Construction is booming in the East Valley, and those in the industry say success is a double-edged sword.
With housing starts at record levels and new homes being snatched up by eager buyers — many of whom are entering lotteries or camping outside developments awaiting lot releases — the construction industry has been given a lesson in popularity.
The sizzling market translates into a shortage of workers skilled in the construction trades, from carpenters to masons to brick and foundation layers.
As contractors across the East Valley say they're desperate for dependable, experienced and qualified workers, developers say they've had to institute different methods to handle the thirst for their prime product — a new home.
"The skilled labor pool out there is almost nonexistent. It's at full capacity, full employment," said Rob Cross, Phoenix division president for Ryland Homes and a board member of the Arizona Home Builders Association.
Data from the Arizona Department of Economic Security backs Cross up, revealing the construction industry's conundrum.
During the month of August, the industry added 1,400 jobs, bringing the number employed in the field to 195,400. While that's a substantial number, it means that there are fewer than 200,000 workers of all types and trades to build homes in one of the fastest growing housing markets in the nation.
Analyst RL Brown said the Valley housing market continues to break its own records. From January through August of this year, 40,700 singlefamily residential building permits were issued across the region.
That marks "a 30 percent increase over the same time last year, which was an alltime record," said Brown, publisher of the Phoenix Housing Market Letter.
"At that rate, the total number of permits could run from 55,000 to 60,000 for the year if we keep the same pace."
"It's really ironic. We're up at a record level in the construction industry right now both nationally and in Arizona," said Mark Minter, executive director of the Arizona Builders Alliance. "But we're hearing from our members that they're having a hard time finding people for any kind of position."
John Krecek of JFK Electrical, a commercial and industrial contracting firm in Gilbert, said the response to classified ads is just one indication of how tight the labor market is for both residential and commercial jobs.
"In 1988, we'd run an ad for electricians and we'd get 35 to 50 from a weekend ad. Now, if we get 35 to 50 in six months, it's surprising," Krecek said.
With about 70 employees, the firm specializes in commercial and industrial work. including Arizona State University's new School of Agribusiness at the ASU East Campus on Williams Field Road in Mesa.
Michelle Flynn, of Mesa's ASL Construction, said even a strong bite from a want ad doesn't guarantee success.
"We need carpenters with custom home experience. Dependable. Reliable. We've had people answer our ad, get hired and then get directions to a job site. And then, they don't show up," she said.
While Krecek said he's got a continual need for electrical journeymen and foremen, he's tapped into temporary agencies when he's got more work than workers.
Using a temporary electrician that's already been vetted by an agency "is really more of a six-week interviewing process," Krecek said.
Dennis Porter, president of Porter Brothers Construction in Gilbert, said he would love to add a dozen carpenters to his employee roster. But at this point, that's pie-in-the-sky thinking.
"It's increasingly becoming a more and more difficult issue to find carpenters that are qualified — that have the experience and the expertise to do a job right," Porter said.
"It seems like there's just so much work going on, that all the good ones are busy. They're certainly not looking for new jobs," Porter said.
Because of the crunch, Porter has subcontracted out work on some jobs, something that he doesn't want or like to do. Subcontracting doesn't always solve his labor problem, because "the subcontractors are having the same problems that we're having," Porter said.
Flynn, who co-owns ASL with her husband, Michael, said they've had to juggle projects and workers like a circus act.
"It's hard to keep our generals happy. We'll pull from one job to get another one finished. We're doing the best we can," Flynn said.
The record number of housing starts and a shortage of skilled labor has combined to create a domino effect in the industry. While contractors juggle jobs, developers say they've had to pace buyer demand.
"You can't sell double the number of houses and automatically assume that you're going to double the labor force," said Scott Coleman, vice president of Toll Brothers and its designated broker.
A highly competitive industry, builders were hesitant to speak in detail about turnaround times. Most agreed, however, that the labor shortage and strong demand for their products mean that a new home is taking about two months longer to build over last year.
"What's really occurred is that because so many houses have been sold, it takes your foundation longer to be laid and for your house to be framed because basically you're waiting your turn," Coleman said.
Developers also want to balance the number of sales with the number of scheduled housing starts so buyers can move into their new home in a palatable time frame — anywhere from six to 10 months.
"We are really trying to keep it under the seven-month time frame. We're not trying to sell beyond that," said Rick Carpinelli, executive vice president for the Phoenix division of KB Home.
Builders, including Ryland's Cross, said they could sell all the lots in any given development throughout the East Valley in one clip, but that's not a preferred way of doing business.
"We could sell way beyond our ability to build these homes, but all that does is lengthen the time that it takes to start the home and complete it for our buyers. . . . If we can't get the homes built, we're not going to sell way out," Cross said.
Instead, they are trying to pace demand by instituting lottery systems, slowing sales of new lots to weekly releases or establishing waiting lists.
"With a lot of builders right now, you can't just walk in and buy a house. You have to go to a waiting list or get into a drawing. That's a fairly common scenario in the Valley right now," said Dennis Herrig, designated broker and vice president of sales and marketing for Standard Pacific Homes.
"If you go to any Standard Pacific subdivision right now, in order to buy a house 90 percent of the time, you would have to come back on a Saturday to enter a drawing," Herrig said.
But drawings, waiting lists and lottery systems aren't a cure-all for the pent up frustration of contractors who would love to take on more jobs, developers who want to sell and build more homes and new home buyers anxious to pull into their driveway.
"We are all really trying to balance that. There's probably not a good answer as far as what the best business practice is. There's not many times you experience a market like this," KB Home's Carpinelli said.
Developers say they've instituted quality assurance and quality control policies, new ways of working with contractors and have strengthened communication with buyers to deal with the hot housing market.
Meanwhile, contractors and trade associations say they've started recruiting more heavily and are more likely to take on and train an inexperienced, yet goaloriented worker through apprentice and formalized training programs.
"It's really the ability of the market to gear up in a given period of time. And it's going to take time. There's a lot of jobs available to people in the construction field, good paying with job security. We want them and we're looking for them," Carpinelli said.
Arizona Builders Alliance Executive Director Mark Minter agreed.
"This is still an industry that when you're 35, you might own your own business. We're looking for those kind of people, with a little bit of entrepreneurial drive," he said.

