15 Year Mortgage Rates as Low as 2.25% with 2 Points on a Refinance
Average mortgage rates have hit a series of record lows all year long and will continue to make new record lows in the beginning of 2013. This morning the Mortgage Bankers Association released their Weekly Application Survey which showed 15 year mortgage rates hitting another record average low of 2.86 percent for the week that ended on November 30, 2012, down from the prior week's average rate of 2.86 percent.
Current refinance rates on 15 year conforming loans are even lower than the MBA average. 15 year mortgage refinance rates are averaging 2.83 percent. You can find many lenders offering rates below the averages, right now the lowest 15 year rates on our tables are as low as 2.25 percent with points. If you rather not pay points you can also find lenders quoting 15 year refi rates as low as 2.50 percent.
30 year conventional mortgage rates tied a record low in the MBA survey this week. The average 30 year mortgage rate declined to 3.52 percent with 0.41 mortgage points, down from the last week's average 30 year rate of 3.53 percent with 0.40 points. Today's mortgage rates on 30 year conforming loans are even lower averaging 3.40 percent.
If you live in the state of California and are looking for a loan to refinance your current mortgage you can find rates as low as 2.75 percent with 1.50 points. We also have many other lenders offering 30 year refinancing rates below 3.00 percent with points in California and all the other states. The lowest 30 year rate without points is at 3.00 percent, still well below the average rate.
Average 30 year FHA mortgage rates in the MBA survey were at 3.34 percent, matching an all-time record low. Average discount points on FHA loans were at 0.62 points, down from the prior week's average of 0.65 points. Average 5 year adjustable mortgage rates were at 2.62 percent with 0.40 points, an increase from the prior week's average of 2.60 percent with 0.37 points.
There are many lenders quoting 5 year adjustable refinance mortgage rates well below the average of 2.60 percent. Current Texas refinance rates on our 5 year adjustable rate list can be found as low as 1.875 percent with points, the lowest 5 year adjustable rate without points on our Texas list is at 2.25 percent.
Lower fixed mortgage rates helped spur demand for mortgage loans. The MBA's Market Composite Index, which measures mortgage loan application volume, was up 4.5 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. The MBA's Refinance Index, which measures loan demand for refinancing loans, was up 6 percent from the previous week. The MBA"s seasonally adjusted Purchase Index, a measure of loan demand for home purchases, increased 0.1 percent from one week earlier.

