4 Things To Know About Fall Home Buying
Leaves are turning colors, there's a chill in the air, and autumn is upon us. It's time for the seasons to change, and if you are a homebuyer, many real estate experts say it is also time to change your home-buying strategies.
The fall real estate market sees less activity than the summer selling season, as sellers remove their homes from listings, and many buyers, particularly first-time homebuyers, stop searching, says Sam DeBord, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Seattle.
There are still many ways for buyers to get a great home at a great price, however. "Don't get distracted by what everyone says about the market slowing down in the fall, because this can also be a very attractive time to buy," he says.
Here's a look at some of the benefits of fall buying, and ways to minimize the drawbacks.
No. 1: Mortgage rates still historically low
This year, the fall home buying market is unique because current mortgage rates, while up off record lows in the spring, are still sitting at historic lows. "Someone shouldn't be discouraged from making a move in the fall because interest rates have increased," says Bruce Ailion, a real estate agent in Marietta, Ga. "Even though rates have gone up from where they were in March and April, they are still at a historic low relative to where they've been for the last 20 to 30 years." There's always a chance that next year, they won't be as low as they are now, he says.No. 2: Less competition, but less choice
One of the major reasons real estate activity slows down in the fall is because buyers with young children often stop looking for new homes once the school year starts, since they don't want to pull their children out of school, says DeBord.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Recanati Yasmin White
- Galilee
- Israel
The beautiful Israeli region of Galilee is one of the most famous sites in the world when it comes to cultural and religious history, and yet the wines of this dry and arid region are yet to really make a big impact on the wine stores of the western world. However, the high quality of the produce being made in the region could change all this, as the past few years have been exceptionally good for vintners in Galilee, with a wide range of imported French grape varietals having flourished in the vineyards around the fertile base of Mount Tabor. Perhaps surprisingly, given the difference in climatic conditions, Bordeaux grapes make up for most of the varietals planted in Galilee, and Sémillon, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can be found growing extremely well all over the region. Helped by the volcanic basalt soils, these grapes produce wonderfully characterful and flavorful wines, enjoyed by kosher observing Jewish communities and others all over the world.
Israel has long been a country associated with wines, with plenty of historical evidence pointing out the significance of wines in biblical times and most likely even before then. Of course, when the country was under Islamic rule, many of the vineyards were destroyed and wine production ceased completely, but today Israel enjoys a thriving wine industry and is frequently recognized as a producer of fine wines which have a growing global audience, helped by the fact that most wines of the country are made with kosher certification. Israel enjoys a Mediterranean climate, and has plenty of mineral rich soil on which to grow vines. There are several micro climates across the country, formed by the geographical features of the land, and wineries have had a long and successful relationship with the imported French grape varietals which flourish there.

The Path solver is an implementation of a stabilized Newton method for the solution of the Mixed Complementarity Problem. The stabilization scheme employs a path-generation procedure which is used to construct a piecewise-linear path from the current point to the Newton point; a step length acceptance criterion and a non-monotone pathsearch are then used to choose the next iterate. The algorithm is shown to be globally convergent under assumptions which generalize those required to obtain similar results in the smooth case. Several implementation issues are discussed, and extensive computational results obtained from problems commonly found in the literature are given.

2007 Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished Scholars: William Andrew Crocker
Service and Leadership: Scholar is a leader by example
For William "Drew" Crocker, being in charge doesn't mean that you have to be a dictator. It doesn't mean you have to keep people under your thumb.
"It is 'Do as I do,' " he said. "My job as a leader is to remind them they have the training and experience to get the job done, to be clear about what we need to do together to obtain that goal."
For the qualities Drew has continuously displayed as a leader and the example he sets at King High School, the senior is a winner in the 2007 Caller-Times/Citgo South Texas Distinguished Scholars in the Service and Leadership category.
Drew, 17, is ranked 31st in his class of 546 and has a 99.8 grade average. Next fall he hopes to attend the U.S. Naval Academy before studying to be a combat engineer or an intelligence officer.
Bill Hughen, senior Naval science instructor and sponsor of the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, describes Drew as a natural who takes his role as cadet commander very seriously.
"He doesn't yell and scream. He understands that being a leader is about more than telling people what to do," Hughen said. "Drew has always led by example."
As a freshman, Drew began helping to organize community service projects including fundraisers for the Navy Junior ROTC, and he helped to bridge relationships with nonprofit organizations such as the Red Cross. King High School cadets now volunteer for various Red Cross projects throughout the year as a result.
In his free time, Drew participates in academic decathlon, is a member of the city of Corpus Christi Youth Advisory Committee and volunteers for organizations such as the Red Cross and the Lighthouse for the Blind.
Drew's goal in his last year in high school is to help lead his unit to the first state competition in several years. He also would like to see King's Navy Junior ROTC meet the physical, academic and community service requirements to achieve the title of distinguished unit.
"I have to do the best I can to get people to follow a positive example," he said.