NEW DELHI: Aarushi-Hemraj (Yagya Prasad) twin murder case took a new turn on Sunday as Hemraj's widow Khumkala Banjade moved an application at a Ghaziabad court today seeking to record her statement in the case which has now been subjudiced at the Supreme Court. Khumkala has filed her application under article 311 of the criminal procedure code known as CrPC. The Ghaziabad court would hear the application on April 27.
Yadav said the final verdict rested on the SC which might also say that since the case had been considering by the apex court, no further action by a lower court was required now.
Khumkala's legal counsel Advocate Naresh Yadav said she has claimed in the application that her husband had called 15 days before the incident to tell her that Talwar couple had threatened to kill him.
In that telephonic conversation, Hemraj also told his wife that Talwar couple was angry with him for 'telling the house matters' to outsiders, Yadav said and added that his client's application if approved would give a new twist to the double murder case. "None of the investigating authorities have recorded her (Khumkala's) statement. She is the only witness to have come forward with such strong evidence," Yadav told this daily.
Yadav however, said it was not clear as to what house matter Hemraj was blamed of telling outsiders.
Talwars' lawyer Rebecca John said the application would have no implication in the case since the case had now been considered by the SC.
"These are serious allegations. Why didn't she come forward before? Why had she been hiding for three years?" Jones questioned.
Khumkala said life had been incredibly difficult for her and her family due to the murder of the only bread winner of the family. "It has been extremely difficult for us to move on. We are facing all kinds of hardship," She said.
Khumkala's son-in-law Jeevan Sharma said she wanted to come to Delhi immediately after the murder to seek justice but she could not to so because she could not afford to come here from her residence in Arghakhanchi. Sharma said this time his mother-in-law could come only because a Nepali Diaspora association paid for her trip.
Sharma said his in-laws were hopeful that they would finally get the justice.
"Our priority is to get the culprits behind bar and then to seek compensation," Sharma said. Running family has become extremely difficult for the Banjade family. Khumkala's only son Prjwol is sick for last two years and has been treated by a hospital at Varanasi. Khumkala's mother-in-law Krishna Kumari is too old and needs to be taken care of all the time. "Everybody in the family is sick. My mother-in-law (Khumkala) can not move her hand. I have been helping her and my brother-in-law with the treatment but I myself have problem meeting expenses for my family," Sharma said.
He said after all his in-laws were the citizens of Nepal and therefore the government of Nepal and other welfare agencies had a responsibility to provide some help so that they could at least eat two meals a day.
"My father in-law had a dream of schooling my brother in-law in a convent school but now the family only hopes him to recover and grow so that he could earn to feed the family. The grief for the family is too much to bear," Sharma said.
Offering temporary relief to the Talwar couple, the Supreme Court last week had stayed the criminal proceedings against Rajesh and Nupur Talwar in the case.
The Allahabad High Court had dismissed Talwars' plea seeking quashing of the proceedings initiated by the lower court which not only refused the closure report of CBI but also summoned them as accused in the case.

