Bankrate: Mortgage Rates Slide As Fed Maintains Stimulus
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mortgage rates declined for a second week in a row, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate pulling back to 4.66 percent, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The average 30-year fixed mortgage has an average of 0.29 discount and origination points.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040122/FLTHLOGO )
To see mortgage rates in your area, go to http://www.bankrate.com/funnel/mortgages/.
The average 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.7 percent, while the larger jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 4.77 percent. Adjustable rate mortgages were lower across the board. The popular 5-year adjustable rate sank to 3.55 percent, while the 10-year ARM retreated to 4.2 percent.
Mortgage rates have been down for two weeks in a row and with the Federal Reserve deciding not to start scaling back their stimulus, this will keep a lid on mortgage rates for the time being. The slow growth economy, high unemployment, and the looming government budget and debt ceiling debates gave the Fed all the cover they needed to hold off on tapering at this point. However, once the tapering inevitably starts, mortgage rates will likely resume the upward climb. As recently as May 1 st, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 3.52 percent. At that time, a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $900.32. With the average rate currently at 4.66 percent, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $1,032.47, a difference of $132 per month for anyone that waited too long. SURVEY RESULTS 30-year fixed: 4.66% -- down from 4.71% last week (avg. points: 0.29) 15-year fixed: 3.70% -- down from 3.75% last week (avg. points: 0.24)Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The dollar has remained strong despite a fall in the terms of trade. Photo: Adam Turner
The Reserve Bank of Australia says it has scope to cut interest rates, if needed, to offset the effect of the high Australian dollar.
RBA assistant governor Guy Debelle this morning said the central bank had been able to counter the effects of the high value of the Australian dollar on the economy by cutting the cash rate.
And, he said, the RBA could further cut the cash rate, currently at 3.0 per cent, if the high dollar continued to have a negative impact.
''To date in Australia, we have been able to counter the effects of the higher Australian dollar with lower interest rates,'' he said in a speech to the University of Adelaide Business School. ''We still, obviously, retain scope to lower interest rates further, should the need arise, including to counterbalance the pressures of an elevated exchange rate.''
Mr Debelle also said that, theorically, there was no limit on the bank's ability to sell the local dollar should intervention be warranted.
The Australian dollar slipped on Mr Debelle's speech, falling to the morning's low of $US1.0249, after earlier trading slightly above $US1.03. It's currently trading at $US1.0268, having traded above the parity mark for most of the past two years, despite a fall in Australia's terms of trade over that time.
The RBA cut the cash rate a total of 1.75 percentage points between November 2011 and December 2012. But Mr Debelle warned that cutting interest rates too far could also create problems for the economy - forcing up the price of assets and causing people to borrow more than they could afford.
''It can generate excess credit expansion or asset price inflation or imbalances elsewhere in the economy,'' he said. ''The current experience of Canada, Hong Kong and Switzerland is salient in this respect.''
Mr Debelle also said the RBA's rate cuts over the past two years had less of an impact on mortgage rates than in the past, due to higher bank funding costs.
''The cash rate has a large influence on lending rates, but there are other factors such as credit risk premia, competitive pressures in the deposit market, as well as changes in the mix of funding banks use.
''Over the past five years, there has been quite a material change in a number of these factors, so that while changes in the cash rate are still the predominant determinant of changes in lending rates, the relationship between them is not one for one.''

At the end of September last year, the Fog was formed and set about "trying to recapture music that had integrity," Sams explains. "The songs of that era had political messages, verbiage with meaning and feeling, more so than today's kind of music. Today's music is missing the message." Yesterday's sociopolitical approach to righting wrongs has been supplanted by a more immediate response to problems: Blow the offending son of a bitch away in a drive-by.
The Reawakening album was completed in the third week of October and the Fog scheduled a live performance in Old Fort, North Carolina the day after the sessions ended. Some 350 people showed up. "We began practicing seven nights a week, playing at festivals," Sams says. "But we haven't really broken out of our shell yet. That'll happen when we come to Florida." (Sams did visit a while back to appear on Evan Chern's radio show on WDNA-FM [88.9].) The band will be playing several dates this week and next at local venues.
"This fan club sprang up," Sams says from his home in Old Fort. "We didn't start it. Now it has 150 members based in Asheville." That's remarkable. Then again, when you hear the Fog's music, maybe it's not so remarkable. Count me as member 151.
This isn't classic rock, it's vintage rock. Guitars and bass and drums and charismatic singing and melodies and hooks and -- real rock and roll as it always has been meant to be played. Songs of great diversity sharing a common thread. The good stuff. Timeless. Immortal.
Though the Fog might still be in its Old Fort shell, Nashville's Sun Entertainment offered the group a deal. "If Sun gets a deal for us in Europe," Sams says, "then we'll sign with them exclusively for Europe. We're still a free agent in the States. Sun is strictly handling distribution here."
Inside Edition dispatched correspondent Joel Loy and crew to tape a segment involving the Fog back in September. It hasn't aired yet, and the show's managing editor says it's still not scheduled to.
While former TV stars and Fog album guests Peterson and Boone are suited to splashy television programs -- they've both gotten nostalgic on sundry daytime gabfests like Geraldo -- Sams is not. Though articulate and candid, Sams is no blabbermouth.
I had to drag from him his personal background, how he came to leave behind Miami's rock scene to end up in the boondocks as an attorney and businessman. Sams was born in Charlotte, came to Miami at age five, and he decided to become a cop in 1969, after the Squires disbanded, when he went to the police academy. He became a patrolman (once busting some pot smokers who recognized him as the Squires's drummer), then a detective. He remained in Miami until October of 1972, when he found out the Army was set to draft him. He immediately volunteered, Special Forces, and served for nine years. He took advantage of the service's educational opportunities, dreaming of continuing a career in law enforcement. But Sams could not continue as a police officer; instead he worked his way through several schools to obtain a law degree. He took a job with Melvin Belli in San Diego that lasted until 1984, when he "retired" and went back home to North Carolina.
Yes, I had the same question: Why couldn't he go back to being a cop? "I had a disability." A disability? "Yes, 40 percent disabled." Um, well, uh, which 40 percent of you? "My lungs." Your lungs? "Yes." Eventually the truth comes out: While serving with the Special Forces in Vietnam, Sams was, in his word, "gassed."
Many of the players in Miami's Sixties have stories to tell (and many got the chance in Lemlich's book). For instance, the band Evil destroyed the stage after covering the Who's "My Generation" during the 1966 Youth Fair's battle of the bands A and still ended up winning the contest. But censorship was also a problem. As a reminder of that earlier era, the new Fog album has the Montells (featuring Steve Bates) version of the Pretty Things's "Don't Bring Me Down." Sams decided to include the Montells's original recording of the song on the Fog album, complete with the censor's bleeps. The offending word: "lay." The key line where that word is bleeped: "when I A- her on the ground."
Some things change, some don't. A question I have to ask myself during the early stages of the Fog's ever-expanding reawakening: In 1994 is this just another desperate grasp at nostalgia, or viable music for a new generation? I feel strongly it's the latter, but time will tell.
"We tried to update without losing the Sixties vitality," offers Sams. "The anti-establishment thing is still alive. But young people don't understand what they're protesting. For kids in the Sixties, the issues were simpler. We were more aware and understood better the unpopular war and Kent State and the things government did. The government still does that stuff, but today, as a response, the youth has a more violent overtone. Ours wasn't violent, it was a message that we weren't happy. We let people know we had other ideas." Even their songs from 30 years ago retain their iconoclastic edge. The new Fog album, for example, includes a song called "LSD." I know what you're thinking, but the point of the tune is contained in the chorus: "I don't need no LSD."

