ATLANTA, GA (Catholic Online) - The religious and secular media exhaustively covered the story of German Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst from Limburg, who was disparagingly referred to as the "Bishop of Bling."
The matter has been properly handled by Church authority and the Bishop is under pastoral care.
Sadly, the behavior of that one Bishop seems to have added fuel to a story in the United States concerning Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory. Though I have never met the Archbishop of Atlanta, I have long admired his love for the Lord, his pastoral care of his clergy and his humility.
The reports I have heard, from many of his clergy, as well as members of the lay faithful in that booming Catholic Center for the New Evangelization, have all been stellar. He is said to be a good teacher and a man of godly character and holiness of life. That is why when I saw the reports concerning the building of that new residence for this Bishop I was surprised.
I am a lawyer by training. So, I look to the facts. Upon further examination, the factual difference between the two stories is huge. However, I will not go into the facts, because this Bishop has taken what could have been a wound to the Church and turned it into an occasion of grace.
The good news out of Atlanta is the way this good Bishop responded to the public outcry. He apologized and took immediate action. His humility, integrity and prompt action have now turned the entire story around.
My readers know I have a pet peeve, the haranguing of Catholic Bishops on cranky corners of the Catholic blogosphere and in some Catholic media circles. I refer to it collectively as the Catholic circular firing squad. I think it impedes our mission, often results in sins against charity and fails to honor our obligation in solidarity to one another.
One of my antidotes to the malady is to call attention to the courageous Bishops standing firm in the ancient but ever new Catholic Christian faith. These men are unafraid of engaging the collapsing culture in which we live with the liberating Good News of the Gospel.
In my ecumenical work at the intersection of faith and culture, I am increasingly reminded by Christian friends in other faith communities of the impact of many of our Bishops upon them. I wish some cranky Catholic commentators could hear what I hear and stop their sniping.
The Archbishop of Atlanta is leading a Diocese which exhibits the good fruit which comes from the leadership of a good Bishop. He made a decision which, though well intended, required his apology and proper remedial actions. How refreshing it was to witness his sincere, heartfelt and humble response.
Here is his own written response, from the news service of the Archdiocese. The Bishop used one of the responses he received as an opportunity to do what a Christian leader should do. It can be found in the Georgia Bulletin.
The Archbishop Responds
We are disturbed and disappointed to see our church leaders not setting the example of a simple life as Pope Francis calls for. How can we instill this in our children when they see their archdiocesan leadership living extravagantly? We ask you to rethink these decisions and understand the role model the clergy must serve so the youth of our society can answer Jesus' call. Neither our 18- or 14-year-old sons understand the message you are portraying.
So went just one of many of the heartfelt, genuine and candidly rebuking letters, emails and telephone messages I have received in the past week from people of faith throughout our own Archdiocese and beyond. Their passionate indictments of me as a Bishop of the Catholic Church and as an example to them and their children are stinging and sincere. And I should have seen them coming.
Please understand that I had no desire to move; however, the Cathedral Parish has a problem, albeit a happy one. The Cathedral of Christ the King is one of our largest, most vibrant and fastest growing parishes-but it is landlocked. The site of the current rectory could be used for expansion if the priests could be moved to a new rectory nearby. Because of the proximity of the Archbishop's house to the Cathedral and the way it is configured with separate apartments and common space, the rector of Christ the King one day summoned the courage to ask me if I would give some thought to letting the parish purchase the residence from the Archdiocese to repurpose it for its rectory. It made more sense for them to be in walking distance to the Cathedral than I, so I said yes, knowing full well that literally left the Archbishop without a place to live.
Soon thereafter, the Archdiocese and the Cathedral Parish received a generous bequest from Joseph Mitchell, including his home on Habersham Road, to benefit the whole Archdiocese, but especially his beloved parish, the Cathedral of Christ the King. Through the extraordinary kindness of Joseph Mitchell, we had a perfect piece of property nearby on which to relocate the Archbishop's residence.