Some of the MARU field studies were collaborations with the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory. MARU researchers conducted definitive studies on Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis in Central America, and several viral infections that are transmitted by tropical sandflies. In the mid-1970s, as a harbinger of decreasing U.S. government commitment to international health research, MARU left the NIH to become part of the Gorgas Laboratory.
In 1960, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) established the International Centers for Medical Research and Training (ICMRT) program to further support tropical disease research of benefit to U.S. citizens. In collaboration with foreign universities and government agencies, the program provided long-term overseas research training for U.S. scientists. ICMRT grants resulted in broadly productive research programs that studied a wide variety of infectious and noninfectious diseases. In 1979, as part of an overall plan to scale back its involvement in research training activities, the NIAID discontinued the ICMRT program.
The establishment of a new laboratory (particularly on foreign soil), its staffing, and the development of a reputation for carefully conducted, rigorous scientific work are tasks that cannot be accomplished overnight. It is unfortunate that the U.S.-supported overseas laboratories discussed above were, for varying reasons, either discontinued or forced to scale back their efforts. Their achievements had a profound impact on the level of scientific knowledge of many previously known and newly recognized infectious diseases and their causative agents. A further loss is the many opportunities they provided for U.S. scientists to develop overseas field experience and to collaborate with foreign scientists and institutions, thereby acquiring infectious disease surveillance information of importance to U.S. monitoring activities.
The purposes and entities discussed briefly below constitute current U.S. efforts in international infectious disease surveillance, most of which is conducted through passive monitoring.
The NIAID's International Centers for Tropical Disease Research (ICTDR) program. Established as a means to provide more cohesion to existing and newly initiated programs in tropical infectious disease research, the ICTDR program laboratories, because of their geographic distribution (see Table 3-2 above), are well situated to conduct surveillance for new and

first time to WDW with son with Cerebral Palsy
this is our first family trip to disney and my husband hasn't been there in YEARS!!!! I need help making sure I have all my planning pretty much done...help!!!
I'm pretty much all packed, have our reservations made for meals, we have purchased our tickets. We will be there Monday March 11-Monday March 18. We are staying at Kidani villas at AK.
I guess what I'm worried about is getting the most of our experience. I hear ppl talking about rope drop and all that stuff at MK. My son has cerebral palsy so I'm wanting to get there as early as I can so he doesn't have to wait in lines too long. Any ideas?? Do they have a pass or something for children with disabilities?
Also....if we plan on being there at rope drop what do you think the best way to get the full experience is...like where should we start in the park? I've got maps lol I'm just not sure! haha

How severe is your DS's CP? Can he walk?
If he can...I would suggest getting a Guest Assistance Card. You can read more about them in the disabilities faq sticky on the thread. You can pick it up at guest services. Note, it is not a front of the line pass...often times you will be longer in line than the normal line...but usually offers seating and a little quieter area than the regular line. This works well for those who can not endure standing in lines for long periods of time.
If he can not walk...getting a stroller with a special tag to make it to a wheelchair, or if he already has his own adapted wheelchair obviously bring that. You will need to get this tag at guest services as well.
Most of all, I know you want to make the most out of the trip, and actually taking your time and doing what adaptations you know are necessary is the best way to go about it. If you cram in too much, everyone becomes grumpy, melt downs are inevitable, and it takes more time than if you had gone at a comfortable pace in the first place! Rope drop is a nice experience...but if you don't make it ...don't worry about it! There is plenty more magic in the parks at all times during the day that everyone will enjoy! Have fun!
If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme, when you wish upon a star your dreams come true!