Alongside the local currency, the riel, Cambodia has assimilated the US dollar into its economy, a situation that began with UNTAC in the early 1990s, when high-earning troops stationed in the country began spending their dollar salaries. Today you can use the dollar and riel interchangeably in all but a few cases.
Riel notes (there are no riel coins, nor is US coinage used in Cambodia) are available in denominations of 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000. New notes were introduced in 2002, and now circulate alongside older notes and can be used interchangeably; you may also be passed an old 200 riel note, which is valid although no new notes of this denomination are being issued. The exchange rate is stable at around 4000 riel to the dollar; the best rates can be had in Phnom Penh, usually around Psar Thmei.
You can pay for most things solely in dollars, or solely in riel, or with a mixture of the two currencies; the larger the amount the more likely it is that the price will be quoted in dollars – note that the exchange rate when paying for dollar services in riel is inferior to the rate at the money changer by a few percent. Generally, you'll be charged in dollars for accommodation, when shopping in supermarkets and malls or eating in Western restaurants, and when paying for air tickets and boat fares. In markets, at noodle shops and food stalls, and when using local transport (such as motos, tuk-tuks, buses and pick-ups) prices are generally in riel (unless you wish to hire transport for the day, in which case you're likely to be quoted a dollar price). Things get a bit more confused near the Thai border, where people prefer to deal in Thai baht, or at Bavet, the Vietnamese border crossing where you may be quoted in dong. If you don't have baht you can generally pay in US dollars or riel, though you might end up paying fractionally more – you can change riel and dollars into baht at banks and local money changers.
When paying in dollars, change will usually be given back in dollars for larger amounts, while for small sums and fractions of dollars you'll be given riel.
Prices at deluxe hotels, shops, and all food stalls, noodle shops and restaurants are fixed, as are fares for flights, bus journeys and boat trips. However, when shopping in markets, taking motos, tuk-tuks or cyclos and hiring a car, bargaining is pretty much expected. Mid-range hotel prices can often be negotiated, although at the budget end, guesthouse owners will seldom budge on price, preferring to leave the room empty.
Carrying your money
Old fashioned as it is, the safest way to carry your money is still as US-dollar travellers' cheques; with those from American Express the best known.
The usual fee for travellers'-cheque sales is one or two percent, though this may be waived if you buy the cheques through a bank where you have an account. It pays to get a selection of denominations. Make sure to keep the purchase agreement and a record of cheque serial numbers safe and separate from the cheques themselves. In the event that cheques are lost or stolen, the issuing company will expect you to report the loss forthwith, though none of the issuing companies is represented in Cambodia.
Instead of using a bank debit card you could consider a pre-paid travel money card from one of many providers, which can be loaded with an amount of money in a currency of your choice ($US), and then used in ATMs or to pay for services the same way as a credit or debit card; these have the security of not being associated with your bank account. Cards are usually issued free and are valid for a number of years (depending on the provider); many can be topped up by phone or internet while you are away. However, you will incur transaction charges when you use them, so check this with the issuer.
Arriving in Cambodia there are ATMs at both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap inter-national airports and in the border areas at Poipet, Bavet and Koh Kong, so you can get $US cash as soon as you arrive. To change travellers' cheques, however, you'll need to get to a bank. Note also that unless you have obtained a Cambodian visa in advance, you'll need $20 in cash to buy one on arrival.
Credit cards, banks and ATMs
An increasing number of places accept credit cards, typically mid- and upper-range hotels and Western-oriented restaurants and shops in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. While the use of credit cards is increasing it is not as prevalent as in the West; payment by card may attract a four-percent surcharge.
You can get a cash advance on Visa or MasterCard at banks and exchange bureaus in Phnom Penh, Battambang, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, and at branches of the Canadia and ANZ Royal banks in most major towns. Acleda Bank (pronounced A-See-Lay-Dah) has branches all over the country but only accepts Visa. There are now ATMs in most major towns; note, though, that your money will be dispensed in US dollars. It's worth remembering that all cash advances are treated as loans, with interest accruing daily from the date of withdrawal; there may be a transaction fee (or two) on top of this.
Banking hours throughout Cambodia are generally Monday to Friday 8.30am to 3.30pm (often also Sat 8.30–11.30am).
Changing money
You can change dollars to riel at many banks, but it's generally more convenient to go to a money changer; they will usually also exchange Thai baht, pounds sterling and euros (it's difficult to exchange other currencies, although you'll possibly be able to do so at Psar Thmei in Phnom Penh and around the market in Siem Reap). Money changers are plentiful in all towns and are always found around markets, typically within goldsmiths' or jewellers' kiosks – look for the cabinets stacked with notes. When changing money, the dealer will do the sums on a calculator for you to agree, before counting out the notes in front of you; it is accepted practice that you then recount the money, as any discrepancy will not be considered once you've left the desk. Feel free to reject any notes in particularly dire condition. While riel are accepted regardless of condition, a dollar bill with even a minuscule blemish will be returned as unacceptable.
When changing money, it's better to opt for mid-value notes – 5000 or 10,000 riel for instance – which can be changed everywhere. Outside of market hours, you can still change dollars at shops, especially those selling phone cards; you'll need to ask around, and the rates will be worse to the tune of a few riel per dollar. You can change riel back into dollars at most money changers when leaving Cambodia, or into baht at money changers in Poipet. It's impossible to exchange riel once you've left the country.
Cashing travellers' cheques
Major banks will cash dollar travellers' cheques (into dollars only) for a two-percent commission; travellers' cheques in other currencies are sometimes viewed with suspicion and may be rejected. Don't rely on using travellers' cheques as payment for services or on cashing them other than at the banks, as they are accepted at few outlets.
Wiring money
Having money wired from home is fairly convenient these days with both the Acleda Bank and the Cambodia Asia Bank handling Western Union (http://www.westernunion.com) transfers, while the Canadia Bank is the agent for Moneygram (http://www.moneygram.com). Fees vary however, and may be quite steep if you have to make an additional currency exchange, say from UK pounds to $US. It is also possible to have money wired directly from a bank in your home country to a bank account in Cambodia. If you choose this route, your home bank will need the name and address of the Cambodian bank, their bank code and the account name and number; money wired this way normally takes three to five working days to arrive and costs around £25/$35 per transaction (you'll also have to pay a handling fee in Cambodia).

There's one final scene, but before I get to that, I need to backtrack a little to that first flashback: It's the Mathesons in the hospital a year before the blackout. Little Danny is about to have a surgery, one that we learn has never been done on anyone before. He's the first. (Hey, it's far-fetched, but it has happened.) Ben and Rachel are freaked, worried their son is going to become a failed science project. But they've already tried everything else there is to try.
We don't learn what this surgery is or what ailment Danny had. The final scene certainly seems to be alluding to whatever that procedure was, but it only serves to make things more mysterious. Rachel is alone with Danny's body. She plants a kiss on his cold forehead and tells him one last "I love you." Then this is where it gets weird: She pulls out a knife, and shaking and crying, she slices it into her son's torso. She sticks her fingers into his side and pulls out an object – it's the size and shape of a large pill, and inside it is a blinking blue light. Whaaa?
That's it for your first Revolution episode of 2013. Now about Danny's untimely demise: Danny never seemed to be a well-liked character. Stubborn kids never really are. But this isn't Storybrooke, where Henry's screentime can get cut while he's at school and the focus gets shifted to other characters. This is post-blackout, post-Danny's rescue America, where Danny is stuck with rest of Fellowship at all times. So maybe the Revolution writers realized it wasn't going to work to have him around that much. Or maybe they've been planning this since the beginning of the series. It really is tragedy at its near-most tragic: The whole mission of the first 10 episodes is finally achieved, all that trekking and fighting over a thousand miles is worth it – and then Danny dies. I wonder when Kripke and co. decided to kill off Danny. Hopefully we'll find out at WonderCon this weekend. That con might be Graham Rogers' last hurrah for the show. Though there's always the chance he'll appear in flashbacks.
What did you think of this return episode, Revolutionaires? Are there enough new mysteries to keep things interesting as we get nearer to the real answer of why the power went out? What in the world is up with whatever Rachel pulled out of Danny's chest? What does she plan to do with it? And how is the light still working? How do you feel about the decision to kill off Danny? Do you think Rachel and Miles had an affair? What do you think is next for Jason Neville? How long do you think it will take for Monroe to figure out Neville was lying when he said his son was dead? Did anyone else really miss the swordfights in this episode? And just how worried should we be for the resistance with Monroe and Randall now in cahoots?
I'll leave you with those questions and a few quotables. See you next week.
Monroe: Is it possible there weren't any remains to find?
Neville: It's possible. But it's also Miles.
"It's all going to be the Monroe Republic – sea to shining sea." — Monroe
Aaron: So, Rachel, it turns out you're not the mild-mannered housewife I thought you were.
Rachel: We've been through a lot, Aaron. Not now.
Aaron: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that you're alive, which is, you know, newsworthy.
Rachel, to Danny: I love you to the moon and back.