The effect of manufactured gold nanoparticles (NPs) on the immune system was analysed through their ability to perturb the functions of dendritic cells (DCs), a major actor of both innate and acquired immune responses. For this purpose, DCs were produced in culture from mouse bone marrow progenitors. The analysis of the viability of the cells after their incubation in the presence of gold NPs shows that these NPs are not cytotoxics even at high concentration. Furthermore, the phenotype of the DC is unchanged after the addition of NPs, indicating that there is no activation of the DC. However, the analysis of the cells at the intracellular level reveals important amounts of gold NPs amassing in endocytic compartments. Furthermore, the secretion of cytokines is significantly modified after such internalisation indicating a potential perturbation of the immune response.

I'm tired of living for what happens after i die. What's the point of living on a straight line without breathing space if you're doing it for the afterlife? Heaven? hell? Who cares, you're dead. I want to live, to experience as much as i can and write and sing and draw and cry and laugh about it. I want to know love, i want to know freedom. I want to know loneliness and submission. But i'm not going to submit my life to death before i've even begun. (for any of you that havent caught on, i'm talking abotu religion.)
I know a girl who broke her life. The used CD, the one with I Caught Fire (in your eyes) on it. She lived for her music, and she gave it up to show someone that god is worth living for. She cut herself on the shards when she broke that CD, along with her others. I picked up a piece and it pricked my finger, so i bled a little. I left because i was overwhelmed. But she was broken. Her heart had broken. I dont know anymore. I wouldn't give up my life for that. Is trading myself in for the unknown really worth it? I dont think so. I'd never give up my music. I wouldn't give up my freedom, my love, for that. I wouldn't give up my sadness and loneliness for it. It's a part of me. And whatever happens to me after i die happens.

Purchasing a new frame not only requires a lot of research of reviews and specifications, but one must also find a heroic event in cycling history that involved the frame. This event is key during interval training and early morning rides when motivating oneself to pedal when logic provides no reason to be on the bike.

Having received so many accolades on the quality of the concerts and the wonderful experience of the afternoon cream teas that followed, it was a no-brainer to put together a second season of the DoReTEA concert series at Living Faith Lutheran Church.
The little white church in Davis Bay provides an intimate space to allow the audiences to feel totally involved with the musicians and their music. The concerts and the teas are once again scheduled on the last Friday in April, May and June.
Gemini will be performing first on April 25. This very gifted multi-talented sister duo, Valerie-Anne Rutter and Julie Rutter, are creating an eclectic musical experience that travels from Renaissance to Rag-time.
Their ability to synchronize so naturally with the combination of the various instruments possibly stems from being identical twins. They will be playing four-hand piano, and collaborating to combine Julie's finesse on the flute and Val's mastery of recorders with the keyboard.
Gemini has a reputation for passionate committed playing and sensitive musical artistry. They share their obvious genuine love and joy of making music with their audiences with informative descriptions of the music and entertaining anecdotes.
Born and educated in Britain, the twins received diplomas with first class honours and distinction. They have performed in many recitals in concert series and music festivals in Europe and in Canada as a duo performing on CBC radio. Gemini's first CD was nominated for best classical album in the West Coast Music Awards. They live in Sechelt as next-door neighbours and both enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels.
Tickets that include the tea are $25, available at Swish in Gibsons Landing, the Visitor Information Centre in Sechelt and EarthFair in Madeira Park, at the door or reserve with Lisa by calling 604-741-9943. A limited number of concert only tickets are available for $15 by calling Lisa.