Thanks for the response. He can walk...but not for long periods of time. We are taking his adaptive stroller and planning on using that. So what is this tag thing we should look into? Also, how do i find out what time rope drop is?? is that just when the parks open? any info you can give me is greatly appreciated. thanks

Ok..you will need to get the stroller tag that says it is being used for a wheelchair. You can get this at guest relations..just ask a cm where to find it...it is usually located toward the front of the park. I would also suggest getting a Guest Assistance Card( same place to get this) in case you want to stow the stroller somewhere for a while and have him walk. The card allows you the same adaptations as the stroller with the pass will get you.
Rope drop is just at the beginning of park opening. IT is a little show they put on aboutm10 min. Before opening. You can see it here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=r...&v=tqAmPMWTWh4

I moved this from the disABILITIES Community Board to the disABILITIES Board, which is more for trips.
You can find the disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of this board or follow the link in my signature. Post 6 is about Guest Assistance Cards - thy are not disability passes - just cards that help communicate what assistance someone needs because of their disability.
One correction - even with a GAC, most lines do not provide a place to sit.
You will find a lot of helpful information in the disABILITIES FAQs thread - post one is an index to what information is in the restof the thread.

The FAQ sticky at the top of the disAbilities forum has a tremendous amount of good, up-to-date information for you. Rewardsinlife has given some good suggestions too about expectations and not trying to do everything. Starting the day early, using FastPasses and a touring plan will provide the most help with lines; but other than that there are no guaranteed ways to avoid lines or shorten waits. But with some planning you should have a good time without stressing yourself or your son too much. A GAC is need-based, not diagnosis-based, so when you go to Guest Relations just tell them about your son's needs (i.e., cannot walk for long periods of time). Mid-March is a fairly busy time of year so as long as you arrive prepared to deal with crowds you should be good.
Feel free to ask more specific questions after you check-out the FAQs. Enjoy your vacation!

It seems that everywhere we've gone this week people have been talking about one thing in particular: the mysterious bottles that have washed up on the shores of Islay containing messages written by "Doc" Emmett L. Brown way back in 1859!
This was, as you may know unless you've been living under a rock (you do read all my blogs with avid enthusiasm, right?), part of our third competition for Feis Ile 2013. Everybody who found a bottle was told to meet at the clock tower at Laphroaig distillery at 12 noon on Wednesday 29th May 2013 - their prize for doing so was a full bottle of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's brand new Caol Ila (worth £54.95) AND the chance to feature on our next cultish comic book-style label!

The letter reads:
Dear Commander Bond,
I write to you today in the gravest of circumstances.
It has been brought to my attention that you have been seen - in public no less - consuming that most un-gentlemanly of concoctions. Lager-beer.
The exact circumstances of this sighting I have been unable to ascertain - the employee in question ran into my office quite incoherent before crouching in the corner, and having to be chemically 'calmed' by our nurse. Contained within his ramblings however, there was definitely something about a train, a bar, and some arms made of ice?

So – a few weeks back you may remember we launched a couple of 'experimental' cocktails - the Hanky Panky and the Boulevardier. The good news on this front is that the Hanky Panky has rapidly earned itself a promotion to the exalted ranks of the main series of the Handmade Cocktail company's core offering, such was its popularity. I've just got to do a bit more mucking about with it (I've been experimenting with some of the fresh oak barrels we've recently acquired, and it takes exceptionally well to a bit of this – so it's going to get some oak influence methinks) and with any luck it'll be out before Christmas.

So – Summer's here. Sort of. From time-to-time. When it's not flooding or what-have-you. With this in mind, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth has turned his attention to perhaps the most quintessentially British drink that there is – the Summer Fruit Cup. Now – it's worth noting that there are several other cups on the market, from the Ubiquitous Pimm's, through several distillers' own recipes (Chase is rather good – coming soon – watch this space) to the really rather excellent Sipsmith. There was one thing that the Professor had deemed to be missing from all of these concoctions though – pure, distilled Madness*. More...

The handsome devils at The Handmade Cocktail company have mixed a very tasty martinez, the latest addition to a range of superbly convenient cocktails.
The origins of the martinez are mysterious. More mysterious than people who profess to enjoy Coldplay; more mysterious than the location of Mike's passport; more mysterious even than the fact Greg Wallace keeps getting presenting jobs.
Stories as to the provenance of the martinez abound; some say it was created by legendary bartender "Professor" Jerry Thomas at The Old Occidental Hotel in San Francisco to satiate a thirsty miner on his way to the town of Martinez. More...

We are soon approaching that quadrennial day in which we un-married men must hide fearfully from our other halves in case they try to enslave us in a life of penury and servitude. That's right – the 29th February. I have already prepared for myself the finest secret cellar this side of Austria, and plan on sequestering myself away in it for the duration of the day.
Marriage-related terror aside, the idea of gaining an extra day is rather novel, and so we've set about creating a very special something by means of celebration – the Secret Leap Year Cocktail (OK - naming things isn't our strong suit). We're also giving away a pretty exciting prize too…More...

How to Use Rubber Stamps for Your Craft Projects

Follow these rubber stamping tutorials for tips and ideas on using your rubber stamps with ink, water-based markers and paint. It's easy and stamps can make beautiful embellishments on your projects.
Rubber Stamping
- Rubber stamp(s)
- Ink Pad, water-based markers, or paint
- Surface to Stamp
Step by Step
Stamp and Ink Pad
- Your ink can be dye or pigment ink. Tap the rubberstamp to the surface of the inkpad several times. Check stamp to make sure the entire image is evenly inked. Lightly tap to the inkpad because using a heavy hand will cause damage to the pad over time and over-ink your image.
- You can also tap the inkpad to your rubberstamp to ink it. Try both ways and see, which you prefer.
- Place paper (or other surface to stamp) on a hard even surface like a desk or countertop. Gently press inked stamp to paper. Do not rock or wiggle the stamp. Lift stamp straight up.
Stamp and Water-based Markers
- Never use permanent markers. Permanent ink will damage the rubberstamp.
- Set rubberstamp on your worktable or work with the rubberstamp in your hand with the image or rubber side up. Using water-based markers color directly to the rubber image. This technique allows you the greatest variety of coloring the image before it is stamped. When done coloring the stamp you will need to breath or huff on the image to make sure all the marker colors are still wet enough to stamp an image. The colors should have a light sheen signaling you that the marker ink is wet.
- Place paper (or other surface to stamp) on a hard even surface like a desk or countertop. Gently press inked stamp to paper. Do not rock or wiggle the stamp. Lift stamp straight up.
Stamp and Paint
- You'll need a sponge or paper towel to stamp with paint. Sponge paint onto rubberstamp image or spread paint onto a paper towel and tap stamp onto paint.
- Stamp firmly, but not too forcefully onto your surface. If you press to hard you can make the paint squeeze to the sides of the rubber image and leave a sloppy looking image.
- Paint is often used for home décor pieces of canvas and wood.
- You can also use paint glazes with this technique.

US takes charge in Haiti - with troops, rescue aid
The military was struggling Thursday to figure out how to bring in supplies and troops with a badly damaged sea port and severely congested airport. An early assessment team identified helicopters as a top priority to help ferry supplies and victims, as well as the ability to purify water and clear roads.
By next Monday, as many as 5,500 U.S. infantry soldiers and Marines were scheduled to arrive, said Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman. The first soldiers, from the 82nd Airborne Division, arrived Thursday, and were to be followed by 800 more soldiers on Friday. About 2,200 Marines also had been deployed.
The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson was expected Friday with 19 helicopters onboard, followed by other Navy ships that could also provide air lift, medical help and clean water. A large hospital ship with 12 operating rooms, known as the USNS Comfort, was to get to Haiti a week later.
Associated Press writers Anne Flaherty, Pauline Jelinek, Matthew Lee and Julie Pace contributed to this report.

McMahon, Doyle Ease into Breaststroke Semi-Final's at European Championships
Sycerika McMahon and Fiona Doyle have secured places in tonight's 50m Breaststroke semi-finals at the European Swimming Championships in Berlin.
McMahon, swimming in heat 4 of 5, swam a new lifetime best of 31.02 and finished 3rd in her heat to go through as the fifth fastest qualifier for the semi-final. The 19 year old won Silver at the European Championships in 2012 in the event in 31.27 seconds, her previous best of 31.12 stands from the Commonwealth Games in July.
Fiona Doyle progressed to the semi-final in 13th place overall. Doyle's time of 31.63 was just .7 of a second off her best and Irish Senior Record of 30.93.
World Record Holder in the 50m Breaststroke Ruta Meilutyte returned from the World Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China which finished yesterday with two Gold medals in the 50m and 100m Breaststroke to qualify with the fastest time for tonight's semi-final in 30.73 seconds.
The 50m Breaststroke semi-final's take place at 3.21pm with both McMahon and Doyle in the second race.
Less than 20mins after the 50m Breaststroke heats McMahon was back in the water for the 200m Butterfly Heats. The Texas A&M swimmer swam her second personal best of the morning touching in 2:13.75 knocking over a second off her previous best of 2:15.22 from the European Junior Swimming Championships in Serbia in 2011. She missed out on the semi-final in the event by just one tenth of a second with Russia's Yana Martynova claiming the final position in 2:13.66.
Dan Sweeney finished his Europeans campaign with a lifetime best swim in the 50m Freestyle. Sweeney took over half a second off his previous best of 24.67 to touch in 24.07 seconds.

USS Active, a 296-ton tug, was built for commercial use at San Francisco, California, in 1888. The Navy acquired her in April 1898 while preparing for the Spanish-American War. She was renamed USS Lively in 1918 and remained in service on the U.S. west coast until decommissioned in 1926.
Lively was sold in 1930, when she again became a commercial tug. Chartered for World War II Navy service in March 1942 and designated YT-323 (YTM-323 from 1944), she operated in west coast and Alaskan waters. At the end of the War, the tug was returned to her owners. She was finally scrapped in 1963.

3 Growing Bank Stocks for Black Friday
3. First Republic Bank
Shares of First Republic Bank (FRC) of San Francisco closed at $33.78 Wednesday, returning 11% year-to-date, following a 5% return in 2011.
The shares trade for 1.7 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $20.37, and for 11.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $2.93. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $2.96.
First Republic had $32.6 billion in assets as of Sept. 30. The bank has offices in with offices in California, Oregon, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, focusing on private banking and jumbo mortgage lending.
The bank on Nov. 2 announced a deal to acquire Luminous Capital of Los Angeles, which is an investment advisor with $5.5 billion in assets under management. The cost of the deal was not disclosed, but the First Republic reassured investors by saying that "the six partners of the firm will sign long-term employment contracts as part of the transaction," which is expected to close by the end of the year.First Republic reported third-quarter earnings available to common stockholders of $97.0 million, or 72 cents a share, increasing from $87.8 million, or 66 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011. The company said that "Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $78.7 million, up 43% from last year's third quarter. On this non-GAAP basis, the third quarter diluted EPS were $0.54, up 29% year over year." Third-quarter net interest income was $298.8 million, increasing 3% sequentially, and 11% year-over-year. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding accretion and amortization of fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting, the third-quarter net interest margin was 3.47%, expanding from 3.41% the previous quarter, but narrowing from 3.49% a year earlier. First Republic's total loans grew by 27% year-over-year, to $26.3 billion, as of Sept. 30. The Bank's operating return on assets was 1.27% and its return on average tangible common equity was 13.87% during the third quarter, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. Jefferies analyst Casey Haire on Tuesday upgraded First Republic to a "Buy" rating from a "Hold" rating, while increasing his price target for the shares to $39 from $35, saying that the "the addition of Luminous is not only accretive to EPS (2% in our view) but also boosts FRC's fee contribution into the mid-teens (vs. 12% in 2011), & thus decreases the company's reliance on spread income." In light of disappointing cross-selling results from some of the largest U.S. banks, including Bank of America and Citigroup (C), following major acquisitions, First Republic may be quite successful in its integration of Luminous Capital, because of its focus on high-net-worth clients and reputation for strong customer service. Haire said that "on the Luminous side, the firm can now recommend banking products to its clientele without worrying about tarnishing its brand due to poor service quality. For FRC, the addition of Luminous provides the company with a reputable & established team to extract more wealth management business from its borrower base, which is under-penetrated from a wealth management perspective (only 25% of FRC clients participate)." The analyst raised his 2013 earnings estimate for First Republic $2.26 a share from $2.21, while raising his 2014 EPS estimate to $2.49 from $3.27, saying that the benefit of the Luminous acquisition would be partially "offset by last week's

2000 Pontiac Montana Base Extended Review
Looks, gas milage, seats 8, roomy, pulls loads well
poor door trim, bumper trim, and will not last like a Toyota
A Great Vehicle For Long Trips, Hauling And Good Gas Milage Too. — Great Gas Milage (avg 25+ MPH) still looks great after 10 years - inside sliding door and bumper trim not very good - some problems but overall I have really enjoyed having it. It's fun to drive and a real work-hourse. I have used this vehicle to tow a trailer when moving from Gerogia to Tennessee and also moving tractor or hauling dirt. It pulls very well.

Reliable, family friendly, and roomy.
Too big since I don't have kids or tow around large things and it costs TOO much money to fuel.
The Family Van For A Single College Student. — I HATE the gas mileage on this van since it costs as much as a larger truck. Besides the little tv that's in it there's not much else too special about it. It's reliable but after all these years it's beginning to cost too much money to fix.

The size and room
costly repairs
Be Aware — Very nice van....lots of room, but these vans have all the same problems, like window regulators, intake & heag gaskets (3000$ repair), tranny cooler lines, fuel lines.....lucky i'm a mechanic and the repair costs me very little.. so i like this van. It drives nice and has enough power.

uncomfortable seats. styling, safety. traction control available? loud and noisy engine.
Worst Minivan Ever! — Loud Engine Noise Body is too weak Cheap Interior gas mileage is awkward this car is not fun to drive, ownership cost is okay does not meet my standards. could be better, could come with more safety equipment headrest are very intruding overall, the worst i have experienced. I'd rather pick an import.

I Love My Van! — A few things here and there that I don't like, but overall a nice van. I like the fact that its compact (and easy to drive) yet still has lots of room for everything I need it for. Unfortunately I didn't know it was one of the lowest on the consumer's report until after I bought it. But I'm actually glad I did. I really do love my van!

Still Hot, Why Not?
Share Your Husband, Please!
Rarely do I get invited to a dance party. Folks my age don't throw them. We're too tired, too arthritic, or too dead. So, I was thrilled when my friend Luna called to say that her ex-boyfriend was throwing a dance party for his 66th birthday, and he said it was okay to bring me.
I got out my dancing shoes. Yes, I have dancing shoes: cushioned heels. I keep them in the drawer with the condoms, which I've labeled "Museum." I looked through my closet and found a sexy little dress. Then, I put on pants. I did my hair, located my eyes, and pinned up my neck. Danced to some James Brown to get in the mood, and headed out to the parté!!!
The room was dark. People stood in little circles, holding glasses of wine, chatting. When I overheard the word "diagnosis," I knew I was in the right place. And there was my friend Luna, elegant and lovely as ever, talking to the birthday boy. After making polite conversation about our current prescription plans, I took Luna aside.
"Who are the single men?" I asked her.
"There aren't any," she replied.
"There aren't any?" I asked, sliding my expectations from meet-love-of-life, straight through get-a-date, past do-something-stupid and into oy. "Are all the men here married?"
"Every one???"
I mean, okay. I'm used to New York parties. Where there are always small herds of lovely unattached women and that one guy in the corner squeezing an olive out of his nose, but really: every guy at the party, is married??? How can that even be?
"Some of them are just in relationships, but yeah," Luna clarified. "I know them all," she went on, as I batted away the impulse to deck her. Why had she not told me? Would I have come? Okay, I consoled myself, I do not need a man in my life (said it before you did) and I can still have fun, and the music is loud, and…
A man came up. "Would you care to dance?" he asked, extending his hand and giving me the once-over with sexy eyes under bristled brows and a bald head. I didn't see a wife or girlfriend nearby. She could be any of these women chatting about colonoscopies.
"Sure!" I replied, and jumped onto the floor. And thus began two hours of nonstop dancing to the Stones, Franklin, Gaye, Beatles, Pickett, Procol Harem, Zeppelin, Sam Cook and the Supremes. Somebody told me I'm a great dancer. Somebody asked me where I'd learned to dance. Somebody said, "In one of those cages." I got a little drunk. I was having fun, when…
The door opened. And in walked another couple. The man was my ideal. The woman was his wife. Now, I am not prone to envy, except when I look at people, watch TV, or sleep. But, I envied that woman. I looked around the room. The men were mostly ancient-looking (how men my age look to me now). Yet, I envied their wives.
All the women had someone to go home with that night. Is this fair? There aren't enough desirable men to go around, ladies. Please, don't make me go Big Love. Share. What would that mean? I haven't worked out the details. I do know you'd have the chance to be the only woman at a party who dances crazy, wild, and sexy—and that is fun.

Catholic faithful watch Pope Francis' inaugural Mass
HARTFORD -- More than 50 people, both priests and parishioners, braved the snow today to head down to the Cathedral of St. Joseph in the predawn hours to watch the installation Mass of Pope Francis.
The six-hour time difference between here and Vatican City meant an early start for members of the Hartford Archdiocese. The Mass got started just before 4:30 a.m. eastern standard time and lasted about two hours.