Some have suggested that it would have been appropriate for the Cathedral Parish to build a rectory on the Habersham property and have the priests each drive back and forth, and in retrospect that might be true. At the time, though, I thought that not giving up the Archbishop's residence, which was so close to the Cathedral Parish, would have been perceived as selfish and arrogant by the people at the Cathedral Parish and might damage my relationship with them!
So I agreed to sell the West Wesley residence to the Cathedral Parish and set about looking for a different place for me and my successors to live. That's when, to say the least, I took my eye off the ball. The plan seemed very simple. We will build here what we had there-separate living quarters and common spaces, a large kitchen for catering, and lots of room for receptions and other gatherings.
What we didn't stop to consider, and that oversight rests with me and me alone, was that the world and the Church have changed.
Even before the phenomenon we have come to know as Pope Francis was elected to the Chair of Peter, we Bishops of the Church were reminded by our own failings and frailty that we are called to live more simply, more humbly, and more like Jesus Christ who challenges us to be in the world and not of the world. The example of the Holy Father, and the way people of every sector of our society have responded to his message of gentle joy and compassion without pretense, has set the bar for every Catholic and even for many who don't share our communion.
As the Shepherd of this local Church, a responsibility I hold more dear than any other, certainly more than any configuration of brick and mortar, I am disappointed that, while my advisors and I were able to justify this project fiscally, logistically and practically, I personally failed to project the cost in terms of my own integrity and pastoral credibility with the people of God of north and central Georgia.
I failed to consider the impact on the families throughout the Archdiocese who, though struggling to pay their mortgages, utilities, tuition and other bills, faithfully respond year after year to my pleas to assist with funding our ministries and services.
I failed to consider the difficult position in which I placed my auxiliary bishops, priests, deacons and staff who have to try to respond to inquiries from the faithful about recent media reports when they might not be sure what to believe themselves.
I failed to consider the example I was setting for the young sons of the mother who sent the email message with which I began this column.
To all of you, I apologize sincerely and from my heart.
We teach that stewardship is half about what you give away, and half about how you use what you choose to keep. I believe that to be true. Our intention was to recreate the residence I left behind, yet I know there are situations across the country where local Ordinaries have abandoned their large homes, some because of financial necessity and others by choice, and they continue to find ways to interact with the families in their pastoral care without the perception, real or imagined, of lavish lifestyles.
So where do we go from here?
It is my intention to move deliberately forward and to do a better job of listening than I did before. When I thought this was simply a matter of picking up and moving from one house to a comparable one two miles away, we covered every angle from the fiscal and logistical perspectives, but I overlooked the pastoral implications. I fear that when I should have been consulting, I was really only reporting, and that is my failure. To those who may have hesitated to advise me against this direction perhaps out of deference or other concerns, I am profoundly sorry.
There are structures already in place in the Archdiocese from which I am able to access the collective wisdom of our laity and our clergy. In April I will meet with the Archdiocesan Council of Priests, and in early May our Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (a multi-cultural group of Catholics of all ages, representing parishes of all sizes, who serve as a consultative body to me) will convene. I will ask for the Finance Council of the Archdiocese to schedule an extraordinary meeting. At each of these meetings I will seek their candid guidance on how best to proceed.
If it is the will of these trusted representative groups, the Archdiocese will begin the process of selling the Habersham residence. I would look to purchase or rent something appropriate elsewhere.
It has been my great privilege and honor to be your Archbishop for the past nine years. I promise you that my service to you is the reason I get up each day-not the house in which I live or the zip code to which my mail is sent. I would never jeopardize the cherished and personal relationships I have built with so many of you over something that personally means so little after all.
I humbly and contritely ask your prayers for me, and I assure you, as always, of mine for you.
Now, allow me to share a few reflections as I conclude.
The quick attempt by some in the media to categorize this matter and this good Bishop by trying to squeeze this story into the template of the so called "Bishop of Bling" was inappropriate.
It was especially inappropriate for the Catholic media.In particular, some on the blogosphere and on Catholic aggregation sites. What happened to presuming the best about all people, especially our brethren in the Church?