Amway Arena
Attendance: 19,013
Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Jameer Nelson scored only 12 total points, but his three-pointer late in regulation and clutch foul shooting down the stretch helped the Orlando Magic end Boston's 14-game win streak with an 86-78 victory over the Celtics in a Christmas Day matchup at Amway Center.
Brandon Bass posted 21 points and nine rebounds for the Magic, who have won two straight on the heels of a four-game skid. Hedo Turkoglu added 16 points while Dwight Howard brought down 11 rebounds in the victory. Orlando had been coming off a 123-101 win over the Spurs on Thursday, snapping San Antonio's 10-game winning streak.
"This is two of the biggest wins we've had so far this season, especially against these type of teams," Nelson said. "The composure we showed throughout the course of the game, especially in the second half, was a good sign for us."
Kevin Garnett scored a game-high 22 points and Paul Pierce added 18 for the Celtics, who, prior to this contest, last suffered defeat on November 21 at Toronto. Glen Davis registered 16 points and eight rebounds for Boston, which lost for only the fifth time this season (23-5).
Bass' jumper with 4 1/2 minutes remaining in regulation brought Orlando within 73-69 before Nelson connected from beyond the arc two minutes later to bring the Magic within 77-75. When Boston failed to score on its ensuing possession, Bass made good on a jumper in the paint near the foul line for a 77-77 tie with just under two minutes to play.
The C's then committed a shot clock violation, giving the ball back to Orlando and setting up Nelson for the critical basket of the contest. From the top of the key and from just behind the three-point line, Nelson sent the Orlando faithful into a frenzy when he drilled a long-range jumper to give the Magic an 80-77 lead with 1:19 on the clock.
"We just didn't lock down defensively like a team that knows how, especially down the stretch," Pierce said. "That's usually our bread and butter, down the stretch - we're able to hold teams. It was completely opposite."
Garnett then made 1-of-2 from the foul line, but J.J. Redick's fadeaway jumper from 20 feet gave Orlando an 82-78 edge with 43 seconds left.
A quartet of successful foul shots by Nelson inside the final minute -- following an air-ball missed three-point attempt by Ray Allen and turnover by Nate Robinson -- secured the victory and created the final margin.
Orlando came out of the gate on fire and scored the first 13 points of the game before a Pierce jumper midway through the opening quarter finally got the Celtics on the board.
That basket started a 15-0 run by the visitors, who grabbed a 15-13 lead on Jermaine O'Neal's inside turnaround jumper and Boston led 20-19 after 12 minutes of action.
The Celtics out-scored the hosts by a 26-17 margin in the second stanza and carried a 46-36 lead into the locker room.
"We got out to a great start and then we really struggled offensively," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We just had to hang in the game. We made some plays down the stretch, hit some big shots."
The teams traded baskets for most of the third quarter and the Celtics continued to hold the lead, but the Magic did not let it get away from them. Turkoglu's three-pointer with four minutes to go cut Orlando's deficit to 59-52. Boston led 63-57 heading into the fourth.

The guides at DFWAP Adventures lead treks throughout DFW Adventure Park's 176 acres, where families, church groups, and coworkers rely upon communication and teamwork to conquer challenges ranging from paintball scenarios to scavenger hunts through the wilderness. Colleagues trade in their eight-hour workday for corporate boot camp on the challenge course by tackling conflict resolution and dealing with stress. Emergency Services Services trainees can practice through wilderness search and vertical rescue, as well as tactical medic scenarios. Groups can also plan a multi-venue event combining paintball, a wilderness challenge course, obstacle race, and ziplines for a full day adventure.
From the top of a two-level fort, the sniper surveys the grounds below, where opponents lurk behind mounds and ready their semiautomatic markers from within two school buses. Those props, which adorn The West Lot, are among the many obstacles and barriers littering the 10 courses at Fun On The Run Paintball Park. Guests can duck behind army jeeps at The Fuel Depot, navigate The District's maze-style village, and storm the 15-foot, two-story castle, whose 3,000 square feet accommodates battling participants and court jesters performing medieval USO shows. Meanwhile, teams prepare for forthcoming competitions on three grass-turf tournament fields in the park's 3-acre training facility. Elsewhere in the park, players wield paintball markers equipped with laser light beams during outdoor hide-and-go-seek laser-tag games. On the Airsoft field, participants use teamwork and squad tactics to win matches on an outdoor field with woodsy terrain. Each realistic Airsoft rifle fires small, plastic BBs that are biodegradable and won't injure players.
Fast Action Airsoft sates thrill-based cravings with more than 19 acres of battlefields and urban-assault areas for squads of Airsoft combatants ages 12 and older. Twelve industrial buildings create a unique setting for sharpshooting duels that is roughly the size of a small city for humans or a huge city for stunt doubles from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Lone wolves or cooperating packs can spend the day exploring the warehouses to find strategic advantages or improvised cover when ambushed by rivals. Like bobbing for piranhas, full-seal goggles are required for every contest, and players must provide their own guns and a stock of biodegradable BB ammunition. Find a full description of equipment rules and regulations online.
When players take a tumble or dive at Gatsplat, they?re cushioned by the same stuff that protects NFL players from harm. Both of Gatsplat?s indoor paintball fields are padded by NFL-quality Astroturf, but these are not the only safety measures the staff puts in place. Professional referees keep watch over games, as opposed to off-duty clowns looking to score some free face paint. Players are also divided by experience level, and standard 68-caliber markers can be swapped out for lighter-weight 50-caliber markers so kids as young as six can play.
The 26,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility also has a comfortable viewing area with wide windows for non-players to keep an eye on the action. Free wireless internet access and a wide-screen television keep them occupied, and between games, players and non-players can discuss strategy or compare paint splatters as they snack at picnic tables.
Since its opening in 1988, Ellen's Amusement Center has provided visitors with a full range of family fun, including mini golf, go-karts, and paintball. The 18-hole miniature golf course is littered with such whimsical obstructions as a diminutive oil rig, a mini rollercoaster, and the obligatory windmill. Racers negotiate hairpin curves on the tire-lined go-kart track. A crossfire of chromatic projectiles enlivens four paintball fields, where players dive behind bunkers on the speedball courses or camouflage themselves as commando squirrels on the woods field. The facility also boasts batting cages equipped for hardball and softball as well as a redemption arcade filled with two stories' worth of video games.
One might assume that 40 acres of meadowland in Parker, Texas, carries a certain tranquility and peacefulness. That is, unless, that chunk of land has been transformed into a gigantic battleground for paintball wars. Fort Paintball has done just that, divvying up its real estate into nine fields, highlighted by 5- and 10-man Lego fields and a Big Game field. On the expansive fields, competitors duck behind oil barrels and massive spools, dodging shots and acorns launched by squirrels who want to get in on the action. Players can either strap on their own gear or utilize rental packages that include guns, rounds, and masks.

