Linn County Landfill Turns Trash into Energy
LINN COUNTY, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- A Linn County waste converter is turning trash into power.
The Linn County Solid Waste Agency displayed its landfill "gas-to-energy" system today.
The system captures landfill gases and turns them into electricity.
In the months since the generator began running, reports show that more electricity is being created than originally predicted.
Officials say the system is an energy investment for the county's future.
In October alone, the system generated enough electricity to power more than 1,100 homes in Linn County.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

AP Exclusive: Kuwait may host US Iraq backup force
AP, Thursday 8 Sep 2011
The Obama administration is considering staging American troops in Kuwait
next year as a backup or rotational training force for Iraq, after the
Pentagon completes the scheduled withdrawal of its current 45,000-strong
force from Iraq in December, U.S. officials said.
The proposal, not yet publicly announced, is among a number of options the
administration is considering for extending its military training role in
still-violent Iraq, whose divided government has been reluctant to
directly ask Washington to keep troops on its soil beyond this year.
All troops are to depart Iraq by Dec. 31 under a 2008 security agreement,
but senior U.S. officials are concerned that without more training the
Iraqi forces may squander hard-won security gains. The Iraqi army, for
example, is only now taking delivery of U.S. battle tanks, on which they
have yet to be trained.
Iraq's security forces are improving but still lack the capability to
fully defend Iraqi air space, borders and territorial waters, U.S.
military officers say.
"There are some gaps in their military capabilities, their security
capabilities, that we believe we could offer some assistance with," Navy
Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
Thursday. Discussions with the Iraqis on this are in an early stage, Kirby
The Obama administration favors a proposal that would leave 3,000 to 5,000
U.S. troops in Iraq next year to train Iraqi forces, U.S. officials said
this week. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Iraq has
not yet asked for any extension of forces.
It has not previously been reported that staging U.S. forces in Kuwait as
a part of that training mission - or possibly in addition to that mission
- is under consideration. No decisions have been made, and it was not
clear whether direct talks with the Kuwaiti government have begun.
Kuwait has played a key role in the Iraq war from its beginning. The bulk
of U.S. ground forces launched the invasion from Kuwaiti territory in
March 2003, and the tiny Gulf state has served as a transit point for
coalition supply convoys and air transport throughout the conflict. The
U.S. uses Kuwaiti air and land bases and maintains a small force in the
country now. The Iraq backup forces would be in addition to that
The final stage of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq began this week,
and discussions with the Iraqi government on extending a U.S. military
presence beyond 2011 began in August. Those talks are being led by the
State Department. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said this week that no
decisions have been made about any potential troop extension, although he
said an extended U.S. training mission is at the core of the talks.
Iraqi leaders are fearful that issuing a formal invitation for U.S. forces
to stay would trigger a political backlash from their own followers,
including some who have threatened widespread violence and attacks on the
troops if they do not leave. For that reason, one option under U.S.
consideration is to have a portion of the U.S. training force based in
Kuwait; they would rotate into Iraq for limited periods, and return to
Kuwait, one official said.
Several U.S. officials said the Kuwait option is under consideration. They
spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to
publicly discuss the diplomatically sensitive matter. Kuwait's defense
attache in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.
Another option under Pentagon consideration is positioning a small U.S.
combat force in Kuwait that could rush into Iraq in the event of a
security problem or to target an insurgent threat, two officials said.
Another possibility is to retain in Kuwait some of the U.S. ground combat
equipment that is being pulled out of Iraq, instead of shipping it back to
the U.S. It could be kept in Kuwait as so-called "pre-positioned" war
materiel, one official said.
Kirby and the Pentagon's press secretary, George Little, said they would
not discuss any aspect of a possible U.S. troop extension.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's new chief of staff and a former top commander
in Iraq, told reporters Thursday that he could not comment on the
appropriate number of U.S. troops that should be kept in Iraq for training
purposes next year. But he emphasized the need to keep the number small.
"When I was leaving Iraq a year ago, I felt we had to be careful about
leaving too many people in Iraq," Odierno said. He added later, "The
larger the force that we leave behind," the more the negative Iraqi views
of the Americans as occupiers would remain, "and we get away from why we
are really there - to help them to continue to develop."
Odierno also said he has seen indications lately that the Iraqis may need
less U.S. military help in tamping down Arab-Kurd tensions in northern
Iraq than previously assumed. He said some had believed 5,000 U.S. troops
were needed for that purpose. But if the Iraqis in fact are capable of
handling that on their own, "then we won't need those 5,000," he said.