The Archbishop made an error in judgment, a mistake. We all have. We are also all invited into a life of continual conversion - and we all fall short. When we do, it is how we respond to that wrong judgment which reveals who we are and who we are becoming. His actions show humility, integrity and accountability.
In addition, The Archbishop is not only our brother; he is our father in the Lord. We should presume his good intentions and protect his reputation, especially in our reporting. The quick rush to this comparison by some in the Catholic media presents a moment for review.
We are called to follow the admonitions contained in our shared Catechism, particularly in our relationships with one another. For example, following the clear direction contained in the following paragraphs of the Catechism, found within "Life in Christ" and entitled "Offenses against Truth":
Christ's disciples have "put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. By "putting away falsehood," they are to "put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.(#2475)
Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury. He becomes guilty: - of rash judgment who, even tacitly, assumes as true, without sufficient foundation, the moral fault of a neighbor; - of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them; - of calumny who, by remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.(#2477)
Detraction and calumny destroy the reputation and honor of one's neighbor. Honor is the social witness given to human dignity, and everyone enjoys a natural right to the honor of his name and reputation and to respect. Thus, detraction and calumny offend against the virtues of justice and charity. (#2479)

Hike 2: Konahuanui 2 to Mt. Olympus (Awa'awaloa) via the Ko'olau Summit Trail (KST). Dec 31 - Jan 1, 2010/11 (overnight).
Konahuanui consists of the two highest peaks on the Ko'olau range. This hike starts on the Kalawahine trail, meanders through the rooty bamboo forest in Pauoa Flats to Nu'uanu lookout, then gains steep elevation to the summit at about 3100ft. It was muddy and slick all the way up. The summit was socked in clouds with no views of the Windward coast, nor of Maunawili Valley down the sheer fluted "Pali" (cliff) below ... which is not unusual here at any time of the year.
My plan was to hike up to K2, proceed left to the slightly higher K1 peak, then back past K2 to traverse 1.6 mi. along the spine on the Ko'olau Summit Trail (KST). I would overnight atop Mt. Olympus before proceeding 5 mi. further along the KST to Pu'u o Kona on New Years Day.
All did not go as planned however ... given the prior weeks rainfall, as well as conditions prevalent during my hike. What follows is a testament to the brutal ordeal I went through, yet video footage doesn't do justice. It was both physically and mentally exhausting ... and I can honestly say that I cheated death at least once.
Having reached the summit of K2 I decided that it wasn't worth the side-trek up to K1 since the summit was socked and time was a factor (daylight diminishes quickly after 6pm here ... esp. when socked in clouds). Amidst shitty weather and other variables I nevertheless decided to forge ahead in hopes of some clear skies ... lol !
As for the summit crossover .. had it been ideal weather then I'm sure this section would have been much less arduous. There were sections where I chose to negotiate along the contour of the crumbly rock dikes instead of ontop, as my shoes were too packed with mud between cleats ... and I made a choice to maneouver along the leeward slope (on my right) at times where the drop-off was less pronounced, yet still sizeable. I was lucky to break a fall thanks to vegetation on the leeward side (cam was on). Slipping off the boulder section down the sheer wall of the windward face (on my left) however would have meant certain death. On certain sections I had no choice but to skirt along the slope of the windward wall and hold on to the vegetation ... and not only was the "trail" slick here ... it was inclined along the face. It did not help either given that I had a backpack.
Spending New Years Eve atop the summit of Mt. Olympus was a treat though ... amidst the scattered showers and cool trades I could see and hear the distant rumbling of fireworks all around me lighting up the clouds and adjacent peaks. As I peeked out of my tent at 5am I was awestruck by the celestial display above me ... or was it the Jagermeister ?
The next morning as I proceeded further along the KST toward Pu'u o Kona the weather degraded rapidly. I terminated the hike due to nuking wind gusts that hindered my balance, and headed back up to Mt. Olympus to bail out down Wa'ahila Ridge. I did successfully continue the hike 7 months later ... vimeo.com/86412571.