Warner Bros has delayed Batman: Arkham Knight from later this year to 2015.
The delay was revealed in a new trailer teasing a Batmobile Battle Mobile, which is scheduled to be demonstrated further at E3 2014.
The video highlights the extensive firepower the new Batmobile features. According to GamesRadar the Dark Knight's ride will feature two modes: Pursuit Mode and Battle Mode.
Players will be able to switch between the standard Pursuit Mode, which has booster rockets and a power winch capable of raise bridges and elevators, and a Battle Mode which is a heavy, tank-like version kitted up with firepower and even the ability to strafe, at the press of a button.
Warner Bros has also released new screenshots for the game, showing of both Batman and the new antagonist, the Arkham Knight.
Billed as the "explosive finale" to the Rocksteady trilogy, the game will now be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC next year, according to a new trailer which also teases a Batmobile Battle mode E3 reveal:
The title takes place one year after the events of Arkham City, with Batman at the very peak of his powers, when a gallery of villains descend upon Gotham and team up to bring the Dark Knight down once and for all.
The game's main villain has been revealed as the Arkham Knight, a character unique to the game's universe that was created by Geoff Johns, writer of Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Justice League.
The Arkham Knight character has been pitched as a rougher, more extreme, militarised version of Batman who will "really challenge Batman to go head to head with him in lots of different ways".
Rocksteady's Sefton Hill previously said the studio is aiming to take the fantasy of being Batman "one step further" in the sequel.
"The Arkham games have always been about providing that power fantasy, about being and feeling like Batman," he said. "We're going to take it further with the addition of the Batmobile and the bigger city."
"We've known it's what people want. When you're Batman you do think Batmobile, It's the one key thing we felt we really always wanted to do. And also that refreshes the whole experience, which I really think it does," Hill continued. "What we're always trying to do is [make] every game feel like a new game rather than another episode of the last one."

I'll preface this by saying that I haven't gone on a proper vacation in roughly 4 years. Sure, I spent some time living abroad in Malmö and Montréal, but they were places of residence, not vacation stops (although I wouldn't mind visiting Montréal in the fall again). If you've ever done both, then you know what I mean. unpacking for a few weeks is quite different than unpacking indefinitely. You see a city with different lenses. Suffice to say, I'd been looking forward to this for some time.
The main reason my girlfriend and I booked this trip was to a) experience Iceland in the winter, and b) check out the eclectic Sonar Reykjavik festival. Both reasons have enough merit on their own to book the trip, so getting both is tops. We decided to do the festival first and the touristy stuff second, which worked out splendidly.
Sonar was mainly a cluster of Icelandic pop and electronic favorites, with some quality live acts sprinkled over (oh, and that Diplo guy I guess). Everything from Booka Shade-esque live duo Kiasmos, to the Icelandic jack of all trades Högni Egilsson (associated with; GusGus, HE, Gluteus Maximus, and Hjaltalin) were showcased in a humble and honest fashion, putting the music at the forefront and kicking glitz to the rear. I'm writing a festival review for HMWL.org in the next day or so, so if you're curious about the music then check that out.
Below are photos from all over. Some of the places include the national park Þingvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss, Thingvellir national park rift valley, and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur. Also included are some shots from downtown Reykjavik, me eating a hot dog, and some shots within Harpa (venue where Sonar took place).

Dentists Elizabeth Sandoval and Irma Torres work with their staff of trained tooth techs to shine up clients' chompers. The 45-minute appointment kicks off as a dental guru pokes, prods, and administers a polygraph test to each tooth to search out signs of hidden disease or decay. Patients then relax as a thorough prophy jet cleaning washes away plaque and tartar buildup, leaving mouth pearls smooth and shiny. Digital x-rays further inspects cuspids for cavities and contraband lollipops.
At Bronx Community Dental Care, Dr. Oleg wields an array of dental technology such as thin porcelain lumineers and safe BriteSmile whitening gel that activates under low-intensity light. The doctor maintains a dual emphasis on treatment and prevention through a menu of general and cosmetic dentistry and surgical procedures.
To detect tooth and gum issues, Dr. Oleg's team uses an intraoral camera, which facilitates views of mouth recesses that mirrors or open-mouth screams cannot, and digital x-rays, which reveal invisible structures for examination on a computer. They also repel impending decay with pediatric sealants, and skillfully maneuver mouths to extract wisdom teeth, graft bones, or perform surgery on gums. Upon spotting flaws in individual teeth, the team also springs to action with the CEREC machine, which rapidly sculpts or restores compressed porcelain crowns and inlays during one visit.
Dr. Elliot Sabbagh, DDS, wanted to be a dentist as soon as he graduated from high school, so he took the fastest route to get there: New York University's accelerated dental program. He has put that extensive training to good use for the past 18 years at iSmile Dental Centers, a group practice he started and has expanded to include eight practices across New York City's five boroughs. He and his fellow dentists provide a comprehensive slate of dental services—exams, crowns, fillings, digital x-rays, wisdom-tooth extraction, veneers, and power whitening—that cover patients' preventive, surgical, and cosmetic needs.
The simple decor and soft lighting of M&N Dental's waiting room reflect the experience patients will experience while reclining on its examination chairs. The dentist provides both a calming demeanor and a comprehensive range of general dentistry services including teeth cleaning, whitening, and fillings.
Dr. John N. Kallis, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for 25 years, and Dr. Patricia R. Marrone, a highly educated dentist fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, lead an experienced staff in crafting beautiful, healthy smiles with expert oral-surgery and periodontal procedures. In an initial consultation, dentists greet clients, explain diagnoses, and lay out treatment options, which may include dental implants or intense psychotherapy for sensitive teeth. Prior to appointments, clients relax on soft seats in the waiting room and flip through magazines, watch the flat-screen television, or stare at leafy plants in an attempt to judge their rate of growth. Treatment sessions seat patients in padded, adjustable chairs as dentists make use of high-tech equipment to banish wisdom teeth, craft implants, graft gums, or eradicate joint disorders.