Shannon Grove recognizes Kern County women in Military service
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) recognized three Kern County military service members at the capitol this week to highlight women in the armed forces. Veterans Kathryn Nilon and Diane Baker and active-duty service member Sandra Presson, all of Bakersfield, were honored for their dedication to our country.
"These women paved the way for their fellow female service members and it is an honor to recognize them for their determination," said Grove. "We need to recognize those who shaped our military and thank them for their leadership."
The Kern County service members reflect three different eras of women in the armed forces. Kathryn Nilon served in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) medical service in 1951 and 1952, during the Korean War. The WAC, a branch of the U.S. Army created to enlist women into the armed service, was created during World War II. Nilon worked at the Murphy Army Hospital in Massachusetts. Diane Baker served in the U.S. Air Force from 1973 to 1978, and was the first female to be stationed as a mental health specialist on the psychiatric ward at March Air Force Base in southern California. This role enabled her to treat men returning from combat in Vietnam. She is now a fifth grade teacher at College Heights Elementary School in Bakersfield, where she leads a school-wide drive to provide hundreds of letters to veterans participating in the Kern County "Honor Flight." Chief Petty Officer Presson enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserves in 1996 and performs her active duty time at the Navy Medical Center in San Diego, where she serves as the senior enlisted leader for an 18-member detachment. When not serving as a reservist, she works as a registered nurse in Bakersfield.
Assemblywoman Grove acknowledged the women on the floor of the State Assembly on Thursday during the introduction of House Resolution 11, a measure she co-authored to recognize women in the armed forces. Grove, who served in the U.S. Army, was the first female veteran in the California State Assembly and is a member of the Assembly Committee on Veterans Affairs.

Last year I planted hollyhocks in our back yard and this year they bloomed wonderfully. However as soon as they became heavy with blooms the spider mites moved in and they started flopping. I suspect the major flopping was due to limited sun and water runoff from the lawn. Also I have roses planted relatively close by so the spider mite issue was a real problem.
I want to move them in the spring. My choices are plant them in various large containers or a really hot, dry spot with kind of iffy soil along the fence. If neither of those will work I'll probably give them away. Thank you. Kate |

My choice would be the hot, dry location with iffy soil :-)) Hollyhocks are pretty tough plants that seem to thrive with minimal attention - too lush growing conditions tend to make them more vulnerable to problems, like the spider mites and rust. |
- Posted by christinmk z5b WA (My Page) on Sun, Nov 2, 08 at 19:28
Hi Kate! I too would go with the hot/dry situation instead of the pot. Hollyhocks have long tap-roots that do not like to be disturbed. I have gotten a few to transplant though. Just make sure to water them for awhile after. Even with the largest of pots I don't think they would like it much. They will likely get yellowed leaves in the dry spot, so consider planting something in front of them. Hope this helps. CMK |
- Posted by katefisher Z7_NorthernCA (My Page) on Mon, Nov 3, 08 at 9:01
Thank you both very much. Well that's what I needed:) I suspect you are both correct, that the container thing would not work out well. GardenGal what you said was interesting about the spider mites especially. I noticed that one of my neighbors who has let his hollyhocks and CA poppies take over his side yard and does not water still has hollyhocks blooming and did not seem troubled by bugs at all. I think next year my husband and I will build a simple, shallow wood planter and put it on the top of the ground with the iffy soil. That way it will have some amended soil in the planter itself but they can still grow down into the ground. CMK, good suggestion about keeping them watered until I see new growth. I hope to do this early in Spring of 2009. I've been thinking of planting California poppy seeds in with them. Not sure what else might make it in a dry space like that which would also look pretty. It could be an annual or perennial and would have to love being hot and miserable all summer:) Appreciate the help, thanks again. Kate |

Out here in the high deserts of the Great Basin hollyhocks are a favorite because the grow so well in iffy soil along the fences. |

Albert: We aren't terribly far away from one another. I'm in Northern California specifically the town of Quincy, CA. We get more moisture than you folks though I suspect. Although this summer it rained exactly only for about five minutes. I'll definitely go for planting in the iffy soil option. Thanks. Kate |

I'm interested in your data point. Do you happen to remember about which kernel that was? There was some general badness that affected multiple file systems in late 2.6.13 on into 2.6.14 or so in the way that you describe. Not sure they ever really knew what the smoking gun was. Used JFS for about 6 months with the gentoo mips 2.6.13 kernel and did not find any issues. Briefly with Sparc32, but don't remember which kernel. On Intel, I've done extensive regressions with it. If anyone is interested, I have a thrasher script written specifically for this purpose. It's a multi-threaded ruby script that creates a randomized directory tree, with random files, containing random data. A CRC check is kept on each file. The threads run in parallel rewriting data in the middle of files, truncating, resizing, creating voids, forcing the file system into writing multiple extents, exercising tail packing, unlinking files with open handles, etc... -S- On Fri, 9 Feb 2007, Alex Deucher wrote: > On 2/9/07, J.

Of course the executioner Ismaaiyl Brinsley is a black criminal like those embraced by the left in their war vs. whites, police & country.
Not just deBlasio and Sharpton, but Obama and Holder have blood on their hands over these deaths for encouraging the lynch mobs.

Mr. Hillier, it would be good to know what you mean when you state, "… I do have a relationship with Telus.." Until you elaborate on that fact, isn't any thinking person forced to view what you have to say as simply looking out for Telus' and your own best interests? Doug Smith, Grand Falls-Windsor

With all due respect Gen. Hillier, if the 'playing field' were level the big three in Canada would bid amounts much higher than the available spectrum is worth just to deter competition. You speak of rural areas that won't be supported but when leaders in my area requested a cell tower to allow us to travel the two hour drive between Grand Falls and the communities of the south coast while still having basic communication in case of trouble on such a dangerous highway we were told that it won't happen because it isn't profitable. The problem for the big three is that they really are out of touch with the people that give them such huge rewards. Take a bit of a loss sometimes just to support the communities you speak of instead of looking at the bottom line every time why don't you.