Note: hiking along the Ko'olau spine is not recommended for inexperienced / novice hikers ... weather can change drastically, it's usually very muddy, slick, very windy, and you can lose your balance and go over the side if you don't know what you're doing. Read more in Section 1 (Ko'olau Summit Trail) of the following article ... examiner.com/article/oahu-s-gnarliest-trails.

Music from "Sacred Dub" podcast # 43.
If you're a non-resident / first time visitor or novice hiker, start with the easy - intermediate (maintained) trails and graduate yourself on subsequent visits. Do yourself a favour and purchase Stewart Ball's "Hiker's Guide to Oahu" ... it's your best and most valuable resource. Do your homework and study topo maps, weather forecasts / radar / sunset times. There are numerous blogs and media posted frequently by local experienced Oahu hikers (these folks are super-friendly and will give you directions and advice). Wear proper gear and don't forget lot's of water and a fully charged cell. If hiking alone or with others, tell someone where you're hiking and keep in touch. Above all there's no shame in turning back if you don't like what you see ... better to stay alive and continue on a subsequent visit. You are solely responsible for your own safety and the risks you take . Hikers, including locals have gotten lost, suffered serious injury and even died while hiking these trails, so be careful. Mind your insurance coverage limitations as well.
Last but not least ... RESPECT THE LAND! Stay on the trails, don't litter (in fact if you come across any and are able ... take it out with you). Do not unneccessarily disturb the flora, understand and respect historical / cultural ethics.

Sleep Like a Baby
Birth to 2 months: Anything Goes
Daily hours of sleep: 10 to 18
Getty Images
"Most newborns are asleep for three to four hours and then awake for one to two hours," says Judith Owens, M.D., director of Sleep Medicine at Children's National Medical Center, in Washington, D.C., and coauthor of Take Charge of Your Child's Sleep. "We don't know exactly why they need so much rest, but we suspect it's because sleep plays an instrumental role in early brain development."
Newborns lack a circadian rhythm, so their sleep is evenly divided throughout a 24-hour day. They can nod off any time, anywhere, even when the TV is blaring and the dog is barking. Some babies fall asleep when they're tired and wake up when they're hungry. Others sleep all day and stay up most of the night. If you've found that your little one is in the latter category, take heart: Your baby will probably outgrow this day-night confusion at around 6 weeks of age, when melatonin production begins and contributes to the development of a biological clock.
If your baby has her days and nights mixed up, expose her to bright light during the day so she starts to connect sunshine with being awake and alert, advises pediatric sleep specialist Jodi Mindell, Ph.D., author of Sleeping Through the Night. Also, keep the shades open in the daytime (except when she's napping); wake her for feedings so she doesn't catch too many zzz's; and take her outside for a walk to stimulate her and expose her to natural light. At night, aim to put her down between 7 P.M. and 8 P.M. (this is a good bedtime for the first two years, so you might as well get in the habit). If you need to go into her room for a feeding or diaper change, keep lights dim, and try not to talk to her too much. You'll help her associate darkness with sleeping.

"Beautiful Positano." Top 5 Page for this destination Positano by K.Knight
Positano Travel Guide: 305 reviews and 634 photos
Described as a "dream place" by the writer John Steinbeck, the white houses and low roofs of Positano slope down to a busy and colorful fishing port. We visited in October (the fall) and the town seemed to very laid back yet it had a magnificent "instant atmosphere" of fun, peace and well being.
The charm and relaxed atmosphere of the entire Amalfi coast from Sorrento and Positano to the township of Amalfi was captured by the numerous fresh produce stalls that line the narrow cliff hugging roads. We stopped at a few of these stalls and purchased refreshing frozen lemon drinks along with fresh fruit including the magnificent Italian grapes.
BE WARNED THOUGH.......The owners of these stalls become VERY angry and sometimes ABUSIVE if you simply stop and take a photograph BEFORE purchasing from them! Even though Anne is pictured here selecting items for lunch the owner became very animated while I was attempting a photograph.
