COMMERCE CITY — A massive program to jump-start the local economy has doled out more than $500,000 in incentives to businesses, homebuilders and homeowners and is getting national attention in the process.
Commerce City expects to reap more than 250 jobs and $15 million in capital investments under the program, which has already attracted an engine remanufacturing plant.
The incentives include offering builders a $1,500 rebate for every home built in 2010 or 2011, providing new grocery and eating places with a 50 percent sales-tax rebate for the first two years of operation, and temporarily waiving half of the building fees associated with residential home improvements.
There are rebates available to "green" businesses, as well. And if a new or existing business in a target industry aims to create more than 50 jobs or invest more than $10 million in capital improvements, it is eligible to get above what is offered in the package.
Cummins Rocky Mountain LLC will build a $13.3 million, 178,000 square-foot facility just east of 104th Avenue on Havana Street. There, it will remanufacture and distribute a line of diesel engines. The plant, the largest Cummins High Horsepower diesel engine remanufacturing plant in North America, will result in 70 new jobs. Eventually, 150 people will work there.
Cummins had considered moving to Salt Lake City but was swayed by Commerce City's package of sales- and use-tax rebates, said Brittany Morris, Commerce City's director of economic development.
"We believe this is the most comprehensive incentive program in the state because we touch every single facet of Commerce City life," said Morris, adding that the city worked in concert with Adams County and the state to land the Cummins plant.
The incentive program is set to end Dec. 1, after which the City Council will determine whether it will be extended. So far, Mayor Paul Natale is impressed.
"It's been terrific for us because it's allowed us to move forward while some cities haven't been able to do so," Natale said.
Home building, which has been stagnate in other parts of the metro area, has already been buoyed by the program, which began June 1, Morris said. The city issued 220 building permits so far this year, compared with 130 in 2009.
"This has been great timing for us with the economy the way it is," Natale said. "We are moving stuff out there that we never thought we could move."
Commerce City's efforts have been highlighted in national trade magazines, and Morris has been asked to speak at the Atlanta Regional Commission's Community Planning Academy on Dec. 9.
"So far, the program has been a real positive for us," Natale said. "It's something we will take a long hard look at extending."

I just wanted to express my thanks and gratitude to InkHead. My team's lack of planning landed on my shoulders to pick up for a staff appreciation event. I had a week to get tumblers of some kind in my hands. I looked at many sites/companies, the prices charges for products and rush production and delivery were astronomical. Then, I found InkHead and contacted customer services via live chat, sure that it was too good to be true. Alas, Derek assured me that if I approved my proof in 24 hours, the tumblers could be rush produced and shipped to us at no extra charge. I was nervous! They didn't ship until Monday- but customer service assuaged my nerves. Sure enough, though I placed a custom order around 8:15p on Wednesday, I had the cups in hand here in Maine at 9:43am the following Wednesday. The quality was great- not a single cup had a poor imprint in 120. We were thoroughly impressed, and our event went off without a hitch- they all loved the cups. It's not often the a company goes the extra mile to help out customers without taking advantage (literally every other company I looked at quoted $800 plus, I paid $285 through you) and I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you on behalf of our organization. We will happily use your services again! Rebekah M. Living Innovations
The Pens came yesterday and they are just beautiful. You did a fantastic job! Will definitely be using your company again. You made the process so smooth but also gave that personal attention making sure we got the best quality. Thank you! Dee G.

Your company was great to work with! A huge amount of patience with me! LOL Thank you so much! Kathy C. Owner Kathy C. Consulting
I own a trophy / promotional company and this was my first experience with Inkhead. One of my valued customers gave me 6 days notice for an event to manufacture 1000 cups. Knowing I could not have them done in time, I found Inkhead. Needless to say having never using them before not only were the cups done on time they meet my demanding deadline. Truly great customer service and production! Mike G. Old Line Trophy
This was our 2nd order. We love the prompt courteous service and the product. Thank you! Max H.
We ordered the pens for a trade show and are very happy with the quality. Love the style of the pen and it writes very well. Good purchase for us! Payal R.
The water bottles I order came exactly when promised. They were exactly what was order. Great product at a FANTASTIC price! Max H.
We are very pleased with the pennants that we purchased from Inkhead. It was an easy process and everyone we spoke with was very helpful. Lisa A.
Excellent service. Eric was very helpful on the chat line today and it was very nice of Jennifer to call and let me know to look for the approval email. I'm impressed. And would recommend you to others. Thanks! Joe F.
Thanks for the great service!! It was easy to order and very prompt. It was nice to deal with personable folks! Brenda V.

Ordering and communication were simple and easy...Thank you so much!!! Lisa M., Parliamentarian Heather H., President Grandview Elementary PTA Twin Peaks, CA
We just received delivery of our 1,500 units of our eco bags! I just wanted to thank all of you for such a wonderful job in helping us design and produce such a gorgeous eco bag for our 40th Anniversary! We have yet to launch but our samples are already receiving recognition as "beautiful" and "being high quality bags." I suspect you receive an abundance of emails daily but few enough expressing gratitude for a job well done! Put this one in that category. When my organization needs other promotional products, you can be certain we will be returning to you for all of our promotional product needs. Guy S.
I send the email late at night and I wake up to an invoice. I seriously wish all of our manufacturers were this easy to work with! THANK YOU so much for the ridiculously fast turnaround, this is amazing. I just approved the mock and submitted the payment. Very much appreciated!! Stephen P.
I received the can coolies Tuesday and they're outstanding! Really cool. Can't wait for everyone to receive them on our annual canoe trip. Thanks so much for you help before and during the ordering process. I will be sure to recommend InkHead to others that may need your services! Tony M.
I love the tote that I received. The tumbler is so wonderful to have something to put ice cold drinks in. I love it! Kay J. S.