The entire spectrum system is managed inefficiently, and profitability is not challenged enough within the big 3 providers to induce change. The radio spectrum is not some finite, bankable resource, no more than a rainbow is a pot of gold. Only will and imagination limit the advance of our capacity for voice and data transmission across the rural ether and within our cities. A level playing field may require a restructuring of how cell infrastructure is planned and a revision in the way the whole misguided business of spectrum allocation is managed by our government.

Makeup Bag
Too pricey for what it is. Not worth the money. — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful
Great bag!
Admittedly, I did get this as a free gift with purchase some years ago... But I have used the heck out of it! It's very durable--I've stuffed it full without any damage to the zipper (can't say the same for some dresses I own--oops) and it has kicked around my bathroom and luggage for YEARS now and has held up better than any other cosmetic bag I've ever owned. Inside the top there are wonderful l...read moreittle pockets to hold everything from brushes to tubes of gloss or mascara and there is a clear flap to prevent those things from falling out or mixing with the rest of the bag contents. The main part of this bag is not huge, but certainly large enough to hold some essentials. I am always able to fit all my makeup essentials for a weekend away in this bag. — 1 year, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

My husband and I are buying our first home, a 1000 sq ft apartment in NYC, and we've been trying to choose paint colors for what seems like ages.
Our main living area is a combined living room, dining room and small alcove that will eventually be a second bedroom. For now they are all one space. We also have a hallway that connects the kitchen, living room and bedroom. We've decided on Lenox Tan as our main color, but I fear using Lenox Tan for all of the living areas will be too dark. We are going with BM Montpelier in the bedroom and Wedgewood Gray in the bathroom. I'd like our kitchen to have white walls, but the color will depend on the trim, ceiling and doors. I originally thought using a bright white, like BM's Super White, for all of our baseboards, doors and ceilings would help brighten up the place, but over the weekend we bought a sample can of White Dove and really loved how it looked on some sample baseboards we are choosing from. Has anyone used Lenox Tan with White Dove? Any thoughts on whether Lenox Tan would "muddy" White Dove? I'm not sure about our light. We face West and it seems bright during the day, but we haven't been in the apartment at night yet. We will hopefully be able to paint samples on the walls this week, but we've purchased 18 sample cans already and I just can't bring myself to buy a Super White sample to compare to White Dove! If we do go with White Dove, any thoughts on slightly darker whites for the kitchen walls that also match Lenox Tan? I prefer to avoid whites with a very yellow or pink undertone. Thanks for your help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Following up on my previous post: We've decided on White Dove as our baseboard, ceiling and door color throughout the apartment, but after painting some sections of wall with various colors, we're back to the beginning. BM's Lenox Tan, Montpelier, Phlipsburg Blue and Blue Echo seemed extremely dark to me while Bleeker Beige was too gray for my husband, and Nimbus Gray read purple to him. We bought even more samples over the weekend and I really like Benjamin Moore's Pashmina, Manchester Tan and Smoke. Has anyone used these colors? Pashmina looks excellent painted on a book shelf in our current rental, but very dark on our new apartment wall. I've paired it with BM Smoke and will eventually paint it side by side with BM Nimbus Gray to see if these two colors can live side-by-side in our living space. Smoke seems very similar to Wedgewood Gray, and Manchester Tan seems perfect, but possibly a little boring? Your experiences with any of these colors would be appreciated! |

