Document Number: 8695The Economic Benefits of Reducing the Dropout Rate Among Students of Color in the Nation's Forty-Five Largest Metropolitan Areas - To better understand the various economic benefits that a particular community could expect if it were to reduce its number of high school dropouts, the Alliance for Excellent Education analyzed the local economies of some of the nation's largest cities and their surrounding areas. Using a sophisticated economic model the Alliance calculated economic projections tailored to the forty-five largest metro regions. The projections estimate the gross increase in important local economic factors such as individual earnings, home and auto sales, job and economic growth, spending and investment, tax revenue, and human capital. The findings are powerful reminders that entire communities are impacted by the educational outcomes of our youth. (Alliance for Excellent Education, June 2010)...

SUWANEE — Independent films are coming back to Suwanee.
For the second straight year, the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers will show a series of films at the Movie Tavern. This year's six films will cover topics such as Southern food traditions, public art and wine harvesting. Like last year, attendees will discuss each film with award-winning filmmakers.
The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers is a program of South Arts and screenings are funded, in part, by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
All of the screenings are at 7 p.m. The first one is Monday for a movie called "Pride and Joy," which is about the South's food culture and was made in six years and covered more than 5,000 highway miles. Filmmaker Joe York is a Glencoe, Ala. native who received a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Auburn University and a master's degree in Southern studies from the University of Mississippi where he's a senior producer of documentary projects. York was named Food Filmmaker of the Year at the New York Film Festival in 2009.
Tickets are available at the Movie Tavern, 2855 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, and on the theater's website, movietavern.com. Individual tickets are $6 each and a six-film package costs $30 and includes a complimentary glass of wine.
"If folks would give these independent films a chance, I think they'd be really impressed," said Toni Shrewsbury, special projects coordinator for the city of Suwanee, in a press release.

What's a realistic ballpark estimate for how long one can maintain a low bodyfat, and what's a realistic bodfat% to expect to hover around?
I obviously know you guys don't stay super cut in the off season (as that would be detrimental to one's health).
I am unable to bulk this winter because I'm waiting to hear back from medical schools, and I could have an interview at anytime. I just got a suit back in October, and I need it to fit me.
I need some kind of body challenge, so I decided I want to see how cut I can get... It's not nearly as fun as bulking but it's something.