Playing in front of his childhood idol, young Gabriel Landeskog performed like a man in his NHL debut.
The 18-year old Avalanche rookie, the No. 2 overall selection in the June draft, was one of Colorado's best players in Saturday's 3-0 opening-night loss to Detroit.
"We had a lot of opportunities, and I thought Landeskog definitely had a great game," Avs center Ryan O'Reilly said of his linemate. "He's going to be an awesome player in this league."
After Landeskog watched former Avs superstar and Swedish countryman Peter Forsberg have his No. 21 jersey retired and raised to the Pepsi Center rafters, the rookie tied center Paul Stastny with a team-high five shots, delivered three hits and was not on the ice for any of Detroit's goals. Landeskog finished with 24 shifts for 16:03 worth of ice time, primarily on the O'Reilly-centered line with Daniel Winnik.
After Sunday's practice, Avs coach Joe Sacco praised Landeskog's debut.
"His overall game was pretty strong, and that complemented his line as well. I thought his line was our best line. The three of them worked well," Sacco said. "What I like about Gabriel at 18 years old is that, for the most part, he plays the game the right way. He understands that there's a game plan, and we want to try to stick to it for 60 minutes.
"Sometimes young players tend to forget about that and kind of go off in their own. He's not like that. He's pretty disciplined. . . . (Detroit's) a tough team to play against for your first game in the NHL, and he was good on the forecheck and strong on the puck in his one-on- one battles, and he did a good job defensively."
Landeskog played in all situations, including 1:14 on the penalty kill and 59 seconds on the power play.
"I had some chances. Our line was playing well. O'Reilly and Winnik fed me the puck a couple of times, but I just didn't seem to get it in there," Landeskog said. "I'm just going to stay patient here. I've got some confidence going."
Said O'Reilly: "It was the first game of the year, and you only go up from here. We're excited about our line."
Sacco played his top three lines evenly at even strength, and the top two weren't good enough. Matt Duchene's line combined for just four shots, none by right-winger Milan Hejduk.
"Duchene's line and Stastny's line, they need to be better. They know they need to be better," Sacco said.
COLORADO AT BOSTON 11 a.m. today, ALT, 950 AM
Spotlight on Tim Thomas: The one-time Avalanche goaltending prospect is the reigning winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the Stanley Cup Finals. Thomas, 37, was a ninth- round draft pick of the Quebec Nordiques in 1994 and attended the Avs' 1997 training camp before being released.
Avalanche: Semyon Varlamov, who was solid in a 36-save losing effort on opening night against Detroit, will start. . . . The Avs skated for 45 minutes Sunday, using the same lines and pairings from their 3-0 loss to the Red Wings. . . . The Avs' five-game road trip continues at Columbus on Wednesday, then at Ottawa on Thursday, Montreal on Saturday and Toronto next Monday. . . . Colorado's next home game is Oct. 20.
Bruins: They opened Thursday with a 2-1 loss at home to Philadelphia and defeated Tampa Bay 4-1 on Saturday. Tonight's game concludes a three-game homestand. . . . Thomas, the 2011 Vezina Trophy winner, is off to a terrific start, stopping 52-of-55 shots in two games (.945 save percentage). . . . Veteran defenseman Zdeno Chara is looking for his first point of the season.

New Armed Forces Reserve Center located at Iowa Army Ammunition Plant
October 24, 2011
MIDDLETOWN, Iowa -- Soldiers and the local community gave the new facilities housing the local National Guard and Army Reserves units, rave reviews.
A dedication ceremony and open house was held Oct. 18 for the Middletown Armed Forces Reserve Center and Field Maintenance Shop No. 15. The new center derived from the Base Realignment and Closure Commission's decision in 2005 to combine the local Army Reserves and National Guard facilities into one location.
Land inside the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant became that new location.
The building is home to the 831st Engineer Company and the 389th Engineer Company. The 389th currently has 85 members deployed to Iraq, where it has been since April.
Soldiers began the ceremony earlier in the day with a flag-lowering ceremony at the Burlington Armory, in Burlington, Iowa, followed by a 10-mile road march of the U.S. flag and company guidon to the reserve center.
Among the speakers at the event was U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa.
"Everyone here in Middletown should be very proud of this new facility. It represents our state's and our nation's commitment to our National Guard and Reserve Soldiers, and it is an investment in the future of Middletown," he said.
Brig. Gen. Janet Phipps, assistant adjutant general for the Iowa National Guard, spoke of the spirit of engineers in Southeast Iowa.
Col. Scott Ayers, Iowa National Guard director of installation management, applauded the various contractors and sub-contractors who finished the project that normally takes 18-to-24 months, in 15 months.
After the ceremony, guests and dignitaries where invited to tour the facilities during an open house.
Among those in attendance for IAAP included plant commander, Lt. Col. Michael Bruens and civilian executive assistant Jim Nelson.
Both said they hope IAAP employees will also be able to use the new facilities.
"At this time we have not entered into any formal discussions or agreements on use of the AFRC facilities," said Nelson. "There may be opportunities to explore such as utilizing the auditorium for Change of Command ceremony in case of bad weather, use of space for our Emergency Ops Center (EOC), use of fitness center, use of indoor firing range for qualifying.
"Conversely, we have an (Memorandum of Agreement) with the Army Reserve in place that allows them to use the IAAAP for training events. An agreement with the Iowa National Guard may also be formalized in the future."
Iowa AAP produces large caliber munitions including 120 mm tank rounds and 155 mm artillery rounds.