Home > JUICE UP YOUR LIFE WITH SUPERJUICES! |
by Dave Foreman
If you walk into a Vitamin Shoppe, you will find a large selection of super juices. They are not to be guzzled like the OJ you buy at the grocery store (unless you can afford it); these juices are so rich in nutrients, that just drinking a little each day can be quite beneficial. Super juices are what I like to call "functionally healthy" foods. They often contain no artificial colors and little sugar. They also contain other nutrients that promote health, like antioxidants and phytochemicals (plant chemicals). The benefit of juices is that they are easier to take for those of you who have issues swallowing tablets and capsules. Here are some other quick benefits: • Contain high levels of critical nutrients such as antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, anthocyanins, polysaccharides, etc. Let's take a quick look at these awesome super juices: Açai is a berry that comes fromthe rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon. It is considered one of nature's "super berries." Açai is loaded with phytochemicals, particularly polyphenols and anthocyanins – two of nature's most potent antioxidants. Black Cherry juice is loaded with antioxidants. I have some in my refrigerator right now. Black cherries are great, especially for those of you who have joint health issues. Black cherries are good for many health issues as well; cardiovascular health, eye health and immune system support would be at the top of my list. Blueberry juice is one of my personal favorites. It is often hard to find, but The Vitamin Shoppe has its own store brand, which takes the worry out of it. I love blueberry for its potent antioxidants and other nutritional components for all eye health concerns. This super food is at the top of my list for people with night blindness, macular degeneration and cataract concerns. Cranberry juice: I think we all know that cranberries are great for urinary tract health, but their benefits go beyond urinary system support. Cranberries are also helpful for cardiovascular health, immune health and eye health. If you are open to the capsule form, Cran- Max®would be the best source I can think of to get the healthful benefits of the juice, but in a much higher concentration. Goji has become one of the hottest juices to hit the market. Goji is an exotic super fruit that is valued for its reported anti-aging and antioxidant properties. The berries of the goji plant have been treasured for centuries by the Himalayan people. The goji berry is high in trace minerals, B-vitamins, amino acids and polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are naturally occurring compounds linked to all sorts of health benefits such as immune support, heart health and anti-aging. Goji has gained popularity because of a special feature on ABC News. There are a lot of peoplemarketing goji as the next "cure-all". Goji is great, but NOT a cure-all. I do recommend goji as part of your everyday diet. It can be mixed with any powder or liquid supplements you may be using. Mangosteen was the next big hitter to come to America.Mangosteen tastes great, and like goji juice, helps promote good health. It provides naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients and bioflavonoids − for a variety of health benefits. Mangosteen juice can be used as part of your everyday diet, and mixed with any powder or liquid supplements. Maqui superberry came onto the market a year or two ago. It was touted as the next, latest and greatest juice. I personally think it was over-hyped, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this juice is a great antioxidant, which means that it's good for heart health, eye health and immune health. Noni juice was one of the first super food juices to become popular. I think it is best for immune health challenges due to its high levels of polysaccharides. It also has great antioxidant potential, but it would not be at the top ofmy list for eye- and heart-health support. Pomegranate juice has been on the market for a few years now, yet interest in it is still growing, probably because there is science to back up the claims that it is loadedwith all sorts of antioxidants. In addition to the common benefit of antioxidants (immune health support) pomegranate has shown to be very heart healthy as well. One specific compound found in pomegranate (punicalagins) has been shown to specifically help heart health by impacting cholesterol, and the dilation of veins and arteries. This would be a great addition to your diet for those with heart health concerns. (Feel free tomix thiswith powder or liquid supplements as mentioned above.) As you can see, the use of these "super food" juices can provide a great health benefit and be part of your every day diet. Consider adding one or all of these amazing juices to your daily routine. I find that not only do they taste great, but they are great for you. |

Stars of 'Mixology' Take It to the Streets to Promote ABC Series
What better way to make sure people watch your show than to actually go out there and physically approach strangers on the street and, well, beg them to tune in.
Three of the stars of ABC's new comedy series Mixology — Andrew Santino, Blake Lee , and Craig Frank — did just that recently in Los Angeles, and luckily for everyone involved, no one called the police.
Instead, people were actually really receptive to the actors' pleas to watch their show … or perhaps it was their good looks, charm, and wit?
Mixology, about 10 singles in a New York City bar over the course of one night, premieres Wednesday, February 26, at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

Overpaid, underproductive and unmotivated. At points in the 2011-12 season, all three of these words have been used to describe both Pau Gasol and Carlos Boozer.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Who agreed to pay them this much?
Marc and Pau Gasol's respective starts to the 2011-2012 season have gone in completely opposite directions so far; but can it last for the duration of the year? Is Marc suddenly the best Gasol in the NBA?
Read More
So we go back to the timeout and I'm [upset], right? He goes, 'I was wide open.' 'Yeah, I know.' This is how I'm talking to him, like, during the game. I said, 'You're going to be open again, Kwame, because Rasheed is just totally ignoring you.' He said, 'Well, if I'm open don't throw it to me.' I was like, 'Huh?' He said, 'Don't throw it to me.' I said, 'Why not?' He said, well, 'I'm nervous. If I catch it and they foul me, I won't make the free throws.' I said, 'Hell no!' "I go to Phil [Jackson], I say, 'Hey Phil, take him out of the game.' He's like, 'Nah, let him figure it out.' So, we lose the game, I go the locker room, I'm steaming.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Has a top pick ever been such a punching bag?
Remember, Michael Jordan and Doug Collins selected Kwame Brown first overall with the Washington Wizards and quickly shattered his confidence.
Before bouncing around the league, Brown surfaced with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant, from the sound of things, was shocked by Brown's issues.
After all, the prep-to-pro post had all the physical tools: a strong physique, height, strength, and a wingspan.
Something was missing between the ears, though. For instance, who says don't pass me the ball if I am open?
A professional, even a blue-collar specialist, should want the ball when to keep opposing defenses honest.
It's no surprise the Lakers took off once they traded Brown, dropped Smush Parker, and upgraded their supporting cast.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: The mighty has fallen.
Not long ago, Adam Morrison was the darling of NCAA basketball and a lottery pick in the NBA draft. Sure, it didn't work with the Bobcats, but the swing won a championship or two as a practice piece for the Lakers.
Now Morrison, who is toiling away in the European leagues, is only news when he gets into a shoving match with his Serbian team.
Anyway, watch the clip and get at us with thoughts in the comment box below.
And whether you want to read a lot or a little into it, note this: When talking about the contrasting offensive styles Brown will show from Cleveland to here, the new Lakers' coach summarized the coming Lakers offense as feeding Gasol and Bynum inside, not being the Kobe show.
"This team is completely different from what I had in Cleveland," Brown said. "In Cleveland, I had a guy who liked to come off the top of the floor, liked to play in space and play pick-and-roll and make plays for others. Here, I've got two guys similar to what we had in San Antonio; you're able to throw them the ball on the block."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Can a new coach and his new philosophy create new results for the Los Angeles Lakers when the NBA season begins?
It's been a few months since Phil Jackson, the Hall of Fame coach and undisputed master of all things Zen, was replaced with Brown as sideline boss by the Lakers.
Brown, it seems, isn't scared to shake things up, and wants to utilize his super-sized front-court.
Translation: less Kobe Bryant, more Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol.
However, it's not known how Bryant, the club's reigning top dog and Alpha Male, will feel about sharing his lofty perch with Bynum and Gasol.
Bynum is attached to Jim Buss, the controversial son of long-time owner Jerry Buss. Many feel the younger Bynum to leave his imprint on the Lakers.
And Gasol's meltdown in last year's playoff shocked the mortgage industry, prompted a twitter tirade from Snopp Dogg, and led to a physical confrontation of sorts with Jackson.
So Bryant may or may not buy-in. One thing is certain: the Lakers will be different.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: If soccer players get to do it then why can't Terrence Williams of the Rockets?
In a recent summer run, Williams threw down an impressive jam over the Lakers' Derrick Caracter, and then celebrated by taking off his jersey and spiking it on the baseline.
Since this wasn't an NBA game, there was no technical foul, ejection, or whistle.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
Fours year ago when Shaq's production started to decline and he couldn't stay healthy the "Shaq is done" and "he wasn't that good" chatter began to commence amongst the haters. And in that four year period more and more people suddenly couldn't wait to see him gone. People that once marveled at his size and power now used those same traits as a reason to discredit him.

