Brand Veteran Michael Francis Joining DreamWorks Animation
Michael Francis is joining DreamWorks Animation in the newly created role of chief global brand officer, responsible for the company's licensing and consumer products efforts, as well as franchise management.
Francis, who is relocating to Los Angeles from Minneapolis, rose to prominence at Target Corp., where he spent 26 years, rising through the ranks to serve as executive vp and chief marketing officer.
STORY: 21 Animated Features Submitted for Oscar Consideration
Upon leaving Target, he served as president of JCPenny before founding his own consulting company, Fairview Associates. Clients included Gap Inc.
"Michael is among the world's top brand strategists whose distinguished career in successfully growing brands around the world is unparalleled, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the DreamWorks Animation executive team," DWA CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and COO Ann Daly said in a joint statement announcing Francis' appointment.
"We have custom created this vital new role specifically for Michael so that he can work toward developing our business on a global scale by leveraging both the overall DreamWorks Animation brand in addition to our growing collection of high-quality family entertainment properties," they continued.
Francis joins DWA as the company commences its new distribution agreement with 20th Century Fox and ramps up the number of movies it releases annually to three titles. Also, DWA recently acquired Classic Media, whose library includes the characters Casper, Lassie and George of the Jungle.
VIDEO: A Chat with the Team Behind Animated Oscar Contender 'Rise of the Guardians'
In an interview, Katzenberg said Francis' arrival at DWA marks the company's most important hire in years. He and Francis first met when Francis was at Target.
Katzenberg also noted that Turbo, which hits theaters July 19, has the most potential of any film DWA has ever released in terms of consumer products potential (the story follows a snail who acquires superhero strength in terms of speed).
"I am tremendously excited to join the DreamWorks Animation team. This is an incredibly powerful global family brand with enviable brand equity and significant untapped potential," Francis said. "DreamWorks Animation has a number of exciting opportunities for future growth and I look forward to working with Jeffrey, Ann and the entire team to take on this new role of elevating their iconic branded entertainment properties to even greater heights around the world."
Francis will begin at DreamWorks Animation immediately on a part-time basis and will assume his new role full-time in February.