Cholpon's Group
Cholpon S., 37, is the leader of this group. She, like many other women in the country, was sure that there were very few employment opportunities for an uneducated women like her. The loan from Kiva helped her understand that she can invest needed funds in cattle breeding and qualify herself to superintend a dairy farm. Cholpon has small assets of cattle, but believes she is well trained for this business. She believes that the capital provided by Kiva lenders will be an investment that will become profitable with good management. She purchased some cattle two years ago for 3,000 soms because she knew it is the closest of all within reach for a woman with the proper abilities and training. She is also very interested in studying the care of domestic animals. She learned that cattle require great care especially when young, good food, warm and dry quarters, particularly in harsh wet winters. Cholpon is the mother of four children and satisfies their basic needs. Cholpon gathered and leads this group of like-minded fellows in order to request the loan for purchasing additional heads of livestock.

In advance of the holiday shopping season, Consumer Reports asked its readers to name their biggest holiday shopping pet peeves. Not surprisingly, doing so made their readers come off as whiny, ignorant bastards.
Don't want to end up in this line? Then stay home.
Bitching about crowded malls around Christmas and Thanksgiving is such a tired trope that not even the lamest of lame comedians would bother touching on it during a set. But bitching about people bitching about holiday shopping? Now that's fresh material!It'd be easy to pin all the blame on the people surveyed who chose overcrowding (29 percent) and difficulty parking (28 percent) as their biggest holiday shopping pet peeves. Trying to shoehorn your way into a mall anytime in the winter months is an experience designed to turn a saint into a sociopath. Anyone who still doesn't understand this deserves to find themselves on the bottom of one of those human misery piles that inevitably builds up after a terrified Wal-Mart employee opens the stockades at 5 A.M. on the day after Thanksgiving.
But to only blame the people who bitch is to miss the point. Bitching is what we do. It's our inalienable right, our favorite hobby, our preferred way to pass the time. It's in our marrow, for god's sakes.
No, in order to properly pass the blame around it's also necessary to fault Consumer Reports, the people who gave others a venue for their bitching. Did it really take a special-interest magazine to determine that your local, neighborhood Target somehow mysteriously relocates itself to the Seventh Circle of Hell come Christmas Eve? No, no it did not.
It took a lot of effort to come up with this survey. And it's going to take a lot more cash to reprint it as a full-page ad in USA Today. But what's most galling is that Consumer Reports is wasting all their time, energy and money in the name of helping their readers when they're avoiding the simplest fix of all: encouraging online shopping.
If Consumer Reports really wanted to help their readers they'd remind them that all the crap their kids can't live without is also available on Amazon. And all without the personal nightmare that is getting stuck behind an Octomom-sized stroller.
Confident in your pick of the Nintendo DS as a safe, kid-friendly hand-held gaming device, Consumer Reports? Then you should be equally confident that your readers are trusted enough to buy it with one-click.
Otherwise you have a dim view of your readers. And humanity. Which, ironically enough, sounds a lot like the symptoms suffered by those holiday shoppers you've been surveying. Too much time in the malls for you too?

Let me tell you moms, you have to be a VERY strong woman in order to deal with a preemie. Me and my husband only have 1 car and he needs it for his job, and having just given birth, you have no choice but to kiss your angel, and leave him there. Every impulse, every muscle, every bone, and even your own mind is moving toward your child to take that child home with you. It takes strength that only the LORD himself can give you to keep coming back into the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), and then only staying a bit, and then leaving your child there....knowing that they are getting stronger and better where they are! Many nights I had to be comforted by my husband, because I wanted my son with me at our house, but he was still in the NICU.
Before he was born I went into Preterm labor at 29 weeks but my water never broke, and had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks, then going home for 4 days and then my water breaks, so I am back into a different hospital which unfortunately made me stay in a labor bed for 2 weeks. Let's just say I was one unhappy soon-to-be-mom. The neonatologists yes, I had more than 1, were explaining to me the "worst case senerio" (spelling?). They were telling me that they might have to put a tub in his lungs to produce surfactant which helps the babies' lungs develop outside the womb so that my child would be able to breath. Then he'd have a CPAP machine over his nose giving him oxygen. Plus they might have to put a tube in his brain, because at this early state he might have a brain bleed. Then he'd need a tube in through his nose down to his stomach, because he wouldn't be ready to nurse. Then they gave me steroid shots in my upper thigh to quicken the development of my child's lungs. They gave 3 in a one month period - 2 from the first hospital which I was also on Mag, hate it with a passion, and then the "just to make sure" extra shot at the 2nd hospital.
My son was born at 33 weeks gestational age weighing 3 lbs and 15 oz, and 17.5 inches long. He only had the feeding tube, thank G-D, which he pulled out by himself at 2 and a half weeks there at the NICU. We got to take our son home after 3 weeks and 2 days. He weighed 5 lbs and 2 oz at discharge! Now he is 4 and a half months old, weighing 12 lbs and 1 oz, 23.5 inches long, has 2 teeth poking through (one tooth on either side of the top gums, not the front ones), and is eating stage 2 baby food along with a special type of formula. I hope other moms out there that have a preemie, can comment and we can share tips and advice with one another!