Hiring a new grad in Columbus Ohio? Advice
- 0Mar 17, '13 by JennzieRNHi,
I just graduated from a Chicago nursing program with my MSN and am looking to move to Ohio. What does a average new grad make in Ohio? What is the job out look for a new grad? What's rent?
Also are there any hospitals in Columbus hiring with sign on or relocation bonus's?
Thanks for any advice.
- 1Mar 17, '13 by HippyDippyLPNI am from around the area the only think I can speak on is cost of living is lower. A nice I bedroom apartment in a good section will run ya $600-$800. Do research before you sign a lease, like all cities, CBus has its areas ya wanna avoid.
- 0Mar 17, '13 by HippyDippyLPNOh and post this in Ohio forum, much more people with knowledge on the city! I only lived in the actual city for a short time so rent may have gotten less or more.
- 0Mar 18, '13 by traumaRUs, MSN, APRN, CNS AdminMoved to Ohio nursing for more input
- 0Mar 18, '13 by LPNBearColumbus, LPNColumbus nurse here. New grad jobs seem to be hard to get here in CBus. Competition is fierce according to friends that have recently graduated from RN programs. You have an advantage with a MSN, as most hospitals are hiring only BSN prepared grads. ( Most of the major hospital systems here, (Ohio Health, Mount Carmel and OSU) are magnet hospitals.
Salary wise, Word on the street is that new grad RNs are being offered around 23.00 - 25.00/ hour for hospital positions, but of course that will depend on experience, education level and shift. Believe it or not, pay can often be higher in LTC/Rehab/LTAC settings.
The cost of living in this area is about average, but probably lower than the Chicago area. (Gas is about 3.60/gallon here right now, a gallon of milk will cost you about 2.80)
As far as good areas to live, there are many great neighbor hoods here. It's really going to depend on where you end up working, since you will almost certainly need to drive to work. We have a lousy public transit system here, and a lot of the out lying areas are poorly served by bus routes, and there is no commuter rail / light rail system. Rent will vary depending on the area, but the previous poster was right about the cost of a 1 bedroom in a decent area. 600-800/month. It can be higher, but I'd avoid any lower.
Columbus is a great city, and people I know who have come here from large cities like NYC and Chicago are always pleasantly surprised at the quality of life they can have here for the money, compared to where they came from. I think you'l like it here a lot.
- 1Mar 21, '13 by HeartNursing3I'm a new grad RN in Columbus, OH. I was offered $23.56 starting. Shift differential is $5/hr for nights (3pm-7am) and weekends. They combine if you work a night and a weekend. That was highest of the 3 major health systems in central Ohio for ADN (you get more for BSN).
I love Columbus and I love where I work. I live in Dublin, but Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Grandview, German Village, Westerville, New Albany... all great places to live.
- 0Jun 6, '13 by notallwhowander600-800 for a one bedroom even seems a bit steep, there is more affordable housing in Columbus if you're willing to do a bit of looking. For example, I rent at 750/mo for a 3-bedroom house with a yard. www.metro-rentals.com is a good place to start looking (and it breaks it down by neighborhood, which is nice). Good luck!
- 0Jun 15, '13 by BlueLightRNWhere do you work that they hired you as ADN HeartNursing3? I live near there and am struggling to find work as ADN with 1 year skilled experience in rehab unit and 1 year in clinic nursing.
- 0Jun 16, '13 by HeartNursing3I was hired at OSU Wexner Medical Center. I'm on a mec/surg unit that's getting 9 step down beds. It's been a wonderful learning experience and I'm a lot happier there than I thought I would be. We just hired 5 new grad nurses and 4 are ADN. I have numerous classmates that were hired at OSU as well.
Quote from BlueLightRNWhere do you work that they hired you as ADN HeartNursing3? I live near there and am struggling to find work as ADN with 1 year skilled experience in rehab unit and 1 year in clinic nursing.
- 0Jun 16, '13 by notallwhowanderAny tips on getting hired in? I submitted my new grad residency application back in March and it's still siting in the "applied" status, meaning nobody from HR has even looked at it (and I have called and emailed, and they basically have just told me 'somebody will eventually look at it').

Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
We have just been informed by Aer Lingus that they are cancelling our booking (flights to the US in their Summer sale) as they made a mistake putting the prices up on their website.
They are offering a refund but that won't cover the cost of rebooking the flights as they've upped all the prices now. The difference will be around 600!
The ODCA won't give us a clear answer on whether we're entitled to insist on a replacement ticket rather than the refund.
Anyone have any advice? Is there anything we can do?
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
I'd would kick up a fuss.
Their website says all fare's are non refundable so how they they choose to refund you. It is a disgrace, if they put them up in error its their fault not yours.
I'm sure they have somethign hidden in the T&C's to cover this but sounds disgraceful to me.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
We had booked flights to the USA last Sept for March of this year, about 3 weeks beforehand AL e-mailed us to tell us that the flight times had changed and it would have meant an additional stop for us on the way out, which is what we were seeking to avoid in the first place.
When I called them they said we could have a full refund so I told them (!) there was a direct flight 2 days later and to move us to that, it was dearer online for those flights but they mentioned nothing of the extra cost (they could have tried !!). Incidentally, even thought they changed the routing/flight times they also had the audacity to change our seat numbers to much more ridiculous ones down the back of the plane without asking us !!
OP - Have you not got a contract with AL and are they not honoring it ? Offer/Acceptance, Consideration being payment, I'm not sure if they are legally able to just tell you they are cancelling their contract with you (i.e. cancelling the booking) and then expect you to re-book at the higher rates ?? Worth reading the T&C though.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
I would say you are entitled to travel at the original price quoted. All retailers (Aer Lingus is essentially a retailer as well as an airline, they sell flights) price and advertise their goods and by doing this they are inviting you to buy their product at the advertised price.
In view of the amount of money involved, a trip to the small claims court may be appropriate.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
Thanks Shane. There's nothing in the T&C's about contracts being terminated by them. Only about if you need to cancel etc. And of course there are loads of protections if your flight is cancelled, but that hasn't happened here. They are still running the flight, they just don't want to let us have the seats for the price they sold them to us at.
We are kicking up a fuss - been ringing them and the ODCA over and over. Still haven't gotten it in writing yet that the booking is cancelled. We've asked them to provide their authority for cancelling it, and for refusing to provide anything other than a refund.
So frustrating...
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
Thanks everyone!
The flights are not full. The line they have spun us is that they made a mistake offering the flights for such a cheap fare, and they are now cancelling the contract.
Yes there was a perfectly valid contract. Credit card was debited and all. Got the confirmation email with booking reference.
They are perfectly entitled to refuse to honour the contract I believe, but they have to provide a remedy. They are insisting on a refund being provided, but we want them to provide a replacement flight.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
OP - how about a quick call to a Solicitor (or is that possible :-)) to get opinion ?

Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
Havealaugh - already done (well, a barrister pal!) Will hear back tonight or in a few days. Pal was on the fence but edging towards optimistic for us. Was hoping someone might have some more advice in the meantime...
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
How long did it take them to realise their "mistake"? If days or weeks had elapsed, your case is stronger.
Air lines normally honour mistake fares, to avoid bad publicity if nothing else.
If they can cancel the contract, what's to stop an airline adopting this business model - sell out the flight with cheap seats, cancel the cheapest seats on high demand flights and bump up the price, repeat untlil you've maximised the profit per seat.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
About five hours had elapsed between the booking, and when we checked the 'manage your booking' page and it said 'booking cancelled'. We then rang them and they said they had made a mistake putting up the prices and were going to send us an email. No email as yet.
I agree with you that it would set an appalling precedent!
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
How cheap were the flights you booked ?
was it something silly like 10
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
This is from the confirmation email:
Fare details:
Category Fare Taxes,Fees,Charges Subtotal
Total Fees EUR12.00
So they were €100 each plus the charges. They were advertising flights to Orlando for €270 in the promotional email we got, so it didn't seem silly that New York might be on special offer.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
seems like a fair price , so they could never argue it was an obvious mistake...
Are you sure they charged your credit card , the problem you have it they may have canceled the transaction before it completed, which means a contract did not exist...
if the charge did make it to your card I think you have a good case...
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
The transaction won't show up on the credit card statement for a couple of days so we don't know if it was debited.
Finally got something in writing from Aer Lingus:
Due to a technical error in our reservation system for a brief period today, a small number of bookings were priced incorrectly.
Unfortunately, yours was one of the bookings affected and this email is to notify you of cancellation of your booking and to advise no funds will be deducted from your account. We are pleased to advise you that this problem has now been rectified.
Will have to wait to see if the card was debited and refunded, or never debited at all. Sounds like the former and I guess that puts us in a weaker position?
ETA: Got SO to check the credit card on banking online (hadn't done so before as had assumed would take a couple of days to show up). The credit available has been reduced, so looks like the money came off the card all right. Hmmmm - I think that helps our position?
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
No , this only means they reserved an amount on your card, they can do that without processing the charge... so you need to wait till it appears on the statement to know for sure....
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
I have had the exact same problem today, booked flights, payment went through, recieved confirmation and then 7 hours later recieve an email to say it was a mistake. The consumers helpdesk said they have had many phone calls about this, not sure about todays thing, but they said think they can break the contract, and offer a refund. Going to fight on though, passengers cant break their contract, why should they be able to? I know other companies carry through their "mistakes", and want to avoid bad press.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
I too booked flights this morning & being suspicious of the price, i called Aer Lingus straight after I purchased the tickets (and after they had found the "bug" in their system)
The telephone operator said that while it was a glitch in their system, they would be honouring the flights. I also had my colleagues call Aer Lingus to confirm the reservations that they had made. They all got the same reply - they would honour the flights.
Later this afternoon I noticed that when I went to view my booking on the Aer Lingus website, it said my booking reference was invalid. So I called Aer Lingus again, this time I was informed that the booking was cancelled due to the technical glitch in their system.
I asked for the manager on duty in the call centre & was told that they would just tell me the same thing. About 10 minutes later I got a call informing me that the manager on duty would call me in about 15 minutes. When I heard nothing, i called them up again.
This time i got through to the manager. She said that because Aer Lingus did not intend to sell the flights at those fares, there was no "intent to sell" therefore the contract between Aer Lingus & I was void.
The fact that Aer Lingus displayed the fares at the 5 price tag, i would have thought, constituted their intention to sell. And, by sending a confirmation e-mail to me represents their entry into contract. (If they had waited to send the confirmation e-mail & cancelled it before I actually received it, then they would have a better argument)
Nowhere in the T&C's does it say that Aer Lingus has to right to cancel the booking or alter the price of the fare after it has been confirmed. If that is not part of the T&C on the contract that you & Aer Lingus are bound into when you place the booking with them, then they surely can't cancel your booking/change the price, can they?? If it's not in the contract, it can't be part of the contract right?
However, what is listed in the T&C's is....
"No agent, servant or representative of carrier has authority to alter, modify or waive any provision of this contract."
The citizens advice told me that Aer Lingus have entered into contract with you & that they have to honour the flights otherwise they are in breach of contract. I too told Aer Lingus this & said that i didn't want the refund of money, i wanted the flight. But of course the telephone operator is not empowered to do this.
So do we have any options here? I e-mailed Matt Cooper on TodayFM about this - i suggest that everyone else do the same.
At the end of the day, they could easily turn around & pull the "sorry, this fare was a glitch in our system" line, whenever they like & get away with it.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
If you made a mistake yourself would you expect to be crucified for it? Someone loaded the incorrect prices into a database no doubt and now people are shouting their rights left right and center.
A bit of common sense is needed here, especially where it is clear the prices were large savings.
Re: Aer Lingus cancelled booking - what to do?
I too am one of the affected people. I was on to Newstalk and they are going to feature me on the Brenda Power programme, if not tomorrow morning at 10.30, then on Friday morning. If you can, listen out and try and ring in. I eventually got through to Aer Lingus at 9.15 this evening and told them, to be fair to them, that I was going to go to the radio about this issue, and I got no response whatsoever.
What really annoys me about the whole situation is that I have been checking EVERY flight operator to the states for the past 2 months for specific dates in June that I want to travel on, in hope of finding a cheap flight, so it's not as if (which I am sure Aer Lingus will say) I jumped on a bandwagon of knowing there was an error with their system.
I intend to take this issue as far as I can and would encourage everyone else to do the same. I reckon we would have a shot at the Small Claims Court if all else was to fail.
If we were to arrive with our printed e-ticket, they would have to honour it, as is stated in their terms and conditions. The fact that they emailed and texted people about their error, I don't imagine would standup in any court.