The Amalfi Drive follows limestone cliffs along the Bay of Salerno in a spectacular feat of engineering that rivals roads to be found in the Alps. From Salerno to Sorrento, this panoramic drive encompasses both sun-drenched precipices and glittering sea. But be careful, busses have right of way, the locals drive like idiots and if you have a driving misfortune you may end up in the glittering sea!
- In a nutshell:Half the fun is getting here! A corner of paradise.

My import all products was working fine, now it just doesn't update any of the products. It slows down the browser so much i can't do anything in the admin either when before I could. the dataflow_batch_import has everything in there and it will say that it gets to the end of the file eventually but none of the stuff in the database is updated. I was importing images and did about 5k and have like 170 left to do and its not doing anything its not even moving the images into the directories.

No. 6: Data Center Manager
When it comes to data center managers, 100 percent of respondents said that a high level of intelligence was required for their position. According to the report, high intelligence is common among those in positions that require a person to wear many hats and has high-stress demands, and data center managers certainly fit the bill. Among survey respondents, data center managers ranked in the top three for "dependencies/multitasking," top four for "availability" and top five for "quick response." Working at a fast pace, managing budgets, troubleshooting, maintaining hardware and dealing with confidential information all fell under the purview of data center managers, according to the report.
And, data center managers agreed that they don't have control over their own schedule, scoring 30 percent higher than the average in that department, with 70 percent of data center managers saying they don't own their schedule in comparison to an average 45 percent of all surveyed.

Birth Cert Question

#1Posted 21 August 2007 - 05:33 PM
When my DD was born, (2002) she was given the normal birth cert (Which is rolled up in one of those silver things for birth certs) and a decorative one. I had the decorative one laminated and I have used that whenever a birth cert is needed (School enrollments, Medicare card, Centrelink etc)
Now I have just taken time out of work to go pick M up from after school care, line up and get our passport applications processed - they have said they cant use this one as its not a proper birth cert? Is this info correct?? I have the silver thing in storage and Im hoping like hell I can find it as we need to have the passports organised this week, to allow for timing for the trip we have planned (November) So yeah - I want to know if it is an official document? Can it be used? Cheers #2Posted 21 August 2007 - 05:37 PM
I was led to believe that the decorative one is just for decoration and not cannot be used for official purposes.
#3Posted 21 August 2007 - 05:42 PM
That's what I thought too (decorative=decoration and "normal"=legal document). I have DD and DS's decorative ones framed and hanging in their bedrooms and their normal ones filed with DH's and my normal ones.
#4Posted 21 August 2007 - 05:54 PM
Yup thats what I thought too, decorative just being that.
Our marriage certificate was the same, we were orignally only given the decorative one and ended up having to go and get the offical certificate when someone (cant remember who) refused to accept the dec. one. Amanda #5Posted 21 August 2007 - 06:57 PM
Bummer - my bad - I thought it was a legal document Does anyone know if she has to be there with me?? Bearing in mind the girl that does the applications saw her today for half an hour while she processed mine and DP's and I know her quite well as I go to the post office everyday.
Thanks #6Posted 21 August 2007 - 07:04 PM
It does say in the passport application form that the decorative birth certificates are not permitted.
I didn't take my children with me when I had my interview and there was no problem as I was the signatory on their applications. #7Posted 21 August 2007 - 07:29 PM
I'm surprised you've been allowed to use it for Centrelink etc, we've always been told we need the "real" one, you need the real one to set up bank accounts too.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011 More items for Program/Project Management
Subcontractors in Colorado and Alabama have scored new bipartisan victories in the industry's growing push to minimize or eliminate the loathed practice of retainage.
The American Subcontractors Association has been leading the charge against retainage and other subcontractor payment policies for years, with changes coming slowly but steadily. In 2007, New Mexico became the first state to ban retainage on most public and private projects; since then, retainage reform has also notched legislative gains in Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee, among other states.
Retainage is the practice of withholding funds from contractors until a certain date or contingency, such as completion of the job. Primary contractors say that holdbacks give necessary leverage to ensure proper completion of the work; subcontractors say the practice is abused to slow or withhold payments without cause.
