Best wishes for Ashley Monroe's recovery. She was touring with Striking Matches, mentioned in the NPR article:
Striking Matches – "they're really exciting, not only because they write great songs but because they're both just killer guitar players. And especially, it's fun to see Sarah lay down a really rock, almost Hendrix-like solo on a stage that you associate with country music. Their recordings are multifaceted: sometimes very sweet and slow, sometimes really lively and biting. But you've gotta see them live to see this total guitar throwdown that they do together."
It's mesmerizing. I've seen them 4 times.
I do hope Ashley Monroe recovers from her kidney troubles easily. But the idea that Rodeo Bar won't survive … that's really sad. I have so many, many good memories of a venue absolutely dedicated to the music, and to the fans, and of "our" waitress who always found a table for me and my husband, and of the surprisingly good margaritas and bad brisket. What a loss that will be for fans of roots music in NYC.
Also, somebody tell Stephen Deusner that Belleville is in Illinois, not Missouri.
I've just not been able to get into Striking Matches.
I hope Ashley Monroe fully recovers speedily. Of course, everyone should understand why she had to cancel shows!
That's cool Rodney Crowell news.
And even though Rimes has already put out a Christmas album, I still look forward to the new Christmas music, especially based on the music that she's recorded since then. The track list seems interesting. I'll be interested to hear how she does them.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development released new standards for manually underwriting FHA mortgage loans. The standards are intended to provide more "definitive underwriting standards" and address five areas: (1) the issue of borrowers who exceed the 31% percent housing-to-income ratio, yet carry little or no discretionary debt and, therefore, do not exceed the maximum 43% debt-to-income ratio; (2) the relationship between compensating factors and "stretch ratios" that permit borrowers to exceed the housing payment and total DTI ratios under certain FHA mortgage insurance programs; (3) additional compensating factors to be used to qualify borrowers who exceed FHA's DTI ratios; (4) reduction of the credit score below which compensation factors may not be cited and the standard ratio guidelines may not be exceeded; and (5) extension of the applicability of these underwriting policies to FHA-to-FHA rate and term refinance transactions and credit-qualifying streamline refinance transactions. The new requirements are effective for FHA case numbers assigned on or after the date established in a mortgagee letter, but not earlier than March 11, 2014. Comments on the new requirements are due by February 10, 2014.

TIA chief executive Chris Roberts said Harris Mountains
Heli-Ski had helped develop ''specific heli-skiing safety
guidelines'' that were now in place.
Responding to questions about the crash - and that involving
a light plane near Alexandra earlier this month in which the
pilot was killed and two passengers injured - Mr Roberts said
it was important to wait for the outcome of investigations to
understand why they occurred.
''It is a fact of life that virtually every day, somewhere in
the world, an aircraft crashes. Flying of any sort has an
inherent risk associated with it.
''What's important is how we manage that risk.''
Mr Roberts said both recent crashes had involved
well-established, safety-conscious businesses.
International research showed one-off incidents had no effect
on tourism numbers, he said.
As a sector, the industry was already ''very'' safety
conscious and aware its livelihood depended on providing a
safe experience for customers, he said.

Michael Gerson: Romney was reassuringly dull
There is a tension at the heart of Obama's foreign policy, which no Republican candidate would find politically beneficial to point out. On the evidence of the final debate, Obama's main foreign policy insight is the need for "nation-building here at home." The killing of Osama bin Laden and the retreat from Afghanistan are presented as the last exertions of an overcommitted nation, ready to reduce defense spending and turn toward domestic needs. Yet promoting a just order in Middle Eastern chaos, or skillfully countering the rise of China, will require more engagement, and perhaps more resources. Al-Qaeda is not on its heels. The president himself seems to be leading America toward a messy confrontation with Iran. In these circumstances, the rhetoric of retrenchment is a failure of candor.
But this critique was beyond the scope of Romney's debate strategy. If reassurance was enough, the hurdle is cleared.
Gerson's email address is email@example.com

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — In a miserable season for his Arizona Cardinals, defensive coordinator Ray Horton is nonetheless a rising star in NFL coaching circles.
Arizona's Horton could be future NFL head coach
Expect Horton to be interviewed for some head coaching positions this offseason. Perhaps even in Arizona, should the Bidwill family decide to fire coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Horton was saying all the right things Friday after the team's final practice of the season.
"I would say today all I'm trying to do today is be the best D-coordinator in the league," he said. "I didn't do it because we didn't accomplish our goals and the rest of that stuff kind of takes care of itself. Usually teams that win more are rewarded that way."
But he did acknowledge it's every coach's goal to someday get the top job.
"That's what you're trying for," he said, "and if you prepare well you should be ready."
Last year, after his first season as the Cardinals' defensive coordinator, he was interviewed for the St. Louis job that eventually went to Jeff Fisher. Horton said there's no secret to having a good job interview.
"I think if you're confident in what you do, probably every interview would be good," he said. "I think I'm prepared, smart, knowledgeable, humble and everything that goes along with whatever that entails."
Horton was an assistant at Pittsburgh when Whisenhunt tabbed him to be Arizona's third defensive coordinator in five years. Horton has a year left on his contract, meaning he couldn't leave for another coordinator's job without the Cardinals' permission. He could, however, leave to take a head coaching job. His players certainly believe in him. Defensive end Calais Campbell says Horton would be an "awesome" head coach.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he had a lot of different offers because he's very talented at what he does," Campbell said. "He's smart, he understands the game, he's a great motivational speaker. I think he'll make a great head coach. He has that passion for winning."
There hasn't been much winning in Arizona, though. The Cardinals, after a 4-0 start, have dropped 10 of 11 and are huge underdogs at San Francisco. The problems almost entirely are the fault of the offense, especially poor play at quarterback. Arizona is starting Brian Hoyer at the position on Sunday less than three weeks after he was picked up on waivers from Pittsburgh.