- She was born Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre in El Centro, California. She is of Armenian and Native American (Cherokee) decent.
- Cher began working as a session singer in an attempt to finance an acting career. Her future husband Sonny Bono introduced her to Phil Spector, who hired her as a backing vocalist.
- After releasing two singles under the name Caesar And Cleo, Sonny and Cher gained stardom as Sonny And Cher. Throughout this period Cher also sustained a solo career, initially singing a paean to Ringo Starr ("Ringo I Love You") under the pseudonym Bonnie Jo Mason. Thereafter, she secured several hits, including a cover version of the Byrds "All I Really Want To Do."
- Cher appeared in 2 minor '60s films: Good Times (1967) and Chastity (1969).
- In 1971, the chart-topping "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" and its attendant album saw her back in the ascendant. Two further US number 1 hits ("Half Breed" and "Dark Lady") preceded her divorce from Sonny, though for a time the duo continued to appear together on stage and television.
- Cher had an on-off relationship with Gregg Allman starting in 1975 and divorcing in 1979. Their union resulted in one album, the punningly titled, Allman and Woman: Two The Hard Way. By the late '70s, she became a regular fixture in gossip columns and fashion magazines which lauded over her sartorial outrageousness and much publicized musical and personal relationships with Allman, Gene Simmons (of KISS) and Les Dudek. She was also associated with Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Richie Sambora, and Warren Beatty.
- In 1981, Cher appeared on Meat Loaf's "Dead Ringer For Love" but recording interests increasingly took a back seat to her first love: acting. A leading role in Come Back To The Five And Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982) was followed by a lucrative part in Silkwood (1983), and an Oscar nomination. Appearances in Mask (1985), The Witches Of Eastwick (1987) and Suspect (1987) emphasized that her thespian aspirations were no mere sideline. For Moonstruck (1987), she won an Oscar for Best Actress.
- She has a son with Greg Allman named Elijah Blue Allman. She also has a daughter with Sonny Bono named Chastity Bono.
- Cher is dyslexic.
- Cher has been romantically linked to Warren Beaty, Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, Eric Stoltz (her co-star in Mask), and Gene Simmons, the lead guitarist of the band KISS, who gave her son Elijah Blue Allman his first guitar.
- Cher has won many awards in television, film and music. These include an Academy Award, a Grammy, an Emmy, three Golden Globes, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Posted by Abe Sauer on March 26, 2012 12:01 PM
We have already looked at how Lionsgate studio marketedThe Hunger Games, an $80 million film which reaped an opening weekend box office of $155 million.
Now, a look at how brands are using The Hunger Games to sell themselves. Call it The Hunger Games Brand Extension Games.
The Hunger Games itself takes place in a world full of wild technology and modern amenities, yet barren of branding. Even so, a few wags put together what the film might have looked like had it courted more product placement.
Offscreen, every retailer wants a piece of the cornucopia of Hunger Games merchandise. Walk into any Hot Topic store in any mall in America and you will be plied with Hunger Games, Peeta and Katniss keepsakes. Hot Topic is even selling a bow and arrow, the "exact replica of the one used by Katniss Everdeen to collect food for her family in The Hunger Games." Sorry, it's already sold out.
Speaking of bows, it would seem the archery business is seeing a bit of a boom thanks to The Hunger Games focus on the bow. The Los Angeles Times reports that "Sales of archery equipment have increased more than 20% in the last year," also spurred by upcoming blockbusters Brave (by Pixar) and The Avengers , both of which feature "main characters who are archers."
While The Hunger Games is often cited as a welcome salve for those with Twilight burnout, the film's merchandising is a sequel to the teen vamps and werewolves franchise. Just as Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 used Cafe Press to create an official customization store, in essence turning its merchandising operations over to its fans, so is The Hunger Games.
Like Twilight before it, the Hunger Games official Cafe Press store is full of standard fare appealing to teens: book bags, sweatshirts and underwear(?) But it is also offers a trove of personalize-able and customizable items. As we noted of Twilight's use of Cafe Press: "The idea is that instead of guessing what consumers want, fans are allowed to make Twilight merchandise available for sale. Of course, the idea is that the fans themselves, and their handful of friends, will buy the items."
Additional conventional tie-in products can be found at numerous other stores. Amazon offers the official replica Katniss jacket: Just $149.99. And The Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen Barbie doll? On its way. For purists, the mockingjay pin sported by Hunger Games hero Katniss was designed by Ohio designer Dana Schneider.
Scholastic, The Hunger Games U.S. book publisher, hosted a Hunger Games party for the (mostly) teen fans who arrived dressed as "Tributes" — the children picked to fight each other to the death in the title's competition — at its flagship store in New York's Soho on Saturday. In addition to free cake and face-painting of mockingjay tattoos for fans of all ages, there was (mock) archery training, costumed hosts and heaps of books and merchandise.
Those looking for less conventional Hunger Games merchandise and tie-ins would be well served to start at Capitolcouture.pn, a promotional website from Lionsgate Studio. The Tumblr site bills itself: "Whether you're a Capitol fashionista seeking inspiration for your latest look or a District citizen tracking rumors about the Tributes and other celebs, Capitol Couture is the only place to turn for pictures and news reports on the fashion, trends and lifestyle that make Capitol living so grand."
Looking to pass on Capitol style and live in more, say, District 12 style? For you, there is the Hunger Games "Snuggie."
Meanwhile, services are also "Capitol-izing" on Hunger Games mania. New York Sports Club has designed a "Hunger Games Workout" with a "Train Like a Tribute" fitness regime. "The tribute who does the most circuits in the class' allotted time wins and is given a mockingjay pin like the one Katniss wears." Joining the class? We recommend Amazon's "District 12 Hunger Games Movie Prop Replica Training Shirt." The Hunger Games product frenzy has not passed with a few pot shots at the franchise, including this from College Humor:

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Police are offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of an inmate who escaped from the Klamath County Detention Center early Thursday morning.
The Klamath County Sheriff's Office said 25-year-old Kenneth Robert Banes was being escorted to a fenced yard outside the Klamath County Detention Center just before 5 a.m. when he ran from a corrections officer and escaped through a fence.
Banes was in custody on a parole violation and is considered a non-violent offender based on his past crimes that include burglaries and car theft. Klamath County Sheriff's said Banes has been an inmate worker since August 20th and been in custody in Klamath County since August 15th.The Klamath Falls City Police, Klamath Community Corrections and local law enforcement are actively searching for Banes.

