The newly released IMS Research report, Market Opportunities for Internet Video to the TV - 2010 edition, reveals that global revenues of connected TVs will reach $29.3 billion in 2011, accounting for 58% of global revenues for Internet TV equipment in 2011.
Rebecca Kurlak, author of the report, states "At CES 2010, CE companies appeared to be largely pushing the 3D concept as a feature in their display offerings. However, a larger part of the picture that wasn't as heavily addressed is still the growing opportunity to provide consumers with access to more content, and in this case, OTT content."
Kurlak continues, "Although many of the TV manufacturers have committed to manufacturing at least 25%-30% of their TV product lines with connectivity in 2010, IMS Research forecasts that 12.5% of 2010 global TVs shipped will have connectivity."
Kurlak believes this is mainly due to two factors:
1) TV manufacturers that were interviewed for the study stated that their first half of 2010 sales would largely influence the second half of 2010's production schedules
2) The economy is still in recovery mode, and TV manufacturers may be more optimistic regarding 2010 production schedules than they should be. In fact, IMS believes that 2011 connected TVs shipped will hit the 30%, a year later than expected by TV manufacturers.
Since Blu-ray manufacturers have been quick to incorporate content libraries into their offerings, IMS believes that TV manufacturers will follow suit and address content partnerships this year. Before 3D viewing becomes a necessity, IMS Research anticipates that consumers will demand access to other avenues of content. By 2015, the research firm believers more than 463 million households will have the ability to view Internet video on their TVs.

There was no scarcity of upbeat dividend activity last week, and the banks led the charge. Among the heavy hitters were New York Stock Exchange–listed Wells Fargo WFC 0.5711127487103905% Wells Fargo & Co.

The trio had gotten a green light last March from the Federal Reserve to boost payouts as part of their current capital plans.
With $1.4 trillion in assets, 161-year-old Wells Fargo enriched its quarterly common payout 14%, to 25 cents a share from 22 cents, for a current 2.8% yield. That's worth $632 million more cash annually to investors.
The bank has paid dividends continuously since 1939. Prior to the nation's housing and financial crisis, Wells Fargo was distributing 34 cents a share, but, in March 2009, it slashed its payout 85%, to a nickel a share, saving it $5 billion a year. That's where the dividend stayed for two years, until the bank declared a 12-cent quarterly and then a hike to 22 cents in April 2012.
San Francisco–based Wells is the nation's fourth-largest bank by assets and its biggest private-mortgage lender. CEO John Stumpf said the new dividend reflects "the confidence we have in our company's performance," adding that "we remain committed to returning more capital to our shareholders." Rivals Bank of America and Citigroup still pay just a penny a share each.
Wells posted record fourth-quarter profit of $4.9 billion, or 91 cents a share. Stumpf in a CNBC interview said the housing market has "turned the corner" and that the improvement has had a multiplier effect. However, he cautioned that the economic recovery suffers from uncertainty.
Shares of Wells Fargo change hands close to their 52-week high of $36.60, set on Sept. 14. The No. 1 stockholder is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway BRKA 0.1726533309953195% Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Wells repurchased some 42 million of its shares in the fourth quarter.
North Carolina's BB&T, with $184 billion in assets, sweetened its quarterly common dividend 15%, to 23 cents a share from 20 cents. That's worth an extra $84 million to holders yearly and gives the stock a 3% yield. Dividends have been paid without interruption since 1903.
In May 2009, BB&T snapped a 37-year string of consecutive payout enhancements with a 68% cut in its quarterly, to 15 cents a share from 47 cents. Roughly two years later, the rate went to 16 cents and then to 20 cents a year after that.
Benefiting from better credit and loan growth, BB&T posted a 29% surge in fourth-quarter earnings from a year earlier, to $506 million, or 71 cents a share. It achieved record net income for the year as a whole of $1.9 billion, or $2.70 a share. With corporate roots stretching back to 1872, BB&T is the nation's ninth-biggest bank, based on deposits. Actually, it was one of the few large banks to score a profit every quarter over the past five years. CEO Kelly King said BB&T anticipates loan growth between 2% and 4% this quarter, and that number could grow later in 2013, depending on the economy.
Jefferies & Co. rates the stock Hold. Standard & Poor's opinion is Strong Buy. BB&T currently fetches about $31 a share.
Comerica, which is chiefly a commercial lender, is putting its dividend on the road back from being slashed during the financial meltdown to a nickel a share from 66 cents. Payouts doubled in November 2010 and then were boosted to 15 cents in March 2012. Last week's increase was to 17 cents a share, which will cost the Dallas-based bank about $15 million more a year. Comerica credited the hike to its "strong capital position and solid financial performance." Yielding 2% with the new dividend, the shares were recently quoted at about their $34 52-week high.
The company bought back 10.1 million shares in 2012, and that, combined with dividends, made for a return of 79% of net income to investors. Dividends have been ongoing since 1936.
CEO Ralph Babb says the bank is benefiting from its strong position in Texas and other growth markets, with car dealers and energy companies taking out loans. Fourth-quarter profit jumped 35%.