Suspects charged in stabbing attack at Glen Avenue Campus
SNOHOMISH - The couple suspected of randomly attacking two men at the former Freshman Campus in July have been charged in Snohomish County Superior Court.
Rachel Patterson, 27, and Tristan Smith, 28, were charged with first- and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon on Friday, Aug. 16 for the attack that sent both victims to the hospital.
Patterson and Smith, both Snohomish residents, came upon three brothers playing Frisbee at the Glen Avenue Campus on the night of July 23 wielding what the victims described as a Rambo-style knife, a metal police baton and a tire iron, according to court documents.
Two of the brothers, both in their 20s, were badly injured while the youngest brother, 13, managed to get away. Both men were stabbed and slashed several times and one suffered a collapsed lung.
One of the brothers spent several days in the hospital recovering from stab wounds to his chest, according to court documents.
Smith has a criminal record in King County, including a felony conviction for first-degree theft.
Snohomish Police Chief John Flood said the brothers told police they didn't know why they were attacked. During the incident, the attackers reportedly yelled statements such as: "This is what you get for jumping someone." According to the brothers, there was no previous incident of anyone being "jumped."
On the night of the attack, police obtained a search warrant for the couple's apartment and vehicle. During the search, officers found blood stains in several locations, bloody knives matching the victims' descriptions, an expandable metal baton and a tire iron.
Patterson reportedly admitted to officers that she was with Smith the night of the attack but denied participation in the incident.
The two suspects have a shared residence and had been involved in a domestic dispute the night of the stabbing just before the attack occurred.

An education package for the hospital Quality Improvement Committee (QIC) may include:
a) What is the QIC? (For an explanation of the QIC please see the section Where to begin)
b) Are you aware of the unique pressures associated with being an Aboriginal staff member within the hospital environment?
c) Is there any specific local, regional or state information that should be included in any trianing or information for staff?
Process 3 includes a variety of resources and information to assist the QIC in understanding patient feedback from a cultural perspective. It includes information on the impact of a lack of cultural awareness on Aboriginal health outcomes as well as case studies and articles from a literature review of the Improving the Culture of Hospitals Project.
This process will provide background information to the Quality Improvement Committee on the current role that most Aboriginal staff undertake in hospitals, that of an Aboriginal Hospital Liaison Officer (AHLO). In many cases the most likely Aboriginal staff undertaking the Aboriginal Quality Improvement role will be AHLOs. There will also be some information to assist Quality Improvement Committee members to understand the role and the sensitivities that the Aboriginal Quality Improvement role must work within.
Many non-Aboriginal staff have not worked closely with their Aboriginal colleagues within the hospital setting and are unaware of the pressures with carrying out this role. Aboriginal Hospital Liaison Officers have different areas of responsiblity including work tasks to the hospital they work for but also cultural responsibilities to the community they are part of.