Quoted from Andrea AWsec Why would you take benadryl in the morning? 8 mg would not put a fish to sleep
Quoted from grey rabbit Be careful of the melatonin, if you take it often, your body will stop producing it.Laughter is always good, sometimes I just laugh because otherwise I will cry
Quoted from 815 Wow, Henriette, I didn't know you were still unemployed. If I have tea before bed, I'm up going to the bathroom which defeats the purpose. I usually have a subliminal Sleep Soundly tape I play that most of the time works and I'll take 1 mg of melatonin, but it makes me groggy in the morning. Anything I take to help sleep usually has that effect. Exercise is very important. If I don't get exercise, I sleep poorly as well. You're an RN aren't you? I know you said you have a degree. Is there no jobs out there at all? If you can get some investors, you could open a BTD store ...maybe a small business grant? I found the best way to get into a large institution, is to go in as a Temp. You could sign up with a Temp agency and they send you to different places. If you like the job and they like you, you can get hired easier than if you just applied. This way if you work as a Temp, you'll at least be actively working. Companies don't like to hire people who are out of work a long time...because you're out of the loop. Can you order melatonin through the mail? Or, is it banned in DK?
Quoted from lux eliminating gluten and milk products from the dinner of all kinds, ice cream and all kinds of amides, sugar and canned goods. Drink a hot cup of sage tea to relax the stomach and remove any air. Method at zero cost ...... http://lacucinadilux.wordpress.com/category/orto-sul-balcone/aromi-freschi/
Quoted from Henriette Bsec Sage tea- interesting
Quoted from Conor Some of sage tea's benefits seem to be enhanced during the waning phase of the lunar cycle, culminating with the arrival of the new moon.
Quoted from Henriette Bsec BA in prehistoric Archeology and a Teacher degree ( Geography and Danish)I have decided that I´ll take some temp jobs at the nursing home later ( no I am not RN I have decluttered most of my house today - so lets see if some good fens shui
Quoted from 815 Oh, that's why I thought you were an RN! Because you work in a nursing home! Well, you could change your career...train for something else.. ?? Like computers or go into sales. B's are "people" people. I know exactly what you mean. My son has a hard time accepting things until he doesn't have a choice. He's a very stubborn Capricorn. I also see that you could work in gardening..grow plants, maybe mushrooms and have a stand to sell them or at a Farmer's Market? Apply for a government grant and open a coffee shop? Are you sleeping in your success direction? That would be the best direction. My feng shui teacher said that's the best direction out of all 4 to sleep in. My entire childhood, I slept in my loss or frustration direction! No wonder I didn't do well in school!

Match Preview
Sotirios Kyrgiakos will take Jamie Carragher's place in central defence for Monday's Barclays Premier League encounter at home to Aston Villa as the vice-captain undergoes a shoulder operation.
Carragher sustained a dislocation in last weekend's defeat at Tottenham and is likely to be out for three months, leaving the team with only two senior centre-backs in the former Greece international and Martin Skrtel.
Manager Roy Hodgson will welcome back his first-choice players having left eight at home - only three of whom were injured - for the Europa League draw with Steaua Bucharest.
Captain Steven Gerrard is likely to be at least another week away from returning from a hamstring injury sustained on England duty last month while no date has been set for defender Daniel Agger's return.
Roy Hodgson expects former Reds boss Gerard Houllier to receive a warm welcome on his competitive return to Anfield.
But he hopes that is all he gets as the Englishman is keen for his side to continue their recent improvement, even taking into account last weekend's injury-time defeat at Tottenham.
Houllier sat alongside the man who now has his old job in the Liverpool dugout for Jamie Carragher's testimonial in September.
On Monday he will sit on the unfamiliar opposition bench where he will try to get one over on his former club, with whom he won the Carling Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup treble in 2001.
Houllier and Hodgson share many similarities and are close friends but that will count for nothing as Liverpool look to extend a four-match winning run at Anfield in all competitions.
"I have known Gerard for many years, since I went to Switzerland in 1990," said the current Liverpool manager.
"We have been friends for over 20 years, we've done a lot of work together in Europe for UEFA in the technical study groups and FIFA as well for that matter.
"I am delighted he is back in English football and I am certain he will get a very good reception when he comes back to Anfield because people appreciated the work he did for Liverpool.
"Like anyone in the Premier League, we all have difficult jobs on our hands and we know his team will be hard to beat, well organised and have some very good individual players.
"I am hoping we will carry on where we have left off in the last couple of games, particularly against West Ham (a 3-0 home win) and Tottenham (a 2-1 away defeat).
"If we can play at that level for the rest of the season I have high hopes we will do well."
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young is suspended.
Young collected his fifth booking of the campaign during the Carling Cup semi-final defeat against Birmingham in midweek and will have to serve a one-game ban.
Midfielder Barry Bannan is also rated doubtful by Villa boss Houllier after being substituted with a groin injury against Blues.
Stephen Ireland and Robert Pires will come under consideration for a recall to the starting line-up.
Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey has resumed training following a knee problem but it is too early for him to be considered against the Reds.
Houllier expects a warm reception from Liverpool fans but he regrets the two surviving players from his era on Merseyside - Gerrard and Carragher - will be ruled out through injury.
Houllier lifted half-a-dozen trophies during his six years in charge at Anfield and helped the club out of the doldrums before leaving in 2004.
His focus is on helping Villa to move away from the bottom of the table but he has happy memories of his time at the Reds.
Houllier said: "I know the fans will welcome me, I'm sure because we had a close relationship and we worked together because the fans are part of the team.
"I know they contributed to the success that we had.
"They will remember (the success) and the fans in Liverpool, when I went back for TV reasons, were always full of cheerful hospitality.
"It is a club I liked even before going there so, having spent six years there, and being together with some people, obviously you can't forget the club.
"I might feel something special when I get on the pitch just before the game.
"Before that, I will do my job and be focused on the team."