A power outage at Wal-Mart Sunday sent several customers away from the Cottonwood supercenter without their purchases.
The power went down around 5:10 p.m. Sunday, June 15. The outage lasted for about two hours, until APS returned the power around 7 p.m. Meanwhile, employees ushered customers out of the doors and scrambled to cover the refrigerated cases in the grocery section.
"It caused us big problems here. We had to close the store down," Store Manager Jason Ferris said.
As near as could be figured, Ferris said the problem was something with the store's electrical box.
"APS couldn't explain it. It could have been a number of things," he said
"It was like somebody just shut it off. We could find no reason for the breaker to have tripped. There was no storm, nor excessive heat," Basham, who was inside the Wal-Mart when the power went out, he said.
He did say the serviceman told him while he was working he saw two teenage boys sitting on the guardrail above the equipment drinking soda pop and watching him, but did not think anything of it at the time.
"It was curious to have those two boys sitting there watching," Basham said.
The serviceman fitted the equipment with an APS lock and Wal-Mart attached its own lock.
"Even small companies need to secure their service equipment. We don't want this to happen again," Basham said.
While APS worked on the power supply, the open refrigeration cases inside the store, like dairy and meats, were covered with plastic and cardboard to keep the cool in, and the doors on the freezer cases were kept closed.
"We do training in how to do this quickly in case the power shuts down. When those cases are covered like that, they last approximately four hours. On the freezers, we couldn't let our customers open them so we had to kick them out," Ferris said.
After the power returned, Ferris said, the employees checked the food in all of the cases and it was still cold enough.
"There was no product loss — just loss of sales and inconvenience to our customers," Ferris said.
He was not sure exactly how many customers were in the store at the time. The store reopened a few minutes after the power was restored.