Ssenoga's star has been shining ever-brighter in the last seven years because he has owed it to himself to strike a chord with his clients using not only with his sense of humor, but also his good relationship skills. His success, however, all boils down to his diligence and steadfast entrepreneurial spirit.
This happily married father of six says he began his business with savings from his former fishmonger business. In a week he makes 80,000 Ugandan shillings as profits. He also operates a commercial motorcycle transportation business commonly referred to here as boda-boda.
Ssenoga's reckoning is that this loan will come in handy to financially help him to buy more bananas to sell and also to pay for repairs to his motorcycle.

Tree Fu Tom 3D Adventures is an iOS app that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to make it seem like characters from Tree Fu Tom are in a child's real-world environment. By simply holding your smartphone or tablet above a magazine or book, Tom and Twigs can be launched into the real world, allowing kids to walk, fly, or leaf board the characters across the room to land on objects. Kids can also make Tom and Twigs talk, rap, and more. Use the characters and commands to create your own Tree Fu Tom videos, or take pictures of the characters in your room, in your backyard, or on top of your dog and save them to your device's photo gallery. You can also share your pictures with friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, or via email, but a parent must turn on this feature by tapping and holding the parental control button on the homepage.
Playing the three mini games, each with two difficulty levels, will eventually unlock different features to the main 3D Adventures mode. In Nectar Collector, kids help the bees bring nectar to the hive. This game can be played in AR mode so that the bees and hive appear in a child's real-world environment. However, a parent must turn on that feature in the parental controls section.
The Slimeweed Defence game uses your device's gyroscope. Just move the device left and right to defend yourself from the spitting slimeweeds.
And The Aphids Rescue game challenges kids to activate the Super Net Go Spell and touch left and right on the screen to catch the baby aphids in the Super Net.
You can create multiple user profiles within the app so that kids can progress through the games at different rates. The app also keeps track of which user has the highest scores.
Fans of Tree Fu Tom will like being able to interact with Tom and Twigs in their real-world environment. The ability to control the characters and make videos and photos adds a lot of creativity to the play. The mini games are appropriately challenging for the youngest players, while older fans will be more interested in creating their own adventures in the 3D Adventures mode.
Tree Fu Tom 3D Adventures is for Tree Fu Tom fans ages 3-5. The app contains no links to other apps or ads.
This iOS app is compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 6.0 or later. However, due to heavy graphics and processing requirements, Crane Media recommends the app only for use on iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 5th generation, iPad 2, or newer devices.
If using the Nectar Collector game in AR mode, it's recommended that children be supervised when playing the game on iPad. The larger, heavier device means it's more easily susceptible to being dropped as kids play.

This ottoman was exactly what I was looking for to put in my master bedroom closet. It is not too large, and the top is hinged. You can't tell from the photo, but the hinges are high-quality metal hinges that hold the top open. The top is padded and upholstered nicely. My only complaint is that it is a little brighter gold than in the photo, but it is a nice color.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
These are beautiful! I put them in front of my fireplace. I am so loving Overstock. Arrived promptly and in great condition. Thank you Overstock!
I needed something for my apartment bathroom to store extra towels and such. I also needed a vanity type seat for applying make-up and doing my hair. This is the perfect size and it is as stylish as can be. I did add a pillow to the seat to add more color and give my tush a little extra padding. I thought I might need wheels added so it could move easier since I don't have much strength to pick things up. But it already had glider-type attachments so the ottoman moves easily on my tile floor. I looked around in stores and online at many options, and I am so glad I chose this product.
Bought 3 of these. Loved the construction. Loved the other 2 and kept them. But the color of this one is more yellow than gold and the material looks sort of messy/unrefined. There was also a dark stain in the material on the top. I returned this one and overstock was great about the return. It was easy. Overall, in a differently decorated space, could be a good fit. This would have been my only textured piece in a mosty leather living room. The stain was an interesting fact since this one came In a different box than the other 2
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Actual is quite yellow.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Functional quality good. Material looked cheap. Variation in color and a dark stain on the top.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Everything except the color was accurate