I am baffled about this...I have a bunch of tulips planted around my yard. This is the first year I've planted tulips because in the past, we have had many deer and elk. But last year we put in 7' deer fencing all around our property and I decided to plant tulips. We have not been bothered this year by the deer or elk and all my plants, shrubs and trees are leafing out beautifully. My yellow tulips are blooming, but the red ones have closed buds and are getting ready to open. This morning when I went out to look at them, the unopened red buds where off and laying on the ground right by the plants. It looked like the stem was just cut right below the bud. All of the yellow tulips are still in full bloom. I didn't see any hoof prints and the strange thing is that the buds were not eaten, just laying next to the plant. Could it be a chipmunk or a groundhog? I don't have any mounds from an underground tunnel digger, but I think I've seen a small critter like a chipmunk. Some of my young azaleas got eaten as well.
Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Perhaps squirrels? I know they dug up *all* the bulbs I planted for my son. They didn't leave any to show aboveground. |
Many years ago I had a dog who nipped them off...I saw her do it....that was an Airdale before we switched to more sensible Australian Cattle Dogs/heelers. I've also suspected crows were responsible for nipping off and dropping my daffodil flowers. jwww |
rabbits and field mice. Once a couple of field mice managed to do very extensive damage in my garden in as little as 1 hour. Rabbits managed to cut off some young branches off my service berries. |

These are the things that may be causing it. There is a dog that comes onto our property sometimes. I definitely have rabbits and chipmunks and lots of birds around. Do the rabbits eat tulips or would they just leave them next to the plant? I have never seen a squirrel on my property. It must be one of those things. Now, the question is, how do I stop it???? What about spraying the plants with some of that deer and rabbit deterrent that is made from natural ingredients like blood meal, garlic, cayenne pepper, etc.? Do those things work? |

Eight ways to celebrate Día de los Muertos around Denver
El Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a holiday that honors the dead through altars, offerings, sculptures and dances. For the Aztec, who had been celebrating this tradition for more than 3,000 years before encountering travelers from Spain, death was not the end but the continuation of life. Day of the Dead is still celebrated today, and although it's officially November 2, the related events start several days earlier in Denver.Scott Dressel-Martin
Here are eight ways to celebrate Día de los Muertos around town.

Carmel, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/18/2012 -- The figures relating to college student entry and graduation are not exactly promising. With very few private and public college students graduating over the course of four and six years, the rise in education costs has become inevitable. In fact, the student loan debt has risen to over $1 trillion in total, but more than 50% of all recent college graduates are either underemployed or unemployed and staying at home.
The alarming college facts hounding students and their families call for no less than organized planning. College education is a stepping stone to achieving career goals, and therefore require well-thought out, efficient preparation.
Successful Education Solutions was established to help students and parents navigate the complex college planning process, such that they could maintain their quality of life and income during the tuition years. Operating under the headship of Founder and President, Jeffrey Sonnergren, SES works hands-on with families who want the most value from their education dollar.
"We work closely with each of our clients to develop the best 'fit' between the student and their colleges of choice to achieve the goals of their education plan, and realize the best return on their education investment," Mr. Sonnergren says.
Detailed at SuccessfulEducationSolutions.com, the services of SES range from as simple as providing students with the right tools for college essay help and instructing them about taking the right SAT prep course and ACT prep course for successful college entry.
At SES, clients go through the two-step process. The first step requires students to take an online aptitude session, which is designed to confirm or focus a student's career goals and select a major area of study to pursue.
Following the Aptitude Test, students and family members engage with an experienced, trained and highly professional career counselor at SES in a 90-minute call. The phone conversation is meant to match each student with the right colleges based on a set of aptitude factors, SAT/ACT scores, high school GPA, family financial situation, the student's educational interests, and their general "outlook" on life. At least one of the student's parents must be in attendance to listen in, and is encouraged to ask questions.
To know more about the assistance programs offered by Successful Education Solutions, please visit http://www.SuccessfulEducationSolutions.com for information.
About Successful Education Solutions
Successful Education Solutions is in the business of assisting students and families seeking entry into college. The team of experts coach clients through the entire college process, particularly in selecting the correct college, performing career searches, helping with preparation for SAT/ACT, and maximizing their financial aid potential.