Seeking Your StarMarch 20, 2014Some stars burn so brightly, they burst before they see the cosmos unfold. You shared the warmth of your glow with as many as you could before you rose too high for the sky to handle and scattered sacred stardust across it. Your legacy is seen in constellations.A few days laterMom called me to the window today to show me a lone star in a cloudless sky. She said she thought of you.Mother's Day, 2014Nana told me at lunch today that she heard footsteps in the room where she keeps your urn. She went upstairs to greet Papa several times, thinking the footsteps were his, but found him sleeping. Our waitress gave each woman at our booth a carnation. Outside, sunlight adorned our skin and held us.I could have sworn I felt you holding us, too.June 21, 2014I took a plane out of Chicago to get back home. The sun set mid-flight, tie-dying the sky in orange and red. As we rose over the clouds, my jetlagged eyes rested upon a lone star pinned against
The Danger of Untold StoriesI believe in words. I believe in voices, the unique cries of human beings as they pour their soul out into the sky. But most of all, I believe in stories.Stories, be they written or spoken or painted onto the walls of caves, reaffirm our humanity. They give us back our own heartbeat, that dull pulse of blood, but more than that they give us our minds. They let us reach back and see where we've been, what we felt, what we believed. They form a mirror, let us see who we are, who we were.And I believe that everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. But more and more I'm seeing that only some stories get told. You have books for children fully admitting that people have different bodies…but where is the admission of different minds? Why do no main characters have mental illness, or attention deficit, autism or dyslexia? Where are the movies about synesthetes, those with OCD, those battling depression?This is not just a problem of children's literature, it e
Bard's LamentMy steps are attached to the ground that holds your kingdom. I saw you once upon a time, when I first came with my humble lyre to play some joy and some pain, and I never left.I wonder ; forgotten princess, could the comb you once held in your hand now untangle the torment of my mind?I wonder; does the mirror that reflected your eyes still stand unbroken; and could it take me where wanders your mind?I wonder; did the two thousand steps of your castle porch kiss your feet when you climbed them for the last time?I wonder; do the walls cry at night seeing you forever asleep?And I, the poorest of all minstrels, I shall destroy my instrument and use its strings to make a bow. And send my everything to you, on an arrow, since I cannot climb up to you holding on your locks, like Rapunzel, or fighting the dragon like Sleeping Beauty. I will send my most beautiful scores, and maybe the touch of my heart's ink will at last wake you up.I will sit under your balcony, on the very spot
Dead Man's SwitchIn control, then not -Sudden loss of grip.AccelerationHeadlong to where?Blurred reality,Details lost, smudged, streaked.Careening; no system ofIncapacitation.Memories flash,Movements stiffen.Throat parches,ThoughtsruntogetherNo dead man's switch,On a fast track -With or without a god?to oblivion.
Falling Into StarlightI am falling. I have been caught by a monster which cannot be seen, but for the path of destruction it carves through the cosmos. It pulls me in, and as I plummet the universe bends and folds back on itself, and for a brief moment I can see everything that is and ever was.In the twisted relay of light I see the nebula that was my birthing ground. Its radiance surrounds me with heat and color. Bursting clouds and arching forms in writhing wings of gossamer, painted with hydrogen and illuminated from within by the glow of its children.Mother nebula had formed me, along with my sisters, from parts of herself. Coaxing and coalescing until we were strong enough enough to shine on our own. Then she breathed into us life and our hearts began to flutter with the embers of fusion.In our mother's embrace, I played with my sisters, plunging into misted veils and swinging through spangled swaths of life-dust. She would tell us tales of the far reaches of the galaxy, where the giants dance