Labour group facing more greed accusations after ousting councillor from office
Posted: June 21, 2012|
THE ruling Labour group in North East Lincolnshire is facing further accusations of greed after ousting a Conservative councillor from the chairmanship of a non-political organisation.
Councillor Keith Brookes, leader of the Conservative group, was unseated as chairman of the Cleethorpes Charter Trustees after ten years in the position, and replaced by Labour's Hazel Chase at the group's annual general meeting.
The organisation was set up in 1996 following the abolition of Cleethorpes Borough Council in order to preserve the heritage of the town's civic buildings and regalia.
As tenant of the town hall it is responsible for the upkeep of the building and also conducts guided tours.
Its membership comprises the nine ward councillors in the three Cleethorpes wards of Croft Baker, Haverstoe and Sidney Sussex.
And at the group's annual general meeting the six Labour councillors voted for council leader Chris Shaw's proposal to replace Mr Brookes with Mrs Chase and appoint newly-elected Councillor Ray Oxby as vice-chairman.
Mr Brookes says the move is a further sign that Labour has become power-mad after taking overall control of the council in May.
It follows his criticism of the ruling administration over its decision not to allow Conservative Melanie Dickerson to become mayor, and to give chairmanship of all the scrutiny panels to councillors from its own party.
However, Labour leader Chris Shaw, defended the decision, saying that the position was not a job for life.
Mr Brookes said: "It has always been recognised that whoever is chairman and deputy chairman is somebody with long service and knowledge of the history of Cleethorpes. Councillor Chase has been a member for one year and has never attended a Charter Trustees meeting, and Councillor Thurogood has only been a member for a matter of weeks.
"I am sure that any of the members, given the right experience, would do an admirable job, but it does take a number of years to build that up.
"Last year Councillor Shaw proposed me as chairman and said he thought I had done an excellent job and hoped I would carry on for the good of the trustees and the town hall. What has changed?
"It came as a surprise because I didn't think that Councillor Shaw and his Labour colleagues would bring themselves so low as to turn the Trustees into a political animal.
"It just proves the ongoing Labour greed to take every position possible. They are more interested in themselves and what they can get than what they can actually do for residents and businesses in the area. It is a real worry."
Mr Shaw said: "When Councillor Brookes was elected to the post ten years ago I didn't realise it was a job for life. It was a fair and democratic vote and I'm afraid he lost the vote."
He said that Mr Brookes was re-elected last year because he was overseeing an ongoing project that has since been completed.
"Councillor Chase will do an excellent job as chairman because, like Councillor Brookes, she has got Cleethorpes at heart. And Councillor Thurogood has lived in the area for many years, and as an ex-planning officer he knows the town hall very well as he was based there.
"Rather than having a pop at new councillors, Councillor Brookes could have offered his help to the new chairman and vice-chairman of the Charter Trustees.
"It seems it is all about position for Councillor Brookes, not about serving the people, and I'm afraid this is one position for which he did not win the vote.
"I think he is causing a fuss over nothing. I think he needs to spend his time doing ward work rather than worrying about whether or not his name is on a bit of wood in the council chamber."
Meanwhile Labour's Norma Lincoln and Conservative Alex Baxter were re-elected as chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the Grimsby Charter Trustees.

There is moderate flooding on German St in Herkimer between Prospect and Henry Streets. Rain running down from Renwick Ave and behind the George Aney group home, and backed up storm drains seems to be the problem. Officials have closed German Street now, which is good since no one was turning back from driving through the flooding

Drivin' the Dixie preserving route's storied history
By Evan F. Moore Correspondent June 22, 2014 7:20PM
Craig, from Oak Lawn, sports his 1971 Dodge Charger during the Southland's 'Driving the Dixie' event on Saturday, June 21, 2014. | Evan F. Moore/For Sun-Times Media.

Updated: July 24, 2014 6:23AM
Vintage vehicles were in abundance on the Dixie Highway this weekend.
Onlookers may have seen a 1971 Dodge Charger, a 1996 Chevy Impala or a 1964 Corvair Spider.
Participants in the 13th annual "Drivin' the Dixie," which took place Saturday afternoon in the Southland, followed the scavenger-hunt-like instructions that lead them through the towns of Blue Island, Markham, Homewood, Flossmoor, Chicago Heights and Momence.
The participants registered at the Thornton Quarry. They were given a passport that they validated throughout the drive.
Jim Wright, of Homewood, is the author of "The Dixie Highway in Illinois," along with being a retired Homewood firefighter. He has participated in the drive since its inception. He drove a 1966 Ford Homewood Fire Department vehicle.
"We started the (Homewood) Heritage Committee. One of the charges of that committee was by the mayor to promote the Dixie Highway," Wright said. "The committee approached communities up and down the Dixie Highway in Illinois to get involved in the promotional effort in what we know as 'Drivin' the Dixie.'"
Elaine Egdorf, founding president and current director of the Homewood Historical Society along with being the president of the South Suburban Heritage Association, says the drive is all about preserving the Dixie's history.
"The reason we went to the quarry today was because years ago, the Dixie Highway was Hubbard's trail and Vincent's trail," she said. "Gordon Hubbard owned the first stone quarry here. In the 1880s, my great-grandfather (Rollin Flanagin) also owned a stone quarry."
She also said that the drive not only showcases vintage cars; it is also a way to educate young people.
"The Drivin' the Dixie is a fun way to learn about history of the area," she said.
Egdorf says plans are being formulated for next year's drive. That will take place during the Dixie's 100-year anniversary.
"We intend to install 4x6 signs in each town next spring highlighting history of the road, a national map, a local map, photos of the town and a brief history of each town."