N we still gone winit if gasol biitch ass snap out of it!!
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: He's been smacked by his coach. He's dealing with internet rumors regarding his love-life. And he's been attacked via twitter by a rapper who says fo shizzle.
Yes, it's been a tough few days for Pau Gasol, the star power forward for the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers are the NBA's version of Hollywood. When you're winning, they love you. When you're losing, the knives, machetes, and daggers come out.
Here's the thing: the Lakers need Gasol. If the purple-and-gold is to have any chance of defeating the Dallas Mavericks, he must find his old form.
And fast.
After all, the Mavericks lead the Western Conference semi-finals 3-0. They're confident. They're loose. And they're determined. The Lakers, on the other hand, are none of the above in large part because of their Spaniard's struggles.
Gasol must battle on both ends of the floor. He must improve his offensive numbers, while doing a better job defensively against Dirk Nowtizki.
This only happens if he has support. So Coach Jackson has to stop embarrassing him during timeouts; the team's communications director must end the TMZ style gossip about his love life; teammates must have his back and silence one of the club's high profile fans.
Like it or not, Gasol is key to a comeback. And it won't happen if everyone around him is in attack mode.
--Oly Sandor.

Making Home Affordable Program In February 2009, the Obama Administration introduced a comprehensive Financial Stability Plan to address the key problems at the heart of the current crisis to get our economy back on track. A critical piece of that effort is Making Home Affordable, a plan to stabilize the housing market and help struggling homeowners get relief and avoid foreclosure. Homeowners can connect with free HUD-approved counseling organizations, locate free events in their area, find the application documents necessary to apply for the Making Home Affordable Program, as well as find answers to frequently asked questions, and much more.