Colorado Subs Mark Victory
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has signed legislation (H.B. 11-1115) that will speed the payment of millions of dollars owed to contractors and subcontractors on state and local government construction projects.
When the law takes effect Aug. 10, public owners will be required to limit retainage to a maximum of 5 percent, instead of 10 percent. That represents up to an extra 5 percent that subcontractors will receive from primes under Colorado's "prompt pay" statute, which requires prime contractors to pay within seven days "any amounts actually received" from the public owners for the subcontractors' work.
The new law "begins the process of payment reform" for Colorado construction, said Debra L. Miller, executive director of ASA-Colorado.
However, ASA notes the law also allows public owners to routinely hold retainage on invoices for work completed beyond the midway point of the project.
On the other hand, Colorado legislators earlier passed a law requiring public works contracts to include a clause prohibiting issuance of a change order unless the public owner gives the prime contractor written assurance that lawful appropriations exist to cover the costs of the change order.
Alabama Limits Withholding
On June 9, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, a Republican. signed S.B. 437, which limits to 10 percent the amount of retainage contractors can hold from subcontractors on private construction projects. Previously, there was no retainage limit on private construction projects in the state.
The measure, initiated by ASA of Alabama, reduces the rate of retainage held to zero after 50 percent of the project is completed. If a contractor holds excessive retainage on its subcontractors, the contractor must pay interest penalties of 1 percent per month.
The law also establishes a time frame for paying retainage on private projects, requiring the owner to "release and pay retainage" to the contractor within 60 days of completing work as defined by the contract, or within 60 days after "substantial completion" of the project—whichever comes first.
Payment of retainage to subcontractors is subject to the same payment terms. Earlier in the legislative session, legislators passed S.B. 59, which reduces Alabama's so-called "statute of repose" for architects, engineers and contractors from 13 years to seven years, limiting the time frame in which a person can assert a claim in court over work performed. Both laws take effect Sept. 1.

Last week, a cover appeared on Time magazine that rocked the parenting world, the body image blogosphere, and my Facebook feed (I am a breastfeeding mother with many parents in my social circle).

Wait until the prime and alt-A party starts. If you think the economy is out of the woods, you are dreaming. 30 years of Reaganomics is about to come crashing down all around us. I watch real estate in various major metro areas, Boston, San Fran, San Diego, NYC, etc. Real estate prices on upper middle class dumps has barely budged lower, maybe 5-10% max. If you're a yuppie such as myself and you're thinking of buying anything, stocks, real estate, etc. fuggheabouit. The pain has not even started to hit mid to upper middle class America yet, but it's about to: http://mrmortgage.ml-implode.com/
I just watched Mr Mortgage's video and it appears you're right. We have barely begun the foreclosure cycle and there will be thousands of middle priced homes foreclosed upon. Much of it is due to people sucking all the equity out of their homes through refinancing foolishly. The fed won't be able to bail all this out and to that I say THANK GOD! We desperately need housing to bottom out completely and naturally. Only then can we begin to re-build the housing market upon solid business models and REAL values. I can't believe how much bigger the Alt1 mortgage crisis that is pending will be compared to the sub-prime crisis that is now peaking. Hide your cash and install bars on your windows folks.
It is scary and getting no headlines as of yet, just like subprime was 2 years ago. This one is going to hit middle and upper middle class, professional america right in the kisser. There isn't enough money in the world to stave this off like the FED did with this subprime mess.
ONe of the strange phenominons I've seen over the past year is that the general public acts like real estate people in that they deny & underestimate how bad the housing market actually is. Real estate agents will often say "we've hit bottom & things are turning around" just because they think it will positively impact the industry. What I don't understand is private citizens doing the same thing. Even some memebers of this board will often act as if they are blind to the facts and declare "It's not so bad" or "it's starting to get better". And it begs the question "Why?"
Got cash? If you do, join me while we wait this out and watch the RE market continue to bottom out. Stocks and bonds (not counting commodities) will be nothing compared to the profits (long-term) you will be able to make when this market bottoms out. Lots of people will suffer, but that won't change. Hang on to your liquidity. My brother is a RE broker, and he admits that his market has no choice but to lie about conditions. They are in a fight for their life. He has a second job which will soon become his first one, but we're both sitting on our reserves and waiting for the "real" bottom to come through...and it won't be this year.