From the Archive: HBO's "Game Change" shows John McCain's presidential campaign recklessly picking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate and then learning she lacked basic knowledge about the world. However, as Robert Parry reported in 2008, the campaign still went for the jugular against Barack Obama.
Tag Archive for Robert Parry
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories in February explained how the U.S. public is getting misled to war on Iran, how key Republicans are waging war on women and the environment, how the Right has distorted the Founders and the U.S. Constitution, and more.
Will Netanyahu Defy Obama on Iran?
Exclusive: President Obama sent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu home with a warning that Israel cannot count on U.S. support if it unilaterally bombs Iran. Top neocons are fuming and Netanyahu must weigh the risk of defying Obama on Iran and trying to deny him reelection, writes Robert Parry.
How the Right's Smear Machine Started
Exclusive: The Right's attack machine, which these days questions President Obama's birthplace and smears Georgetown student Sandra Fluke over contraceptives, arose in the wake of the Vietnam War and Watergate with young conservatives thinking they were the real victims, thus justifying whatever they did, reports Robert Parry.
Spring Fund Goal: $25,000
From Editor Robert Parry: As the presidential election campaign heats up and the war drums over Iran grow louder, we continue to fill a major hole in American journalism by reporting on difficult realities, both the serious political stakes in November and the geopolitical risks of a new war in the Middle East.
Romney's Made-up History on Iran
Exclusive: In facing down Iran as U.S. president, Mitt Romney says he would be guided by the experience of Ronald Reagan threatening Iran with a military strike if it didn't free 52 Americans held hostage during Jimmy Carter's presidency. But Romney's historical precedent is a fantasy, writes Robert Parry.
Sloppy Comments on Iran's 'Nukes'
Exclusive: The New York Times and other U.S. news outlets failed miserably to tell the truth before the Iraq War – and they aren't doing much better as new war clouds build over Iran. Journalists lazily repeat false assumptions like Iran's purported threat to attack Israel with a nuclear bomb, Robert Parry writes.
Profiting Off Nixon's Vietnam 'Treason'
Exclusive: The notion of Wall Street bankers meeting in private to discuss profiting off a plot to extend the Vietnam War and risk the lives of thousands of American soldiers may sound like a conspiracy movie script, but it is a tragic reality reflected in once secret White House documents, reports Robert Parry.
LBJ's 'X' File on Nixon's 'Treason'
Special Report: In the dusty files of Lyndon Johnson's presidential library in Austin, Texas, once secret documents and audiotapes tell a dark and tragic story of how Richard Nixon's team secured the White House in 1968 by sabotaging peace talks that might have ended the Vietnam War four years earlier, Robert Parry reports.
Confusion Over the First Amendment
Exclusive: The Blunt Amendment went down to a narrow defeat in the Senate on Thursday, but its contention that employers must be allowed to impose their religious beliefs on the medical insurance choices of their employees will remain a hot political topic – one dressed deceptively in the First Amendment, writes Robert Parry.

Who is Joe?
Joe is everyman. He is you, he is me, he is the guy next door, the gal next door. He is José, Giuseppe, Joseph and all female renditions of the name. Joe is the common thread among us and yet he is one of a kind. He is friendly, unpretentious, straightforward with quietly discriminating tastes. Joe has a robust sense of humor – he loves to laugh, even at himself. He loves good food, good drink and good company.
Welcome to Joe's!
What really distinguishes Joe's is our passion for a sustainable, local food supply. Roland and Sheila established Joe's in 2002 as a diner – our intent being to offer an unpretentious comfortable atmosphere for locals who demand high quality local food and uncompromising quality of ingredients offered at a fair price.
We are indeed the biggest restaurant buyer of Farmers Market goods in Santa Fe. The farmers say this and our expenditures prove it. We now spend well over $100,000 a year on locally produced foods. From 2008 to 2012 Joe's increased these purchases 340% (from $30,000 to over $100,000.)
What our guests demand is clearly in line with our passion for a local healthy sustainable food supply. This is what drives us to continue in this direction.
Here is a partial list of local ingredients we use: grass finished NM lamb, bison and Sweetgrass Co-op ground beef; also chicken livers, chile, eggs, NM grown organic flour, feta, house made mozzarella, fruits, veggies, sprouts, wines, beers and breads and homemade desserts.

Executives at Biman
Bangladesh Airlines say they still don't know why their flight from
Dhaka to JFK was turned away before entering US airspace
The DC-10 was en route from Dhaka, flying through Brussels, when
the flight crew entered Canadian airspace. That's when they got
word from the Civil Aviation Authority of Canada that they wouldn't
be allowed to land in New York.
Well, now what? The plane apparently didn't have enough fuel on
board to return to Brussels, so it wound up landing in Montreal at
about 6:30 Saturday morning.
The 257 passengers were taken to a local hotel... where Biman
Bangladesh helped them make arrangements to get to New York.
Bangladesh's New Nation reports that now, Biman wants some
answers from the FAA regarding what could have led the FAA to
divert their plane. The FAA had earlier written the airline a
letter, saying it would lose its right to operate in the US if it
didn't improve the safety of both its flights and its
Biman added Canadian authorities inspected the plane, and its
records... and found it to be safe.