The Refi Boom has caused mortgage rates to rise.
With rates persisting near all-time, lifetime lows, it's no wonder that today's homeowners are refinancing in droves. Nationwide, the 30-year fixed rate mortgage broke 4 percent fourteen months ago. Lenders may be overwhelmed with new business.
The number of days required to close on a refinance is growing. It now takes 55 days, on average, to go from the point of mortgage application to the date of closing. This glacial pace of refinance is affecting U.S. mortgage rates.
Click here to see today's refinance rates.
A mortgage refinance is a financial transaction in which an existing mortgage is repaid in full using funds of a new mortgage. The old refinance is "satisfied" and replaced with a new one.
There are three types of refinances. The first is the cash-out refinance, in which the size of the homeowner's new mortgage exceeds the existing mortgage by five percent or more. Cash-out refinances are most often used to fund home improvement projects; or to reduce credit card debt; or to payoff student loans.
The second type of refinance is a cash-in refinance.
In a cash-in refinance, the size of the homeowner's new mortgage is reduced by five percent or more as compared to the existing mortgage. Cash-in refinances are most common for homeowners wanting to meet specific loan-to-value (LTV) requirements in order to get the bank's "the best rates".
The third -- and most common -- type of refinance is the rate-and-term refinance. With a rate-and-term refinance, the homeowner's goal is to reduce his mortgage rate, or to change his loan's term (length), or do to both.
An example of a rate-and-term refinance is a homeowner refinancing from a 5.25 percent 30-year fixed rate mortgage to a 3.25 percent 30-year fixed rate mortgage, while leaving his new loan balance within five percent of his existing balance. Another example is a homeowner moving from a 30-year fixed rate mortgage to a 15-year fixed rate mortgage.
Click here to see today's refinance rates.
As mortgage rates have dropped nationwide, the average number of days required to close on a refinance is increasing.
In August 2011, lenders required 37 days on average to close a refinance. According to mortgage software provider Ellie Mae, today's lenders need 55 days, on average.
It's more than just low mortgage rates that are clogging lender pipelines, though. The number of purchase mortgage applications is at a multi-year high and a surge in "underwater mortgage programs" such as HARP, the FHA Streamline Refinance, and the VA IRRRL have increases loan application volume nationwide.
For example, in early-2012, when the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) was revamped and relaunched as HARP 2.0, it launched a wave of refi activity among homeowners who had been previously unable to refinance.
Nearly one million households were served by HARP in 2012 -- one million refinances that would otherwise not have happened, if not for the program.
Rising home prices are contributing to higher loan volume, too. As home values rise and rents follow suit, many renters are finding it cheaper to buy-and-own a home than to continue paying rent each month. More homes went under contract in January 2013 than during any month since the tax-fueled frenzy of April 2010.
Lenders are ill-equipped for the volume.
Based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mortgage industry pared its staff by half between 2006-2011, from 505,000 to 248,000. The cuts were the result of the recession; of economic projections; of consolidation within the industry; and, notably, of dwindling demand from U.S. consumers.
Today, mortgage lenders employ far fewer people as compared to several years ago, yet process far more loan applications.
Furthermore, today's mortgage applications require more compliance and monitoring, so the underwriting-and-approval process takes longer than it did last decade when lenders were flush with personnel.
Click here to see today's refinance rates.
As the numbers of days required to close on a refinance increases, consumer face higher costs. This is because mortgage rates are typically quoted in 15-day increments. As the number of 15-day increments increase, the quoted mortgage rate increases, too.
For example, when Freddie Mac publishes its weekly mortgage rate survey, it lists 30-day mortgage rates, which means that the mortgage rate listed is valid for a period of up to 30 days from the date of rate lock.
As we've seen, though, 30 days is not enough time to close on a mortgage.
Thankfully, there are 45-day and 60-day rate lock periods available. Unfortunately, however, mortgage rates for 45-day and 60-day rate locks are inflated. This is because more time exists between the loan's "lock date" and its "close date".
Here is how mortgage rates can change based on rate lock period :
With the average refinance now requiring 57 days, today's refinancing homeowners aren't getting the lowest available 30-day mortgage rate. They're getting an elevated 60-day mortgage rate instead.
The Refinance Boom has banks too busy to close on loans quickly.
Click here to see today's refinance rates.
The length of time it takes to close your loan directly affects your mortgage rate. The faster you close, the lower your rate. And not all refinances require extra time to close.
For example, the FHA Streamline Refinance is a simple refinance program which waives the need for an appraisal, and skips most typical verifications. An FHA Streamline Refinance can close in 20 days or fewer. A conventional refinance can close in 20 days, too -- it's just a little more rare.
Think you can close in 30 days? See what mortgage rates look like. Get started now.

A local man accused of soliciting two 14-year-old local girls for sex has a new trial date.
Norvell T. McIntire, 44, of Norwalk, is scheduled to go to trial Jan. 22 in Huron County Common Pleas Court. He is charged with importuning in connection with an Aug. 25 incident on Cline Street.
The girls were riding their bicycles when McIntire reportedly approached them about having sex.
"They wanted to get away from him. He actually hugged them," Norwalk Police Detective Sgt. Jim Fulton said earlier. "They got away from him."
In the current case, McIntire's final pretrial hearing is Jan. 14. If convicted, he faces six to 12 months behind bars.
Another young girl accused McIntire of a sex offense soon after the suspect was arrested. Fulton said the girl approached him and alleged McIntire sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl at his Grove Avenue apartment -- one of two places in Norwalk the suspect has lived.
Since 2000, police have compiled 10 to 15 reports in which McIntire was accused of committing sexual offenses.
"He's been doing this for years," Fulton said. "He was banned from the rec center in 2003 because he was following a girl."
In 2000, McIntire was accused of exposing himself to a girl, but she couldn't positively identify the suspect. Also, between 2003 and 2005, there was a rape allegation reported about McIntire, but he wasn't indicted.
Out of jail currently on a $40,000 bond, McIntire is prohibited from having any association or communication with any juveniles.

JOBY Press Release
Award-winner Joby launches newest Gorillapod
October 2006
"Joby's new Gorillapod wins hands-down, for the most convenient device it took too long to invent." - Popular Photography
"The Gorillapod is malleable and as cute as a chimp." - The New York Times
San Francisco - Joby Inc. joyfully announces the arrival of the Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM, designed for professional cameras up to 6.6 pounds. The malleable tripod is the third addition to the growing and award-winning Gorillapod family.
Just last month, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®) named the Gorillapod trio as an International CES Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree. The prestigious consumer technology awards honor products with outstanding design and engineering in cutting-edge consumer electronics.
Joby's new SLR-Zoom at $54.95 offers the same great features and functionality as the other Gorillapodsin a bigger, stronger package. For cameras up to 1.75 pounds there is the Gorillapod SLR, which retails for $44.95. The lightweight, original Gorillapod at $21.95 is for compact digital cameras up to 9.7 ounces.
Since the Gorillapod debuted in February 2006, more than 250,000 of the versatile tripods have sold in 20 countries. They've garnered rave reviews and been featured in national print and broadcast media including HGTV, Good Morning America, National Geographic and The New York Times to name a few.
The draw is a bendable, flexible camera tripod that lets photographers attach their digital camera to any surface. The Gorillapod can be wrapped around a railing at a theme park, twisted onto a tree branch, looped around a baby carriage, hung from a doorknob, or perched on a rock during a hike. The possibilities are endless. In short, the Gorillapod enables kids to professionals and anyone in-between to take photos that they have never been able to capture before.
The Gorillapod's rubberized legs feature ball-and-socket joints that bend and rotate 360 degrees. For easy setup, a slim clip can be attached to a camera's tripod adapter, which can then be slid into the top of the Gorillapod for a stable shot. A lock ring prevents the camera from slipping.
The Gorillapod is available on-line at Joby.com and at large retailers such as Best Buy, Amazon.com, Dell, REI, Kodak, and B&H Photo Video. For more information please call Melissa Burns at (650) 814-5800.

Trial centers on whether killing of Fillmore woman was premeditated or manslaughter
A Fillmore man beat his sister to death nearly three years ago and must be punished for it, a defense attorney and prosecutor told jurors Monday.
The issue is whether the slaying was a premeditated killing or voluntary manslaughter, said Claudia Bautista, the lawyer for David Morales.
During closing arguments in Morales' murder trial in Ventura County Superior Court, prosecutor Rebecca Day and Bautista painted different pictures of the circumstances before the killing of Maricruz Morales, 20, on Sept. 15, 2010.
During a recorded conversation between the defendant and his mother, Roselia Morales, at the county jail on Jan. 17, Roselia Morales told her son that the victim had feared him and thought he would kill her, Day told jurors.
" 'He is going to kill me. He is going to kill me. I already know,' " Day said Roselia Morales is heard telling her son.
"You wanted to finish her off, not just kill her, finish her off," Roselia Morales told him, according to Day.
Day said Roselia Morales told her son during the jail visit that Maricruz Morales had wanted her to do something about her brother. Roselia Morales was moving to an adjacent, three-bedroom apartment and wasn't going to let David Morales live with them anymore, Day told jurors.
"She was finally putting her foot down and moving away," Day said.
Roselia Morales testified last week, and Day said she lied on the stand to protect her son.
The trouble began when David Morales refused to move out of the old apartment, Day said. David Morales, who didn't like anyone to go into his room, got out of the shower, saw Maricruz Morales packing his belongings and attacked her, according to court testimony.
Bautista said Morales was provoked by his sister, who called him useless and worthless, saying he didn't have a job.
David Morales said his sister beat him and struck him with a candle holder and that she and his mother hit him with broomsticks.
"There is no evidence that there was thought, that there was planning," Bautista said.
She said David Morales had scratches on his head. Day said the scratches were on his face because the victim was fighting for her life.