Very realistic view Wista. I understand why real estate agents lie. I met with my agent on Tuesday when she showed me a house that listed at $379K and is now at $318K (assessed @ $487K!), built in 1994, 3,100 sq ft with 2 acres & BI pool. Amazing! Funny, but she did tell me things are going to get worse. her husband is a builder and things are tough for them. However, I have a hard time feeling bad for the RE industry since they made such easy money for the last several years.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121805947661818327.html?mod=googlenews_wsj This is going to take at least 5 more years to bottom.
Mossed81, I just wanted to point out how the mainstream media often overstates good news in it's wishful support of Wall Street and it's own profits by showing you this; http://www.reuters.com/article/economicNews/idUSN0727905120080807 Jobs, store sales soft but homes data brighter "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New claims for U.S. jobless aid rose last week and big retailers had disappointing sales in July, reports showed on Thursday, but a gauge of future home sales rose in a hopeful sign for the battered housing sector. The higher-than-expected June signings of home sale contracts offered some hope the housing market may be stabilizing. But the jobless claims and Wal-Mart's weaker-than-expected July sales boosted concerns about consumer spending and the corporate profit outlook, sending U.S. stocks lower and U.S. government bond prices higher." I don't understand how they can imply the housing industry may look hopeful when considering the onslaught of the pending Alt1 foreclosures. We KNOW that the financial industry is aware that these foreclosures will be bigger than the sub-prime wave we have been experiencing, so how can a site like Reuters just close their eyes and even write that statement? I'm a big supporter of only putting reality in the news and to say that housing may look hopeful is the furthest thing from reality I can think of. Especially considering our stubborn New England market has only declined a little over 10%, we know we have a long way to go. Logic states that a household income around $100K is about 40% higher than the average for Massachusetts. Therefore, families with this income "SHOULD" be able to afford a mid-priced home in an average town in MA. But the fact is, they can only afford a $380,000 home with 20% down and that is not even close to a mid priced home. Now, if we look at the most important entry-level sector which families with HH incomes around $70K should be able to afford, we're not even close to the bottom. The average entry-level home is selling for around $325K in eastern MA. Right now, a family making $70K can only afford a $260K home with 20% down. I guess we'll just have to wait & see how this shakes out.
I think a real test of the economy will come this winter if home heating oil remains at $4/gallon or more. Our oilman president has certainly been good for oil companies. Maybe he started the war in Iraq, not to get their oil, but to boost consumption and thus boost prices and oil company profits? By the way, the chart isn't up-to-date, at least according to this site: http://www.newenglandoil.com/massachusetts/zone10.asp?x=0
Pelosi and Reid said they had a plan to lower gas prices before the 2006 election, care to share that with us Patters? What plan does BO have to lower energy prices?
A very good op ed on drilling and the dems "plans" http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=27951 The audacity of ignorance??
I think Obama recently proposed several things, including selling crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve and he's said he to get bipartisan support for a plan he'd support limited offshore drilling. In addition, he's proposed significant investments and incentives to develop new technology for making more fuel efficient cars, making nuclear energy more effective and safer, and doubling the use of renewable resources. As far as Pelosi and Reid's ideas, I'm not really following them.
Tapping the emergency reserve will have no long lasting effects on a supply/demand issue. Waiting for legislation from congress isn't leadership? What specifically is his propoasl and how would it lower oil prices?
He's proposed many solutions, such as investing or tax credits for insulating homes, investing in the auto industry so it develops more fuel efficient cars, making nuclear energy safer and addressing hazardous waste issues so it could become a bigger part of the solution, having a use it or lose it policy for oil and gas leases to encourage exploration, offer tax incentives so people buy more hybrid or other energy efficient cars, invest in developing clean coal technologies, etc. Obviously, the theory is that less consumption will lead to lower fuel prices.