"I ordered this invitation for my nieces wedding shower. They turned out beautiful! I was able to customize the color on the utensils to match her wedding color scheme – which was perfect! They arrived very quickly and the paper stock they used was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!"
"I ordered these in pink for my best friend's bridal shower brunch and they look gorgeous. I ordered them on the pearl shimmer paper and added her fiancé's name under her name. The invitations turned out just stunning. Zero complaints and they arrived faster than expected! LOVE!"
"The invitations came in less than a week after I ordered on line. The paper, text and colors were perfect. I had a picture put on the back and it looks wonderful! My return address was put on the back of each envelope and looked nice."
"Beautiful card for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. Changed the background color to navy and the rest of the colors really pop. Super cute! Everyone loved it!"

Yesterday, 18-year-old South African runner Caster Semenya won the gold medal in the women's 800m at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin. Watch the video, above. She was pretty happy. No one else was. Instead, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) have decided that she might be a man, and are subjecting her to some (presumably humiliating) gender tests. You'd think the question "have you got a shlong?" followed by the answer "no" would be enough. Apparently not.
Curiously, she's not the first athlete this has happened to. Earlier this year, German tennis player Sarah Gronert had similar tests. Apparently she was born with all possible forms of genitalia, but had her cock lopped off and is now legally a woman. Here's how she rolls:
In the 1920s and '30s, Polish runner Stanislawa Walasiewicz's had her femininity questioned when she set 51 Polish records, 18 world records and 8 European records. When she died, an autopsy showed she had a willy, but that she had XX and XY chromosomes. She was a man and a woman. Here she is in action:

A Huge Disappointment
I was so excited to get the 'new' shabby chic book. I ordered it on line, tracked it for a week and then waited till the moment was right to sit in my overstuffed white chair and dig in. Boy was I disappointed. The book was basically a tribute to the 'stars' who buy out Shabby chic because its in. Page after page of shots from J-Lo's restaurant to Pamela Andersons sons bday party. NOTHING chic about these people. Very sorry I bought the book...Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Hey everyone I have my first infection. After about 20 brews under my belt this showed up in my newest Porter. I made it and it sat for 4 weeks in the primary and after one week in the secondary this happened almost overnight, it has nothing on top of it up until last check on Thursday. It doesn't smell bad, but not super good either. I have not tasted it. Final Gravity was high at 1.02. My question is two-fold.
1. If it is infected as I suspect, is the bottom salvageable, I was planning on bottling all of it and letting them sit for a month or more. I read on here that you can save it young and drink it, but there is almost no was unless I keg it and even then, it would take me a month or better to give it away and drink it. So what do I do? Can I bottle off the bottom? Keg it? or dump it? Will it spread once kegged/bottled? Gushers?
2. How do I sanitize all my stuff, obviously something is infected in my tubing, ditch it all, chlorine bath? Right now I use star san in proper quantities, and I always thought I was anal about sanitation. (guess not). I am planning on ditching my tubing and chlorine bath my other things for about an hour in a 5 gal bucket.
Any help would be great.
Hard to tell what is going on. Not sure I would be worried. Check gravity, and taste sample, and come back in a week and see if anything has changed.
Might be a Brett infection ..... if it is, ride it out, it might be a great beer.
Definitely infected. Looks like the start of lacto bugs. If it tastes good now, drink up.
Those images look like the effect of Lactic acid bacteria.
This bacteria is the most frequently encountered beerspoilage bacteria, and can render beer undrinkable due to the production of lactic acid, diacetyl, and turbidity.
How does it taste?
I don't think you need to change your cleaning processes. Probably you are doing your manipulations like us, in your kitchen so it's normal to have contaminations sometimes, don't worry!
I agree -- it looks like lacto. Rack underneath and give it a taste. If it tastes good you have a couple choices. You can let it keep souring or you can bottle it. IF it is only lacto then you should be fine to bottle without creating bombs. The problem though is that brett might show up later and decide to get busy which probably would create bombs over time. Brett is probably not going to show up in a month so I think you might be ok if you bottled it and drank it right away. However it's always a risk.
If you can afford to wait I say ride it out for 6-12 months. You will have a nice sour porter. If you don't like it I'm sure you'll be able to find other brewers happy to trade you beers for it.
Thanks for all the input, 2 days later the infection doesn't seem to have grown. However, This is my first rodeo, so I have not idea. Here is my plan of action. I would love to let it sit for 12 months, but that's a long time and I am impatient.
Haven't tasted the beer yet, but tonight I will taste the beer (and if it's good) and begin to bottle it. Couple questions. My bucket I use to bottle doesn't have a spigot so I just auto-syphon it. My bucket has never seen infection, so should I put the infected beer that I rack off the bottom into the "clean bucket"
Now for preventative measures, right now the things that have touched this beer after pitching yeast are: Auto-syphon, tubing, primary, and secondary, and airlocks (didn't reall "touch" it). Do I throw out all of it or can I, wash them and let those sit in bleach solution then rinse, rinse rinse, and a final star san? Also I am gonna throw out tubing!
Thanks for all the help.
So, I bottled it today bottled the bottom 2/3. It tasted ok not sour, not great either. I took extra precautions to sanitize and I'm still unsure about the auto siphon if o can still reuse it I might bleach it, is that a good idea?
I'll keep everyone notified if after 3 weeks, to see if its good.
Well, bleach is a good sanitizer in the proper proportions. But make sure to really rinse it well with hot, hot water. Not boiling, but where you wouldnt want your hand in it. My thought would be, replace your soft tubing. Your autosiphon you should be able to save.