Federal Financial Assistance Grants Grants.gov was established as a governmental resource named the E-Grants Initiative, part of the President's 2002 Fiscal Year Management Agenda to improve government services to the public. The concept has its origins in the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999, also known as Public Law 106-107. Public Law 106-107 has since sunset and is now known as the Grants Policy Committee. The web site is managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is a central storehouse for information on over 1,000 grant programs providing access to approximately $500 billion in annual awards. The initiative is partnered with many federal agencies to help communities and improve government services to the public.
Housing and Urban Development HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the need for quality affordable rental homes; utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; and transform the way HUD does business. HUD awards grants to organizations and groups for a variety of purposes. Working with local nonprofit organizations to invest in their communities through property rehabilitation and resell to first time home buyers and low to moderate income families. HUD is set up in 10 regional areas throughout the states. Boston Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont New York and New Jersey Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia Atlanta Georgia, Alabama, the Caribbean, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee Chicago Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin Fort Worth Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Oklahoma Kansas City Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska Denver Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming San Francisco California, Arizona, Nevada, American Samoa, Guam, and Hawaii Seattle Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Oregon
USDA Rural Development Programs Committed to reach people who live in areas that have historically been underserved by USDA Rural Development. A large part of this outreach effort will target very-low income residents residents who have traditionally made up a small portion of our borrowers, but who are in great need of assistance in finding quality, affordable housing in their communities. Community Facilities programs also have an important role to play in improving the lives of rural Americans, financing a wide range of essential community buildings. Community Facilities loans and grants expand access to health care in rural communities by financing hospitals, medical clinics and assisted living facilities.
Federal Housing Finance Agency The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) was created on July 30, 2008, when the President signed into law the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The Act created a regulator with all of the authorities necessary to oversee vital components of our country's secondary mortgage markets – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. In addition, this law combined the staffs of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB), and the GSE mission office at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). With a very turbulent market facing our nation, the strengthening of the regulatory and supervisory oversight of the 14 housing-related GSEs is imperative. The establishment of FHFA will promote a stronger, safer U.S. housing finance system.
Federal National Mortgage Association The Federal National Mortgage Association, commonly known as Fannie Mae, was set up as a stockholder-owned corporation chartered by Congress in 1968 as a government sponsored enterprise (GSE), but founded in 1938 during the Great Depression. The corporation's purpose is to expand the secondary mortgage market by securitizing mortgages in the form of mortgage backed securities, allowing lenders to reinvest their assets into more lending and in effect increasing the number of lenders in the mortgage market by reducing the reliance on thrifts. Rather than making home loans directly to consumers, Fannie Mae works with mortgage bankers, brokers and other primary mortgage market partners to help ensure they have funds to lend to home buyers at affordable rates. FNMA headquarters in Washington DC and services the United States through satellite offices such as Pasadena California, Mobile Alabama, Windsor Connecticut, Atlanta Georgia, Dallas Texas, Covington Louisiana, Boston Massachusetts, Portland Oregon, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Chicago Illinois, Chantilly Virginia, Herndon Virginia, and Seattle Washington.
Government National Mortgage Association Ginnie Mae was established in 1968 to promote affordable home ownership. As a wholly-owned government corporation within the Department of HUD, Ginnie Mae expanded affordable housing in the U.S. by bringing global capital into the nation's housing finance markets. The Ginnie Mae guarantee allows mortgage lenders to obtain a better price for their loans in the capital markets. Lenders then can use the proceeds to make new mortgage loans available to consumers. This also helps to lower financing costs and create opportunities for sustainable, affordable housing for families seeking home ownership. Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities have been delivering results and creating affordable housing opportunities for over 30 million homeowners over the past 35 years.
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Freddie Mac, one of America's biggest buyers of home mortgages, is a public government sponsored enterprise (GSE). Chartered by Congress in 1970 to keep money flowing to mortgage lenders in support of homeownership and rental housing to buy and sell mortgage backed securities on the open market. Every day FHLMC helps millions of families in neighborhoods across America buy their own homes or enjoy quality and affordable rental housing by linking them to the world's capital markets. In the process reducing the costs of housing finance and expanding housing opportunities for all families, including low income and minority families. Freddie Mac has opened doors for more than 50 million families. FHLMC headquarters in Virginia and has branch offices in Los Angeles California, Carrollton Texas, Parker Colorado, Greenwood Village Colorado, Atlanta Georgia, Chicago Illinois, New York New York and Washington DC.

Manchester magazine Home Page
Touching lives today, touching lives tomorrow By the time she was 21, Alicia Roberts '01 had visited eight countries on three continents. And found her purpose.
"After seeing that the whole world didn't live like I did, I really wanted to give back," she says.
Back in her hometown of Indianapolis, she is assistant manager for access and outreach for education loan guarantor USA Funds, channeling corporate gifts to organizations that give young students the spark they need to ignite the dream — and the reality — of college.
"I had a whole host of mentors who guided me and helped me grow," she says of her four years at Manchester. Now, she's helping others attain that opportunity.
As a Manchester student, she traveled to Ghana for a class led by Dr. Benson Onyeji, associate professor of political science, and found her destiny and a major in economics: "I really wanted to do something that helped people better their lives."
After earning a master's degree in philanthropic studies at Indiana University, she joined USA Funds. "I'm passionate about the opportunities post-secondary education affords to students," she says. "There were so many people who supported my education. I want to continue the circle of giving."
She also gives back to her alma mater, through financial gifts and of her time and talent as a member of the Board of Trustees, the Alumni Board, and with service on the board of the Indianapolis Peace Institute, a collaboration of Manchester, Earlham and Goshen colleges.
She is certain that as she helps Manchester grow stronger, she also is increasing the value of her Manchester College degree.
Competitive excellence + MC values = Claude Wolfe Coach of the Year
The Indianapolis Colts say Scott Mannering '79 transforms — through his hard work and dedication to young people — "best available" athletes into high-potential football players. In 2006, the NFL team recognized Mannering as its Colts/NFL Coach of the Week among Indiana high school football coaches.
Manchester College had something to do with that.
"Probably perseverance was the best thing I got from my College experience," says Mannering. "Things didn't always go perfectly in school, or in football, but we had tremendous professors and coaches at MC."
Mannering's strong values and competitive excellence also have earned him acclaim from his alma mater — as the M Association's 2008 Claude Wolfe Coach of the Year.
Mannering has served 22 years as head coach of varsity football at Lewis Cass High School in Walton, Ind., where his Class 2A Kings finished 54-8 over the last five seasons, with two semi-state appearances. His 156-78 career has four sectional and three regional titles, and seven conference championships.
He also has coached middle school wrestling and track, high school swimming and basketball. His teaching includes weight training, junior high health and junior high physical education.
The Spartan football player held assistant coaching roles at Knox and Marion high schools and when he was a graduate assistant for Ball State University, where he earned a master's degree in physical education. Scott and Lisa Whitmyre '80 Mannering have three children, Clayton, Rory and Megan.
Woman on a mission, to change this world
If you want to change the world, you've got to change this world.
Such is the mantra of Beverly Ott '80, nurtured through her studies at Manchester College, and its "extended" classrooms abroad. She spent a semester in Germany, an internship with the National Association of Social Workers and lobbied in the Indiana General Assembly, all the while building compassion for humanity and a strong foundation in social work.
After graduation came peace studies in Jamaica and Egypt, then language immersion in Strasbourg, France to prepare for her new World Neighbors country director post in Chad, Africa. The nonprofit operates in 18 countries, providing education and training to inspire self-reliance and empowerment of community.
In Chad, she reflected: "As I sit here in the heart of Africa, I see that the foundation Manchester College helped me build was only a commencement, but was a solid one … the doors it has opened for me and the people and the wealth of cultures I have encountered since 1976 are due in a great deal to Manchester."
Ott and husband Olivier Hauville created Echoppe to grant small business loans to help women gain stability and invest in their own business ventures. Today, the project receives funding from Great Britain, France and the United States … and the assistance of Manchester College interns.
Bev and Olivier returned to campus last spring, reflecting on world-changing as they strolled Muir Peace Gardens and re-connected with dear friends. It was good to have them home again.
By Tiffany Berkebile '10
MC gives alumnus "unfair advantage" in business, friendships, connections … in life!
C. Scott Hullinger '92 proudly declares, "Manchester gave me an unfair advantage in the business world."
Connections, values, faculty mentoring, life-time best friends, and a swift start on a Fortune 500 career gained while still an MC student continue to drive his success, says the business administration major and basketball Spartan.
Mazda recruited Hullinger right out of Professor Tim Ogden's class during a campus visit by the automaker. He quickly climbed that corporate ladder, traveling the world as a business development manager for the Midwest region of Mazda North American Operations and learning how to nimbly effect change in a highly competitive market.
He left Mazda in 2002 to fulfill another dream: to work alongside his father, Robert Hullinger as co-owner of Mier Products Inc., today a leading manufacturer of fabricated metal enclosures, surveillance system lockboxes and driveway security systems for residential and business.
Hullinger counts his blessings in other MC connections, including Professor Tim Ogden '87 ("He taught me to think for myself.") emeriti professors Richard Harshbarger '56, David Waas '47, the late Sam Davis (who dramatically taught him to always be prepared), and in staffer Dave Friermood. Hullinger also has served as president of the Alumni Board.
Manchester, declares Hullinger, "It's not just campus, it's the community."