I loved this class. My grandson love his new toy.. now all my friends want one for their grand children .....
It looks terrific. I love the yarn, it looks so plush, you can't really see the stitches. And I also love that you got the trunk pointed up. I was thinking of doing the same as you did on my next one, using a multi-colored yarn for the body except for the head, arms, and maybe feet. So cute!
This is so adorable! I'm just starting this project and am brand new to knitting, so I have no idea how things will go, but if the first one works this will be my inspiration for #2!
this is one of those baby yarns... it was easy to knit and hid mistakes. the only thing was picking up stitches was a bit tricky. .just take your time. it stuffs nicely. and my grandson loves it..
I love what you did your toy turned out wonderful. I like how you did the trunk pointing up, i was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling me how you did that i wanted to give it to a friend who is expecting and she is really into superstition and i know if an elephant has its trunk up it means good luck. If its not too much trouble i would love to know. Anyway good job.

COLUMBIA CITY — Beds And Britches, Etc. (B.A.B.E.) of Whitley County is having an unusual fundraising campaign that has baby bottles being filled with money.
"April is our biggest fundraising month all year," said Shawn Ellis, executive director of B.A.B.E. "We have 17 churches and many banks all over Whitley County collecting money in our baby bottles for our program."
Several of tonight's events have been cancelled tonight due to weather.
Whitko's home baseball and softball games, Columbia City's game at Wawasee and Col. City's track meet have all been confirmed to be cancelled.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's softball team opened its season in prime fashion Monday night, hosting Marion in a perfect 10-0 win.
The game was cut short after the Lady Eagles took a 10-0 lead in the fifth inning after a run by junior Alyssa Brandt.
Senior Hannah Schnorr boosted the score in the third inning with a grand slam to take an 8-0 lead.
Columbia City not only put out a strong offensive performance by senior Allie Vodde, who not only pitched a shut-out, but along with her teammates didn't allow a single Marion runner on base.
Vodde had 10 strikeouts on 16 at bats.
Aleasia Johnson, 3, is happy to find a camouflage egg that wins a prize at the first annual mEGGa Hunt at Churubusco Park Saturday. —— CHURUBUSCO — Prizes, family fun and community love just about sums up what was happening Saturday afternoon at Churubusco Town Park. More than 600 people attended the first annual mEGGa Hunt sponsored by Christ Community Church. "We hid 8,000 eggs today and with this big of a turn-out we'll have to have twice as many next year," said Nathan VanHorn, member of CCC.
CHURUBUSCO — Safe routes to school is a high priority to the Churubusco Town Council. Madalyn Sade-Bartl, Churubusco's clerk/treasurer, and Jeremy Hart, town supervisor, began looking into a grant from the State of Indiana worth $250,000. That money would be used for infrastructure projects and $75,000 is available for non-infrastructure projects to construct safe routes to school for elementary and middle school-aged children. "Funding is disbursed on a reimbursed basis," said Sade-Bartl.
Editor's Note: The following is the final segment of a three-part series on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and the impact the event is having today on a local family. —— COLUMBIA CITY — A century after Antoine Temmerman purchased a ticket for the ill-fated maiden voyage of the HMS Titanic, his granddaughter Gail Morris was sent an invitation. The correspondence came a few weeks ago, inviting Morris to participate in the memorial activities on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic called "100 Years of Exhibition."
Editor's Note: The following is the second of a three-part series on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and the impact the event is having today on a local family. —— COLUMBIA CITY — After Antoine Temmerman and Jean Scheerlink were reunited in Detroit, Scheerlink and the two other men who hid with him on the lifeboat, went to work laying brick sidewalks in Detroit. Temmerman took a job with the Ford Motor Company, and was eventually transferred to Defiance, Ohio. Scheerlink also began telling stories of his voyage on the Titanic.
After a trip to semi-state last year, the Lady Eagle softball team is eager to kick off this season, hosting Marion tonight at Morsches Park at 5 p.m. Above, Columbia City celebrates after winning the regionals last year

Police who shot the bear Saturday night near East Side houses said the safety hazard it posed left them no choice.
Brett Ramer, who lives on the block where the bear was shot from a tree, said, "It's too bad. I'm sure the bear's only crime was loss of habitat and hunger."
Those who live in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood on St. Paul's East Side aren't strangers to wildlife. There's plenty of semi-wild area along the Mississippi River to the south, and foxes, deer and bald eagles are regularly seen in the area. But Saturday night, residents were caught off guard when a black bear was killed just a few feet from their front doors.
St. Paul police were called about 7:30 p.m. Saturday by a couple who had been walking their dog in the 100 block of Maria Avenue when they spotted an adult-sized bear near some houses, said police spokesman Howie Padilla.
As officers arrived, the bear climbed a tree near the back of a house at the intersection of Maria Avenue and Cherry Street. Officers shot the bear several times while it was in the tree and then again after it fell to make sure it was dead, Padilla said.
They had to, he said. Because the bear was so close to people, pets and busy roads, it posed a safety hazard, he said.
"Whenever we have a situation where a wild animal is in an urban area ... we take all those factors into consideration," Padilla said.
Animal control officers took the bear's body away, Padilla said.
No other bears have been sighted recently in the area, and it is not known how the animal came to be in the neighborhood, he said.
The house next to where the bear was shot is home to the Northwestern Alano club, used as a meeting place for several 12-step programs.
Jerome Smith, 54, who rents the upper floor, said he heard about five gunshots Saturday night and went outside and saw police cars.
"I was like, 'What's going on? ... Somebody on the loose?'" Smith said.
Then he spotted the bear's body lying against the tree trunk.
"It's sad, but it had to be done," Smith said of the shooting. "Bears don't usually walk around in your neighborhood."
Brett Ramer, 49, who lives on the block, said he wished the police had more options. "It's too bad," he said. "I'm sure the bear's only crime was loss of habitat and hunger."
Animal sightings aren't unusual in the neighborhood. Lisa Record, 47, who lives across the street from the house where the bear was shot, said, "We get a ton of wildlife. ... We go camping, but I see more here."
Bear sightings in the metro area, while relatively infrequent, are not unheard of, especially in the spring, when natural foods are less plentiful than they are in late summer and fall. In one week this May, more than 10 sightings were reported in the east metro; one was even seen in Apple Valley last spring.
Still, it's unusual for a bear to be found wandering this late in the winter, said Chris Niskanen, director of communications for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "In all likelihood, this bear should have been hibernating right now," he said.
While the death of an animal is unfortunate, bears can pose a threat in urban areas, Niskanen said. "Bears do not belong in the urban core of the Twin Cities," he said.
Tranquilizing an animal is difficult and requires the proper equipment and circumstances, he said.
"The public has this image of tranquilizing animals as something that's easy to do, but it's not," he said.

Wikipedia has a page about Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (Welsh pronunciation: [ˌpɔntkəˈsəɬtɛ], full name in Welsh: Traphont Ddŵr Pontcysyllte) is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal over the valley of the River Dee in Wrexham County Borough in north east Wales. Completed in 1805, it is the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain, a Grade I Listed Building and a World Heritage Site.
When the bridge was built it linked the villages of Froncysyllte, at the southern end of the bridge in the Cysyllte township of Llangollen parish (from where it takes its name), and Trevor (Trefor in Welsh), at the northern end of the bridge in the Trefor Isaf township of Llangollen parish. Both townships were later transferred to Wrexham County Borough following local government reorganisation.
The name is in the Welsh language and means "Cysyllte Bridge". For most of its existence it was known as Pont y Cysyllte ("Bridge of Cysyllte"). Other translations such as "Bridge of the Junction" or "The Bridge that links" are modern, and incorrect, inventions, from the literal English translation of cysyllte being "junctions" or "links", as the township of Cysyllte existed for centuries before the bridge was built.

I realize it is often frustrating to not be able to ID a plant but in this case your plant is still too juvenile to make out the detailed features that are used for that purpose. It looks very much like a variety of forms of Colocasia esculenta but there are over 100 known forms so to offer an opinion would be little more than a guess. I am posting the scientific description of the species so you can file it and as the plant matures begin to check the features against the plant. The chances are high you will have to wait for the plant to grow fairly large to be certain. You may want to invest in a descent botanical dictionary to be able to understand some of the terms used in botanist Pete Boyce description. Again, I am sorry not to be able to give you more assistance but attempting to ID most juvenile plants often results in a bad ID. Steve Colocasia gigantea (Blume) J. D. Hooker, Fl. Brit. India 6: Herbs, large to gigantic, evergreen, with massive, stout Valley forests, limestone-associated, usually on moist but welldrained sites, also cultivated; 100©C700 m.

Documento - Kenya's candidacy for election to the UN Human Rights Council: Open letter
Ref: TG AFR 32/2012.013
Index: AFR 32/003/2012
Hon. Samson Kegeo Ongeri, M.P. Minister for Foreign Affairs Old Treasury Building, Harambee Avenue P.O. Box 30551, Nairobi Kenya |
2 November 2012 |
Dear Minister,
We write on the occasion of your country's candidacy for membership of the UN Human Rights Council in the elections scheduled for 12 November 2012. Amnesty International has received a copy of and welcomes your election pledges to promote and protect human rights at the national and international levels. We encourage you to ensure that these pledges are promptly made available on the UN Human Rights Council elections web site.
We recall that, according to General Assembly resolution 60/251, members of the Council shall uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights and fully cooperate with the Council.� On the occasion of Kenya's candidacy, we take the opportunity to comment on your election pledges and to note additional opportunities for your government to promote and protect human rights. In doing so, we refer to the guidance of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on presenting voluntary human rights pledges and commitments, including that such pledges and commitments should be specific, measurable and verifiable.�
Commitments at the international level
Ratification of international human rights instruments
We take this opportunity to encourage you to ratify the international human rights instruments that are still outstanding, in particular the First and Second Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.
Cooperation with the Special Procedures
All Members of the Council are requested to fully cooperate with the Special Procedures. In this regard, we note with concern Kenya's rejection of the 2009 report of the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, as well as the lack of cooperation with the Special Rapporteur during his follow-up visit in 2011. We also note that six Special Rapporteurs are currently requesting permission to visit, and we urge your government to facilitate these visits without further delay. In particular, we urge you to extend invitations, as a matter of priority, to the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders; the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers; and the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. We further encourage you to extend a standing invitation to all Special Procedures and to ensure full cooperation with them.
Cooperation with the treaty monitoring bodies
We note your commitment to honour your reporting obligations to the Treaty Bodies. In this regard, we urge you to promptly submit the periodic reports that are due to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, including with respect to the Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict, and to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.�
We also urge your government to fully implement all recommendations made by the Treaty Bodies in the context of their reviews of past state reports, including the 2012 recommendations of the Human Rights Committee. We call on your government to submit to the Committee, by July 2013, information regarding Kenya's implementation of the recommendations that the Committee identified as priorities for the purpose of its follow-up procedure. In particular, we urge your government to promptly provide information on the implementation of the recommendation to investigate and prosecute all cases of post-2007 election violence and to ensure adequate compensation for victims.�
Engagement with the Universal Periodic Review
We welcome your support, during your first Universal Periodic Review in May 2010, of recommendations to protect human rights defenders;� to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), including by ensuring that human rights defenders are able to speak freely with ICC investigators;� to implement police reform;� and to provide for effective witness protection.� We urge you to ensure the prompt and full implementation of these recommendations and to provide regular updates on such efforts to the Council.
Participation in the deliberations of the Human Rights Council
We note your pledge that, if elected, you will work to effectively carry out your mandate in the Human Rights Council.
In this regard, we urge your government to work with delegations from all regions to ensure that the Council addresses situations of human rights violations, including gross and systematic violations and human rights emergencies, without selectivity or double-standards. We also urge your government to support efforts to ensure that all credible allegations of reprisals or intimidation against persons and groups who have engaged or have sought to engage with the UN human rights machinery are brought to the urgent attention of the Council; that the Council demands the government concerned to ensure that any alleged reprisals are investigated in a prompt, impartial, transparent and effective manner and that perpetrators are held to account; and that the Council requests the government concerned to inform it of measures taken in this regard.
Commitments at the national level
We note your commitments to strengthen your institutions of governance to further entrench respect for the rule of law; to implement the Kenya Vision 2030 for economic, social and political development; and to realize an efficient, effective and coherent judicial system, including through reforms to enhance equitable and timely access to justice for all.
We also note your commitment to ensure the safety and protection of refugees in camps and elsewhere within Kenya. In this spirit, we urge you to cease all threats to arbitrarily close the Dadaab camps and forcibly return its residents to Somalia; to ensure prompt and effective investigation, prosecution and reparations for abuses by the security forces against asylum-seekers and refugees; and to ensure that all provisions of the proposed Refugee Bill 2012 are compliant with international human rights and refugee law.
We call on you to commit to combating the persisting impunity for unlawful killings, including by investigating allegations of human rights violations and crimes under international law, fairly prosecuting all perpetrators, and establishing an independent and transparent national reparations programme for victims, including victims of post-election violence.
Similarly, we urge you to pledge to immediately cease all forced evictions, to legislate and enforce a clear prohibition on forced evictions, and to pass a law on evictions that incorporates all the safeguards required under international human rights law.
We welcome the pledges and commitments already made by Kenya, and we urge your government to use this opportunity to further strengthen its election pledges by committing to progress with regards to the concerns and recommendations outlined above. We also encourage your government to announce the steps it will take to fulfil its electoral pledges and to regularly inform the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council of progress in implementing these commitments. This could be done, for example, in the form of an oral or written statement to these bodies.
We would be pleased to receive your comments and responses to the issues raised in this letter.
A copy of this letter has been sent to your country's permanent missions in Geneva and New York.
Yours sincerely,
Audrey Gaughran

Young Millennials _ Fiscal Conservatives?
Brady Meixell, a freshman at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, agrees.
"People in my age group who would typically be Republicans, and are very fiscally conservative, are disenchanted with the social conservatism of the GOP and don't exactly know where to turn," says Meixell, who's 18 and plans to vote for Obama.
He says Obama has won many students over with college loan reforms and with his health care plan, which allows young people to stay on their parents' insurance into early adulthood.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Alex Avdakov describes himself as conservative on social issues such as abortion and welfare. But his vote will be driven by what amounts to fiscal conservatism: a concern about government spending.
He plans to vote for Obama because he strongly opposes Romney's plan for military spending, "especially when his entire campaign is centered around reducing the deficit," says Avdakov, a senior at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. These mixed emotions help explain why this election is generating much less excitement on college campuses than there was in 2008. "They're not fully committed to Obama. But they're not fully committed to Romney either," says Della Volpe, the pollster from Harvard. Or perhaps they're not fully committed to the political process as a whole, but are turned off, as many young people note, by partisan bickering and gridlock. A recent TRU poll found that more young people answered "don't know" or "don't care" when asked if they were liberal, moderate or conservative. Six months after the 2008 election, 13 percent of teens and twentysomethings gave that answer. In a recent poll, that "don't know/don't' care" number rose to 27 percent for the entire age group â¿¿ and to 36 percent for teens. That could be bad news for those hoping to build on the last election's banner youth vote numbers. But Maue, at TRU, doesn't necessarily think it means they're disengaged.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

(Updates rand exchange rate in final paragraph.)
Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- South Africa's economic growth forecasts are "far too ambitious" as financial market turmoil derails the global recovery, undermining the government's goal of slashing unemployment, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said.
The rout on world markets has "cast a shadow" on South Africa's economic outlook, Gordhan said in a speech in Johannesburg yesterday.
"Our growth projections at the time of the budget and before the current market turmoil were for the economy to grow 4 percent a year for the next three years," Gordhan said. "Clearly that is far too ambitious in the current context unless we do something spectacular for ourselves."
Gordhan's comments indicate he may trim projections that the economy will expand 3.4 percent this year and 4.1 percent in 2012 when he presents his mid-term budget on Oct. 25. The central bank on Sept. 22 cut its forecast for economic growth this year to 3.2 percent from 3.7 percent, while lowering next year's estimate to 3.6 percent from 3.9 percent.
The European debt crisis threatens to cause another recession, weakening the recovery in Africa's biggest economy. Europe buys about a third of the nation's manufactured goods.
"The weakening growth performance in developed markets and escalation in market volatility has cast a shadow over our own domestic outlook," Gordhan said. "Business and consumer confidence readings have declined, highlighting growing pessimism regarding the health of our economy."
Growth Slowing
South Africa's economy expanded at an annualized rate of 1.3 percent in the second quarter, the slowest pace in about two years, as manufacturing and mining output plunged. The Reserve Bank kept its benchmark interest rate at a 30-year low of 5.5 percent last month, adding that it would "act appropriately" if it needs to protect the economy from the global crisis.
The government's plan to boost growth to 7 percent a year in order to create 5 million jobs by 2020 "may not be possible" for now, Gordhan said. The global recovery may take longer than previously thought, he said.
South Africa's jobless rate of 25.7 percent is the highest of 61 countries tracked by Bloomberg.
The rand depreciated for a fourth day, weakening as much as 0.9 percent to 8.3003 per dollar and trading 0.1 percent down at 8.2349 by 8:33 a.m. in Johannesburg. The currency has lost 19 percent this year, making it the worst performer among more than 20 emerging-market currencies against the dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, MI
Kobe Bryant will go down as one of the NBA's all-time leading scorers. The Los Angeles Lakers, though, need their superstar to keep sharing the ball.
With Dwight Howard's status in question, as well as Pau Gasol's spot in coach Mike D'Antoni's rotation, Bryant and the Lakers will try to build off their first road win in six weeks Sunday when they visit the Detroit Pistons.
If he keeps up his current pace of 27.9 points per game, Bryant would need 23 more games to move past Wilt Chamberlain for fourth in league history with 31,420 points. However, it might take Bryant a little longer to achieve that feat as he's scoring just 16.6 per game during the Lakers' 4-1 run. With his new pass-first approach during that stretch, Bryant is taking 12.8 field-goal attempts per game -- 8.3 fewer than his season average -- while averaging 11.2 assists.
"You're just trying to do whatever it takes to win," said Bryant, who had 17 points, a season-best 12 rebounds and eight assists in a 111-100 victory at Minnesota on Friday.
"Trying to figure things out, even if you're adjusting your game as dramatically as I have, it's just doing whatever it takes to get your team to win."
The Lakers (21-26) improved to 15-4 when Bryant takes fewer than 20 shots and ended an eight-game road losing streak which dated back to Dec. 22. They're now 1/3 without Howard in the lineup after the All-Star center missed Friday's game to receive platelet-rich plasma treatments in his right shoulder.
Howard returned to Los Angeles for that procedure, but he's expected to rejoin the team in Auburn Hills -- the third stop on the Lakers' season-high seven-game trip.
If Howard can go, it's uncertain what D'Antoni will do with Gasol, who has not been pleased with being relegated to the bench for the first time in his career. In Howard's place, and starting for the first time in seven games, Gasol finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds Friday.
"It's been a rough season so far, no way around it," Gasol said after his third 20-point game of the season. "Just stay with it, keep playing. You never know when things can change direction."
While a productive Gasol could help the Lakers move up from No. 10 in the Western Conference, the Pistons (18-29) are hoping Gasol's fellow Spaniard will help them improve from 10th in the East.
Jose Calderon, acquired from Toronto on Wednesday in a three-team deal that sent long-time Piston Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye to Memphis, could make his Detroit debut after missing Friday's 117-99 victory over Cleveland due to visa issues.
Coach Lawrence Frank said Calderon, averaging 11.1 points and 7.4 assists, will start at point guard when he's available, pushing Brandon Knight to shooting guard.
"Great player -- done a lot of good things over his career, and definitely a big help for us coming in," said Knight, who had 20 points and 10 assists Friday. "We'll get used to playing with one another and see how it works out."
It hasn't worked out well lately for the Pistons in this series. They've lost six of seven after falling 108-79 at Los Angeles on Nov. 4, when the Lakers posted their first victory of the season following an 0-8 preseason and 0-3 start.
Detroit, though, won 88-85 in the Lakers' last visit to Auburn Hills on March 6 even after Bryant's 19-foot fadeaway at the buzzer forced overtime.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa–Paul Ryan hit the president at a short rally here, accusing him of becoming the "very kind of candidate he was then criticizing" four years ago.
"You see, the man we heard four years ago offering hope and change is the very kind of candidate he was then criticizing," Ryan said on the deck of a restaurant, Bev's on the River here. "He has become what he criticized. He's not offering hope and change, he's offering attack and blame and frustration."
The Republican vice presidential candidate spoke to over 700 people on an unseasonably warm northwestern Iowa day, greeting patrons inside the restaurant before coming outside and praising the crowd for coming together during the floods last year.
He said the community "showed the rest of us in America, this is what Americans do when they come together to help one another." He noted that Iowans have a "big responsibility" on Nov. 6.
Iowa is one of a handful of swing states that could be crucial in determining which candidate wins the electoral college vote. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll last week gave Obama a 51-43 lead in Iowa.
"This is the heart and soul of America, and you know what?" Ryan asked the crowd. "Right here in the Midwest, right here in Iowa, you have a big responsibility, you have a big obligation, you have a big opportunity because Iowans could be the ones who decide the direction of this country."
The Wisconsin congressman did not mention the shooting in Brookfield, Wisc., today that left three women dead, but he issued a statement shortly after the shooting, writing that he and his wife Janna "were shocked and saddened by the news from Brookfield today."
The shooting occurred about 25 miles from where seven people were killed at a Sikh Temple by a white supremacist in August.
"As our community continues to heal from August's tragic violence, our thoughts and prayers are with today's victims and their loved ones," Ryan said in a statement.
The Sikh Temple shooting took place in his congressional district. Today's shooting occurred in a neighboring district.
Ryan will be heading back to his home state around Halloween for a campaign tour that will also allow him to accompany his three young children trick or treating. Polls in Wisconsin still show the president leading, but Ryan's selection has put the state in contention. No Republican has won Wisconsin in a presidential election since 1984.