Just Hold On
Back in the 60's, I was driving our old 1951 GMC pickup and my little eight-year-old brother, Alan, was in the passenger's seat. As I slowly rounded the corner on the old dirt rode, the driver's door came open and I fell out. Alan heard the noise, looked over and realized no one was driving the truck. However, I had held on to the door. I was dragging along side the truck and finally was able to get my foot on the running board. I grabbed the side of the truck, and then got back into the driver's seat. I put my hands on the steering wheel and got back on track!

Recently China has laid claim to having the largest "supercave" in the world. They call it the Maio Room. It is 30 times larger than the old Houston Astrodome.
In 1994 I visited what I would call the greatest "supercave" of all time. It was a garden tomb in Jerusalem. It was not the largest hole in the earth compared to others like the Maio Room, but for three days that tomb held the one who took on the sins of the whole world. Oh, and by the way, the tomb was empty.

Most of us saw the Blood Moon and the Eclipse this morning. Especially if you are an early riser or you are driving in to work. Let's take a look at this phenomenon from a Biblical standpoint:
NASHVILLE, TN, October 6th, 2014—On October 8, 2014, millions of people around the globe will witness the second of four consecutive "blood moons" – total lunar eclipses. This is a rare astronomically occurrence, according to Pastor John Hagee in his New York Times bestseller, Four Blood Moons (Worthy Publishing). Hagee said, "Not since 1967 – and only four times in the past five hundred years – has a Tetrad of total solar eclipses corresponded to the Jewish Feasts, which historically has signaled the beginning of dramatic events that change the course of world history. This series of blood moons is no different."
Recent headlines tell of total chaos in the Middle East since the first blood moon back on April 15. The terrorist group ISIS continues to grow in number and strength, crushing resistance across Iraq with extreme violence as it destroys churches and mosques, kills or drives from their homes anyone who does not convert to its brand of Islam, and kidnaps and beheads citizens of countries that dare to stand against it.
Unrest in the Middle East was predicted in Bible prophecy, writes Hagee. And even more history-changing occurrences will come after the second of this four blood moon series and the remaining two set to appear in 2015. The intensity is building and it's easy to recognize all around the world.
"God has absolute control of the sun, moon, and stars. He has used them in the past to send signals to humanity that something big was about to happen," said Pastor Hagee."The heavens are still God's billboard that sends signals to us today—but are we watching for them?"
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea . . . When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." —Luke 21: 25, 28 niv