Match Report
Reds ruin Houllier's return Liverpool's stand-in strikers shrugged off the absence of Fernando Torres to secure a comfortable victory 3-0 over Aston Villa and make it an unhappy return to Anfield for former Reds manager Gerard Houllier. With Torres given the night off to be with his wife Olalla, who had gone into labour with their second child, David Ngog and Ryan Babel ensured he was not unduly missed with first-half goals. Maxi Rodriguez added the third in the 55th minute to make it four successive Barclays Premier League victories for Roy Hodgson's side at Anfield. In truth Villa, like previous visitors West Ham, posed little in the way of a threat but there were some encouraging performances from Liverpool all the same. Raul Meireles, having been given an extended run in the centre in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard, is starting to look like an #11million midfielder and was in the midst of most of the hosts good play. Ngog and Babel will also have gained plenty of confidence from their performances, although they will have to prove they can do it against better opposition than this if they are to have long-term futures at Anfield. Almost forgotten in all the attacking play was Jose Reina's clean sheet, his 100th in 198 league matches breaking by some considerable distance the previous record held by Reds great Ray Clemence - who took 217 games to reach the landmark. Houllier, who won five trophies in his six-year spell at Anfield - and four alone in 2001 - to cement his place in the club's history books was welcomed back by a club motif-emblazoned banner on the Kop which read Gerard's Heart Beats. It may have skipped a beat in only the third minute when Dirk Kuyt volleyed wide after Ngog's two headers from Meireles' right-wing free-kick were not cleared. Set-pieces were a weakness for Villa all night and they were undone by one in the 14th minute. Meireles' clipped delivery picked out Martin Skrtel who speared a header back across goal and the diving Ngog could not fail to nod in from barely three yards. It was the Frenchman's eighth goal of the campaign - although only his second in the league - and it took him past Gerrard as the club's leading scorer this season. Two minutes later Liverpool had doubled their lead with Babel justifying Hodgson's faith to select him up front. The Dutchman has consistently failed to impress since his #11.5million move from Ajax in 2007 but his goal was an example of the talent - which some would argue he has wasted - at his disposal. Playing on the shoulder of Stephen Warnock, Babel allowed Lucas Leiva's lofted ball to drop out to his right and he swivelled to smash a shot across Brad Friedel and inside the far post. Sotirios Kyrgiakos could have made it 3-0 in the 27th minute but planted wide his far-post header from Meireles' free-kick while Babel curled a first-time shot just wide of Friedel's left-hand post from the Portugal international's low cross. Villa had one chance to get back in the game just after half-time but Gabriel Agbonlahor's close-range shot from Stewart Downing's cross was half-saved by Reina and the ball cleared by Paul Konchesky. Moments later a counter-attack of brilliant simplicity finished them off. Reina collected and instantly rolled the ball 30 yards down the middle of the pitch to Rodriguez, who offloaded to Ngog out on the left and then perfectly timed his run to sidefoot home the return pass 40 yards further up the pitch. Having scored just one goal in his first five months after joining last January, Rodriguez now has three in his last seven matches. Only former Liverpool goalkeeper Friedel prevented a fourth, parrying away Johnson's shot after he had weaved his way into the area. Kyrgiakos' header from Meireles' corner was cleared off the line by Jonathan Hogg as Villa threatened to buckle completely. The Kop, as in years gone by, sang the names of Houllier and his assistant Gary McAllister but it was more out of sympathy than anything else. Hodgson, who has yet to win over the Anfield faithful, stood unmoved on the touchline safe in the knowledge three points were safe - which Houllier would testify is how all managers are ultimately judged.

Flop of the Night: Shane Battier
June, 4, 2012
Jim Davis/Getty Images
Shane Battier fought and flopped for every inch against Paul Pierce in Game 4.
HoopIdea wants to #StopTheFlop. To spotlight the biggest fakers, we present Flop of the Night. You can help us separate the pretenders from the defenders -- details below:
There were questionable calls aplenty in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, but this first quarter flop from Shane Battier (video) is special because it was Paul Pierce's first foul (he would later foul out of the game) and because Battier's flailing rescued a doomed possession for the Heat.
With the shot clock running down, Battier ranked ahead of only Joel Anthony in terms of players the Heat wanted creating a shot. But that's exactly what happened after the Celtics thwarted Miami's plan to feed Wade in the post.
It was a dream scenario for Boston: Battier trying to create off the dribble against Pierce, one of the Celtics' very best defenders.
Instead of actually trying to make a shot, though, Battier took off for the paint with dreams of free throws dancing in his head. At the first hint of contact -- and driving to the rim in the NBA, there's always contact -- Battier flails his arms, dives to the side and crashes to the ground.
Battier's ludicrous reaction exposes his true intent, which has nothing to do with actual basketball, and it worked. The referee's whistle bailed out the Heat.
BONUS FLOP: Mario Chalmers didn't get the call, but the audacity of this flop (video) deserves recognition. Note the incredible distance he travels on his back! And then note Jeff Van Gundy's disdain.
When you see an egregious flop that deserves proper recognition, send us a link to the video so we can consider it for Flop of the Night. Here's how to make your submission:
- Alert HoopIdea to super flops with the Twitter hashtag #FlopOfTheNight (follow us on Twitter here).