March 7, 1939. H. L, ARNEs'r 2,149,719.
l n ELECTRIC OUTLET BOX Filed Aprills, 1937 aman' Patented Mar. 7, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFlCE ELECTRIC OUTLET BOX Harry L. Arnest, Arlington, Va.
Application April 13, 1937, Serial No. 136,677
4 claims. v(c1. 22o-3.4) Y
This invention relates to house wiring elements and more especially to electric outlet boxes such as are commonly employed as receptacles for plugs, switches and the like at the points where such plugs, switches, etc. are exposed at the face of a wall.
The coventional types of outlet boxes are provided with out-turned lugs or ears for the reception of screws which pass through and bind the straps (which support the plugs or switches, as the case may be) to said ears. It is the usual practice to make these screws quite long to take care of the varying conditions which are met with in installing the switches, etc.
The threads upon these screws are comparatively lne, and a great deal of time and effort is expended by the electrician in putting one of these screws in place. When it is reflected that an electrician may have to put hundreds of these screws in place upon a single job, the resultant loss of time and the greatly increased labor will be better appreciated.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide an electrical outlet box or equivalent article with screw engaging means of such a nature that the screw may be merely pushed endwise, and without turning, through said means and'may then be tightened by being turned with a screw driver in the usual way. In the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated two ways in which this object may be accomplished, though as the description proceeds it' will be apparent that many other ways will readily suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. Y It is a further and important object of the invention to so construct the screw engaging unit as to cause it to constitute a shield to prevent the plaster from passing to a place where it will prevent the proper operation of the screw. Further objects and advantages will be set. forth in the detailed description which follows.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein like numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures: Y
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a portion of an outlet box having the invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view through the screw holding mechanism hereinafter described;
Fig. 3 is a view like Fig. 2 but upon an enlarged scale;
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of one form of detent member which may be employed;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view showing the screw housing hood and the detents for the screw, integral with the box and struck from the metal of which the top of the box is made, and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view upon line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
In the drawing, 5 designates the sides and 6 the top or one end of a conventional electrical outlet box. It is common practice to provide these outlet boxes with lath-engaging ears 1, the
lath being indicated at B and the plaster at 9 in Fig. 2.
Instead of providing a threaded lug for the reception of the holding screw I0, by which the strap II of a plug assembly I2 is secured to the outlet box, I provide a lug I3 having a. nonthreaded opening therein oi such size that the screw I0 may be thrust endwise therethrough. When so thrust inwardly, the screw passes through a sleeve I I and is engaged by any suitable type of spring detent which will permit the endwise thrusting of the screw thereby and will engage said screw in such fashion that when the rscrew is turned with the screw driveryit will be fed further inwardly by the action of its threads in their engagement with said detents to bring about a very tight and secure binding of the strap I I against the face of the lug I3.
In Figs. 2, 3 and 4, I have illustrated the spring detents as being in the form of thimbles comprising cylindrical portions I5 and split frustoconical portions I6, the splitting of these portions creating a` series of spring ngers I'I which engage the threads of the screw at such an angle as to permit the screw to be thrust endwise thereby in one direction but to resist movement of the screw in the other direction.
These thimbles` I5 may be in any desired number and may be slipped endwise into the sleeve I4. Any suitable means may be provided for holding these thimbles against outward movement from y the sleeve, as for example, by indenting the metal of the sleeve, as indicated at I8. The sleeve may be spot-welded or otherwise secured to the lug I3- or to the top of the box.
The sleeve I4 is extended inwardly far enough beyond the lath-engaging ear 1 to prevent the bottom lath from overlapping and closing up the inner end of the sleeve. In this case, the lowermost lath would rest upon the top of the sleeve and, if desired, could be cut out for engagement over said sleeve.
With this arrangement, it will be seen that the plaster cannot enter the sleeve and cannot interfere in any way with the proper operation of the holding screw III. Under the arrangement at present in use, the electricians have a great deal of trouble in getting the screws in place, because the plasterer iills the space between the lath and the lug, corresponding to lug I3, with plaster, and the electricians have a great deal of trouble punching through this plaster for the passage of the screws.
Further, where a considerable length of time has elapsed `between the time that the plaster was applied and the time that the electrician comes back on the job to put in the plugs and switches and apply the cover plates, the electrician frequently iinds that the threads in the lugs of the outlet box have become so rusted from the moisture of the plaster that it is difcult to get the screws into them.
These screws are comparatively small and are not very strong, and it is frequently the case that they wring oi when the electrician tries to force them through the rusty threads of the lugs. When that happens, it involves a tap-out job, frequently'in a very inconvenient and awkward place to get at. All of this trouble is avoided by the device of the present invention.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown the spring detents and a housing corresponding to sleeve I4 as being made integral with and struck from the metal of the top of the box.
In this form of the invention, 6a, represents the top of the box and corresponds to the top 6 of Fig. 1. The metal is struck upwardly to form a vertical portion I3a, corresponding to lug I3, and is then bent inwardly to form a hood Ida, corresponding to sleeve I4. The sides of this hood are bent downwardly to lie close to the top Ii'a.
Spring detent fingers 20 are struck upwardly from the box top, and corresponding spring ngers 2| are struck downwardly from the hood Illa to engage the threads of the screw in the same manner as describedl with respect to iingers I'I. While this leaves some small openings in the top of the hood I4, these are hardly large enough to permit the entry of any appreciable amount of plaster, but if desired, the electrician could paste a small paper sticker over these openings whenhe leaves the job after roughing in and before the time of application of screws Illa to permit entry of plaster.
While this arrangement of electric outlet box, spring detents and screw adapted to be thrust endwise through said detents is of particular use in the relation described and especially so when the device is caused to serve the double function of a plaster excluding element and a screw engaging structure, it is a fact that the device is also of great usefulness in mounting other wallcarried electrical appliances.
For example, in hanging electric fixtures, involving the use of canopies, the electrician uses relatively long screws so that he can keep the canopies away from the wall far enough for him to peep in and locate the hole into which the screw is to be inserted.
However, this involves considerable screw driver manipulation in order to take up all this long length of thread after he has started the screw and has shoved the canopy up against the wall. It is clear that under these conditions, a screw which could be thrust into engagement with thread engaging members by a mere endwise thrust and thereafter tightened by only a turn or two with a screw driver would save a` great deal of time and work.
While I have shown the spring detent carrying element as being xed to the outlet box, it will Vbe apparent that all that is necessary is that xed detents be arranged in conjunction with the box, whether secured directly to the box or to any other part. For example, the sleeve I4 and the spring detent elements could be carried by the ear l or any other part, so long as this sleeve was disposed in plaster excluding position and receive the screw as described.
Consequently, it is to be understood that the invention includes within its purview whatever changes fairly come within either the terms or the spirit of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim 1s:
1. In an electric outlet box, a holding screw, a plaster excluding hood rigidly aixed to the outlet box, and a detent in said hood engaging the screw in such manner as to permit the direct endwise thrusting of the screw past said detent while resisting reverse endwise movement of the screw, said detent engaging the threads of the screw in such manner that turning of the screw will impart a final tightening thereto.
2. The combination with an electric outlet box of a plaster excluding hood aflixed to said outlet box, a part to be held in said box, a screw adapted to traverse said part, and a plurality of spring detents in said hood engaging the threads of said screw in such manner as to permit the screw to be thrust directly inward past said detents and engaging the threads of the screw in such manner as to resist direct endwise movement outwardly, turning movement of the screw in the usual way eiecting an inward feeding of the screw by the engagement of the threads therewith to effect a iinal tightening of the screw under such turning movement.
3. In combination, an outlet box, an outstanding lug carried by the box which lies close to the plaster when in use, a plaster excluding hood, a holding screw, and a detent in said hood comprising a split frustoconica1 thimble of resilient material, as and for the purposes set forth.
4. An electric outlet box having a part integral therewith, the metal being struck out in such fashion as to constitute a plaster excluding hood and spring detent fingers, and a screw adapted to be thrust endwise past said ngers and to have its threads engaged by said ngers, as and for the purposes set forth.