Applying Manchester
David A. Haist '73 applies his values, his conviction and his leadership to bring significant impact upon his communities, his work and his college. He's a hero for all the right reasons, say his peers and the 31-school Independent Colleges of Indiana, which has inducted Haist into The Indiana Academy.
"Through his personal involvement and his financial contributions, he has enhanced the quality of life in Indiana and the citizens of Indiana have benefited through his leadership," wrote Academy member Ian M. Rolland, retired chair and CEO of Lincoln National Corp.
Haist is executive vice president and chief operating officer of Do It Best Corp., a $3 billion international hardware and building materials cooperative. He chairs the Parkview Hospital Board, is former chair of the Manchester College Board of Trustees and the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, and serves on economic development and charity boards.
He has served on the College Board of Trustees for 18 years, including as chair during a $70 million fund drive that exceeded goal by $20 million and transformed campus with new spaces (including Haist Commons) and programs.
Haist says values gained at Manchester "have followed me in work and in all other parts of my life. They have made a difference for me in many ways." Just as Dave Haist makes a difference, with significant impact.

Except on our...

Seriously,folks, this guy is the president. No Quote of the Day for you, George! That goes to your favorite Congressman Barney Frank, courtesy of the NYT:
"This regimen of total deregulation has essentially allowed the economy to be held hostage to some financially irresponsible actions," says Rep. Frank. "There is no choice but to pay some ransom."
How to skin a Bear
The WSJ has a good explanation of how the Fed's bailout of Bear Stearns could actually affect taxpayers. It took on some of Bear's junk assets to enable JP Morgan to buy the essentially bankrupt company. The paper quotes a former Fed official saying the central bank will likely lose money on the move, lowering the payments it submits to the Treasury, which last year totaled some $34 billion.
Bloomberg looks at the lack of regulatory prowess at the SEC in the wake of the Bear Stearns collapse. Here's the lede:
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox was asked on March 11 if he was concerned about the financial condition of Bear Stearns Cos."We have a good deal of comfort about the capital cushions at these firms at the moment," Cox told reporters.
Three days later, the Federal Reserve said it was pumping emergency funds into the 85-year-old securities firm through JPMorgan Chase & Co., the third-biggest U.S. bank by assets
Bear Stearns's forced sale days after the SEC chief's reassurances is raising questions about the vigilance of the top U.S. securities regulator, which is charged with making sure Wall Street firms have enough cash to survive a crisis.
What did Bear Stearns CEO Alan Schwartz know and when did he know it, Coxie?
This is good news?
The papers all note the relief that a stock-market crash didn't happen yesterday.
The Times' omnipresent Vikas Bajaj has a story on page one headlined "Plunge Averted, Markets Look Ahead Uneasily." The WSJ's C1 story leads with "The nightmare scenario didn't happen" while the Los Angeles Times headline reads confusingly, "Bearishly good news: Stocks don't fall as far as expected."
The Dow eked out a 0.2 percent gain (twenty-one points) after dropping nearly 2 percent in early trading. It would have been in the red if not for the big jump in JP Morgan shares on hopes by investors that it got Bear Stearns at a fire-sale price. The S&P 500 dropped 0.9 percent or 11.54 points.
But financial stocks other than JP got drubbed. Options trader MF Global plunged 65 percent, Ohio bank National City fell 43 percent, while Washington Mutual dropped 13 percent. The WSJ says the latter two are high on lists of banks most likely to "face trouble."
The Journal's Heard on the Street column says Wall Street stocks have further to fall, based on conservative estimates of what their book values really are.
The FT says money markets "virtually ground to a halt as the weekend's developments severely knocked confidence and made banks extremely unwilling to lend to each other."
How to meltdown
The WSJ gives its readers a long A1 walkthrough of the "six days that have shaken American capitalism."
The paper reports that Bear Stearns CEO Schwartz was "out of pocket" at a media conference in Florida as the crisis began in earnest last week. What is it with these Bear CEOs?
Treasury Secretary Paulson helped speed up the Bear Stearns deal after being hit by calls at his home Saturday morning from panicked CEOs worried about a contagion.
Watch the drama build at JP Morgan world headquarters that day as the deal is plotted:
By 7:30 p.m., hunger pangs had taken hold. Someone ordered Chinese food. A security guard lay out a buffet spread.
The WSJ notes that JP Morgan can't walk away from the deal even if Bear Stearns business and assets deteriorate further.
Fed wields its scissors, again
In economic news, the papers say markets are expecting the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates today by at least a half a percentage point and as much as 1.25 points. Or as the FT paradoxically puts it, "by as much as a full percentage point or more."
Bloomberg says the move is likely to be the biggest since 1984 when Paul Volcker dropped the rate by 1.75 percentage points (to a low, low 10 percent). A point-drop now would bring the Fed's benchmark interest rate to 2 percent, raising yet more concerns about inflation.
(But some key measures of inflation showed major drops yesterday: Crude oil prices fell more than 4 percent to $105.68 a barrel while a Goldman Sachs index of raw-materials prices had its biggest daily drop in three years.)