Welcome To The Home Of Red Cedar Real Estate
We created this website to give home buyers and sellers in Maryland and Washington, DC an advantage. Take some time to look around the site and gather information about the home buying and selling processes, learn about various types of financing and grants and get an inside look at how real estate agents work.
The site is free to use and there is no obligation to take advantage of the information and free home search. However, if you ever have any questions at all about real estate in Maryland and Washington, DC, you can always give us a call or send us an e-mail.
When I began Red Cedar Real Estate, my goal was to start a small brokerage that focused on customer service and the needs of its clients. I had seen the big name, national brokerage business models and they seemed to focus more on hiring as many agents as possible without making sure their staff was thoroughly trained and adept at helping their clients.
Rather than worry about having as many agents as possible, my main objective is to focus on each client individually to make sure they are satisfied with every step of the home buying or selling process. I believe I've gained a reputation for caring for my clients and doing everything possible to make their transaction as smooth and enjoyable as possible. But don't take my word for it, you can read their thoughts in our testimonials section.
Local Listings Hall Of Shame
You can judge a book by its cover!A vast majority of home buyers start their search online before touring properties in person. If you're thinking of selling your home and the pictures your agent provides are like the ones you see in this scrapbook, you're going to cost yourself thousands of dollars and months of headaches.

Transfers to /from hotel were on time. We were greeted with a glass of champagne at the centre before going outside for the outdoor show which we all participated in. Very good. Then dinner back inside. Buffet style, looks of choice, amongst which was freshly baked fish, beautiful! Another show after we had eaten before mingling with the cast afterwards for photos before being transferred back to the hotel. A great night had by all.

About us
Our staff of professionals have years of experience caring for families who come to us from all walks of life. Each family does so because we are leaders in our profession, with a dedication to service, and deep professional integrity.
When we meet with a family, our goal is to help them create a fitting, memorable and affordable service for their loved one. We give them the choice of a wide variety of services and products, as well as a wealth of creative ideas and suggestions.
Together, we design a memorial or funeral service that suits their needs now, and in the future. Families who come to us know that years from now, they will have deep peace-of-mind because in coming to us, they've done their best to honour their loved one.
Distinctive Funerals was formed in 2000 by Nick Mastro, Vic Dichiera and their families. Unlike many funeral firms in South Australia, all decisions are made here, by locals caring for locals.
The Distinctive Chapel was formerly a Ukrainian Church which has been modified to suit religious or non-religious services. A private viewing room and tea and coffee facilities have been installed. We have available the latest state of the art Audio Visual equipment for services held in the chapel.

Too Shiny
By Lisa
from Sammamish, WA
Best Uses
Comments about The North Face Blaze Vest:
I purchased these for my husband and two young adult sons. All were returned due to the fact that the material is quite shiny. They were disappointed as they were nice light weight vest and they would have liked them otherwise.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'm married with 2 sons. My husband and I have 2 granddaughters from my oldest son. The younger one is in the Army. On Nov. 2, 1996 the car I was driving was hit by a Mack truck running a red light. Since then I'm in a wheelchair half the time, use a walker the other half. Due to my vocal cords being cut when they did a tracheotomy(sp. ?) I have a hard time talking. I have permanent Left Brain Damage. Before it happened I was a Stand-Up Comic for 7 years. And was studing both Long and Short... Full Bio

(CBS News) While the New York City Board of Health approves of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to cut all large sugary drinks from New Yorker's diets, some members are taking issue with one major point: They don't think the plan goes far enough. -- Andrew Moesel, spokesman for the New York Restaurant Association, attended the meeting and told the New York Daily News he didn't approve of the changes, and his group is considering legal action.
"We don't know if next it'll be 16 fries on a plate or only one hot dog a day," Mosel said to the New York Daily News.Read more »
The illegal trade in kidneys has risen to such a level that an estimated 10,000 black market operations involving purchased human organs now take place annually, or more than one an hour, World Health Organisation experts have revealed. Evidence collected by a worldwide network of doctors shows that traffickers are defying laws intended to curtail their activities and are cashing in on rising international demand for replacement kidneys driven by the increase in diabetes and other diseases.Read more »

There is an axiom libertarians use to talk about government spending; that which is economically unsustainable cannot endure. This applies to liberty projects too. I'm concerned that if our liberty projects are sustained by irrational exuberance, and not by actual economic incentives, these projects, maybe the movement itself, is unsustainable without the zeal of converts, because eventually the enthusiasm bubble pops. So, I contacted the activists behind some of the liberty projects that I support to hear their thoughts on the subject.Read more »

An 18-year-old Panamanian fisherman who survived 28 days adrift at sea is suing Princess Cruise Lines, arguing that the cruise ship whose crew members saw him stranded should have stopped and saved him. The behavior of crew members of the Star Princess was outrageous, shocking, atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community. Even though crew members "had clear knowledge that people were stranded in an open boat hundreds of miles from shore in the Pacific Ocean and desperately calling for help," the lawsuit says, "they consciously ignored the emergency situation," R.Read more »
Thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today.
The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal 'cure-all'.
The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born.
Hospitals and abortion clinics in China reportedly pass the remains onto drugs companies when a baby is stillborn or aborted, the South Korean SBS documentary team reported last year.
Three of the controversial factories that produced the so-called 'pink slime' that disgusted the nation will close later this month.

The plant in Amarillo, Texas, the plant in Garden City, Kansas, and the one in Waterloo, Iowa will close on May 25. A plant in South Sioux City, Nebraska, will remain open but run at reduced capacity.

Why I work at Surfrider
February 19 2008 | Jim's Blog,
by Jim
The Surfrider brand, the idea behind our logo, is about... loving the coasts.
That concept is encapsulated in our mission statement. We want people who live and recreate near the coasts to simply understand they have something wonderful... and to invest something of themselves to protect it.
So, one could (and we routinely do) ask the question "are you succeeding?"
We could point to metrics, notable decisions, global expansion, etc, etc... but what we really want to see is a larger movement. We want to see ALL entities embrace this mission. We want to see companies make good, more sustainable decisions. We want to see surfers understand their role and the need for action.
This all came together this morning as a blog post caught my eye. The post is titled "Surfers Continue Going Green Worldwide" and starts off "While taking my daily news-cruise I came upon another story of surfers putting themselves on the front line against the all-out assault on our environment. This time it was 15 Aussie surfers and kayakers ... "
My favorite phrase in that piece is "another story"... as one story isn't a movement.
This is what success looks like. It looks like people from all over the world finding an onramp for them to participate in this movement.
No, we're not there yet. Truthfully, we're not even close. The damage we have done to our oceans and coastal regions is monumental in scale... and it's going to take a whole lot of muscle, intelligence, money, victories, tools, etc.

This rather special disc showcases both the high summer of the Italian Baroque style and the early spring of an extraordinary performer of our own time.
In writing his violin concertos, Bach learnt from his predecessors and contemporaries both home and away, no less than he did in the other genres he perfected. This is one of his most enduring qualities – one shared by Stravinsky in particular – to listen and read and learn wherever he could, take what he found, and turn it on the lathe of his own genius. So he made sure to study the concertos of his Venetian predecessor, who was famous even in his own time for the easy mastery of the concerto grosso style that allowed full licence to the brilliance of a solo performer while always staying within the bounds of accessibly structured forms and deftly shaped, memorable melodies. Dialogue, of an almost operatic kind, was prized. Bach took all of this, and, especially in his E major Concerto, one of his most extensive essays in the genre, imbued it with a new seriousness of purpose and intensity of expression. The slow movement of the Concerto for two violins is a still point in a turning world, and has touched the hearts of millions since Adolf Busch and Yehudi Menuhin made their pioneering recording in the 1930s.
Menuhin was one of those who, early on, recognised the distinctive talent of the Japanese violinist Midori (b.1971); this is among her first recordings.