AUSTIN—In a decision by Judge Jennifer Elrod, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit today lifted the district court's injunction, allowing HB 2 to immediately go into effect. Lauren Bean, spokeswoman for the Texas Attorney General's Office, released the following statement:
"This decision is a vindication of the careful deliberation by the Texas Legislature to craft a law to protect the health and safety of Texas women."
A federal appeals court Thursday allowed Texas to immediately begin enforcing tough new abortion restrictions that will effectively close all but seven abortion facilities in America's second most-populous state.
A panel of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court in New Orleans stayed a lower judge's ruling while it considers the overall constitutionality of key portions of Texas' sweeping 2013 abortion law, which Republican Gov. Rick Perry and other conservatives say is designed to protect women's health.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled in August that part of the law requiring Texas clinics to spend millions of dollars on hospital-level upgrades was less about safety than making access to abortion difficult.
Yeakel's ruling in Austin suspended the upgrades requirement. But Texas is appealing, and asked the appeals court to let it enforce the law during that process — clearing the way for the panel's ruling.
Allowing to go forward the rules on hospital-level upgrades — including mandatory operating rooms and air filtration systems — would shutter more than a dozen clinics across Texas. It means only abortion facilities will remain open in the Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the Dallas-Fort Worth areas.
None will be left along the Texas-Mexico border or outside any of the state's largest urban areas.
Meanwhile, some clinics have already closed after another part of the 2013 law required doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. That portion of the law has already been upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit, where the state is now seeking a second outright reversal.
Out of the Darkness
Fred, my son Mark and I were deer hunting. The two of them went one direction from the camp, the first morning, and some other hunters dropped me off in the opposite direction. When I was through hunting I decided to walk back to camp. That evening I walked back again. However, it seemed like I would never get back to camp.
Mark asked me if it was a very long walk? I said, "Well I can tell you this, son, it seemed twice as far in the dark as it did in the light!"
"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth." (Isaiah 42:16)

As I sat down at home for lunch with my wife, I looked at her, reached over and took off her glasses and said, "Why do you have on my reading glasses?"
"Well, that explains a lot! I've cleaned them twice and even turned on more lights and still couldn't see. I was beginning to think I needed a new prescription!" She said.
Has a wrong view blinded you to the things of God? Jesus offers sight to all who will see, just like He did for the blind man in John 9:25, who testified, "One thing I know: Once I was blind, but now I see!"

US mortgage rates decline to near record lowsThe Associated Press | December 28,2012WASHINGTON The average rate on the U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage last week dipped closer to the lowest on record, a trend that is making home buying more affordable and also enabling more Americans to refinance their loans.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on a 30-year loan declined to 3.35 percent from 3.37 percent last week. Thats not far from the 3.31 percent rate of about a month ago, the lowest on records dating to 1971.
The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage was unchanged at 2.65 percent. The record low is 2.63 percent.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 3.66 percent this year, Freddie Mac said, the lowest annual average in 65 years.
Frank Nothaft, chief economist at Freddie Mac, said the average 30-year rate has fallen 0.6 percentage points this year. That would save a homeowner about $98,000 in interest payments over the life of a $200,000 loan, he said.
The Federal Reserve is purchasing about $85 billion each month in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in an effort to push down long-term interest rates.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department said that sales of new homes jumped 4.4 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 377,000. That is the fastest pace in more than two and a half years and the latest sign the housing recovery is sustainable.
Low mortgage rates and steady hiring gains have encouraged more people to buy homes. Home owners may also put their homes up for sale if they feel confident they can sell at a good price.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. The average doesnt include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for 30-year loans was 0.7 point, unchanged from last week. The fee for 15-year loans was also unchanged at 0.7 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage ticked down to 2.70 percent from 2.71 percent last week. The fee was also unchanged at 0.7 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage rose to 2.56 percent from 2.52 percent. The fee for one-year adjustable-rate loans rose to 0.5 point from 0.4 point.MORE IN National / World BusinessLOS ANGELES Its back, and its back on a scale that is well matched to this car-centric city.