I like this brush, although I do not use it on a daily basis. This is good for applying concealer on the face. I prefer a smaller brush for the undereye area, but it does okay under there, too. Mostly I use this to conceal small spots of discoloration. It works well for this purpose.

LOVE this brush. It's absolutely perfect for precise application and blending of concealer. I can use it under my eye area and on small freckles or blemishes with beautiful results. It's softer and larger than most concealer brushes, which I think is great because until now, I always used to apply concealer with a concealer brush then blend with my foundation brush. Really glad I found a great brush that can do both.
I gave it a 4 for packaging because mine came in a set of 4 brushes and the concealer brush bristles got a little crumpled in the packet. All the brushes in the set are extremely soft and high quality for the price!
I will definitely be getting this brush again if I ever need to.

First off, "ecotools" as a name is a joke. The poly bag that houses these brushes (and I have the blush brush as well as the concealer brush) is ridiculously constructed and completely useless. They try to make it into a resealable poly pouch for traveling with the brush, but I travel, and it never occurred to me to bother with these packages again. They are ugly and look like they would split open upon one bag check.
Also, BOTH of my brushes have split. Meaning the brush top and ferrule have literally come unglued from the wood brush handle. Yes,I could get all DIY and buy some superglue, but should I really have to go to the trouble on a simple makeup brush.
They were affordable, and the brush hairs are fine (don't shed much), but the product construction itself is fully inferior.
I would not buy any more of their products.

This brush is really great! I dont have a bad thing to say about it. I actually dont even use it for concealer. I was at ulta and needed a small brush for contouring around the nose and eye area and Im a huge fan of the finishing kabuki by them so for $5 I figured why not give it a try. Its the best brush Ive found for nose/eye contouring and really blending the color out to look natural. Ive had this for so long and I wash my brushes very frequently and I havent had one hair fall out (same goes for their finishing kabuki)

This is my go-to line for brushes. I've had some of them for almost two years and I've never had a single bristle fall out of any of them. The are eco-friendly and affordable as well. When I worked in cosmetics, these are the brushes I would tell everyone to buy.
Great concealer brush. I use it on myself for thick powder to put under my eyes, but I've used liquid with it before on others and it worked great.

My FAVORITE brush.....and I have ALOT of brushes! ;-)
Where to begin, where to begin??? The construction of the brush is superb like all of Eco Tools products. The bristles are crazy soft and the handle fits very comfortably in my hand.
This brush works brilliantly for blending out concealer. It's soft enough not to tug at the delicate under-eye area, yet firm enough to spread the concealer in an even and concise manner.
I have several of these brushes that I also use to apply my cream eyeshadows and bases. It blends perfectly over my eyelid with 1-2 swipes! I also use this to clean up my brows. For some reason, this brush works better than my fingers at shaping and cleaning up my brows.
I've used it to apply pigments....it's a little big for intricate applications, but works like a charm if you're apply a single color on the lid.
I could go on-and-on about this brush! This is my 'workhorse' brush. While I have several of these brushes, I have been using them for quite a few years with no apparent wear and tear. What a great quality brush!

This is the softest brush I've ever felt in my life! I purchased this nearly two months ago for about $6 or $7 at Rite Aid, and NO bristles have fallen out yet. When I put on concealer I like to melt the product down with my fingers and then smooth it out with a brush. This brush makes it look so natural and smooth (:
