you move on with your life, and did you get your American citizenship back or did you get a new one.
What inspired you to be a CIA Agent in the past? Were there times when you had trouble overcoming obstacles as a CIA Agent?
How did you get into the CIA and FBI being an immigrant?
Would you rather be a U.S citizen or a Arabic citizen?
Did you feel like you wanted to get out and if you did, did you kill someone with regret?
Would you rather be a U.S citizen or a Arabic citizen?
How did you get into the CIA and FBI as an immigrant?
What is your back round ms nada.how did you get here?
What it was like to be in the CIA?
How did you find clues about the next attack or where did you find them plus what attacks did you find out about and prevent?
It says alot about our nation that she was exonerated. In many nations she would not have been alive to see a trial.
How did it feel doing this while you were pregnant,and were you an immigrant there?!?!?!?!?
What inspired you to be a CIA Agent in the past? Were there times where you were scared to go overcome some obstacles as an agent?
How do you feel since your not a CIA agent anymore?
Is This Your First Time Talking About Being A Former C.I.A Agent
Did the CIA know you were Islamic when they hired you?
Are you happy with not being a C.I.A agent anymore?

It's been a while since we've seen Google update their official Google Webmaster Guidelines.
Both our basic quality guidelines and many of our more specific articles (like those on links schemes or hidden text) have been reorganized and expanded...
We've also added a set of quality and technical guidelines for rich snippets, as structured markup is becoming increasingly popular.
Personally, I'm not seeing anything that we haven't heard Matt Cutts preach about before. They did add the new guidelines for rich snippets, which is interesting reading.

- Some like it smooth, and some like it rough : untangling continuous and jump components in measuring, modeling, and forecasting asset return volatility (2003)
- A rapidly growing literature has documented important improvements in volatility measurement and forecasting performance through the use of realized volatilities constructed from high-frequency returns coupled with relatively simple reduced-form time series modeling procedures. Building on recent theoretical results from Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2003c,d) for related bi-power variation measures involving the sum of high-frequency absolute returns, the present paper provides a practical framework for non-parametrically measuring the jump component in realized volatility measurements. Exploiting these ideas for a decade of high-frequency five-minute returns for the DM/$ exchange rate, the S&P500 market index, and the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield, we find the jump component of the price process to be distinctly less persistent than the continuous sample path component. Explicitly including the jump measure as an additional explanatory variable in an easy-to-implement reduced form model for realized volatility results in highly significant jump coefficient estimates at the daily, weekly and quarterly forecast horizons. As such, our results hold promise for improved financial asset allocation, risk management, and derivatives pricing, by separate modeling, forecasting and pricing of the continuous and jump components of total return variability.

- Courts and sovereign eurobonds : credibility of the judicial enforcement of repayment (2003)
- While focusing on the protection of distressed sovereigns, the current debate intended to reform the International Financial Architecture has hardly addressed the protection of creditors rights that varies among laws. I suspect however that this constitutes an essential determinant of the success of suggested solutions, especially under the contractual approach. Based on a sample of bonds issued by developing countries states in the period, January 1987 to December 1997, I find that, for given contract characteristics (e.g. listing markets and currency), the governing law is selected according to its ability to enforce repayment. However, although the New York law seems looser and incur larger enforcement costs than the England&Wales law, the former permits equivalent yearly credit amounts. I interpret this as a consequence of the existence of a larger set of valuable assets (e.g. trade) in the US that constitute implicit securities. My findings yield important implications for the reforms. In particular, provided that there exists a seemingly equivalent enforcement credibility between England and New York laws, the prompt implementation of the contractual approach solution should constitute a valuable first step toward efficient sovereign debt markets. Klassifikation: F34; G33; K33. October 2003.
- Bank loans non-linear structure of pricing : empirical evidence from sovereign debts (2003)
- The paper suggests an innovative contribution to the investigation of banking liabilities pricing contracted by sovereign agents. To address fundamental issues of banking, the study focuses on the determinants of the up-front fees (the up-front fee is a charge paid out at the signature of the loan arrangement). The investigation is based on a uniquely extensive sample of bank loans contracted or guaranteed by 58 less-developed countries sovereigns in the period from 1983 to 1997. The well detailed reports allow for the calculation of the equivalent yearly margin on the utilization period for all individual loan. The main findings suggest a significant impact of the renegotiation and agency costs on front-end borrowing payments. Unlike the sole interest spread, the all-in interest margin better takes account of these costs. The model estimates however suggest the non-linear pricing is hardly associated with an exogenous split-up intended by the borrower and his banker to cover up information. Instead the up-front payment is a liquidity transfer as described by Gorton and Kahn (2000) to compensate for renegotiation and monitoring costs. The second interesting result is that banks demand payment for all types of sovereign risk in an identical manner public debt holders do. The difference is that, unlike bond holders, bankers have the possibility to charge an up-front fee to compensate for renegotiation costs. Hence, beyond the information related issues, the higher complexity of the pricing design makes bank loan optimal for lenders on sovereign capital markets, especially relative to public debt, thus motivating for their presence. The paper contributes to the expanding literature on loan syndication and banking related issues. The study also has relevance for the investigation of the developing countries debt pricing.

- Evaluating VaR forecasts under stress : the German experience (2003)
- We present an analysis of VaR forecasts and P&L-series of all 13 German banks that used internal models for regulatory purposes in the year 2001. To this end, we introduce the notion of well-behaved forecast systems. Furthermore, we provide a series of statistical tools to perform our analyses. The results shed light on the forecast quality of VaR models of the individual banks, the regulator's portfolio as a whole, and the main ingredients of the computation of the regulatory capital required by the Basel rules. Klassifikation: K23, G28. October 2003.
- The macroeconomy and the yield curve : a nonstructural analysis (2003)
- We estimate a model with latent factors that summarize the yield curve (namely, level, slope, and curvature) as well as observable macroeconomic variables (real activity, inflation, and the stance of monetary policy). Our goal is to provide a characterization of the dynamic interactions between the macroeconomy and the yield curve. We find strong evidence of the effects of macro variables on future movements in the yield curve and much weaker evidence for a reverse influence. We also relate our results to a traditional macroeconomic approach based on the expectations hypothesis. Klassifikation: G1, E4, C5. This revision/print: October 21, 2003
- Inflation convergence after the introduction of the Euro (2003)
- Using the Johansen test for cointegration, we examine to which extent inflation rates in the Euro area have converged after the introduction of a single currency. Since the assumption of non-stationary variables represents the pivotal point in cointegration analyses we pay special attention to the appropriate identification of non-stationary inflation rates by the application of six different unit root tests. We compare two periods, the first ranging from 1993 to 1998 and the second from 1993 to 2002 with monthly observations. The Johansen test only finds partial convergence for the former period and no convergence for the latter. Klassifikation: C32, E31, F15. October 2003.
- Privacy or publicity - who drives the wheel? (2003)
- Financial markets are to a very large extent influenced by the advent of information. Such disclosures, however, do not only contain information about fundamentals underlying the markets, but they also serve as a focal point for the beliefs of market participants. This dual role of information gains further importance for explaining the development of asset valuations when taking into account that information may be perceived individually (private information), or may be commonly shared by all traders (public information). This study investigates into the recently developed theoretical structures explaining the operating mechanism of the two types of information and emphasizes the empirical testability and differentiation between the role of private and public information. Concluding from a survey of experimental studies and own econometric analyses, it is argued that most often public information dominates private information. This finding justifies central bankers´ unease when disseminating news to the markets and argues against the recent trend of demanding full transparency both for financial institutions and financial markets themselves. Klassifikation: F31, D84, D82. September 2003.
- Mergers and acquisitions in Germany : social setting and regulatory framework (2003)
- The paper describes the legal and economic environment of mergers and acquisitions in Germany and explores barriers to obtaining and executing corporate control. Various cases are used to demonstrate that resistance by different stakeholders including minority shareholders, organized labour and the government may present powerful obstacles to takeovers in Germany. In spite of the overall convergence of European takeover and securities trading laws, Germany still shows many peculiarities that make its market for corporate control distinct from other countries. Concentrated share ownership, cross shareholdings and pyramidal ownership structures are frequent barriers to acquiring majority stakes. Codetermination laws, the supervisory board structure and supermajority requirements for important corporate decisions limit the execution of control by majority shareholders. Bidders that disregard the German preference for consensual solutions and the specific balance of powers will risk their takeover attempt be frustrated by opposing influence groups.