Ted Simons: About 55% of Phoenix homeowners have a mortgage that's higher than the value of their house. That's just one indicator of a real estate market that's hurting, but as David Majure reports, it's a market that still shows signs of life.
David Majure: Moving in, moving up. Moving out. The great American ideal of owning a home has taken some hits in recent years.
Elliott Pollack: The American dream has taken some left to the jaw. It's taken lefts to the jaw that has left the American consumer dazed but not out of the game.
David Majure: But the game has changed. In 2005 at the height of the hyper market just about anyone could get a loan.
Elliott Pollack: The classic example is there was some guy in California who picked cantaloupes for a living and made $14,000 a year and he qualified for a $700,000 house. Insanity. That is what got us here. That type of insanity.
David Majure: With so many buyers, the supply of houses plunged, and prices skyrocketed.
Elliott Pollack: We are on the other side of that now, where qualification requirements are so difficult, that you really have to be qualified.
David Majure: But if you are qualified, have a stable income and good credit, now is a great time to buy. Interest rates are low, and so are prices.
Jay Butler: Definitely they are. You can buy nice, family homes that have a couple years ago were 400,000, in the 200,000 range.
Kristen Myers: I'm going to be showing a four bedroom, three bath, in the main house with a one bedroom, one bath Casita. At the peak of the market this would go between 450-500. We had it listed for 235 before we got a contract on the short sale. Upstairs we have four bedrooms…
David Majure: Kirsten Meyers, a realtor in the north Phoenix community of Anthem, is seeing multiple offers on homes in the area.
Kristen Myers: I've had them recently with four, five, and six offers. And it can be a challenge because most of the offers are above list price. Bulk of the inventory seems to be short sales and bank-owned properties. Back when the market first started to go down, our inventory went up over 800 homes. We are now down under 140 homes active on the market right now. And that's in Anthem country club and Parkside combined. That's all price ranges.
David Majure: Lori Blaine is trying to buy this house in anthem.
Lori Blaine: We're trying to upgrade a little. We filled up our house really quickly.
David Majure: Her family's current home is under water. Instead of selling and losing money she hopes to rent it and move into a bigger place it.
Lori Blaine: makes me nervous to do this, but you really -- I want to make sure I'm getting what I'm paying for and that the market is not going to drop any lower. It's a scary time financially as far as the real estate.
David Majure: The metro Phoenix real estate market is scary for a lot of people. Economic uncertainties make even highly qualified buyers a little leery.
Elliott Pollack: The reason they're leery is uncertainty in the job market, they probably saw their 401(k) hit, they saw -- they see the house they had or the house their parents own December mated in terms of value. And they're nervous.
Jay Butler: There's a group who believes the bottom has not been reached yet. And that they don't want to make that commitment. I'm convinced we're close to the bottom. If not at the bottom.
Elliott Pollack: If you take a look at this green line, which is housing prices, it went way up and came way down, housing prices have been flat for the past four to six months, which to me says we're probably at the bottom.
David Majure: Investors must think we're pretty close.
Elliott Pollack: About 40% of homes are being purchased by investors. They're really providing a need.
David Majure: In some cases they rent them out to victims of foreclosure or people who had to short sale their homes.
Elliott Pollack: Allowing people to stay in the same neighborhood, same school district, kid keeps the same friends, they're very stable people who were caught in a bad situation.
David Majure: A bad situation that will get better. And while the American dream has been bloodied and bruised, it's far from being down for the count.
Ted Simons: Joining me now to share her insights into the valley's housing market is Catherine Reagor, she's the real estate and growth reporter for "The Arizona Republic." Good to see you again. What do you see happening to the American dream of homeownership?
Catherine Reagor: You know, there are a lot of renters right now. And a lot more people who want to rent. Because number one, they don't know what their jobs, jobs are mobile. Homes are not mobile. So you don't know. But our homes are selling. We are more than 9,000 last month, which is up. Most of them are investors. And then they are renting them out. But seeing younger groups, not wanting to buy, holding back, so homeownership has changed. It's not what it was for us 10 years ago.
Ted Simons: And we've got how many, how long has this housing crisis been going on?
Catherine Reagor: Five years. It's our five-year anniversary of pain.
Ted Simons: And is there any end in sight of the pain?
Catherine Reagor: Well, a lot of the indicators are going in the right way. Pre-foreclosures are down, down significantly, like half of what they were two years ago. Foreclosures are down. The number of pending foreclosures in the system, down almost a half what they were a couple years ago.
Ted Simons: We've talked about this before -- are the banks hold OK to these things? Are we going to see a flood of this stuff coming later on?
Catherine Reagor: We were concerned about that. This funny word, scary word, shadow inventory, where homes that haven't been foreclose order that could be, and are in the system and the homeowners are behind. We are in better shape than Las Vegas, Sacramento, Orlando, for shadow inventories than those areas. So we don't have as much at that scare looming. And the number of homeowners under water is dropping because they're getting out. And that's how it is. It's not the home loan modifications that are saving us. It's that if you couldn't afford your home, you're probably gone by now, and you're renting.
Ted Simons: What is this doing to the renters' market?
Catherine Reagor: It is getting much more competitive. And boy, if you can -- those foreclosure sales on those -- the courthouse steps, they are buyers from around the world. Because they can rent. And they can buy a home for $60,000, rent it for $800 and make more on their money than they can make in the bank or in the course of the stock market.
Ted Simons: You mentioned $60-70,000, I think I heard jaws dropping in the studio. The median price, average price, both, are they still falling, are they -- what have we got?
Catherine Reagor: We have all these prices, and they're measured different ways. If you just look at the median price of used existing homes, it has held steady at 115,000, I know that's a sad number, but held steady for six months. That is the most stability in prices we have had in a long time. Now, some groups, including the realtors groups are saying we could dip again, and we could have a triple-dip. But the people who are looking at the numbers every day do not see that, and the investors buying those homes, at the foreclosure auctions, bidding wars. And we saw from the video, multiple offers. Homes selling for regular asking prices. And with all these other indicators going the right way, listings are way down. It doesn't make sense that we would have another big drop. It just doesn't. Who knew what was going to happen in '05-06, but this doesn't make sense for another big drop.
Ted Simons: With everything you're seeing, how does that impact the new home market?
Catherine Reagor: New home market is struggling. Boom 64 thousand now 13 thousand. Some interesting things coming out. Builders competing with foreclosures by smaller homes, and the new thing is, green homes. Environmental homes. And if you don't have to pay for the extras in an environmental home, and your utility bill is half of what it would be in a foreclosure home, people are buying. And home builders are seeing that. That's our new kind of trend niche. But it's going to be slow for a while. We've got to get rid of the home building for a while. We've got to get rid of the foreclosures.
Ted Simons: A couple things being kicked around in Washington regarding changes in policy, one involves the interest rate deductions, which have been a tradition for home buyers. And there is some talk, because of the deficit, to go ahead and take those away. How much of an impact would that be?
Catherine Reagor: Huge. And please don't do it. Don't you feel -- I feel like please don't do it. I need that. It would be huge. It would impact home buying, and the deficit is a horrible problem, but it would also impact -- how much money do people save on that? And when your tax refund comes back, and you're spending that money, and of course the realtors, the home builders and their powerful lobbyists are fighting it tooth and nail.
Ted Simons: Another idea was 20% down, requiring 20% down on home purchases. First of all, is that viable, and second, if so, what happens?
Catherine Reagor: You know, when I bought my first home I didn't have 20% to put down. Did you? I don't know, very few people did. It seems like a great thing to think you're getting a home -- they have a stake, they're not going to walk away 40. But on the other hand, how many people have 20% down?
Ted Simons: So bottom line here, I think I've asked you this almost every time you were on, are we seeing some sort of light at the edge of the forest?
Catherine Reagor: I think we are. The analysts I talk to say yes. If 115 is bouncing around the bottom, we're on the bottom, but the other indicators are improving. So that shows when I'm -- what I'm hearing, we could possibly see slight price increases this year.
Ted Simons: All right. Many let's see what gives. Good to see you. Thanks for joining us.
Catherine Reagor: Thank you.