Figure 1. Cisco WAN Manager 16.0 GUI
Figure 2. Cisco WAN Manager 16.0 GUI
Key Features and Benefits
• Scalability: The distributed architecture of Cisco WAN Manager provides the ability to provision and manage a large number of network elements supporting millions of connections with high-performance network synchronization rates. More than 100 GUI clients can be supported with redundant Cisco WAN Manager servers, allowing service providers to cost-effectively manage their growing networks.
• High availability and reliability: Multiple Cisco WAN Manager servers can be used for disaster recovery and to take turns for any maintenance and upgrade activities. Cisco WAN Manager synchronizes with the network status changes to maintain an accurate view of the network inventory and connections.
• Open northbound interfaces: Cisco WAN Manager provides a northbound interface using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as an API for flow-through bulk provisioning and network monitoring, allowing easy integration with existing OSSs.
• Workflow-optimized GUI: Cisco WAN Manager 16.0 introduces an enhanced GUI designed to optimize daily operations for equipment and connection provisioning to accelerate time to revenue. The workflow-optimized GUI provides several powerful advantages:
– Consolidates network-monitoring tasks into a single GUI to provide alarm browsing and filtering capabilities.
– Offers the ability to invoke equipment diagnostics and connection tests from the configuration or network monitoring GUI using menu shortcuts.
– Maintains data context and provides drag-and-drop and template-based operations, minimizing operator time for data entry and object selection. The enhanced GUI design consists of Network Monitor, Configuration Center, Diagnostics Center, Chassis View, Statistics Reporting Tool, and Object Finder.
• Network Monitor: Details of network alarm and configuration status can be retrieved by a single click in the Network Monitor GUI. Alarm filtering can be enabled with a single click to view a specific class of alarms such as node, card, port, Cisco WAN Manager, critical, major, or minor. Network topology is automatically discovered for displaying the physical and logical configuration of the fixed and mobile Private Network-Network Interface (PNNI) network.
• Configuration Center: This builds on the powerful connection management application and the equipment-provisioning functions of earlier Cisco WAN Manager releases by providing intuitive drag-and-drop and template capabilities. Configuration Center provides capabilities to provision end-to-end ATM, Frame Relay, Frame Relay-to-ATM interworking, circuit emulation, voice, and low-speed data connections.
• Diagnostics Center: Diagnostics Center provides access to all diagnostic functions based on the context of the selected managed entity. It provides access to all the available real-time statistics and test tools in one place, easing the task of diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Chassis View: This allows status monitoring of the equipment to be performed within seconds. Chassis View has up-to-date graphical displays of the front and back panels of the individual node. The alarm LED status for the service modules and physical ports are updated automatically to reflect the current node alarm status.
• Statistics Reporting Tool: All historical statistics collected by Cisco WAN Manager Statistics Collection Manager in the database can be retrieved into a report format for trend analysis. Using this tool, an operator can systematically select a report type such as port level, line level, or connection level, and a time period for the report to span. The result can be exported into a file for further use in other applications.
• Object Finder: Object Finder provides extensive searching, sorting, and filtering functions to query the managed entities and alarm history in the embedded database.
• Performance and accounting management: Cisco WAN Manager Statistics Collector/Manager (SCM) collects network statistics that are useful for applications such as performance reporting, capacity planning, and billing. For large-scale networks, the statistics collection tasks can be distributed and offloaded to multiple Standalone Statistics Collector (SSC) servers and remotely controlled by SCM. To enhance reliability for statistics collection, each SSC can act as a backup for another SSC server.
• System administration: Cisco WAN Manager supports software upgrades by loading new software from a Cisco WAN Manager workstation. Background loading of new software allows simultaneous upgrades to multiple devices. Configuration save-and-restore features save a snapshot of the entire network configuration. For network disaster recovery, operators can selectively restore configurations for a single node or the entire network.
• Security management: Cisco WAN Manager provides GUI-based security access profiles. These profiles are created by administrative users in Cisco WAN Manager and contain access privileges for logical subnetworks and for each of the management functions such as network monitoring, connection management, and performance reporting. Cisco WAN Manager logs read and write operations of all GUI users in a security log file and provides a powerful administrative GUI for viewing and filtering the audit log records.
• AutoRoute to PNNI network migration: Cisco WAN Manager connection management in the Configuration Center can provision and manage ATM and Frame Relay connections across Cisco BPX 8600 Series AutoRoute networks and Cisco MGX 8000 Series PNNI networks. This helps enable service providers to use their existing Cisco BPX 8600 Series switches together with PNNI-controlled Cisco MGX 8850 PXM-45 systems for service expansion. Furthermore, Cisco WAN Manager can provision connections with Cisco IGX endpoints when the Cisco IGX switch is used as a feeder to a Cisco MGX PXM-45 or Cisco MGX PXM-1E node. This allows network operators to add PNNI-based Cisco MGX switches to the Cisco IGX network for network expansion.

