Intel Core i7 3930K (LGA 2011) CPU Review - CINEBENCH, Adobe Lightroom and MediaEspresso
Don't want to spend Extreme Edition money, but want to get in on Sandy Bridge-E? Maybe the i7 3930K is your weapon of choice.CINEBENCH R11.5
Version and / or Patch Used: R11.5
Developer Homepage: http://www.maxon.net/
Product Homepage: http://www.maxon.net/downloads/cinebench/cinebench-115.html
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON's award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.
CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It's completely free.
You can see while the 3930K sits a little behind the 3960X, its performance is superior to the 2600K and other processors we have here. Overclocking our 3930K, though, and lining those clock speeds up with the 3960X EE, we can see that performance is extremely close between the two CPUs here.
Adobe Lightroom
Version and / or Patch Used: v3.4
Developer Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 software helps you bring out the best in your photographs, whether you're perfecting one image, searching for ten, processing hundreds, or organizing thousands.
Create incredible images that move your audience. Experiment fearlessly with state-of-the-art nondestructive editing tools. Easily manage all your images. And showcase your work in elegant print layouts, slide shows, and web galleries, as well as on popular photo-sharing sites. All from within one fast, intuitive application.
Adobe Lightroom performance is also very strong with it only falling behind the more expensive 3960X.
Version and / or Patch Used: v6.5
Developer Homepage: http://www.cyberlink.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.cyberlink.com/products/mediaespresso/overview_en_AU.html?fileName=overview&r=1
MediaEspresso is a blazingly fast media universal converter that can transcode your videos, photos and music files and out put them to a huge range of portable devices including mobile phones, portable media players and even game consoles. With technologies like Smart Detect, Direct Sync and CyberLink's TrueTheater video enhancements, you can not only forget about complicated format, resolution and output settings, but your converted file will come out the other side looking better than when it went in!
As for MediaEspresso video converting, we continue to see the new Sandy Bridge-E platform dominate in this test. We can see the 3960X does manage to shave a bit more time off our encode when compared to the 3930K, but you can see against the other processors here the performance continues to be extremely strong.

Bill offers more protection when reporting property compliance issues
- James Jeffrey
- Contributing Writer- Austin Business Journal
Protection for new property owners who voluntarily report environmental, health or safety compliance issues discovered during the sale of facilities has been expanded under a Texas bill signed into law.
Senate Bill 1300, authored by State Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, amends the state's Environmental, Health and Safety Audit Privilege Act to include criteria that can extend immunity from civil and administrative penalties to new owners who report compliance issues and diligently work with the appropriate regulatory agency to address those issues.
The bill also proposes a thorough review and correction of environmental issues during and after any transaction, as well as the use of the state's audit program to manage the process.
"It is not uncommon for a purchaser's due diligence to uncover some type of violation that will need to be corrected after closing," said Jim Morriss, a partner in the Austin office of Thompson and Knight LLP. "By broadening eligibility for these protections, there is less risk that regulatory fines will be assessed while a new owner works to correct these issues."
Problems discovered during the purchase of oil and gas properties, for example, can be costly and time-consuming to correct, Morris said, and greatly increase the chance of significant regulatory penalties. In addition to the new law reducing that potential exposure, another likely benefit will be an increase in voluntary disclosures and quicker reactions to fix any violations, he said.
The changes in the law will lead to greater consistency between Texas law and the self-audit and reporting policies of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The bill drew the support of numerous organizations, including the Texas Association of Business, Texas Oil and Gas Association, Texas Chemical Council, Texas Association of Manufacturers, Environmental Defense Fund and the Texas League of Conservation Voters.
It was signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry on May 24. The new law will become effective Sept. 1.

Title: Will Texas Mountain Laurel roots damage pipes in Tucson AZ?