Race Relations Greatest Breakdown Stems From Institutional Racism
in Religion
Racism is the enemy in America that will continue to grow until Whites who don't respect Blacks can unleast call a truce. Only with respect will there be an ability to communicate. Race relations in America is filled with rage and ignorance is the root of the rage. All the many things being used to divide this nation can be easily resolved if everyone would lay down their swords and begin to speak to and not at one another with no repercussions. God says: If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land 2Chronicles 7:14
Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16
When attempts made to resolve racial issues leaves God out, then it is not in God's will. With 9 of ever 10 Americans confessing Christianity as their religion of choice, including God should be no problem. Once we can talk with open minds surely they can solve the issue of race relations once and for all. Leviticus 26:7-8 reads: But you will chase your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword; five of you will chanse a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword. Race relations greatest breakdown stems from institutional racism.

Your Thanksgiving table
How will you be decorating your Thanksgiving table? Do you have fresh flowers or foliage to make or supplement your centerpiece? Or, as flower marketers, will you need to purchase flowers for your home and table?
Other than heuchera leaves of a couple colors, I don't have much to add. I've thought about fruits & veggies, with just a few flowers or leaves, and I've thought of buying flowers at the supermarket. I also considered dried flowers, but I don't really like those for the table.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Well, we had $75 worth of orders to get out so all we had left was some foliages and odds and ends. So I bought a bunch of peach lily buds and something with weepy bluish leaves and pretty pink berries, and combined them with my white susanqua camellias and rose buds and winter jasmine. It was very pretty even before the lilies opened as I had a nice yellow rose,some pink and peach rose buds, the camellias with their yellow centers and some yellow winter jasmine.
Our "Pineapple Express" that has dumped over 15" of rain on us in November has been waylaid by some arctic air so we will now be ready to switch to bouquets that feature winter evergreens(pine, cedar, douglas fir, holly) and amaryllis .
That sounds beautiful, LizaLily! Those colors would have been lovely with my china. You are lucky to have anything fresh to work with.
I settled for fresh oranges, apples, and chestnuts, plus a few ears of mini-Indian corn, a few sheaves of wheat, and some silk fall leaves encircling a simple glass bowl. Honestly, I'm probably the only one in this family who really cares about centerpieces or flowers, so whatever I did was to please myself. However, my granddaughter, nearly 5, kept asking if it was real. She was specifically referring to the apples, which were beautiful and flawless.
The next table decorations will have evergreen and pinecones, plus whatever else I decide to add (white flowers, silver ornaments, silver-sprayed leaves, holly from the florist, cranberries, etc.)
Our table had dogwood, curly willow, rosehips and oregon grape on it. It still does actually. We are in the midst of cutting all day long with no end in sight. I sold 47 rose and 41 curly wreaths just last night. I am glad the housing boom is cruzing along here in Utah. Everyone needs a wreath or 10 for their house and for gifts! Our winter "farmer's market" is on the 9th. We have 36 vendors so far. I was asked to put wreaths on all the banasters for decorations, so hopefully I can have 200 plus ready for the show. I wish I had all those flowers of July still blooming! Off to the greenhouse I go. I now have 1.3 acres of perenials I have to get ready for next spring!! :)