While the ellipsis in front of ...And the Black Feathers might immediately draw comparisons to, well, a certain other band that has three dots before its name, that's essentially where the similarities end. That much is clear from the slow strum of the reverb-drenched guitar on "Evol (Part 1)," the opening track on Love on the Lam, which was released earlier this year. And on "Evol (Part 2)," it's even more apparent that these guys lean toward muscular, raw rock, maybe even with a peripheral respect for Danzig-era Misfits. The trio injects a healthy amount of energy into most of the disc's seven tracks, especially "Lover" and the fuzzed-out "Punch Drunk." For a threesome, ...And the Black Feathers packs a particularly hard and gritty punch.

Happy Friday, ocean fans. It's almost spring, and a surfing alpaca exists in the world. Things are looking up.
Before we get to the week's best marine tidbits, an important announcement: Oceana board member Ted Danson will be answering questions live on CNN.com on April 1, so send your ocean queries in, stat!
Also, don't forget that today is the last day to take the Ocean IQ quiz for a chance to win prizes, including a trip with SEE Turtles.
This week in ocean news,
…Yes, CITES failed to deliver on bluefin tuna yesterday, but as Monterey Bay Aquarium's Julie Packard pointed out, at least the conversation is changing. Bluefin is now in the same rhetorical realm as endangered land creatures such as tigers and elephants.
…Deep Sea News wrote a requiem for a robot -- the Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) that was lost at sea last week during a research expedition to the Chilean Subduction Zone. On a recent dive, ABE had detected evidence of hydrothermal vents. At the time of its loss, ABE had just begun a second dive to home into a vent site and photograph it.
Victory! Chile Passes Reform on Salmon Escapes, Antibiotics
Groundbreaking news out of Chile, and it's not about the earthquake.
As a direct result of Oceana's campaign work to reform the Chilean salmon aquaculture industry, this week the Chilean Congress passed legislation to prevent the escape of farmed salmon and further regulate the use of antibiotics in salmon aquaculture.
The reform criminalizes farmed salmon escapes and imposes hefty fines as well as prison sentences for violators. It also bans the preventive use of antibiotics, and requires companies to make public the amounts and types of antibiotics they use, in addition to their specific prescribed use. Oceana has been working since 2008 to convince Chile to restrict the use of antibiotics in salmon farming.

Film Reveals Global Scourge of Salmon Aquaculture
Today marks the global launch of a short documentary exposé from the Pure Salmon Campaign about the damaging effects of salmon farms worldwide. "Farmed Salmon Exposed: The Global Reach of the Norwegian Salmon Farming Industry" reveals the environmental, socioeconomic and cultural effects of salmon aquaculture. The film includes appearances by Alex Muñoz and Dr. Matthias Gorny from Oceana in Chile, and Oceana board member Dr. Daniel Pauly.
Watch the film below and pass it on to your friends and family.
Target Nixes Farmed Salmon
In a blow to the salmon aquaculture industry, on Tuesday Target announced it will stop selling farmed salmon in favor of more environmentally sustainable wild-caught salmon in its fresh, frozen and smoked seafood sections.
With its announcement, Target -- the second largest retailer in the country behind Wal-Mart -- raises the profile of the slew of problems associated with farming one of the most popular seafood species.
In case you need a refresher on why farmed salmon is so deleterious to the environment and potentially public health, check out this post I wrote back in 2008.
In the U.S. Oceana is working to protect wild Pacific salmon, and in Chile, we are working to reduce the use of antibiotics in the industry, reduce salmon escapes and establish a marine protected area in Patagonia to defend its pristine ecosystems from the industry's southern push.

Corona del Sol boys and Highland girls cross country teams were the big winners at the 41st edition of the Doug Conley Invitational on Saturday.
The meet, hosted by Tempe High, was held at Rolling Hills Golf Course.
Corona has won every invitational its competed in this season and this could have been the toughest so far this season.
Corona senior Nate Rodriguez won this race for the first time in his illustrious running career with a time of 15 minutes, 55 seconds, six seconds faster than teammate Marcus Wheeler, who finished second. Ryan Normand finished fourth to help the Aztecs take three of the top four spots. Blake Fischer (16th) and Patrick Cullings (33rd) rounded out the Aztecs' lineup.
Mesquite's Tyler Day (fifth) and Saguaro's Alexander Stevens (sixth) were also East Valley boys to finish in the top 10 individually.
Corona (56 points) came in well ahead of second-place Tuba City (113 points) and third-place Page (136 points).
The Highland girls team knocked off defending-champion Xavier to win the Hawks' first Doug Conley team title. Three Hawks' girls finished in the top 10: Lauren Ellsworth (second), Allyson Girad (fifth) and Addi Montgomery (tenth). Highland totaled 77 points, followed by Xavier at 93, Corona del Sol (141), Red Mountain (141) and Rio Rico (206).
Other top girls finishers were Mesquite's Alice Jensen (third), Corona's Kelly Naumann (fourth), Red Mountain's Taryn Estavillo (eighth) and Skyline's Sarah Ziemba (ninth).

Prof. Iain Stewart
Spring 2006
This is a course in the construction and application of effective field theories, which are the modern tool of choice in making predictions based on the Standard Model. Concepts such as matching, renormalization, the operator product expansion, power counting, and running with the renormalization group will be discussed. Topics will be taken from factorization in hard processes relevant for the LHC, heavy quark decays and CP violation, chiral perturbation theory, non-relativistic bound states in field theory (QED and QCD), nucleon effective theories with a fine-tuning, and possibly other subjects from QCD, electroweak physics, and gravity.
OCW has published multiple versions of this subject.

Nope, and wouldn't want to, cooking is a journey into the unknown.
Particularly when you open the cupboard to look for a specific spice or
herb and you're out of it. That's when cooking becomes experimental.