BAR third driver sets the early practice pace
Considering how long the lap is at Spa, the times from this mornings opening practice session in Belgium are incredibly close.
Anthony Davidson staked his claim to Jenson Buttons BAR seat by setting the best time of 1m 45.104s, seeing off the Ferraris of Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. The champion lapped in 1m 45.408s, but two subsequent efforts failed to improve and he aborted a third at the end. Barrichello was close behind, with 1m 45.605s. All of them comfortably eclipsed Schumachers 1m 47.176s lap record, but his 2002 pole time of 1m 43.726s remained intact, for the time being.
It was also a very promising morning for Jaguar, with all three of the green racers in the top 10. Bjorn Wirdheim was fourth with 1m 46.658s, Mark Webber seventh on 1m 46.782s and Christian Klien eighth on 1m 46.809s. Mixed in between them were Kimi Raikkonen, who lapped his McLaren in 1m 46.674s in only one run, after going out very late, and Fernando Alonso, who took his Renault round in 1m 46.679s.
Antonio Pizzonia was ninth for Williams in 1m 47.083s, and the top 10 was completed by the impressive Ryan Briscoe, who did a beautiful job of steering his Toyota to 1m 47.506s. This edged out Button, who did little running and seemed set to beat Schumachers fastest time at one stage before a small indiscretion lost him time in sector two. He lapped in 1m 47.511s, which left him ahead of early pacesetter Juan Pablo Montoya who was set to improve on his 1m 47.560s best before aborting his final lap as the chequered flag came out.
Takuma Sato literally went out with just over five minutes left, to lap in 1m 47.618s for 13th time ahead of Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 47.648s) and David Coulthard (1m 47.650s). Felipe Massa was 16th on 1m 47.765s, with Jarno Trulli completing the runners below 1m 48s with 1m 47.829s.
Ricardo Zonta and Olivier Panis lapped their Toyotas in 1m 48.642s and 1m 48.834s respectively for 18th and 19th places, and the remaining six drivers were separated by eight-tenths of a second. Giorgio Pantano attacked Spa with gusto to lap his Jordan in 1m 50.165s for 20th, ahead of local boy Bas Leinders who showed a clean pair of heels to Minardi team mates Gianmaria Bruni and Zsolt Baumgartner. The Flemish driver lapped in 1m 50.311s, the Italian in 1m 50.531s, and the Hungarian in 1m 50.950s. Timo Glock was 22nd on 1m 50.317s in his Jordan, with an unhappy Nick Heidfeld 24th on 1m 50.805s.
The sole incident occurred when Pantano spun his Jordan at La Source and had to push it away to the old pit exit, but Alonso and Schumacher got the entry to the new Bus Stop chicane wrong.
The times will doubtless plummet if the thus-far clement weather continues. It seems as if it will as the sky, though overcast, looks settled, but nonetheless it was an interesting session with some unusual faces in unfamiliar places.

Top 10 tips for onboarding salespeople
Onboard well, and they'll be seeking you out
Merit GestBusiness owners and CEOs of companies generating $3 million to $50 million in annual revenue were recently asked, "What is the most frustrating position to hire for within their company?" The answer: salespeople.
Most managers have paid their dues and worked their tails off, clawing their way up the corporate ladder. However, most managers were not brought on to their company with a solid, structured, onboarding program. Most managers don't know how to build a successful onboarding program to make a newly hired salesperson's journey easier.
Here are 10 tips to successfully onboard new salespeople:
- Give sound bites Don't put your new salespeople in the position of having to figure things out. Give a written, audio and video version, so they can get to work.
- Teach your products and services Do your new salespeople need to use them, and can they learn how youbuild them?
- Create structured conversations Supply a list of questions to assist them in creating conversations, when they are getting to know people and different departments.
- Test their learning Keep in mind that the goal is that your salespeople have a working knowledge they can draw on with faced with different scenarios.
- Understand your salesperson's strengths Under pressure we revert to our most natural ways of being. If you know your salesperson's strengths, you can utilize them to teach new skills.
- Reward behaviors and actions It is too late to reward the results. Reward the behaviors that lead to the results, and you will get more results faster and more consistently.
- First teach the 'must have's' Keep it simple. Your salesperson is eager to prove themselves to you and their coworkers, and to themselves. They want to validate that it was a good move for you to hire them; and that it was a good move for them to take the job.
- Set realistic expectations Give them a tangible and realistic goal "By the end of your first month you should be able to accurately input a customer request, demonstrate mastery executing each step, and clearly articulate your value proposition." "You should also have a list of 500 potential prospects in your territory."
- Identify a 'company culture mentor' Take responsibility and assign someone to teach them the culture of your company.
- Ask for their feedback If you are not constantly improving based on what you are learning, you are missing the boat.
Though the focus of this article is onboarding salespeople, the reality is that in today's competitive landscape, companies need a professional onboarding strategy for every role in the organization.
Creating a structured onboarding program that orients a new sales hire so they can ramp up quickly and achieve success in the first 90-days gives you a solid HR solution that you will use forever. It is always easier to edit an onboarding strategy than to start one from scratch.
Once you know how to orient a new hire, you have more freedom to constantly be on the hunt for top-performing salespeople. When word gets out that you have a well-structured orientation and onboarding program, the top-performers will be on the hunt for you.

Wrong: We have LESS than 3 gallons remaining. Right: We have FEWER than 3 gallons remaining.
We bought a dozen cupcakes for the party. I just ate one, so now there are fewer cupcakes.
We bought a big cake for the party. I just ate a slice, so now there is less cake.
I have bought some milk. I only had enough money to buy two bottles, so we have fewer than three gallons.Why anyone would feel the need to point that out, I don't know. But if you were referring to the presence or absence of a number of gallon-sized units of a particular liquid, there is a case where you could conceivably use the word "fewer" in referring to them.
"How many gallon-sized bottles of milk am I holding up?""Four?""No, fewer."

At the Sounding Edge: Using QSynth and QJackCtl
QSynth and QJackCtl are essential components of my Linux sound studio, and I certainly can't imagine working in X without them. Yes, you can do everything with their host applications at the command prompt. But, these helpful GUIs make the work much easier, which means I get to make music with less hassle in configuring the gear.
These applications are easy to learn and use, and they serve their humble purposes simply and directly, so there's not much to criticize in QSynth or QJackCtl. I'd like to see MIDI activity indicators in QJackCtl, perhaps in the MIDI connections tab, but that's hardly a pressing need.
So how does this little studio sound ? Check out the demos and let me know what you think. Personally, I'm impressed by the power now available to Linux musicians. I hope this article has revealed some of that power to you.
The author wishes to thank Peter Hanappe and all the other developers of fluidsynth for that marvelous software. Vast thanks also to Paul Davis and all JACK developers for one of the finest achievements in open-source audio software. And of course, great thanks to Rui Nuno Capela for his work on QSynth and QJackCtl.