Hello everyone, I bought an mp3 player GoGear, SA4RGA04KN/12 model, on which I had already loaded a lot of music, but by mistake (I do not know how) I deleted all content, including MP3 and file management.
Can you help? I downloaded from the website of Philips player software, but it only allows management via PC, and I would like to put the folders that the Player had default (Music etc.).
Thank you so much.

The JBL MSC1 Monitor System Controller with Room Mode Correction combines essential monitor system features and JBL's next-generation RMC technology to control your LSR system and tune it to overcome low-frequency problems in the recording room. This RMC technology will work with any studio monitor system in any room, so no matter what speaker system you own, you can have a truly calibrated environment fine-tuned to give you your best mixes.
As the hub of your system, the MSC1 controls the monitoring of 3 stereo input sources, such as computer workstation, mixing console, electronic musical instrument, CD, or personal MP3 player.
The MSC1's primary speaker "A" outputs include a level control, monitor EQ, and RMC Room Mode Correction to tune the monitors to the room. Selecting the "B" outputs assigns the volume control and input routing to a second set of speakers. Subwoofer controls let you add a sub to the "A" speaker system, with a dedicated level control, and a choice of bass management crossover settings.
The MSC1 headphone output and independent level control let you send a headphone feed to a performer or monitor using headphones in the control room.
Control Center Software
In addition to managing RMC Calibration, the MSC1 Control Center Software provides fine-control of monitor EQ, speaker alignment delay, subwoofer balance, and bass-management crossover settings. Control Center Software is included with the MSC1. Control Center is compatible with XP and Vista 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. Macintosh software is in development.

Good counter example from Cédric Champeau on the mailing list:
In Groovy (and generally in a dynamically typed language), as far as I know, there's no reason why the return value should be the same type of the injected value. Here's a simple example :
(1..10).inject(1){ x,y -> x/y }
1 is an int, but the result of the injection will be a BigDecimal.
The signature that I gave covers this.
Yes, T would be Number in this case but more generally, could be Object.
In this example, yes, it would work, but we could also imagine an inject() that takes a String as initial value, and returns a Number. Or even a GString and returning a String.
So this is a restriction to some currently possible use cases with inject().
Not applied to the 1_7_X branch as originally planned as it doesn't have the prerequisite Closure generics changes.
Reopening since Guillaume reverted the commit.
Here is a patch for trunk, very similar but not identical to Paul's (now reverted) commit. Solves all problems that I'm aware of.
With my patch, adding the evil "foo" method posted by Guillaume on the mailing list...
public static Integer foo(Integer self) { Collection c = new ArrayList(); Number x = inject(c, (Integer) 3, new Closure<BigInteger>(c) { void doCall() { } }); return self; }
...still produces a compile error, but this error can now be avoided by casting to Number instead of Integer. I don't know why the compiler needs this assistance, but I think the patch is nevertheless safe and should go in.
Peter, as per your email I originally tried something very close to your patch. The only difference was that I removed the two casts to (T) as Intellij was saying they were redundant but then it didn't compile. Hence my earlier variation. But with the two casts, it compiles fine and seems to be the correct way to go. I'll apply the patch.
The other difference is in the signature: Closure<V> vs. Closure<? extends T>. For some reason I don't understand, only with the former signature can the evil foo method be made to compile by casting to Number instead of Integer.
I've seen quite a few cases where IDEA is wrong about generics. Eclipse does a much better job in this regard.
I think the lesson here is that Java generics leaves much to be desired (but we all knew that). The added Java integration test looks like this:
Collection<Integer> c = Arrays.asList(2, 4, 5, 20); Number initial = BigDecimal.ZERO; Closure<? extends Number> closure = new Closure<BigDecimal>(c) { BigDecimal doCall(BigDecimal total, Integer next) { return total.add(BigDecimal.ONE.divide(new BigDecimal(next))); } }; assertTrue(DefaultTypeTransformation.compareEqual(BigDecimal.ONE, inject(c, initial, closure)));
Several bits of this you would think are possible to simplify but currently you can't or the Java compiler gets upset. Nonetheless, this example illustrates the recommended way of using the current API.