So I take you're a supporter of drilling our own reources, so as to increase supply, keep US dollars at home, and ease the financial strain on US families? Afterall, I'm not sure that a family inflating their tires is going to get them more heat per gallon with their boiler. I thought we went into Iraq for the oil? That's what people have been saying since day 1. Are you telling me now that it wasn't about the oil, and actually was to make it more scarce?
You really don't know you economics Patsfan...you should stick to what you know. Less consumption on oil does NOT mean less "consumption" in the economy. As a matter of fact, it would result in INCREASED consumption on goods & services that would benefit the economy more than $$ spent on oil/gas. Reduced petroleum consumption would give people more disposable income to spend on "consumable goods" like clothing, food, household goods, appliances, etc. Money spent on these goods results in more jobs and more economic stimulation than money spent on petroleum products. Remember, consumer spending (which does not include $$ spent on petroleum) is responsible for two thirds of US economic activity. less petroleum consumption = increased economic activity = wealthier country Care to try again?
Perhaps I shlould have said less energy rather than less consumption, our economy is based on the availibility of cheap energy. Energy is used to grow our food, manfacture products, heat our homes, to transport goods. If energy is more expensive we are poorer .

DEFINITION of 'Fourth Corner Exchange'
An alternative monetary exchange system based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The Fourth Corner Exchange makes use of a time dollar system of exchange that uses units of a person's time as a unit of currency. The Fourth Corner Exchange's official unit of currency is the Life Dollar, which members can accumulate by performing community-based tasks and use in exchange for similar tasks by other members.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Fourth Corner Exchange'
Fourth Corner believes that the "traditional money system creates serious social problems, which devastate our local economies by removing money from local communities and transferring it to large corporations and financial centers, leaving the people without a medium of exchange at a local community level."
Additionally the exchange states that "as an alternative monetary system Life Dollars replace the money drained away, allowing the people to continue trading the essentials of life. Fourth Corner Exchange Life Dollars cannot be removed from the communities in which they circulate, because the members issue Life Dollars as and when they need them by trading their goods and services within their communities. This is democratic money."

Where ricin is involved, preliminary tests can be inaccurate. Full laboratory tests will be needed to confirm the poison's presence.
Lawmakers were made even more nervous by reports from some states that district offices were also getting questionable mail. Republican Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and John Cornyn of Texas both said that letters set aside as suspicious by staff members back home had been tested by law enforcement and found harmless. Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan said a letter sent to his Saginaw office was still being checked.
Meanwhile, at least three questionable packages turned up in Senate office buildings, according to the AP. Capitol Police retrieved them while establishing a series of rolling lockdowns throughout some areas of the Senate side of the Capitol Hill complex. Confused Senate aides took to social media to share which corridors were open and which closed.
Ricin is a potent toxin found in the seeds of the castor plant. Touching it can produce a rash that is irritating but not fatal. Inhalation or ingestion of ricin particles is more dangerous, leading to death in three to five days if the dose is sufficiently large.
Ricin is not difficult to extract – the production of castor bean oil results in a mash that is approximately 5 percent ricin, for instance. Recipes for making the poison are readily available on the Internet and from commercial bookstores.

Defense Seeks to Bar Public From Kansas Arson Case
Associated Press - October 10, 2013 8:10 pm
A Kansas ethics official subpoenaed as part of an inquiry into loans to Gov. Sam Brownback's re-election campaign didn't appear as ordered Wednesday before a federal grand jury.
A 14-year-old Hutchinson boy accused of setting a fire that killed his mother and sister is seeking to bar public access to all hearings and court documents in the case.
Defense attorney Gregory Bell filed a motion Wednesday for a protective order that would close all hearings, seal the court record and impose a gag order.
The court set an Oct. 22 hearing on the request.
The teen is charged with first-degree murder of his mother and 11-year-old sister and attempted murder of his father. He also is charged with aggravated arson in the Sept. 26 fire.
His attorney cites media attention. He says putting the youth on "public display" could cause embarrassment, fright and psychological damage.
The state is separately seeking to prosecute the teen as an adult.