Latency w. Delta 66 and Fluidsynth?
What kind of latency do you get from the Delta+Fluidsynth combo? I have a MIDI instrument (Akai EWI 4000s) and I'd like to send MIDI from the EWI to the computer and have it render the sounds. But with my current, (and crappy) onboard soundcard, the latency is simply terrible. I'd like a MIDI-in => audio-out latency of something < 10ms; is that feasible at all?
akai 4000s
I've been trying to edit the patches on my EWI 4000s from my Debian box with no success. I successfully got the Uniquest software installed under Wine, but can't seem to get it to find the EWI. I configured it with OSS drivers to my emu10k (SB Live) card, but no luck. Any pointers? Thanks!

My Uniquest software can't find my ewi too.
Do you know how to solve this?

Thank you, I didn't realize that's what the Offset label meant.
I'm still learning something new everyday... :)
Dave Phillips
Author's addenda
Two additions:
To select a new synth engine in QSynth click anywhere in the bottom strip of the GUI. You don't have to click on just the qsynth1 tab (see Figure 4).
The Options dialog also includes a selector for a very handy VU meter (not shown in the screenshots, sorry about that). The meter indicates the sum of amplitudes from each engine, making a handy tool for avoiding clipping (i.e. amplitude distortion).
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This experience happened last month, and i've been itching to get it off my chest, but i obviously wasen't going to tell someone i know in person.This happened over summer break.
I've been wearing womens clothing ever since i got my new house, when we moved in, i quickly realized that the long hallways and slick hard-wood floors were fun to slide on. I was running up and down the hall, sliding down for like 30 minutes when i got the idea to slide down on my butt/legs. Sliding in basketball shorts, and ankle socks wasent cutting it. I went to my sister and asked if she had anything for me to wear so i would be able to slide down on my butt/legs. She told me that tights, pantyhose, leggings, or yoga pants would work, and told me to pick out whatever fit best. I took a pair of pantyhose, just because they looked quite sexy in my humble opinion. About an hour later, i got bored of running around the house, and returned the pantyhose to my sister.
A few years later, i couldn't help but remember how good the pantyhose felt on my legs. I figured that if they felt good, wouldn't all girls clothes be more comfortable than boys? I snuck in to victorias room and looked in her drawer, her clothes were so sexy. Being 17 she wore much sexier clothing than girls my age did. I am only 14 but i pay alot of attention to what girls wear. I quietly went back to my room, making sure i didn't get caught.
I waited until that night, around 1:30 am, and went to the laundry room, having to pass my mother, and my sisters room i was nervous i would wake someone up, but i didnt. I looked around, and found my sisters clothes in the dryer. I didn't know what to wear, i had never done this before. I grabbed a lacie thong from victoriassecret and a black very sexy push-up bra. I went back to my room, undressed, and put on the panties, and bra. I crawled into bed, and went to sleep. I figured since it was summer, noone would wake me, and i could put the panties and bra back, i was wrong.
My sister came in the next morning, asking me if she had seen, exactly what i was wearing, under the blanket, only feet from her. I told her no, but she insisted that i help her look. I told her i would be up in a few minutes, but she ripped the cover off, and saw me wearing the thong, and push-up bra. My heart sank, and an evil grin came over her face.
She closed the door, and locked it. She walked back over to the bed, crawled in beside me, and pulled the cover back up. She ******** down to her panties and i started feeling her breasts. I pulled her panties off, and she took my bra off. i removed my panties, revealing my small penis.
She got me harder than i have ever been, and we ******. My mother walked in and caught us, and joined in. We ended up having a 3-some before my mother called some men she knew, they came over, and my mother and sister dressed me as a women, and they gang-banged me. I loved it, and now i dress up as a girl all the time.
It was believable until the last two paragraphs
****** fake
Lets check your dipstick here, yep, full of ****. This is sooooooo over the top it doesn't even make good fantasy.
my sister caught me and took pics and made me suck her bf
did she ever show the pics?
You are one lucky lady
totally fake
It seemed legit until that last part. Fake.
HI U need to add some detail , also make it have what novelists call "continuity of
story" (at least that is what editors call it IE "your sister closed and locked the door"
and then two lines later "my mother walked in", .......thru a locked door .
What is this fake crap
Um i'm pretty damn sure your mom and sister would't **** you
most fake story i have ever read on this site
or at least just the last part
id like a more truthfull story? but bieng ****** by sister and mum :3 my god #Imbred

Tesco brings festive cheer to local children
Children staying at the Temporary Accommodation Service in Mansfield have received an early festive surprise this Christmas thanks to Santa, and a little help from Tesco.
The store on Chesterfield Road wanted to show support for the residents in the Accommodation, which is a service provided by Mansfield District Council and temporarily houses people who are homeless, by making their Christmas party, on Friday 19th December, extra special.
Prior to the party 32 children, from toddlers to teenagers, were asked to write a Christmas list to Santa, and thanks to Tesco's home delivery service, Santa was able to arrive in time for the party to deliver gifts to all of the children.
Councillor Heather Henshaw, Portfolio Holder for Housing at Mansfield District Council, commented: "All children love Christmas but for children staying in temporary accommodation during the festive season, it can be a traumatic time. I would like to send my thanks to Tesco for ensuring that these children will receive a visit from Santa and a party they can remember this Christmastime."
Paula Easom, manager of the Temporary Accommodation Service said: "The children were really excited about Santa's early stop off and even more so when they received the gift they had asked for. It was great to see all the children, parents and staff come together at the party and be able to celebrate the Christmas period."
The supermarket made sure the party was a success by supplying a dazzling Christmas tree, decorations and most importantly at all Christmas parties, a festive feast.
Tony Fletcher, Tesco corporate affairs manager added: "We really wanted to spread some festive cheer amongst the community this Christmas, especially as the current climate is making life more difficult to be able spend on our friends and family. Everyone at the store was eager to join in; we even had to hold 'X-factor' style auditions to find our perfect Santa."