Pantheon Terminal CSD Mockup by TheVirtualDragonWatch
©2014-2016 TheVirtualDragon
Quick mockup of what Pantheon Terminal (part of the elementary OS project) could look like with Gnome 3.10's Client Side Decoration. Double click for a better resolution.
And before you ask, I really don't know where I got the wallpaper off.
why do you use gnome D:
I use xfce, I might switch to kwin
I use xfce, I might switch to kwin
More...non-traditional UI which I find to be faster for overall workflow (more keyboard operated elements) and Gtk 3 use over Gtk 2. It's memory consumption is also lower than KWin. And I just like it.
was that made with inkscape? do you have the svg over there to share? : )
Minimalistic :3
Cool, looks Firefox-y.
Yeah, it wasn't meant to be a whole new innovation in terminals, just a test to see what it would look like XD
nice, its me @thebitstick from twitter

I couldn't find the instructions for the mix ( pt to H2o) I called your customer service line and they told me a pint to 3 gallons of water. I hope this is correct. I used a pint straight out of the gallon.....wow, did I get results. Thank you for being there to answer questions for the not so informed.

Would you restrict your if they don't follow your rules?
You're the parent and it's your house. If they ignore your rules, make them leave and don't invite them back until they give you a real apology and say they will correct their behavior.
Unplug the damn TV!
And yes, if someone cannot respect your parenting choices you restrict their access to your children so speak up and get loud about what you want for your children in your home
I love how God always tells these people exactly what they want to hear. He never says, "Stop being an asshole!". BaileyO

~Mother to Wynken, Blynken & Nod~
Why can't your child take the bus, have you walk her to school or have your DH drive her? How would she get to school if MIL kicked the bucket? It is ridiculous that as an adult you cannot even get your own child to school without depending on your MIL. Of course, since you cannot even put your foot down and shut down the blatant disrespect in your own home to your face, it is no wonder you cannot reason a way to get your kid to school without MIL handling the responsibility for you.
I'm not saying I hate you, but I would unplug your life support to charge my phone
Oh- man. I just. I'm. I can't.

"Releasing doves and a sushi station are not basic human rights." -- MollySaysWhat
Why can you not drive?
Why is your child not walking to school or taking a bus?
The reason you are having these problems is because you rely on your MIL for help. You also see them way to much which you could solve if you didn't use your MIL for transportation.
If you can solve the transportation issue you can cut visits down to a normal once a month or less type of relationship.
They are over everyday. Drive me crazy!!
I can't drive, so my MIL has to take my DD to school and bring her home.
WTF? Well good luck restricting them from visits, or getting them to follow rule when you are using them to take care of your child's daily need.