Answered by: Barbara Medford
We have a Texas Laurel tree in our back yard,and it is doing fine, and we are are planning to put another one in the front yard close to the house will the root system attack our pipes ? no septic system.ANSWER:
Do you mean a Texas Mountain Laurel, Sophora secundiflora (Texas mountain-laurel)? We will assume that is the tree you are considering. We were concerned when we discovered that it is not listed as native to Arizona in our Native Plant Database; however, we then found this article by Master Gardeners on a Pima County Cooperative Extension website, Texas Mountain Laurel. You say you already have one in your yard, so obviously they must be able to live in Arizona.
When you inquire about the roots of this tree attacking your pipes, are you referring to sewer pipes or water lines? The Mountain Laurel has a sparse root system but a deep taproot, an adaptation for survival in desert conditions. Once upon a time, when most sewer lines were clay, like the clay pots, invasive roots did, indeed, break them up and cause major problems. Nowadays, both water and sewer pipes are more often a heavy-duty plastic material, and don't have as much trouble with roots. The mountain laurel is very difficult to successfully transplant because of that taproot-damaging it in transplanting can be fatal to the tree. We would suggest that you first acquaint yourself with the location of the pipes you are concerned about, including the depth they are in the ground. You did not say if you intended to plant seeds or purchase a tree for transplanting, but it would be a good insurance policy to not dig the hole for the tree directly over those pipes. The resources we searched made no mention of intrusive roots from this tree, just cautioned about the difficult of transplanting the tap root, as well as warning that the tree grows very, very slowly.

Ferreira Earns Children's Hunter Grand Championship at The Hampton Classic
RELEASE: August 28, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Classic Communications
Erica Ferreira and His Way were the Grand Champion Children's Hunter at the Hampton Classic. (Shawn McMillen photo)
Bridgehampton, NY
- Children's hunters, both horses and ponies, took over the hunter rings in Tuesday's edition of the 38th Annual Hampton Classic Horse Show.
Erica Ferreira, of Bridgehampton, N.Y., and His Way were named the Grand Champion Children's Hunter after earning the Children's Hunter Large Pony Championship.
Blu Venture, ridden by Hensley Humphries of Short Hills, N.J., and Simply Magical, ridden by Stella Propp of New York, N.Y., won the championships in the two sections of the Children's Hunter Small/Medium Pony division.
Lilly, ridden by Lili Halterman of New York, N.Y., won the Children's Hunter Horse, 14 & Under, championship.
Carmona, ridden by Paige Israel of New York, N.Y., won the Children's Hunter Horse, 15-17, championship.
The day climaxed with four $2,500 Marshall & Sterling Hunter Classics, one each for the two pony sections and one each for the two horse age groups.
Caroline Cline, of New York, N.Y., rode Small Talk to victory in the $2,500 Marshall & Sterling Children's Hunter Horse, 15-17 Years Classic. The 17-year-old junior at Riverdale Country School took the lead in the first round and achieved an even better performance in the second round.
"I have a great horse and a great trainer, so I didn't really feel any pressure," said Cline, who trains with Bonnie Cunniffe.
"Small Talk went really well in both rounds, but I thought I rode better in the second round. I thought it was more refined," Cline added.
Cline said that Small Talk, a 16-year-old veteran of hunter shows, prefers larger, grass-covered rings like the Hampton Classic's Anne Aspinall Ring. "He loves it on the grass field, so he's even more fun to ride then," she said.
Cline's family usually spends the summer months on eastern Long Island, so the Hampton Classic is a special show for her. "I've always wanted to ride here, and winning this makes it even more special. It's a great way to end the summer!" she said.
Coco Faith, of Fairfield, Conn., rode Monopolu to win the Marshall & Sterling Children's Hunter Horse, 14 & Under Under, Classic.
Kathryn Pizzi of Port Washington, N.Y., rode Rhyme 'N Reason to win the Marshall & Sterling Small/Medium Pony Classic.
Sabrina Livigni, of Shoreham, N.Y., rode Benlea Sea Wolf to win the Marshal & Sterling Large Pony Classic.

PoliticsTunisia media closures 'undermine' freedom A government initiative to shut down unlicensed media outlets and mosques has drawn strong criticism from rights groups. Jacob Jaffe | 20 Aug 2014 12:09 GMT | Politics, Libya, Tunisia, Middle East Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa has shut down mosques, accusing them of inciting violence [Reuters]Tunis, Tunisia - As Tunisia moves closer to legislative and presidential elections planned for this fall, its technocratic interim government faces a major challenge: How to balance security while protecting hard-fought post-revolution freedoms. On July 16, an attack on Chaambi mountain killed 15 soldiers and wounded 18 others. In response to the Chaambi attack, Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa created a "crisis cell" to help coordinate the government's security efforts. Among the group's actions was the decision to close unlicensed media outlets which the government said had "turned into platforms for takfiris [Muslims who accuse other Muslims of apostasy] and jihadis", as well as a number of mosques deemed to be inciting violence. The prime minister's office also warned that "security and military institutions constitute a red line", pledging to prosecute "any denigrating person, group, party or institution". The move drew mixed reactions from rights activists and media experts. "[My organisation agrees] that the unusual security situation, at the moment, requires that the government protect its people and defend our national interests," Ahmed Rahmouni, president of the Tunisian Observatory for Judicial Independence, told Al Jazeera. "But the [current] counterterrorist operation undermines the fundamental freedoms won during the transitional period, and we cannot fight terrorism by violating human rights and international treaties." We cannot fight terrorism by violating human rights and international treaties. - Ahmed Rahmouni, Tunisian Observatory for Judicial Independence "We believe that the government made these decisions too hastily and that it gave the Ministry of the Interior substantial powers without accountability," he added. RELATED: Tunisia closes door on Libya's displaced The idea that the government can take such decisions is particularly sensitive when viewed in the context of a political transition presided over by an unelected interim government. Fahem Boukaddous, a member of the Tunisian Center for Press Freedom, described the government's decision to shut down the media outlets as "a threat to Tunisia's recent free speech advancements", made after the country's 2011 revolution toppled long-time Tunisian dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. Boukaddous told Al Jazeera that Tunisians should take a "courageous" stand against these measures. "This decision is unconstitutional, as such measures could only be taken by [the Independent High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HAICA)]," he said. HAICA is Tunisia's independent regulatory body established by a 2011 law to "guarantee the freedom and pluralism of audiovisual communication […] without any intervention from parties capable of influencing its members or activities". Questions have been raised about HAICA's role in regulating such media outlets and whether the government followed appropriate protocol in making its decision. "We were not consulted by the government before the closures," HAICA President Nouri Lajmi told Al Jazeera. When asked why the government failed to do so, Lajmi said: "You have to put the event in the context of rising terrorism in Tunisia." "When some radio stations break the law, we take action," he added. "Nobody is above the law... Many media outlets began broadcasting illegally during the revolution, before HAICA began operating. When they do so, HAICA is there to regulate their legal status." Tunisians protested an attack on Chaambi mountain that killed 15 soldiers and injured 18 others in July [Reuters] The body was examining at least 50 media cases, according to HAICA member Hichem Snoussi. "We decided not to rush the closure of these illegal media organisations," he told Al Jazeera. "Rather, we called on them to prepare papers and obtain licenses which commit them to legal requirements and moral principles." "The government does not have the right to interfere in this domain," Snoussi added. The decision singled out Nour FM and satellite channel Al-Insen for closure. "This decision is illegal, unfair, and arbitrary," Al-Insen journalist Said Jaziri told Al Jazeera. "We never had any problems before with the government. We interact directly with the Ministry of Religious Affairs, attend their seminars and conferences, and have hosts who are imams and decision makers in the ministry." While Jaziri said the decision has yet to be implemented, and that the station was still broadcasting, Mofdi Mseddi, press attache for the prime ministry, denied that the decision had changed. "The closure order will be implemented by public prosecution," he said. Despite opposition to the government's decision, most seem to agree that radio and television stations must adhere to certain standards. "The freedoms of expression and the press are not absolute freedoms like all the others," Snoussi said. "Rather, they have rules and limits. Some of the media organisations in existence today have not respected these rules. We cannot allow them to practise chaotic acts in the name of democracy." Segments of the Tunisian public agree. "If television channels are calling for jihad and promoting extremist thoughts, they should be closed," a 50-year-old Tunisian man, who gave his name as Bizerti, said. "They brainwash our youth." RELATED: Tunisia parties agree on election timetable Tunisia's government also announced the "immediate closure of mosques located outside the supervision of the Ministry of Religious Affairs", pending government appointments of new leaders. The government said that Salafi fighters use many of these mosques to encourage violence. Salafism is a conservative branch of Sunni Islam that adheres to a strict interpretation of religious texts. We have 21 mosques outside of government control. Many of these were built after the revolution without a license. The closures were due to celebrations of our soldiers' deaths [in the Chaambi attack]. - Mofdi Mseddi, press attache, prime minister's office "We have 21 mosques outside of government control," Mseddi, from the prime minister's office, told Al Jazeera. "Many of these were built after the revolution without a license. The closures were due to celebrations of our soldiers' deaths [in the Chaambi attack]." He added: "Mehdi Jomaa announced [on August 2] that procedures for hiring new imams and reopening the mosques will be expedited." The mosque closures have received mixed reactions in Tunisia, with some supporting the government's efforts. "Mosques are good for worshipping God and reciting the Quran," 70-year-old Youssef Balti told Al Jazeera. "However, they should be closed when they are used to promote the messages of these false preachers who know nothing about Islam [and] raise Salafi flags." Meanwhile, Ministry of Religious Affairs spokesperson Najat Hammami told Al Jazeera that five mosques had been allowed to reopen, with a sixth expected soon. Ridha Belhaj, president of Hizb Attahrir, a Salafi party calling for the implementation of Islamic law, said the closures were an attempt to reassert control over a segment of the Tunisian population which has been able to act more freely in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution. "Some parties want to use terrorism to scare the people, saying it is an exceptional situation in order to control them again," Belhaj said. "One day, they ban some mosques. The next, they will ban certain religious books." He added that the government could regulate some of the mosques, rather than shutting them down. "The government should instead be concerned with what these mosques need [to counter radicalism]." Safa Ben Said, Imen Blioua, and Fanny Ohier contributed reporting.Source: Al Jazeera

Now batting cleanup, Dustin Pedroia. The notion of the 160-pound second baseman occupying the spot usually designated for a team's top power hitter seemed like a punchline. The Red Sox were certainly happy to treat it like one.
"I'll never hear the end of it from Pedroia or (David) Ortiz," said Sox manager Terry Francona. "Pedroia said its long overdue and Ortiz said he's retiring."
Such smirks reflect the revered status that Pedroia enjoys within the Sox clubhouse. Teammates constantly marvel at his all-around game, and had yet another moment to reflect on his talents after he went 4-for-4 in Boston's 8-2 win over the White Sox last night.
Yet even the team that made the second baseman its top pick in the 2004 draft—in spite of skepticism about Pedroia's talent from other teams—did not foresee what would transpire in his second full year in the majors.
With his second straight four-hit game yesterday, Pedroia is now hitting .327, a mark that would be the best ever by a Sox second baseman and an improvement of his .317 batting average of a year ago.
But with more than a month left in the season, he has already eclipsed his doubles (42 to 39) and home run (15 to 8) totals of a year ago. With such totals, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen pointed out, Pedroia was the logical man to offer lineup protection to Ortiz.
"I told David he better stop bitching about not getting pitches to hit," said Pedroia. "He got a lot tonight."
Pedroia's performance is no laughing matter. A case can be made that Pedroia is producing one of the greatest all-around seasons by a second baseman. Assuming that he steals one more base, Pedroia will become just the 14th second baseman since 1901 to hit at least .300, launch 15 homers, swipe 15 bags and score 100 runs.
Such a feat would put him in the company of a short-list of second basemen highlighted by Hall of Famers Rogers Hornsby, Charlie Gehringer, Ryne Sandberg, Jackie Robinson, Joe Morgan and future Hall of Famer Craig Biggio. Even the Sox did not forecast this sort of production, particularly the power.
"It's not surprising us that he's hitting .300. We just knew he could hit," said Sox amateur scouting director Jason McLeod. "I did think he could hit 10 (homers), just because he swings so hard and makes contact. I didn't think he could hit 15. It's incredible."
Pedroia's first career grand slam on Wednesday was particularly startling. He slammed a belt-high, 91-mph fastball into the netting beyond Yankee Stadium's wall in left-center, a blast that traveled over 390 feet.
Some prototypical right-handed sluggers have a difficult time clearing that nether region of the Bronx. (David Eckstein, the player to whom Pedroia was once misleadingly compared, has never homered in Yankee Stadium.) That Pedroia proved capable of doing so left members of the organization in awe.
"He's amazing," said Sox D.H. David Ortiz. "Having a little guy like Pedroia swinging the bat like that, putting every single pound right behind the ball, that's amazing."
"He's a freak. He's a freak," said Sox advance scout Todd Claus, who managed Pedroia in Double-A Portland in 2005. "Who else that looks like him does what he does? He's the only one."
The development seems all the more remarkable given that Pedroia underwent surgery over the offseason to remove a fractured hamate in his left hand. Wrist surgeries have been known to have power-sapping effects, particularly since they can impair a player's ability to follow his normal strength and conditioning program.
But if Pedroia heard suggestions that the procedure might limit his production, he summarily dismissed them.
"That's probably an excuse," said Pedroia. "If I don't play good, it's my fault."
Within four days of the surgery, Pedroia had already resumed lifting with his lower legs. He was able to return to Athletes Performance Institute in Tempe, Ariz., and follow a full offseason program.
Pedroia first went to API while he was in college at Arizona State University. ASU baseball coach Pat Murphy suggested that his shortstop should add a bit of muscle mass to his skinny frame.
Pedroia has stayed with it, and also improved his diet and nutrition after the Sox suggested that he do so when he reported to spring training in 2006. The 25-year-old's commitment to his fitness has certainly aided his surprising boost in power, but Pedroia believes that his maturation as a baseball player has been more central in his increased home run totals.
"I'm just getting better," said Pedroia. "I work hard enough. As I keep playing, I'm going to continue to get better."
The notion is an interesting one to contemplate, given Pedroia's current standing in the game. The starting second baseman for the American League All-Star team is already distinguishing himself as a player.
On Friday, White Sox manager Guillen said that he worried more about Pedroia than Ortiz. Yesterday, the Chicago skipper added to the lauds.
"He's a bad (expletive). He's a bad (expletive)," said Guillen. "I think Pedroia is the heart of the ballclub right now. A lot of people talked about Manny (Ramirez) leaving. I wish Pedroia was the one that was leaving. This kid can beat you so many different ways: homeruns, doubles, make the plays, steal a base, bunt. He can do a lot of great things."
Thanks to hand-eye coordination that McLeod describes as the best he's ever seen in a hitter, Pedroia has a freakish ability to square the ball while swinging with maximum force. The result is an ability to drive the ball without swinging and missing.
As a rookie, he had 48 extra-base hits and 42 strikeouts. This year, he has 59 extra-base knocks and just 47 punchouts. Ortiz, who has gone deep 17 times this year, marveled that Pedroia is just two homers shy of his output. Such outcomes have forced Pedroia's former critics to concede a misjudgment.
"There was a scout the other day in Baltimore, a guy who's been doing it for a long time and saw him play in Triple-A, and had him in at best as a major-league backup who could not play shortstop. He had him as a utility guy," said Claus. "When I first saw him, I thought that. I'm sure a lot of people thought that. He really grows on you. He's easy to grow on you."
His game, once scrutinized for apparent weaknesses, is instead being heralded for its completeness. As a result, a player whose most notable trait was once his lack of size is now assuming an enormous presence in the Red Sox effort to defend their title.

Kim Clijsters (BEL)
World No. 2 Kim Clijsters has been forced out of Belgium's team to face Czech Republic in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group semifinals in Charleroi on 16-17 April.
Clijsters suffered with shoulder and wrist injuries during the American hard court season at Indian Wells and Miami, and has been ruled out of action for at least four weeks.
"I think this is a great pity," said Clijsters on her official website. "The Fed Cup is something I was really looking forward to, but I felt that something was out of the ordinary.
"There were too many minor ailments, one after the other, which did not seem to disappear. Something like that gets into your head."I don't want to force anything, because I want to prevent it from becoming chronic by any means. I really want to be there at this year's Roland Garros.
"Now there is no other option than to rest and I certainly can't use a tennis racket for the first few weeks. We will continue with lots of physiotherapy and exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles."
Clijsters, the reigning US Open and Australian Open champion, led Belgium to a 4-1 victory over USA in the first round, but will now have to rely on her teammates to get the home side through to the final.
With Justine Henin retired, the responsibility will likely fall on the shoulders of Yanina Wickmayer and Kirsten Flipkens against a full strength Czech line-up of Petra Kvitova, Lucie Safarova, Iveta Benesova and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.
The deadline for official team nominations is on 6 April.

You can also email us @ email@example.com. Visit us at www.leaguelineup.com/southjohnstonpopwarner for more information. 2015 Fastpitch FrenzyThe Four Oaks Civitan will be hosting the 8th Annual Fastpitch Frenzy girls softball tournament April 23-26 (will use April 22 if needed based on team counts). We will be limiting the team counts to just what the Four Oaks fields can handle (feel that it was a better tournament for the parents and kids when it was at just one location) so teams will be committed as first come first serve. The tournament will be run as it has in the past ... rec teams only with a valid roster. We have always had an 8U, 10U, and 12U bracket, but we can have a 14U bracket as well if we have enough teams. The tournament format will be double elimination bracket play but we will base the number of pool games on the number of teams we have playing.
Team commitments are due Wednesday April 8 so umpires can be booked and brackets be set. The registration fee payable to Four Oaks Civitan Fastpitch Frenzy (due no later than April 8) this year will remain at $50 to help cover umpire fees and there will be a gate fee for parents and observers just as in the past.
There will be a mandatory coaches meeting set once the county softball league sets their April coaches meeting date in an effort to cut down on your meetings. At this meeting rosters will be due for every team, NO EXCEPTIONS if they have not already been turned in. We will also be drawing for bracket games that night.

Optimum Nutrition's 2:1:1 Recovery review
Optimum Nutrition's 2:1:1 Recovery review
This is my new favorite protein. I can't believe how good it tastes. Even in water. I have the Colossal Chocolate flavor. It seems to be working great for recovery. I'm sore for about a day after a heavy workout instead of 3. It tastes better than muscle milk hands down and is very low in fat content. This will be a new staple to my supplement stash.

1/2 HP Craftsman GDO problem
I posted this earlier in the wrong spot, this is my first time. I have just completed a worm gear replacement on a craftsman 1/2 hp GDO. After assembly the door will only travel a short distance before going right back to its starting point (with chain on or off). I have adjusted everything on the opener but still have the same result.
Would the RPM sensor have anything to do with this? Safety sensors on the door are working properly as well
Make sure you put the black cup back on the end of the motor shaft and that it is pressed all the way on. Make sure the RPM sensor is plugged in. If neither of these are the issue then you probably did not have the motor shaft pushed all the way back when you tightened the coupler after replacing the worm gear. Loosen that coupler and from the front of the motor (opposite end in which the coupler is on) push the shaft back as far as it will go. Hold it there while you tighten the coupler back up and then try it.
I just recently replaced the gear on my older craftsman garage door opener and have tried everything to get it to run properly. It will run for 6-10 inches and then stop and reverse itself. Is it possble that the motor has gone bad in it? I have replaced several gears on this unit and have never encountered this problem with the motor running like this, I even took the chain off like you suggested to anther person to try and get the motor to reengage itself. Any suggestions? Tony.
PS. What is the RPM sensor and would my model 53600 have one? Thanks for any help.

Wood Carving
itieladyAugust 21, 2007
Are there any people who carve wood? I'm trying to relearn and can use some advice on where to buy some Bass Wood. I live in CA in the country, so going to my local lumber yard for fancy carving woods is a no go. Not talking about "planking" just some small blocks of wood at a fair price as I would have to pay shipping.
I think there are. I go to a woodcarving show every couple of years and there are always vendors there selling knives and blocks. I just don't remember who they are.
For $16 a year, you should subscribe to Chip Chats and read for ideas and ads.
Here is a link that might be useful: National Woodcarving Association
Go to www.fandfwoodcarving.com
They have basswood blocks.

DEBORAH AMOS, host:
A funny thing happened on Wall Street yesterday. Another big bank announced multibillion-dollar losses related to the mortgage mess. This time it was Wachovia. But instead of rattling investors, the news sent Wachovia stocks soaring almost 17 percent higher. Shares in other financial institutions also jumped. To explain what the market is thinking, we called NPR's Chris Arnold.
Good morning.
CHRIS ARNOLD: Hey, Deb.
AMOS: So explain. What is going on here?
ARNOLD: Well, you know, it's interesting how quickly the mood of the market can change. You remember just a week or so ago there was IndyMac bank had just failed and all over television there were lines of people around the block...
AMOS: Yeah, sure.
ARNOLD: ...worried they weren't going to get their money. And also, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, those two giant mortgage companies, there were some real concerns over, you know, had they just totally overextended themselves and, you know, were they falling apart. Their stock prices were tanking and investors were just really spooked.
AMOS: OK. So what changed?
ARNOLD: Well, over the past week there's been a string of not great but better than expected earnings reports. And those have come from some big banks - Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, WaMu - after the market closed yesterday.
Also, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you know, the government's come out and said we're going to prop those companies up. They're not going to fail. There was an independent review that showed that, you know, they're in basically not great shape but better shape than some people feared.
And the picture all that's painting is that, look, going forward there are going to be some companies that are in real trouble but a lot of others that are finding their footing. And that's encouraging. And the Dow's up more than 500 points in a week.
AMOS: But does this mean the mortgage crisis is over or it's just that these stocks are really cheap?
ARNOLD: Well, you know, nobody really knows where the market's headed. Some investors probably do think these stocks are cheap. They've fallen so far. But you have to remember a lot of these big financial stocks are still down more than 50 percent from where they were a year ago and a lot of them are still losing money. So they're not exactly out of the woods.
AMOS: All the headlines are about the big banks, but is there any good news in other parts of the banking sector?
ARNOLD: Well, you know, there are big banks and there are small banks. The worry was that a lot of these smaller and regional banks had sort of overextended themselves on construction loans. But the issue there, it's like the big banks. You know, you can't paint them all with the same brush. And some of those smaller and regional banks are coming out with earnings reports now that are better than expected. And many of their stocks have been bouncing back too.
AMOS: What does it say for the larger economy that the stock market is inching up again?
ARNOLD: Well, the thing is that businesses and people need to borrow money all the time. So the health of the banking sector is very important. If it becomes even a little bit harder to borrow money, you know, it's harder for you to go refinance your house and spend money building a new kitchen or something. And you know, it's harder for big companies to hire people and expand. And that's a drag. And it's one of the things that can push the economy from sort of teetering on recession to being in recession.
And bank stocks recovering here, you know, it helps relieve some pressure on the banks. But again, I mean we've still got a lot of problems in the economy. The housing market is a huge issue. We've still got a very big foreclosure mess on our hands. That's driving prices down. Seven hundred thousand homes every year are getting put back on the market through foreclosure sales. That number's probably increasing. And you know, as prices fall, that hurts banks and regular people. So the economy's still facing some pretty big problems here and it's unclear which way it's headed.
AMOS: Thank you very much.
ARNOLD: Thanks, Deb.
AMOS: NPR's Chris Arnold.