It was probably in the Eighties that I first met Ustad Bale Khan. Strangely, I didn't even know his name; I knew him only as my cousin's "sitar teacher". He used to come once a month, all the way from Dharwad, and camp in one of his student's house in Basavangudi for two days. And all that he did – from the time he got off his train in the morning, till he boarded his train the next night – was to teach.
What I distinctly remember from this first encounter with the maestro is the absolute silence in the hall, but for the resonating notes of the sitar.
Reputation often precedes most maestros. Their tantrums, attitudes, mood swings take on legendary proportions. The masses – which comprise family, students and sundry – one had heard, shuddered to make even a meek presence, let alone speak before these stalwarts.
For someone in primary school and full of such popular mythology about musicians, to me, Bale Khan was an aberration. That's also probably why I never fathomed the greatness of this musician till many years later: his grand lineage, his achievements. If there was any fuss over 'sir' it was always in the background; I remember how students, friends and the hosts in hushed tones fretted and worried over sir not putting his sitar down even for a cup of chai!
There was a soothing quietitude about him. He hardly spoke, but there was infinite warmth for everyone who came into his range of vision. His kind eyes did most of the speaking.
At most, it would be a pat on the back to express his affection. His deep engagement and commitment to his music, his value for human relationships and an egalitarian space that was ever so accommodative, every aspect of his persona came through his sitar. Bale Khan sir would shut his eyes to the ways of the world and play with undiminished devotion; to life, to music.
In his death, and as I journey back to two decades ago, I realise how Ustad Bale Khan was a true musician in more than sense.
A liberal humanist who could speak only the language of music. That's probably why he hardly trusted words.DEEPA GANESH

Limbaugh Sees Swastikas Everywhere
Were you expecting to hear our national leaders—elected and otherwise—conduct a high-minded, rational, post-partisan national conversation about the future of American health care? Too bad. It's August, that magical time of year when legislators return to their home districts to face their constituents, and political discourse heads straight into the sandbox. A few days ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a TV reporter, correctly, that protesters have been turning up at rallies against the Democrats' plans for health-care reform and waving signs emblazoned with swastikas and SS lightning bolts, signifying, we imagine, a link to totalitarianism.
Yesterday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh decided to swat at Pelosi's gnat-sized remark by detonating what amounted to an atom bomb; on his program, he highlighted a conservative blogger's comparison of Obama's "Organizing for Health Care" logo—a caduceus, the ancient Greek symbol of medicine, perched atop the familiar red-and-blue Obama "O"—to the Nazi image of an eagle spread-winged above a swastika. Immediately, the search term "Obama health care logo" went "volcanic" on Google. Limbaugh added to the point on his web site, where he featured the two images—Obama's and the Nazis'—fading into one another, along with another of Obama Photoshopped into the place of a Stasi spy, from "The Lives of Others." (Note to Rush: The East German Communists may have turned out to be totalitarians, but they were Nazi-hating totalitarians.)
For anyone wondering, yes, the ADL has already objected, noting that calling people Nazis just cheapens and trivializes what the actual Nazis did. Which reminds us: Orly, are you listening?
Whose Swastikas, Speaker Pelosi? [Rush Limbaugh]

Wrong Bar
My diminutive aunt Flora, just four feet, nine inches tall, accepted an offer to visit a health club for a free session. After being greeted heartily, she was shown where she could change and told an instructor would soon be with her.
Having changed her clothes, Aunt Flora went back to the exercise area. Along one wall she noticed a silver bar that was not in use, and decided to try her hand at chin-ups while she waited. She jumped up, barely reaching the bar, and managed to strain through two chin-ups before the instructor came to her side.
Smiling politely, the instructor said, "If you want to let go of the coat rack and follow me, I'll be glad to help you get started."

Article Summary
"Human Birdwings" creator Jarno Smeets and his Android-powered, mechanically-assisted flying machine are creating a stir again. Gizmag originally reported on Smeets' effort to fly like a bird when he posted a video of his first test flight, in which he appeared to hang in the air a few feet off the ground for a second or two. In the video of his latest attempt, he's shown soaring around in the air, and a lively debate over the validity of the video is already heating up.

The Mississippi Legislature recently recognized the William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine, located on the university's main campus in Hattiesburg, for its contributions to Mississippi medicine and named the week of April 19-25 as National Osteopathic Medicine Week in the state.
Medical college administrators organized several events to commemorate the week, beginning with the annual Research Symposium featuring Dr. Stefanie Jeffrey of Stanford University as the keynote speaker on April 17. On April 20, a community reception and open house was held at the medical college along with a brief introduction to osteopathic medicine and an update on the medical college's status and future plans.
Other events held to observe the week included an April 22 National ShaDO event, where prospective students shadowed an osteopathic medical student; an April 23 lecture on medical professional liability by representatives from the Medical Assurance Company of Mississippi; and an April 27 lecture by Dr. Robert Good, an osteopathic physician and former president of the American College of Osteopathic Internists.
The medical college was established in 2010 as the state's second medical school and the first in the region to focus on osteopathic medicine. The inaugural class of 91 students graduated in May 2014 and the college gained full accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. The medical college is the 26th school of osteopathic medicine in the country and has the goal of training student doctors for careers in primary care medicine to address the physician shortage in the Gulf South region, particularly within rural and underserved communities.
The fifth class of students, the Class of 2018, started their studies in August 2014 and consists of 108 students selected from a pool of 2,442 applicants. Admissions preference to the medical college is strongly given to applicants from Mississippi and the surrounding Gulf South states.

William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine first-year student David Nguyen has been accepted into a summer research program at the Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center, a research facility operated by the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
Nguyen, a native of Anaheim, Calif., will attend the eight-week 2015 Short-Term Summer Research Experiences in Cancer program from June 5 through July 31. During the program, Nguyen will work in the laboratories at the Scott Cancer Center and perform cutting-edge basic, translational and clinical research under the tutelage of Dr. John Estrada, director of education and community services for the Cancer Center.
Nguyen, who received an undergraduate degree in biological sciences from the University of California at Riverside and a master's degree in biomedical sciences from Mississippi College, will be the second Carey student to attend the research program. Last summer, Carey second-year medical student Don Parish of Auburn, Ala., attended the program and went on to present his work twice on a national scale.
The research program, founded in 1988, has involved more than 344 participants with over 30 obtaining medical degrees and 11 becoming clinical oncologists.
For more information on the program, visit www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/cancer_center. For more information on the College of Osteopathic Medicine, visit www.wmcarey.edu/com.

Marine Land and Game Farm, Niagara Falls

16 Reviews
My husband and I took our 3 and 5 year old to Marineland just this past week. I was there as a child, but remembered little from that experience. I was eager to experience it again with my own children.
I'll start with the good. The 7 rides in the Family Ride section were great for the kids. Both my children had a blast. Lines were short. The rides were clean and well maintained and big enough that parents could ride with the small ones. My daughter was too small for most of the other bigger thrill rides, but the couple we could actually go on were also clean and well maintained. There is lots of room for expansion of the park. We walked a long way between some of the attractions.
The performances of the marine animals were fun to watch and provided thorough entertainment for the whole family.
Now for the bad. I didn't get the feeling that the animals were treated and maintained well. The deer are in a large enclosure with little shade. The ground is dirt, no grass in sight. No visible source of water either, but it must be there somewhere. The deer themselves look in pretty rough shape. Many had broken antlers, bald patches, open sores, and abnormal growths. 3 deer vomited while we were in the enclosure with them. My son when to feed one deer and was startled by a bulbous growth on the deer's lip. Some of the deer were too weak to even bother to come and get some of the food we had. Those that wanted the food, really wanted it. My daughter found herself surrounded, but they are quite tame.
The bear enclosure is small, and fully in the sun. There is some shade and water to swim in, but in the small enclosure I counted at least 13 bears. It's my understanding that bears are quiet solitary type animals. While we were there, we witnessed 3 territorial disputes (fights) between the bears. We could purchase what looked like corn pops to feed the bears, but anyone could throw pretty much anything in to the bears. There wasn't much in the way of supervision of park guests to make sure that unhealthy things weren't finding their way into the cages.
The elk and buffalo were also in enclosures that looked devoid of grass, water and had little shade. Also the large roller coaster went very near the areas where the animals were kept. A very unnatural environment to be in.
I don't know much about marine animals, but some of them looked kind of rough. There were a large number of bulugas in one tank. Many of them had what looked like healed wounds. The tanks resembled more of a human swimming pool than anything an animal might live in. I even caught the sent of chlorine when I was leaning over a tank to get a look.
Now while we had a good time at Marineland, I really don't think we'll be going back. The whales are spectacular animals and the deer and bears were fun to feed, I just don't think they are being given the respect they deserve at this facility. There is lots more to do in Niagara falls with the $130 it cost my family to go to Marineland.
It is worth noting that for such a large tourist attraction, MarineLand is both devoid of any kind of security personnel or an acceptable form of dealing with problems and emergencies, should such situations arise. The park relies on a rag tag group of "managers", who may be located some distance from any of the larger attractions towards the park's rear, making response time to any incidents laughable at best. MarineLand's employees are subjected to abusive and physically violent guests almost daily, and their only from of recourse is to interrupt the ride and or service that they are providing to telephone or radio one of these so called "managers" for assistance. The usual response when one arrives some 10-15 minutes later? "The guest has already left the general area, there's nothing to be done about it." This fact alone makes such a large and well known establishment completely and undeniably unsafe and dangerous for it's employees. John Holer owes it both the public and the persons in his employ to provide the safety and security that is expected with ANY park of this size, which he has failed to do, despite the fact the park makes millions every season that it is in operation. Cost should be no issue when it comes to the safety and security of your guests and employees, but it seems, at least for the time being, that this will continue to be a "whale of a problem" for the ever famous MarineLand.
The name makes them sound ferocious, but killer whales can be quite friendly and affectionate.
This congenial side of the largest member of the dolphin family became known through observations and contact made at facilities like Marineland.
For me, Marineland is a very special place. One day in the future I would really love to visit Marineland again. Among the many attractions, it includes a zoo, amusement park as well as whale and dolphin shows. I am convinced that one can spend an entire day in marineland alone. Arguably one of the most famous treats is the Beluga Whale exhibit. This exhibit includes a below surface observation window.
To fully see the park requires lots of walking.
When one spends U$40 to commit to walking around an enclosed area all day looking at whatever are the advertised attractions,
the customer expects that there will be something available to eat.
Marineland Canada offers junk food only. I don't eat hot dogs, hamburgers, or chicken.
Vegetarian imitations of hot dogs and hamburgers would have been fine, but they don't have them.
Actually, I'm not even a real vegetarian. A tuna sandwich would have been fine.
Do thay have that either? (considering that their specialty is fish)
No. Basically they have hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, and pizza. The best that my meat-eating wife found was a chicken breast.
Be warned that you may need to take your own sandwiches.
PS. They have beer (bad), but no wine.
Marineland was a great place to take our family! Another hot day in July, but so much to see and experience. Our grandson was actually able to touch a beluga and an orca. To see these creatures up close and interact with them is something he will never forget.
Although there were ticket lines for this, then another line to wait in while each child got the opportunity to touch the whales, no one complained as they waited in the heat. This was Friendship Cove. Beneath the tanks where the beluga and orca visited the children, a mother and baby orca swam. It was cold and dark here...great for cooling off.
Marineland arena is used for shows featuring dolphins and seals. The trainers had these animals perform water skills which were fun to watch. A comedian entertained the audience with sappy, but cute tricks. People sitting in the first rows got soaked, of course, but loved every minute of it.
This was a large park with walkways winding some distance between each exhibit. The bear compound drew our attention and we spent quite a while here feeding them. Deer and other animals were located throughout the park. Gift shops were available where we bought hats--you needed them that day!!
The price of admission and operating hours vary with the season. Check their website for up to date information.
"Like" is a better term, in my opinion.
The shows were pretty standard and uneventful. Only cute little kids are aloud to come help with the demos, which I resent.
The deer pen is pretty fun if you've never been up close to one before. Just don't let them push you around. My sister who was quite young at the time, was almost stampeded by hungry deer.
I was disappointed in the advertisements that make it look like anyone can go up and touch the marine animals during "touch times", when in reality they only let a certain number in line every couple of hours. I waited a long time only to be blindsided by a dozen little kiddies and never got my turn. Boo hoo.
Later in the same area, one of the Orcas came very close to me at the top of their tank (within arm's reach) and started spyhopping. I wanted to touch them but knowing better I didn't. Some kid actually pushed in front of me and DID try to touch the Orca, and fortunately got in a lot of trouble by the guard standing nearby before he toppled into the tank. Watch your kids around the open tanks!
The theme park section I found to be a lot more fun than the 'zoo' section. The rides were clean, well maintained, and a lot of fun. Usually I only like a couple rides in an amusement park and will ride those all day, but here there were a variety of enjoyable rides and the park had to close before I would leave.
The highlight of my trip there was feeding the giant carp in the pond with what looked like Corn Pops out of an ice cream cone. Some of the fish are gigantic, and they look very cute with their big open mouths waiting for you to feed them.
A brilliant day out in a lovely park. Lots of animals to see including Killer whales, Beluga whales, Deer and Bears. Whilst I was there I was able to feed the Killer Whale. This was a wonderful opportunity and only cost a few dollars. You can feed the deer, bears and fish too! You can walk in amongst the deer which was an experience! There are lots of theme park rides including a rollercoaster. It is a lovely place to bring a picnic which is allowed as long as you do not bring alcohol.
Park is open May to October, check website for dates.
At Marineland you will meet one of the most unique looking whales from the marine mammal family - the beluga. Expansive underwater viewing windows at Arctic Cove let you get right up close. You can touch and feed these friendly white whales - it cost 4 CD only.
We arrived at MarineLand expecting it to be as good as SeaWorld but it was a let down in that area. The attractions are few and far between which means you do ALOT of unneeded walking. The best ride there was the 200+foot drop on the hill...we could see it from our hotel room! The rest were kiddie rides but fun. The animals were fun because a majority of them you could feed. The aquatic animals however you had to wait for special times and their enclosures were small. It was almost as though this park had just opened. However, we've never been to Sea World so we weren't too let down. However, I do suggest driving and not riding the shuttle. We waited for over an hour for the shuttle while we were starving so that we could go back to the hotel. The food prices in the park were too high for no more than you got and we were done way before time for the shuttle to return.
High-flying bows, spectacular breaches and amazing flips are just some of the natural and thrilling behaviours performed by killer whales and dolphins that will have you saying "wow" more times than you can count.
Watch the whale show and scream on a rollercoaster, than feed the bears.
Yes, you can do all these and a lot more at Marineland Canada at Niagara Falls, Ontario. Once you are there, do NOT miss Marineland. Many tourists don't even know there is one.
I think the whale show is once in every hour and the rides, including the very long rollercoaster is operating all day long. please check my Marineland Travelodge for more images on this!
Regular Rate (10 - 59 yrs) $32.95 CDN. Child (5 - 9 yrs) & Seniors (60+) $27.95 in Canadian funds.
4 years of age and under are REE.
Applicable taxes extra. Some activities separately priced.
Parking is FREE infront of the park.
A great combination of petting zoo, marine park and amusement park! Where else can you pet a whale and a buffalo, ride the world's largest steel rollercoaster, and feed a bear in one day for one price?
This is the place to go if you're here with children.
Visit Friendship Cove and see the largest killer whale habitat in the world. Watch the show and prepare to be doused with water as the trainers get the whales to splash the spectators. You even get a chance to be kissed by a killer whale!
Also see the newest residents, the beluga whales.
Visit Deer Park and get ready to be surrounded by greedy deer looking for a handout. You can buy deer food to feed them and this makes for great picture opportunities.
Here's a handy tip though, take wet wipes to wipe the deer saliva off your hands when you're done feeding them.
There's an amusement park with rides like rollercoasters if you wish for a little more excitement.
There's also a campground here at King Waldorf's Tent and Trailer Park
King Waldorf is the resident mascot, a sea lion.
Great show. Great PLace. Rides are funs: try the roller coaster WOW!!! Not a place for someone who does like to walk! Very expensive. I do not recommended it! approx $45 Cnd

One or both of the front wheel bearings may fail resulting in a rumbling noise from the front wheel area when driving over 25 mph.
Volvo S70 Problem Reports
Newest Volvo S70 Problem Reports
The AC evaporator is prone to leaking, causing the air conditioning system to lose refrigerant and stop blowing cold air.
A broken vacuum hose near the power steering pump deteriorates and can cause a rough idle and the Check Engine Light to illuminate
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light and/or other dash warning lights may illuminate due to a failed ABS Control Module. Replacement of the failed module is generally required to correct this concern.
One or more door lock assembly may fail and cause door locking/unlocking problems.
One or more door lock assembly may fail and cause door locking/unlocking problems.
The Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) has a higher than normal failure rate. Volvo has extended the warranty on some of the ETMs to 10 years/200,000 miles
The secondary air pump may fail causing the check engine light to illuminate. The cause is often a failure of the air pump check valve that contaminates the air pump with exhaust gas/moisture.
When braking at highway speeds or when descending hills, a rumbling or vibration felt throughout the vehicle can be from the rear brake rotors. Replacement of the rear pads and rotors is the fix, and make sure that the shop installs the special cut-out shims available from Volvo to help prevent this in the future.
A refrigerant leak may develop from the AC evaporator causing the AC to blow warm air. Verifying failure of this component is difficult. A good shop will use leak detection dye to verify a failing evaporator.
An abnormal vibration maybe noted due to a worn upper and/or right front engine mount. Replacing all worn mounts may be necessary to correct this concern.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) Control Unit has a high failure rate. When this fault occurs, the ABS light will illuminate and codes may be stored indicating a problem with the ABS Pump Motor, or Wheel Speed Sensors, but the problem is the ABS Control Module.
Other symptoms may include an illuminated Check Engine and transmission shift light. and the speedometer may stop working as well.
Note: The brake system will operate normally however during a panic stop the Anti Lock Brakes will not work and the wheels may lock-up, causing a lack of vehicle control under these situations.
Front upper strut mounts may wear prematurely, resulting in loud noise from the front of the vehicle when going over bumps.
The turbocharger return pipe seal may develop an oil leak. The leak can begin very small, but will eventually progress into a large leak. Our technicians recommend having this repaired at first signs of leakage.

Fitch May Lower Ratings on 15% of U.S. Prime Mortgage Securities
Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Fitch Ratings said that it may lower about 15 percent of its credit grades on securities backed by U.S. prime mortgages, typically those too large for government-tied programs when they were issued.
More than 90 percent of the bonds under review were created in 2005 or earlier, the New York-based ratings firm said today in a statement. In a report earlier today, Fitch said that such debt is being made riskier by "adverse selection" after better-quality borrowers refinanced their portion of the underlying loans. The securities have "historically performed well," with 93 percent of the roughly $650 billion issued already repaid, Fitch said.
Downgraded senior-ranked securities are "still generally expected to retain investment-grade ratings and thus are expected to recover full principal," Fitch said. Ratings cuts are likely to be one to two categories, it said.
So-called jumbo mortgages issued in 2005 were smaller than $359,650 for single-family properties, with the limits lower in earlier years. Ratings companies such as Fitch generally don't assess the creditworthiness of debt in the larger market for government-backed mortgage bonds.

The authority said last night it had earlier received three
anonymous letters about the handling of statistics and
referred them to police for further investigation.
"The police have now taken employment action in respect of
the officers involved and the Commissioner has publicly
accepted that errors were made and have now been rectified,"
the authority said in a statement.
"The authority is currently awaiting further information from
police and will then determine what future action, if any, it
will take."
A police investigation, revealed in the Herald on Sunday,
into southern Counties Manukau police found about 500
burglaries had been wrongly reclassified as other offences or
incidents between 2009 and 2012.
Incidents are not recorded in crime statistics, leading to
questions about whether police had fudged numbers to please
political bosses.
Judith Collins was Police Minister for most of that period
and her Papakura electorate is one of the affected areas.
She has trumpeted statistics in her newsletter Collins'
Courier - which boasted about a 36.7 per cent drop in
recorded burglaries from 2009-10 to 2010-11.
Police now conduct spot audits countrywide and have all
tier-one statistics verified by Statistics NZ to ensure
Ms Collins yesterday turned up the heat on the issue ,
blaming the Labour Party for leaking the report.
Ms Collins said: "I thought it was very interesting that
Jacinda Ardern said she didn't know anything about this
before Saturday, because Andrew Little was talking about this
last week."
Mr Little, Labour's justice spokesman, said his comments were
about a related but different matter - pressure to reduce the
number of police charges to meet Government targets.
Ms Ardern said she wanted to focus on the integrity of the
"If the minister has seen reports from the new audits, then
it would be great if she could share those - just to
demonstrate there is a guarantee of integrity in the system
and it is working properly," Ms Ardern said.
Ms Collins defended not passing information to the police or
the Police Minister when she first heard rumours about police
statistics in February 2012, just after she became Justice
"I didn't need to pass it on because police were already
dealing with it."

SeaWorld's benefits to conservation, research ignored
We understand that there will always be individuals and groups opposed to the care of animals in zoos and aquariums. We recognize that we must defend what we do and the manner in which we do it. Blackfish, like other works driven by the same agenda, ignores the extraordinary benefits to conservation, scientific research and education of America's zoo and aquariums. But through it all SeaWorld remains the world's most respected marine zoological institution. Our parks are staffed with skilled and caring zoological professionals, all of whom deserve to have their work celebrated, not dishonored by things like Blackfish.
Despite what the makers of this film may suggest, SeaWorld is the kind of organization that draws dedicated and passionate people like Dawn Brancheau. These are the men and women who have built SeaWorld into an extraordinary place, one that provides inspiring, enriching and educational experiences to more than 11 million people each year. That, not the inaccurate and shamefully misleading account in Blackfish, is what SeaWorld really is.
Scarpuzzi, who has been caring for and training killer whales for nearly 40 years, is the vice president of zoological operations for SeaWorld San Diego.

At EastWest Healing and Performance our philosophy on nutrition is simple; it takes life to give life.
Our primary goal is to help you restore your body back to health by educating you on how to USE FOOD TO RESTORE YOUR THYROID. Thyroid hormone controls metabolism, which means by restoring the health of the thyroid, the body can burn fuel more efficiently and turn you into a fat burning machine!
Not only does thyroid control metabolism but it is also responsible for growth, muscle strength, appetite and the health of the heart, brains, kidneys and reproductive system. Thyroid hormone also controls body temperature and pulse, a very effective tool in determining the health and function of the thyroid.
- How to use these tools in the assessment of your own thyroid health
- What this means to YOU
- HOW and WHY some foods are better then others in restoring the health of your thyroid
- Exactly how to use food to heal YOUR body
We do not advocate any one diet but believe diet is very specific to the health and function of the thyroid in any one body. A "healthy" diet is individual and just as unique as each persons genetics, current state of health, stress levels, life experiences, belief systems and health goals.
Food is what human beings were designed to use as fuel. If "healthy" eating was simple, most people would be successful. Unfortunately, this is not the case so we MUST begin to reevaluate how we nourish the body. Learning how to use food as supplementation provides a foundation for the body to do what it already knows how to do...BE HEALTHY!
This program is right for you if:
- You have tried every approach out there and nothing has worked
- You are tired of being sick and tired
- You are confused and have no idea what to eat or where to begin
- You are ready to be done seeking out the latest health trends and once and for all KNOW exactly what you need to thrive
- You are ready to improve your digestion and restore balance in your hormones
- You are ready to get back to sleep again and wake up refreshed and rejuvenated
- You want to learn what exercise is right for you
- You are ready and willing to create time and space for yourself to learn about you!
The 4-Phase Approach to Restoring Thyroid Health:
- Phase 1: Initial Comprehensive Assessment & Food Log Analysis

Murcoch Mysteries
Since the last site update there have been a surprising number of female couples on our screens: established couple Santana and Brittany got married on Glee, almost couple Lexa and Clarke set fangirls' hearts racing on The 100, Broadchurch gifted us with an older couple, Call the Midwife did a jig over our tender hearts and Murdoch Mysteries (above) gave us sweet lady kisses in nineteenth century Canada.
Plus we had Callie smooching with her ex-wife's ex on Grey's Anatomy, Ilana hooked up with a lady on Broad City, One Big Happy introduced Lizzy and Person of Interest continued to revolve around Root's heartache at the temporary loss of Shaw.
Plus many I haven't heard about but would love to discover.

A little more femslash for your enjoyment.
Due to the lack of submissions I've decided to concentrate on some of the other aspects of the site. First up is the links section, that I'm hoping to add to continually over the next few weeks, but for which I need your help. So if you know of any sites that need to be added, drop me a line and let me know (including what femslash fandoms it features).
The messagebot that used to send out update notifications appears to have disappeared. So unless anyone knows of a similar system still in operation I'm afraid it's back to checking the site on a semi-regular basis (I shall endeavour to make the updates regular too).
I'd like to welcome two new creators to the site, so a hello and howdy to foomatic and Elle Rogue... it's great to have you aboard.

From the article: Bikini Waxing Styles
Women and men we want to hear your experiences- good and bad- at home or at a salon. Whether it was a regular bikini wax to a full Brazilian. Please, keep it clean.
- I decided I was through with having hair there, so I went all out and got a hollywood, although my salon just calls it full bikini. Boy was it painful, but most definitely worth it. I used to shave- never again. Wax all the way. No pain no gain as they say :p
- —Guest Nikita
Brazilian/Hollywood in Walsall
- Went to a salon in Walsall for a Brazilian, but they only did bikini waxes. The pain wasn't too bad but it wasn't what I wanted.
- —Guest Kaatje
Discription for French is wrong
- French does include the tail end. It is also for those who want to wear g-string bikinis.
- —Guest Angela
First At-Home Was
- Worst thing ever. I quit about halfway through one leg when the hair was not coming off nearly enough and gave up entirely after trying a small patch on my bikini line, which bled. Bad experience, but can't afford a professional wax.
- —Guest Luna
- I want the hair gone!! And I don't want to shave and nick myself, that would be the worst, but I'm super duper nervous about getting a wax, I can't imagine the pain! Thanks for the info, I'm going with my best friend soon and now I'll know what to ask for!
- —Guest AneB
Ow, but dealable
- Went for my first wax today. I was VERY nervous. Decided to go all out and get "The Hollywood." It wasn't that bad. Yes, It hurt, but completely tolerable and I love the feeling of no hair.
- —Guest Sarah
- I went and got a "HollyWood" it HuRt bad but I love it and I am so smooth :)
- —Guest April
bad waxing
- I went to a beautician and got a full leg and bikini wax done, it was extremely painful. I bled a fair amount and ended up with a lot of ingrown hairs which eventually had to be treated with antibiotics as they swelled up and became infected. I think I'll stick with hair removal creams.
- —Guest becca F
At Home Wax Heaven
- I am sooooo glad I chose to do at home waxing. No awkwardness 'cause I am by myself and can do what I want and don't need to know all the different names. Yes the waxing people see a hundred vaginas so why would seeing mine be a problem? Well I am just not comfortable showing someone that stuff :) so I chose at home waxing. I think I am addicted to it 'cause as soon as I see hair start to come back I immediately clear my schedule to take care of it ;) ok enough babbling.....at home is my choice
- —Guest Julie
Know the terms!!
- I finally decided to go for my first bikini wax because I was tired of shaving every other day. Who knew there were 10 different names?? I thought a full bikini wax covered it and when she was done and handed me a mirror, I basically had a foo-man-chu going on. LOL!! I ended up having to come back for a brazilian which was really what I wanted but was afraid of the pain. It was easy with the help of a little ibuprofen 30 minutes before. I love love love my brazilian and never want to return to shaving!! I don't know about anyone else, but all the girls I've ever seen in magazines had just about nothing! Names can be deceiving, so thanks for the explanation!!
- —Guest Tatiana
- Both my wife and I have the full 'Hollywood'. We are lucky and one of our neighbours is a beautician and so we have it done at home and at a discount as well!!
- —Guest andy
- It HURTS but is awesome and leaves a nice feeling.
- —Guest tar
at home waxing
- I agree with kelly, waxing at home is a bad idea. I, too, had patches of hair left end ended up tweezing them away. The waxing kits sometimes come with an oil to moisturize your skin and I found that it takes off most of the remaining wax.
- —Guest eliana rose
Bad Brazilian at Home
- I had a Brazilian at a salon before but wanted to save some money, so I bought a kit to do a Brazilian at home. Boy, was that a mistake. The wax didn't come off and I had patches of hair left. Let's just say that I was picking off wax for days.

Risk factors for contacts between wild boar and outdoor pigs in Switzerland and investigations on potential Brucella suis spill-over

BMC Veterinary Research 2012, 8:116 doi:10.1186/1746-6148-8-116Published: 20 July 2012
Due to the parallel increase of the number of free-ranging wild boar and domestic pigs reared outdoor, the risk that they interact has become higher. Contacts with wild boar can be the origin of disease outbreaks in pigs, as it has been documented for brucellosis in some European countries. This study aimed at quantifying the occurrence of contacts between wild boar and outdoor domestic pigs in Switzerland, and identifying risk factors for these contacts. Furthermore, exposed pigs were tested for pathogen spill-over, taking Brucella suis as an example because B. suis is widespread in Swiss wild boar while domestic pigs are officially free of brucellosis.
Thirty-one percent of the game-wardens and 25% of the pig owners participating to a country-wide questionnaire survey reported contacts, including approaches of wild boar outside the fence, intrusions, and mating. Seventeen piggeries (5%) reported the birth of cross-bred animals. Risk factors for contacts identified by a uni- and multivariable logistic regression approach were: distance between pigs enclosure and houses, proximity of a forest, electric fences, and fences ≤ 60 cm. Pigs of the Mangalitza breed were most at risk for mating with wild boar (births of cross-bred animals). Blood and tissues of 218 outdoor pigs from 13 piggeries were tested for an infection with Brucella suis, using rose bengal test, complement fixation test, and an IS711-based real-time PCR. One piggery with previous wild boar contacts was found infected with B. suis, however, epidemiological investigations failed to identify the direct source of infection.
Results show that interactions between wild boar and outdoor pigs are not uncommon, pointing at the existing risk of pathogen spill-over. Provided data on risk factors for these interactions could help the risk-based implementation of protection measures for piggeries. The documentation of a brucellosis outbreak in pigs despite the freedom-of-disease status underlines the importance of improving pathogen surveillance strategies and increasing disease awareness of farmers and veterinary practitioners.


text: , seventh, and eighth grade 4-H summer fun participants from Ashe, Alleghany, Davie, Davidson, Yadkin, Rowan, Guilford, Surry and Wilkes County got to figure out "who-done it" June 17-19th. Specifically, the 4-H participants looked into who killed the mythical Professor Halftrack and what the suspect's motive might have been. The murder mystery was part of a special biotechnology camp, "4-H Investigates" sponsored by North Carolina Cooperative Extension and partially funded by a grant from the NC 4-H Development Fund. The camp was held at East Wilkes Middle School in Ronda, NC. The youth investigators learned first-hand from law enforcement officers how evidence is collected at a crime scene and how technology can be used to solve crimes. The investigators then worked in teams to gather evidence, question suspects, and solve the mystery. Along the way, investigators were given the opportunity to conduct experiments, which helped them solve the crime - and better understand biotechnology. On day two at the camp, the 4-H Investigators were able to see behind the scenes at the Surry County Jail & Courthouse, Hodges Funeral Home and the NC Large Animal Diagnostic Lab in Elkin, NC. While at the jail the youth were able to visit with inmates at their cell blocks; asking questions about "life in jail". The inmates encouraged the participants to stay in school and think about their actions to prevent them from ending up in jail, too. At Hodges Funeral Home, the funeral director explained the procedure of preparing a body for burial. At the NC Diagnostic Lab, Dr. Rector shared with the investigators the process of necropsy. Necropsy is used to determine what caused an animal to die prematurely. The investigators were able to watch Dr. Rector perform a necropsy on a livestock animal to determine chronic pneumonia was the cause of its death.Additionally, youth participated in other hands-on workshops conducted by Cooperative Extension staff, volunteers, and 4-H'ers. These workshops helped the investigators better understand how biotechnology is used in professions other than law enforcement, such as medicine and agriculture to cure disease and develop better yielding crops and prevent diseases spreading in animals. Jennie Rucker, Extension volunteer, and Rob Neely, Rowan County Extension, taught the Investigators about photography. They used the techniques learned in this workshop to photograph the crime scene where Professor Halftrack was found. Dawn Stanley, Surry Community College, set up a mock crime scene to help the investigators practice drawing a crime scene to scale and reminding them to leave nothing out of their drawings. Jason McGuire, Wilkes County Sheriff's Department, allowed the Investigators to take fingerprints and understand the fingerprinting process when criminals are booked. Jennifer Miller, Ashe County Extension, demonstrated teeth impressions and allowed the investigators to determine, "Who bit the cheese?" The investigators also extracted their own DNA with the help of Melissa Staebner, Yadkin County Extension, and Beth Stanley, Surry County Extension. Sara Drake, Rowan County Extension, facilitated Fruit DNA analysis, which allowed the investigators to understand about genetic engineering. The Investigators also learned that blood spatters, it does not splatter, through the instruction of Ryan Archer, Guilford County 4-H'er. He helped the investigators determine which house hold product could be used to lift fingerprints.

As is right and proper, with the various minor leagues either coming up on or having already played their All-Star games, it is time for a re-ranking of the top 15 prospects in the Rangers organization.
First, though, a look back at who occupied these spots before the season began:
1. Rougned Odor
2. Luke Jackson
5. Nomar Mazara
Both Rougned Odor and Michael Choice have graduated from the ranks of the minor leagues, and both have alternately impressed and frustrated Rangers fans. Luke Jackson impressed in his time with Double-A Frisco, and earned himself a very recent promotion to Triple-A Round Rock. Nick Williams' struggles at the beginning of the season caused him to fall down the list a bit, but his ceiling is still up among the top.
1. Joey Gallo
27 homers total. A .323/.463/.735 line in 58 games with high-A Myrtle Beach. A massive walk-off homer in his first game at the AA level. Gallo is fun to write about in exaggerated terms, and his performance this year so far is enough to vault him up the ranks from eighth pre-season to first now. The improvement in all facets of the game that he demonstrated across the first part of the season was one of the best surprises of this first half.
Of course, he's striking out at an unpleasant 41.1 percent rate through 13 games in Double A, though that sample size is still small enough that a 3-for-3, BB game could drastically affect that number. In this second half of the season, he'll need to prove that the numbers in Myrtle Beach weren't an illusion, and that he can handle pitchers with more experience and more advanced stuff, pitchers who aren't just going to give him walks. It should be fascinating to watch his continued development through 2014, and see what 2015 brings.
2. Luke Jackson
Speaking of statistical leaders, Luke Jackson leads the Texas League in strikeouts with 83, seven more than the next pitcher, despite his recent promotion to Triple A. Even more importantly, Jackson's cut his walk rate to its lowest number in his professional career, only walking 7.2 percent of batters he faces, as opposed to his 11-plus percent in every year since 2012. Though his ERA currently sits just above 3, he has often looked like a dominant pitcher, causing ineffective swings and weak contact.
Though some think he would be better suited to a bullpen role, and he could still see his first major league time as such, Jackson is still among the Rangers' starting pitching prospects, and could challenge for a major league rotation spot as early as next season. Jackson was just promoted to Round Rock, and will make his first start with the Express on Sunday.
3. Alex Gonzalez
Though Gonzalez was well-thought of after his drafting last year, he didn't really get to show off his potential until this season, where he started the season with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Though he only struck out 49 batters through 65.1 innings, the right-hander showed why the Rangers drafted him with their first round pick last season, putting up a 2.60 ERA and only allowing three homers in his 11 starts. Since coming to Frisco, Gonzalez has been pitching limited innings, and his ERA seems inflated, but eyewitness reports say that the majority of the hits against him have been cheap, bouncing balls snuck through the infield or bad luck drops. That kind of thing should even out across the rest of the season, and the current ERA isn't a reason to panic.
Gonzalez should stay in Frisco for the rest of the season, working through Double-A hitters and improving all his pitches. If things go as they should, he could possibly challenge for a rotation spot in 2015, an impressively quick development from a 2013 draft pick.
4. Jorge Alfaro
Possibly the most divisive prospect in the Rangers system, Jorge Alfaro has one of the highest ceilings of any of the minor leaguers. The question still remains as to whether or not he can put everything together to become the top-line offensive catcher he could be.
Currently in Myrtle Beach, the C/DH/1B is hitting .262/.322/.438 through 68 games, numbers similar to his last season in Hickory, though against advanced competition. The offense has always been assumed to come around, though, and the nine homers so far (as opposed to 16 through a full season) suggest that Alfaro might be finally able to access the power that has been projected for him. The main worrying point remains the defense, and Alfaro's reported inability to use his hands to allow him to make the best of his incredible arm.
5. Nomar Mazara
Despite a glacially slow start to the season, recent adjustments and improvements have kept Nomar Mazara near the top of prospect lists. The teenager is spending his second season with the Hickory Crawdads, and according to local writer Mark Parker, 'Strikeouts aside, Mazara has never seemed overmatched at the plate.' A victim of the strikeout plague that struck the Crawdads in 2013, Mazara's Ks came more on full counts that he let get a little too full, rather than giant whiffs at breaking pitches. Defensively, Mazara has taken to the outfield more comfortably than some thought he could, though he'll probably never be more than an average defender with a good arm out there. He can show off out there again, from Mark Parker, 'He made a throw in RF to 3B a couple of weeks ago that was one of the best I've seen here-- a bullet of about 200 feet right on the money to the 3B who simply had to stand at the bag and drop a tag on the runner going 2nd to 3rd.'
Mazara could possibly move up to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans later this season if the organization decides he needs the challenge.

NOTEBOOK: Ole Miss defense no match for Tigers' offense
The Ole Miss defense had allowed just eight touchdowns all season. Saturday night the Auburn offense scored five in a 35-31 victory over the Rebels at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. It was not the best outing for one of the nation's best defenses, which allowed more than 20 points for the first time in 10 games. (November 2, 2014, Page 1B)

the video is mainly forehands, but I have done a lot of good reflection and realization from it. the slow-mo and stop motion break down is at 2:28, but I hope you will look at all the whole video and comment on the strokes.
Even though I didn't make the video for or against the wrist snap argument specifically, I feel that I can now decide for myself. As I stated in post #4 here, if you are swinging anything like the pros (and I'm not claiming to be), there is minimal to no intentional wrist movement. I can honestly say that I was just swinging through the ball, no intentional wrist flicking, radial deviation, or anything of the sort. I do think there are some exceptions (see
at 38 seconds, for example. it's hard to fathom that much forearm speed and the follow through without wrist action), but they are mainly from bad positioning or bad foot work.
I also mentioned that the proper follow through pronation, with no voluntary wrist action, was due to the stretch shortening cycle based on Solat's explanation (post #6 at
) and other readings. I have really been focusing lately on getting the racquet face that will make contact to face behind me on the take back, as mentioned in talks about the SSC and performed by many top pros (to varying degrees). In many of my shots I see that the racquet is making between a 45 and 90 degree angle with my forearm right before contact, so I just want to make sure this is evidence of the SSC and that's it's helped by the racquet face facing behind me. Also, I noticed that Murray doesn't have much of a racquet face turn back at all, but at the lowest part of his back swing his contact strings are facing down and parallel to the ground. What does this accomplish, and how does it effect SSC?
Without getting too deep into another dividing topic, I did lead up the main racquet of the video to 383 grams, 7.5 pts HL, and SW of 365, so without the calculations in front of me i think the Mgr/I is just under 21. It feels absolutely awesome, and like the video convinced me the wrist is not active, I am also convinced there is something to Mgr/I. By the way, the racquet is a Ti. Carbon 5001, and the strings are the FACTORY SYNTHETIC. That's right, I haven't changed out the strings yet, and I am still getting great results with spin, accuracy, and consistency. Can't wait to get some kevlar in there
i haven't played around with mgr/i yet. everytime i read up on it i give up because of all the banter back and forth and i get confused.
what have you noticed with it?
swing path looks good i guess. you should really work on it though. you're wasting a lot of energy and it's not repeatable due to your stance and footwork. and your stroke won't hold up against a heavy ball from say for example.. me. haha.
what grip is that? looks like a mild eastern.

In the United States, Rose Leandre was anxiously trying to get through to any family members in her native Haiti on Tuesday evening.
The Spring Valley, N.Y., woman runs the Haitian-American Cultural and Social Organization, which provides immigration, social and educational outreach to the sizable Haitian community --- estimated to be at least 11,000, according to U.S. Census figures -- in Rockland County, one of New York City's northern suburbs.
"Everybody's been calling all over and calling each other, 'have you heard from your family?' And so far, no one's getting through ? so far, within the community, no one has gotten through to anyone in Haiti," Leandre said.
Leandre added that she was desperate to make contact with her mother, who traveled to Haiti, to an area 20 minutes outside Port-au-Prince, just Monday.
"She's disabled, she has severe arthritis, so during the wintertime, it's horrible for her, so she usually goes and spends a month or two in warmer weather," Leandre said.
Leandre said the community would likely meet today to discuss relief efforts.
A tsunami watch was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, but it was canceled after several hours.
"There could have been destructive tsunami waves near the earthquake epicenter but there is not a threat to coastal areas further away," said an advisory from the warning center.
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, with a population estimated at 9.8 million people, according to the World Bank.

Most rendering engines subdivide arbitrary polygons into a collection of triangles, which are then rendered independently of each other. This procedure can introduce severe artifacts when rendering texture-mapped quadrilaterals. These errors result from a fundamental limitation: the impossibility of performing general projective mappings using only the information available at the vertices of a single triangle. Texture mapping involving arbitrary quadrilaterals has practical importance in applications that use real images as textures, such as in image-based modeling and rendering. The paper presents an efficient adaptive-subdivision solution to the problem, which, due to its simplicity, can be easily incorporated into graphics APIs