Little old man sittin' on a bench
All alone in the cold
The wind is blowin' up a fierce storm
Through holes worn in his coat
He survived a head on crash
That took his family
Woe, woe, woe-is-me
Woe, woe, years of grief
A cute little boy walkin' through the park
Holdin' his daddy's hand
Stops and asks, "Daddy can I give
My jacket to that old man
His dad says, "That's a stranger boy
You'd better just let him be"
Woe, woe, woe-is-me
Woe, woe the things we teach
There's too much damn apathy
Spreadin' like the plague
It's got a head of steam, the timing's bad
So many souls to save
Little old man's a ghost-ship
Adrift in a soupy fog
Folks pass him by with blinkered eyes
And don't even know he's lost
Little old man sittin' on a bench
Ice cycles in his hair
He's not breathin', crowd looks on
But it's a little too late to care
The frozen smile upon his face
Expresses such relief
Woe, woe, woe-is-me
Woe, woe, he's finally free

Trumpf's TruMicro 2000 series of pulse lasers for microscopic machining offers a pulse duration of 20 picoseconds with 10 microjoules of pulse energy and a 10-W average output power at high brilliance. With an M2 beam quality of less than 1.3, the lasers are suitable for high-precision separation and structuring applications. Controls monitor each individual picosecond pulse from generation through delivery via the external modulator. Output power and pulse energy are kept at the required levels regardless of external influences, the company says.
The small, lightweight lasers feature control options for integration into manufacturing lines. Variations with infrared or green wavelengths are available for a selection of focusing abilities and absorption properties. The laser can be used for applications such as black marking anodized aluminum. The beam passes through the anodized layer of material and causes the metal to change color, while the surface is unaffected.

The Yankees flipped a young outfield prospect with a history of shoulder and hamstring issues for a relief pitcher that was once kicked in the face by his own teammate. On the surface, this is one of those trades that means very little. It is doubtful Abraham Almonte ever turns into Mike Trout much in the same way it is doubtful that Shawn Kelley ever turns into Craig Kimbrel. However, this is the type of late winter trade news that is begging for a bit of brief over analysis. To the Excel Cave!
The Good
Shawn Kelley, a lifer in the Mariners organization until now, actually has decent strikeout potential, averaging 8.5K/9 over 128 career big league innings. Strikeouts are good and strikeouts by relievers are a very valuable commodity. Kelley's swinging strike percentage in 2012 was above the league average for qualified pitchers. He essentially throws two pitches, a fastball and a slider, each of which demonstrated an above average whiff rate in 2012. Last year wasn't a fluke with regards to strikeouts as he has shown good punchout ability throughout the minors.
The Bad
Shawn Kelley puts the ball in the air at an above average rate. His FB% was over 15% higher than the league average for qualified relievers in 2012. To a certain extent this seems to be asking for it in Yankee Stadium. While Kelley posted an above average HR/FB ratio in 2012, how much of this could be attributed to the fact that he got to pitch in cavernous Safeco where even your grandmother had a fighting chance of keeping the ball in the park?
So what's the takeaway here? On the one hand this could be a very ninja move wherein Cashman gets a relatively cheap reliever with strikeout shutdown potential. On the other hand, fans in the stands might want to consider preemptively shielding their heads when Kelley is on the mound.

Topic Outline
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacillus that is an opportunistic pathogen [1-4], particularly among hospitalized patients. Stenotrophomonas infections have been associated with high morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised and debilitated individuals.
Stenotrophomonas (Xanthomonas) maltophilia is a ubiquitous, aerobic, non-fermentative, gram-negative bacillus that is closely related to the Pseudomonas species [5]. The name signifies "a unit feeding on few substrates," based on the Greek roots stenos (narrow), trophos (one who feeds), and monas (a unit). Maltophilia means "affinity for malt," based on the Greek roots maltum (malt) and philia (affinity).
S. maltophilia was first isolated in 1943 and, at the time, was named Bacterium bookeri. It was later classified within the genus Pseudomonas, then Xanthomonas, and then finally Stenotrophomonas in 1993 [4,6,7]. S. maltophilia is the only species of Stenotrophomonas known to infect humans [7], whereas its closest genetic relatives are plant pathogens [7,8]. It is frequently isolated from soil, water, animals, plant matter, and hospital equipment [4,9-21].
S. maltophilia has inherent ability to adhere to foreign materials and form a biofilm, rendering protection from host defenses as well as antimicrobial agents [18,19,22-26]. Factors contributing to this behavior include its positively charged surface and fimbrial adhesions [7,22-24,26-28]. In addition, Stenotrophomonas has intrinsic or acquired resistance mechanisms to a number of antibiotic classes, including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, and fluoroquinolones. Resistance to beta-lactams is conferred by two inducible beta-lactamases, a zinc-containing penicillinase (L1) and a cephalosporinase (L2) [21,29-32]. An aminoglycoside acetyl-transferase confers resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics [33-39]. Temperature-dependent changes in the outer membrane lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structure have been associated with added resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics [18,40-43]. In addition, many strains of S. maltophilia possess efflux pumps, which confer further resistance to multiple antibacterial classes [33,44-47].
Stenotrophomonas infections have been associated with high morbidity and mortality in severely immunocompromised and debilitated individuals. Risk factors associated with Stenotrophomonas infection include admission to an intensive care unit, HIV infection, malignancy, cystic fibrosis, neutropenia, mechanical ventilation, central venous catheters, recent surgery, trauma, and previous therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics [1,2,4,20,21,48-51].