Between 5 and 6 P.M. eastern time on August 13, 1997, the TimeServ service may have begun consuming 100 percent of your system's resources.
This problem appears to be caused by a change in the United States Naval Observatory's time server. At this time, the problem does not appear to be caused by an error in the TimeServ utility, or by a malicious attack.
Change the TimeServ.ini file to use a Simple Network Time Protocol Server instead of a TCP/IP Server by using the following steps.
NOTE: These steps will not work correctly if you are behind a firewall that passes TCP but not UDP (datagrams).
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

GE: Time To Rethink Electric Utility Regulation
Nearly one year ago, Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast of the United States, leaving 72 dead, damaging 650,000 homes and knocking out power for 8.5 million Americans 1. This anniversary serves as a reminder of the challenges facing electric distribution companies as they plan for the future design and operation of the power grid. These utilities are expected to improve their resiliency during severe weather events, replace aging infrastructure, integrate greater quantities of renewable and distributed generation and secure their systems against cyber and physical attacks.
"Tackling today's emerging challenges is a daunting task for utilities, considering that most operate under a regulatory model set in the first half of the last century," said David Malkin, director of Government Affairs and Policy for GE's Digital Energy business. "If we wish to build out a modern grid—one that meets these challenges and delivers long-term value to consumers—then we must rethink how utilities are currently regulated."
GE (NYSE: GE) today released a new report outlining the benefits of modernizing the power grid, hurdles that impede the upgrade of U.S. electrical infrastructure and how moving to a results-driven regulatory model could support the transition to an efficient, reliable and sustainable power system.
The report, titled Results-Based Regulation: A Modern Approach to a Modern Grid, finds that the current model impedes a utility's ability to recover fixed costs and discourages much-needed capital investment. Today's increased expectations of utilities arise at a time of slowly growing, flat or declining sales, as total U.S. electricity sales decreased by 1.8 percent in 2012 and have fallen in four of the last five years 2. This dilemma is rooted in the fact that the rates of most electric distribution companies continue to be set under a model focused on the utility's cost of service rather than on delivering value to customers."We are in the early stages of modernizing the power grid, with many utilities across the country reporting promising results," Malkin said. "But these utilities continue to face cost recovery rules that can negatively impact their cash and earnings, and may compel them to defer needed capital investments. Equally important, most utilities have little incentive to improve efficiency or service quality beyond the minimum levels required by regulators. Given these conditions, it's not clear that the current regulatory model will support the investments needed to meet today's challenges."

Unlike Phil, I can't say that I enjoyed the 128i more than the Z4, but that might just be because I didn't get to spend very much time in the 1-series. If I had, it'd be a tough call, because both droptop Bimmers are heaps of fun. The 128i doesn't have the Z4's (or the 135i's) twin-turbo straight six, but this normally aspirated engine still sounds fantastic and begs you to keep the revs high. The six-speed stick encourages you to play, too. 1-series gearboxes are notably better than other BMW boxes I've shifted (although I've not driven a 3-series recently); the movement is still nice and slick, but the annoying slop is gone in these cars.
The 1-series isn't the most masculine-looking automobile, but it looks fairly tough in this bright blue hue. In fact, if I were going to buy a 1-series, I think I'd spec it just like this car, but with one additional option - heated seats - and possibly without the sport package. Otherwise, this bare-bones 128i is very good. No nav, no iDrive, no bling - just a sweet-handling, nicely balanced, droptop that fits you like a glove.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt
My name is Apple!
Facts about Apple
- Breed: Dachshund
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Apple's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Apple is a retired breeder dog. She is beautiful. She is called a red dapple. She is a little anxious with transition but is okay was she orientates. She has learned potty pad training. She loves attention and loves to sit with you.
I had to pass Apple off to a foster because she is stealing my heart. She is feeling so much better once she got spayed.
I said we misnamed her. She should be Queeny. I walked into the doggy room and Apple was sitting up on the ottoman with 3 maile dogs sitting on the floor looking up at her. She was a typical lady and loved the attention. Barking at them telling them what to do. It really was cute.
She has been spayed, deep clean dental, nail trim, rabies shot, heartworm tested, distemper/parvo and microchip.
Other Pets at SRL Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Apple, a MINNEAPOLIS Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in MINNEAPOLIS, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in MINNEAPOLIS.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in MINNEAPOLIS already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a MINNEAPOLIS breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in MINNEAPOLIS paves the way for another one to be saved.