I used to work at GameStop for a few holiday seasons. We had this one customer that'd come in. Middle-aged lady that loved to trash talk. We all loved her and joked around. One day, two days after we had a brand new manager on the floor, completely new to the area, she came in.
Her: Okay, I'm pissed off. This game sucks...

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
Listen to the Story
As part of Ken Burn's week long commemoration of World War Two, WOSU is taking a look at local vets from the Great War. Former astronaut John Glenn shares his memories of the war.
It's likely he's most notable for being the first American to orbit the earth and the oldest man to fly in space. But what some may not know is John Glenn's experience in working under pressure came long before his first space flight in 1962.
Glenn was on his way to his wife's music recital when he heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"I had my private pilot's license at that time as part of the old civilian pilot training program that was, the government put in just before World War II. And so I knew what my responsibilities were at that point," Glenn said.
Glenn left Muskingum College in the middle of his junior year to volunteer for military flight training. He and a friend initially enlisted in the Army Air Corps thinking training would begin right away. But their orders never came.
"We got disgusted waiting and went in and signed up in the Navy then to go through Navy aviation flight training. Then the orders came on that and away we went. I suppose somebody in the Army is still looking for me for being AWOL some place," Glenn recalled.
Half way through Naval flight training Glenn transferred into the Marines. By 1943 he was commissioned into the Marine Corps and spent a year flying fighter planes over the Marshall Islands in the Pacific.
On Glenn's first combat flight he experienced what many people in war do: loss. His wing man and close friend, Monty Goodman, was shot down and killed. Glenn remembers it was not until a scheduled rendezvous that he discovered Goodman was missing.
"You get the squadron together to see that everybody was OK before you went back home again and back to your own base. And Monty just didn't show up. So we went back in and went up and down. In the water we could see an oil slick off the island a couple miles, and that's apparently where he went in because we never found anything but that, but the oil slick. So that was on the very, very first mission so war making was pretty personal from then on," Glenn said. Glenn described war as hideous and personal. But he said for him, being a fighter pilot enabled him to somewhat distance himself emotionally from the effects of war.
"If they're shooting at you and you're shooting back, it's personal. But you don't have the eye-to-eye contact that people get sometimes on the ground in close fighting. Or you're not specifically aiming at the body of somebody else, you're shooting at the airplane, or you're shooting at a general area on the ground where you're trying to keep anti-aircraft fire down," Glenn said.
Glenn said despite the loss of a friend and witnessing war, he has no regrets about being a fighter pilot.
"I was proud of the service I did," Glenn said.
Glenn flew 59 combat missions in the Pacific during World War II.

Niki & The Dove - 'DJ, Ease My Mind'
Not so much stratospheric as it is exosphericMore on Niki & The Dove
So great is [a]Niki & The Dove[/a]'s belief in the redeeming power of a belting pop chorus, they seem to consider verses a bit beneath them. For the first minute or so, this track is all blah-blah-blah and then suddenly it's THWACK; with a tune that's not so much stratospheric as it is exospheric (check Wikipedia, yo) and ought legally to be sung by a cast of millions. Just Malin Dahlström will do for now, though.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) eliminated the positions of four key executives to make the agency more efficient, officials told the Los Angeles Times. The transit system has already merged multiple departments.
The move surprised some employees because the transit system is managing $14 billion in Los Angeles County construction projects this year, including five new rail lines.Leaders in the finance and real estate departments as well as the director of highway programs and the chief administrative services officer have left the agency. Additionally, the executive director in charge of real estate and the chief financial officer are expected to leave soon. A source who spoke anonymously with the newspaper said that paying fewer executive directors may help mitigate the agency's financial issues, since it is facing an operating deficit of $36 million in 2016, and most executive directors earn more than $150,000 a year. For the full story, click here.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

DR Brush and Field Mower-classic
I have owned this machine for nearly 25 years and has been a reliable workhorse. This is the original, high wheel model with solid rubber tires made by Bachtold Bros.
It still runs well, but the solid rubber tires have just about worn smooth. When I called DR the other day to order a set of tires, I was told they no longer have any parts available for that mower except for a few filters and belts. The rep told me the tires were a "specialty item" when I asked if I could go to a tire shop that dealt in ag equipment and find replacements.
Any ideas for tires? I have already checked eBay. And when a part breaks on the mower I guess I can salvage the engine and junk the rest.
I am not familiar with this machine but I gather it is self propelled?
If the above is true and you just need to restore some lost traction you can resort to equipping the slicked out tires with chains.
Now this is just my suggestion for how I might deal with the dilemma if I was in your shoes and needed some traction.
If the wheels that the tires are mated to are of "disc wheel" construction (like standard auto wheels) and not "spoked wheels"...............I would do the following.
Obtain some link chain having 1/4" dia link thickness. How much chain length you need will be determined by the length of the individual chain segments needed to outfit the tires.
Pick a point on the wheel disc that is about 2" from where the disc section of the wheel meets the tire rim section of the wheel. Drill a 1/4" hole through the disc at that point.
Now, using a 1/4" bolt (you will have to decide how long it needs to be) fitted with a flat washer big enough that it can't fall through the chain link.......put the bolt through the end link on one side of the wheel and stretch the chain over the tire tread until it meets up to the drilled hole and bolt on the opposite side of wheel.
Make sure you can get the bolt through a chain link. Enough bolt must come through to get a flat washer and a locking nut onto the threads. Mark that link and cut the chain at the next link BEYOND that marked link. You can now use this segment of chain to measure the rest of the chain segments you will need.
You will need to fit a chain at 8 points of the clock face in order to have a good working traction system. 12 o'clock, 1:30, 3 o'clock, 4:30, 6 o'clock and so on.
The drilled holes at 1/4" diameter will not cause problems.
Be sure to use nuts that are self locking or alternatively use a good strong thread locking compound on the threads.
Or if you have enough excess thread showing you can put an additional nut next to the first nut and jam wrench them together for a non-loosening configuration.
If the wheel is a "2 piece" set up "having inboard and outboard halves) held together with bolts, you may be able to use some of the OEM bolt holes instead of drilling all new holes.
Having a photo of a wheel would help.
This is what i did to a Troy-Bilt walk behind mower with the large solid rubber rear tires that wore slick. I removed each wheel, took an old nobby bicycle tire, cut the bead from both sides, cut the tire to fit over the wheel. Put construction adhesive all around the wheel, anchored the bicycle tire to the solid rubber tire with 1 inch galvanized screws. They are still usable after three years. My neighbors call it a "Redneck Recap. Works for me.
The redneck recap is interesting, and very "do-able" but, I ran a 1 ton, 2 wheel drive "dually" truck in some pretty un-a-TRACTIVE terrain when I was selling firewood back in the early '80s. Had a set of chains I made that covered both tires of each pair.
Went places that friends had to use their 4wd to negotiate, so I am still a firm believer in chains for traction.
Tombob, I believe you can do exactly what you said and you will be just fine.

Echoing Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited, Márquez uses his memoir as justification for telling an artful story that challenges notions of authoritative record or chronology. Time is porous in Márquez's Colombia, flowing back and forth among the mythic moments of his personal history to accommodate his fascination for place. While recalling a trip he took as an adult to his grandparents' house in Aracataca, he veers suddenly back to childhood and his earliest infant memories in that house. Nearly one hundred pages have passed before he returns effortlessly to the pivotal moment on the trip when he declares to himself and family: "I'm going to be a writer... Nothing but a writer.'
Similarly, Márquez toys with the boundaries of truth and fiction throughout his book. He acknowledges that his memory is often faulty, especially with regards to his crucial, formative years with his grandparents. And his explorations of key moments in his life show that, despite his vivid mental snapshots, the events were often temporally impossible. Further, he colors his tale with recollections of ghostly presences and occult events that pass without a wink into his narrative, alongside the documented accounts of his early successes as a poet and singer or details of his first published writings.
With its play on time and truth, memory and storytelling, Living to Tell the Tale's literary form acts as early evidence for Márquez's inevitable calling as a writer, and the language of Edith Grossman's translation, which frequently skirts the boundaries of poetry, mirrors Márquez's effort. While he meanders on his picaresque artistic journey--distracted by trysts with a married woman, the tumult of Colombian politics, and the raw energy of the journalist's life--he ends this first volume with the tantalizing promise of the literary career about to explode, and the impossible prospect of even greater riches for his readers. --Patrick OKelley --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Fannie and Freddie derail PACE solar financing program
photo: Sonoma County
In Thursday's New York Times, I write about how government-chartered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are derailing an innovative program called Property Assessed Clean Energy. PACE programs finance the installation of solar panels and energy efficiency upgrades and let homeowners repay the loans through a 20-year surcharge on their property tax bills.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Obama administration is devoting $150 million in stimulus money for programs that help homeowners install solar panels and other energy improvements, which they pay for over time on their property tax bills.
At the same time, the two government-chartered agencies that buy and resell most home mortgages are threatening to derail the effort by warning that they might not accept loans for homes that take advantage of the special financing.
The mixed messages have alarmed state officials and prompted many local governments to freeze their programs, which have been hailed as an innovative way to help homeowners afford the retrofitting of a house with solar panels, which can cost $30,000 or more before incentives.
"The thing that is maddening is that this is having a real-life impact with companies laying off people and homeowners in limbo as all these projects are stalled," said Clifford Rechtschaffen, a special assistant attorney general in California.
Under the financing programs, a local government borrows money through bonds or other means, and then uses it to make loans to homeowners to cover the upfront costs of solar installations or other energy improvements. Each owner repays the loan over 20 years through a special property tax assessment, which stays with the home even if it is sold.
The technique, known as Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE, was pioneered by Berkeley, Calif., in 2008, and 22 states have authorized such programs, which are intended to make it easier and cheaper for homeowners to invest in energy efficiency. So far, only a few thousand people have used them.
But the Energy Department wants to promote the programs — and give an economic boost to companies that install energy systems — through the $150 million in stimulus funds, which are intended to help communities cover setup and administrative costs.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government entities that guarantee more than half of the residential mortgages in the United States, have different priorities. They are worried that taxpayers will end up as losers if a homeowner defaults on a mortgage on a home that uses such creative financing. Typically, property taxes must be paid first from any proceeds on a foreclosed home.
In letters sent to mortgage lenders on May 5, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stated that energy-efficiency liens could not take priority over a mortgage. "The purpose of this industry letter is to remind seller/servicers that an energy-related lien may not be senior to any mortgage delivered to Freddie Mac," wrote Patricia J. McClung, a Freddie Mac executive.
However, the agencies did not offer guidance to mortgage lenders on how to handle properties that carry the energy liens. Backers of the programs fear that mortgage lenders, who depend on Fannie and Freddie to buy their home loans, will now start demanding that the entire lien be paid off before issuing a new loan.
That is what happened to Deke DeKay of Healdsburg, Calif., when he sold a house in nearby Geyserville in May. Mr. DeKay, who had purchased the foreclosed home as an investment, put in new insulation and heating and cooling systems, financed by $11,000 from Sonoma County's program.
"We thought this would be an interesting way of upgrading the home's energy efficiency without adding to the purchase price," Mr. DeKay said. "Then right before the close of escrow, the bank discovered this stuff Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae put out and refused to approve the loan without the assessment being paid off first."
Now Mr. DeKay is worried about his own home, which carries a $25,500 lien for a five-kilowatt solar array installed last year. "If we ever want to refinance the house, it will be impossible for us to do that," he said.