- This paper is a draft for the chapter "German banks and banking structure" of the forthcoming book "The German financial system" edited by J.P. Krahnen and R.H. Schmidt (Oxford University Press). As such, the paper starts out with a description of past and present structural features of the German banking industry. Given the presented empirical evidence it then argues that great care has to be taken when generalising structural trends from one financial system to another. Whilst conventional commercial banking is clearly in decline in the US, it is far from clear whether the dominance of banks in the German financial system has been significantly eroded over the last decades. We interpret the immense stability in intermediation ratios and financing patterns of firms between 1970 and 2000 as strong evidence for our view that the way in which and the extent to which German banks fulfil the central functions for the financial system are still consistent with the overall logic of the German financial system. In spite of the current dire business environment for financial intermediaries we do not expect the German financial system and its banking industry as an integral part of this system to converge to the institutional arrangements typical for a market-oriented financial system.

- Initial public offerings and venture capital in Germany (2003)
- We present a survey on the role of initial public offerings (Epos) and venture capital (VC) in Germany after the Second World War. Between 1945 and 1983 IPOs hardly played a role at all and only a minor role thereafter. In addition, companies that chose an IPO were much older and larger than the average companies going public for the first time in the US or the UK. The level of IPO underpricing in Germany, in contrast, has not been fundamentally different from that in other countries. The picture for venture capital financing is not much different from that provided by IPOs in Germany. For a long time venture capital financing was hardly significant, particularly as a source of early stage financing. The unprecedented boom on the Neuer Markt between 1997 and 2000, when many small venture capital financed firms entered the market, provides a striking contrast to the preceding era. However, by US standards, the levels of both IPO and venture capital activities remained rather low even in this boom phase. The extent to which recent developments will have a lasting impact on the financing of German firms, the level of IPO activity, and venture capital financing, remains to be seen. At the time of writing, activity has come to a near stand still and the Neuer Markt has just been dissolved. The low number of IPOs and the fairly low volume of VC financing in Germany before the introduction of the Neuer Markt are a striking and much debated phenomenon. Understanding the reasons for these apparent peculiarities is vital to understanding the German financial system. The potential explanations that have been put forward range from differentces in mentality to legal and institutional impediments and the availability of alternative sources of financing. Moreover the recent literature discusses how interest groups may have benefited and influenced the situation. These groups include politicians, unions/workers, managers/controlling-owners of established firms as well as banks. Klassifikation: G10, G24, G14.