Are You A Grexican Or A Grexicant? Three Out Of Five Say 'Yes'
While InTrade has the odds of Grexit by year-end at 40% (off from its 60% highs), when it comes to the professional money, it seems the odds are higher. In Citigroup's client survey of credit professionals, they find 62% of investors sure that Greece would not survive in the Eurozone until the end of next year. With 45% expecting Grexit this year and a further 17% expecting it by the end of next, that leaves a still remarkably hopeful 38% of managers who believe Greece will never leave. Are you a Grexican or a Grexican't?
Source: Citi
- advertisements -
...I'm a Mexican. And I'm working at a Donkey Show, being more productive than a Greek.
Grexit...how we love our clever creations.
So Grexit and then....in a synchonistic rhyme...
Corexit to follow?
Greece may be done and dusted but the exit will eb after the Olympics. Perhaps soon after. The Olympic Farce is a huge marker in every sense this year. Turning point.
Us or them, this way or that, my way or NO Way time, up-coming!
This just verifies how many wishful thinking morons there are in finance.
All the "portmanteau" , from Tyler lately, keeps me glued to Z.H. .
Fuck it - I'm a Grexitmust.
Either shortly after their re-elections either because they're unable to form a government or because the troika puts the new government all-in or never because the cost of a Grexit will only go up as it has been for over two years now.
They will never be allowed to leave - no matter what. The whole point of the Euro was to eventually force the continent into a Federalized government where power could be consolidated.
They will not waste this crisis not achieving their goal.
I think I am more of a Germican.
"Leaving the EU" - the only winning move in this game.
ok..just an oops
Well, the southern ez says this year, the north says not at all, so 50/50 for ez.
The UK, says the euro is fucked, like, tomorrow, because LLoyd's said so today.
The $?? Doesn't give two shits either way, it's next..
Definitely Grexican.
gPap sez they can't leave
it would cost the EU too much!
but he's not running, V-man is; the polls look like anything could happen, including nothing
one side sez leave; the other sez stay and they're waiting for angela, who may be envious of DSK at this point
nothing new, but here's the link to last week's polls
I don't think they'll leave.
Voters don't want it, political parties don't want it. They don't want austerity either, but details can be discussed later.
The EU will come up with some shitty program/plan that will buy them another six months, then the US will do another round of QA, then China will cut their RR and so on and so forth. Greece could end up failing to fullfill some Troika program conditions, but the Eurocrats will change the rules so that they stay. 3% of GDP is pocket change to pay for the European dream!
Since 2008 there hasn't been a single thing that happened by itself. Even LB happened because they allowed it to happen. If "they" want Greece to stay in, even a negative GDP will be called fantastic progress.
Show must go on.
The Euro is a sugar castle in a rainstorm. The only question is whether Greece is gone before it finally implodes.
This situation reminds me of the patient in hospital who was telling a fellow patient that six months ago the doctor gave him six months to live. The other patient asked him how he managed to still be alive. He replied that the doctor had come past that morning and asked him to pay his account. When he told him that he had no money to pay, the doctor gave him another six months to live.
That's Greece at the moment.
Where is the Kick the Can option?
the 1.25 handle has given way....1.20 cannot be far behind....trying here to find another good entry.......jesus......on one hand, a market entry anywhere could be "smart". On the other, one could get their tit in a short wringer....
Budgets? We don't need no stinkin' Budgets!
"I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle"
"I'm on the Grexican radio"
A country in the outmost Southeastern part of the EU has grasped the headlines for quite some time. With only 2% of the EU's economy and just 2.5% of its debt it became the "Witch" that is haunted by puritan Northern Europeans. It is claimed as the epicenter of laziness, lust and unproductively for the whole of the Continent, a bad example that pious Northerns should be feared and loath at the same time.
This country is Greece and it must be punished! But is it really the witch hunt that has started in 2009 the most stupid move ever made in the entire European history? Is it worth to blame Greeks for the lonely dark winters up in the North and for the depression syndrome that cripples the lives of dozens of millions northern Europeans, as if Greece makes the weather?
In reality the Northern Europeans risk of pushing Greece into the broader global community where it is going to be free from investing heavily in its defense of the Eastern gates of Europe and it will bring about the greatest change in the balance of powers that Europe has felt since the collapse of the Berlin war. This time Germany will not be re-united, rather it will has to pay a dear price for its energy security. Netherlands will not become richer; rather it will have to pay from its own pocket in order to save itself from the flood of narcotics and Asian immigrants.
Austria will not be greater, rather it will have to deal with powder-keg named "Balkans" that has markets Vienna's history.
How Northern Europe shoot its leg, in order to satisfy the populist sentiments of an electorate being used to the fairy tales of "bad witches and pious farmers".
Panagiotis Traianou answers to many of the aforementioned questions and gives a proper solution on his article entitled "GREECE RANKS AMONG THE WITCHES OF SALEM"
Greeks must decide if they want a stable currency (yes...the Euro) or if they want to flounder for years with a squishy drachma. The price for a stable currency is political good behavior...and the Greeks may not have it in them. We here in the USA do not have it in us that's for sure...and we will soon be paying the price for our very Greek-like profligacy.

WebMD Answers
Anal sex has a number of health risks. Anal intercourse is the riskiest form of sexual activity for several reasons, including the following:
Anal sex can carry other risks as well. Oral contact with the anus can put both partners at risk for hepatitis, herpes, HPV, and other infections. For heterosexual couples, pregnancy can occur if semen is deposited near the opening to the vagina.
Even though serious injury from anal sex is not common, it can occur. Bleeding after anal sex could be due to a hemorrhoid or tear, or something more serious such as a perforation (hole) in the colon. This is a dangerous problem that requires immediate medical attention. Treatment involves a hospital stay, surgery, and antibiotics to prevent infection.

- Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: EEP) subsidiary Enbridge Rail (North Dakota) LLC has agreed to a three-year deal for railcar loading of Bakken shale crude at Enbridge's Berthold, N.D., terminal beginning in May 2013, with volumes ramping up to 35,000 to 40,000 barrels per day (BPD) by November. The crude oil will be delivered to Phillips 66 refineries on the West and East Coasts, and the company may also pursue opportunities to send it to its Gulf Coast refineries.
- Targa Resources Partners LP (NYSE:NGLS) has agreed to provide rail unloading and barge loading services in Tacoma, Wash., The five-year agreement, which began in late 2012, allows advantaged U.S. or Canadian crude oil to be unloaded from railcars at Targa's Tacoma terminal and transloaded onto barges for delivery to the Phillips 66 Ferndale, Wash., refinery. The facility also allows for delivery into the San Francisco, Calif., refinery, where crude imported from outside of North America could be replaced. Currently, the terminal is capable of receiving manifest rail (individual cars), but as volumes ramp up it will transition to unit train capability this summer. At full volume, the delivery capability is estimated to be approximately 30,000 BPD.
- Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MMP) has signed an agreement to transport advantaged crude on Magellan's pipelines near Phillips 66's refinery in Ponca City, Okla. The project will replace West Texas Intermediate crude from Cushing, Okla., with virgin crude from the nearby Mississippian Lime play. Small volumes are expected to be delivered to the refinery by late 2013, with approximately 20,000 BPD anticipated by the project's completion date in January 2014. Phillips 66 is also investing in its own transportation assets in Oklahoma to transport an additional 40,000 BPD of Mississippian Lime crude to the Ponca City Refinery, and at the refinery to accept crude from the Magellan project.