Geoffrey Styles says:
With the end of the largest housing meltdown in the country's history still not in sight, and with Fannie and Freddy sitting on millions of shaky mortgages, backed by taxpayers, I'd have thought it would be obvious that anything that complicates the process of working out home mortgage defaults is a bad idea. Why should loans made by municipalities to finance otherwise tenuously-economical home improvements (even if they are green improvements) stand higher in a bankruptcy queue than the lender on the primary mortgage, particularly when the lender is ultimately the federal government?
Financing is clearly the key to rooftop solar and similar initiatives. However, we should have learned something from the financial crisis we just went through. PACE loans may not have the word "derivative" attached to them, but they are potentially just as toxic, if on a smaller scale. The money to finance these loans is sitting on the sidelines in the private sector, while federal, state and local governments are running unsustainable deficits or raising taxes to pay for clever (in the bad sense) schemes like this. Time for government to stop acting as lender of first resort and instead find smarter ways to mobilize private capital for the task.
"It bears noting that the definition includes production of heat. While a lot of the focus has been on micro-generation of electricity, in many US electricity markets, substantial penetration of solar-assisted air conditioning (either solar dehumidifying, cooling, or both) would also have substantial market impacts, since in summer-peaking regions, AC power demand is a driver for the annual demand ..."
"It would be more accurate to say that nuclear produces 99% of Virginia's emission-free electricity, since the EIA reports that nuclear is 36% of Virginia's total electricity production (3.5 GW of nuclear).It is a little appreciated fact that nuclear power makes it easy to achieve high levels of decarbonization of the grid; this amount of nuclear power does not get in the way of adding more ..."

Analysis: Chipotle under attack by noodles and clones
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is one of the restaurant industry's hottest stocks, but fickle diners and an ever-expanding selection of entrepreneurial eateries threaten to make it harder for the upscale burrito seller to keep delivering the explosive growth investors savor.
After two decades without significant direct challenges in the "fast-casual" category, Chipotle is bumping up against a bevy of new rivals that also sell $10 meals made right before diners' eyes in the open assembly-line kitchens it popularized.
Chipotle restaurant sales accelerate, shares jump
(Reuters) – Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc (CMG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) on Thursday reported a higher quarterly profit after sales at established restaurants rose due to more visits by diners, sending the stock more than 4 percent higher.
The fast-growing burrito seller also said it had no plans to raise prices for the rest of the year, disappointing some investors, who had hoped for an additional boost to sales and profits.

Kroger to buy Harris Teeter for $2.5 billion, shares rise

(Reuters) – Kroger Co (KR.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Tuesday it would buy regional grocer Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc (HTSI.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) in a $2.5 billion deal, the latest in a string of grocery industry consolidations.
Shares of both companies rose, outpacing gains in the broader market.
The deal, approved by the boards of both companies on Monday night, will boost Kroger's presence in the U.S. southeast. Competitors there include privately held Publix and discounter Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the largest U.S. food retailer.

Missouri governor veto of farmland bills could hamper Smithfield sale to China

(Reuters) – Missouri Governor Jay Nixon vetoed two bills on Tuesday that would have would have cleared the way for foreign ownership of farmland and potentially eliminated obstacles to Smithfield Foods Inc's planned $4.7 billion purchase by a Chinese company.

Consumer group outs 'Worst Restaurant Meal in America'
(Reuters) – Calories: 1,320. Trans fats: 33 grams. Sodium: 3,700 milligrams. All that pushed Long John Silver's "Big Catch" fish platter to win the "Worst Restaurant Meal in America" distinction Tuesday by a U.S. nutrition advocacy group.
The artery-clogging trans fat tally alone is "astonishing" in the dish of fried fish, cornmeal hush puppies and onion rings, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The American Heart Association's recommended limit is less than 2 grams daily and trans fat has been banned by some cities and states and abandoned by many U.S. food makers.

(Reuters) – Last-minute legislative maneuvers in Missouri may remove one potential legal obstacle to Shuanghui International Holdings' proposed $4.7 billion purchase of Smithfield Foods Inc (SFD.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), which would be China's largest purchase to date of a U.S. company.
Smithfield's lawyers and officials with the state Attorney General's office are monitoring a pair of bills that could open the door for non-U.S. businesses to own up to a total of 1 percent of the state's agricultural lands – or about 300,000 acres of farmland, an area the size of New York City.