"I texted our Chairman Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal of the ACB regarding some issues which I was not very happy with, and stated that if they don't let me work without interfering I will rather leave the job with honour and dignity," said Kabir Khan.
Kabir was then told to leave two days after sending the message. "It was not an official resignation but two days later I got a letter from our CEO Hamid Shenwari that my resignation has been accepted and I replied saying okay."
According to Afgcric sources this action was planned long ahead, Hamid Shinwari and other ACB members held a meeting just at the end of WCL1 to get rid of Kabir Khan, At that time the Chairman Dr.Omar Zakhilwal didn't approve their plans.
However, Kabir Khan says the interferences from the board occurred during the recently completed tour of Scotland. "During the Intercontinental Cup they at the office were not happy that we did not enforce the follow-on against the Scottish team when Rashid Latif [the batting coach], the captain and I decided to bat for a bit of time and we won the game."
The tension apparently increased following the second ODI, which Afghanistan lost. "In the last ODI the issue of why we batted first [was challenged]. If they in the office know so much about cricket then there is no point in us doing a job and getting paid. I cannot call Kabul after every toss and ask my CEO what to do," Kabir said. These incidents are not the first time Kabir believed the board was getting in the way of his job. "When I wanted to add young boys and make a future team, the selection committee was giving me boys in their thirties. I was not involved in the selection meetings which I should [and] boys were dropped for no reasons."
Kabir put the blame on the ACB chairman, Hazrat Omar Zakhilwal, for not giving a proper explanation as to what has happened. "The chairman should have at least asked me why I wrote the text, before discussing and deciding with the person who I was not feeling comfortable with. He just had a meeting with CEO and listened to his side of story."
Unfortunately, Kabir doesn't see himself returning to coach Afghanistan. "First of all I will rather find another job as things will not be the same, but if I do then it will totally on my terms and simple ones – I will need full authority of decisions and say in selections. The board can ask me questions or sack me after the tournament but during the tour no interference in cricket matters."
Kabir maintained that his priority was building the Afghanistan team. "It's not about me - it is about the Afghan team and I will never want them to suffer - I cannot see people ruining the hard work we have done for the last few years just for their personal reasons. I enjoyed every single moment of my job and the respect that I got through coaching the Afghan team," he said. Afghanistan fans will never forget the hard-work Kabir Khan has done as coach.
During his time as coach Afghanistan have gained ODI status, played in the World T20, totally outplayed all other teams in ACC tournaments and massively improved their all-round game. His departure now raises questions about whether batting coach Rashid Latif, who is very close to Kabir, will stay on in his job. "I came to the ACB on recommendation of Kabir Khan, I am not sure whether I will continue to collaborate with the ACB if Kabir no longer is a part of it."
Afghanistan fans have also been shocked by the decisions of ACB. "This is to unfortunate to see that someone who took our team out of ashes is today being forced to leave the squad. Shinwary SHAME ON YOU" said Ahmad Safi on our facebook page.
We at Afgcric are encouraging all the fans to submit their message for Kabir bellow this article, which we'll send to him.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
While Allison struggles to decipher this unclear message, she is, as the title suggests, unexpectedly dismounted through a series of events. Not only is she unclear about what God is trying to tell her, but she must once again deal with the pain of the past - both hers and the Sisters - as she fights to keep her foster son, Desmond. After Desmond's mom was killed and his father, Sultan, was presumed dead, Allison expected her adoption of Desmond to be clean and easy. However, a relative shows up trying to take Desmond from her, which helps Allison realize what God must feel like when he is about to lose one of his children.
Fortunately, Allison is not alone on this journey. The well-developed characters introduced in The Reluctant Prophet - Chief, Hank, Mercedes, Bonner, India, and others - return in Unexpected Dismounts with just as much support for Allison's nudges as concern for the outcome of the adoption hearing. With the help of these friends, God's perfect timing, and a young attorney named Kade Capelli, Allison finds the courage to face all of her unexpected dismounts.
One of the scenes I particularly like is when Allison is speaking with Hank about not being sure what God was nudging her to do. Was it what God wanted or what she wanted? Hank reminds her that as long as her heart is aligned with God's, perhaps they are one and the same thing.
As in her other novels, Nancy Rue's voice resonates throughout the story, combining just enough humor and sincerity to hook readers and make the characters come to life. Readers cannot stop reading until they find out whether or not Allison gets to keep Desmond; if Ophelia, a new addition to the Sacrament House, will stick with her decision to turn her life around; if Zelda will come back; and whether Chief feels the same way about Allison as she does about him. Of course, Rue saves some of the biggest twists for the end, which only increases readers' eagerness to get to the last page.
Overall, I think Unexpected Dismounts is a well-written novel that allows readers to peer into the heart of someone trying to follow Gods will and sincerely listening to the counsel of her friends. Proverbs 15:22 (NIV) states, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed." Similarly, Proverbs 16:3 (NIV) says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Allison lives out both of these every day. And though there are some bumps in the road, she trusts God through it all.
This book is definitely worth reading. And if you haven't read the first one yet, go get it and read them both.
