Just as it's far too early to declare Barack Obama a one-term president, so it's too soon to declare his foreign policy incompetent. However, it certainly hasn't been characterized by brilliance and just this month he made another decision that made me wonder where his head is.
Eight educators learned of their selection this week as 2010 Virginia Regional Teachers of the Year during surprise classroom visits made by their division superintendents, including Liberty High School science teacher Jami N. Key. Key was visited by a group of Central Office and School Board members during an AP Biology class Friday morning at LHS.
Key was this past year's Bedford County Teacher of the Year.
Due to circumstances beyond their control, 2nd Flyte will not appear at this year's Friday night Centerfest concert, according to event organizers. Opening for the event this Friday at the Farmer's Market stage will now be Terry Day from 7-8 p.m. and The Sam Austin Band will have the stage from 8—11 p.m. Gates open at 6 p.m. Adult admission is $10, children 12 and under are free.
One day, when I was a younger (and thirstier) man, I stopped at a local tavern.
A sign on the wall caught my eye. It read, "Free beer tomorrow."
Staunton River had no Hatfield to counter Liberty's McCoy.
Playing in a town noted for its beds, Jefferson Forest stayed awake the entire game, taking Bassett, 32-7.
Jefferson Forest welcomed E.C. Glass to the Seminole neighborhood, giving the Hilltoppers a swell housewarming gift.
Some who are associated with the Liberty Minutemen program are already looking forward to the September 25 game at Amherst.
Bedford's Volunteer Fire Department had six men at the firehouse when they were dispatched to a fire at Olde Liberty Station at 11:36 Friday morning. According to Brad Creasy, the fire chief, they got two trucks there in a few minutes. The firehouse is on one end of Bedford Avenue and the historic train station and restaurant is on the opposite end.
Over the next several weeks staff from the Bedford County Public Schools Central Office will be compiling a list of possible capital improvement plans to present to the Board of Supervisors this year. At least one of those plans is likely to include building a new gymnasium at Bedford Primary School.
The Bedford County School Board held a work session last Thursday to talk about the school system's facilities as part of the process of developing a CIP list. The hope is that list will be included in the overall county CIP plan for budget purposes.

Erick's Group
On his plantations, he works hand-in-hand with his wife and his employees. They work together to produce high quality food products quickly. Erick would like to get another loan to help with his labor on the farm and buy more produce from other farmers.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Denverjhawk has spoke with WR commit Chris Omigie and has a good report on that encounter over at Rock Chalk Talk:
"... expectations for his time at Kansas he said he hopes to come in and play as soon as possible. His biggest goal however is to, 'Win the Big 12 as a team and individually help to accomplish that.' Chris particularly is looking forward to a matchup with Oklahoma although he said it seems that Kansas, 'doesn't like Missouri too much so it will be fun to play them too.'"
To bookend that perfectly, The Shiver put together a nice piece on WR commit Erick McGriff:

Vodafone Moves Closer to Indian IPO
LONDON—Vodafone Group PLC said Wednesday that it has reduced its shareholding in its Indian operations to adhere to the nation's foreign direct investment rules, paving the way for a possible initial public offering of the unit.
The world's biggest mobile operator by revenue said in a brief statement that Piramal Healthcare has agreed to buy a 5.5% stake in Vodafone Essar Ltd. for £400 million ($652.8 million), reducing Vodafone's holding in the Indian unit to 69.8%. The widely expected sale was necessary to adhere to India's foreign direct investment rules that at least 26% of the business needs to be Indian-owned.
Vodafone bought out Essar Group, its joint venture partner in Indian mobile phone group Vodafone-Essar Ltd. on July 1, after announcing the deal at the end of March, taking its direct ownership of the Indian company to 75.3%.
The remainder is owned by entities that are majority-owned and controlled by Vodafone's other Indian partners, in which the U.K.-based company has minority interests.
Vodafone Chief Executive Vittorio Colao earlier this year said an IPO on the Mumbai bourse was "tempting" to extract value out of the business, but cautioned that a clear regulatory framework was needed first.
Vodafone has had a difficult time in India since entering the market in 2007. The group is fighting Indian tax authorities over a demand for up to $2.5 billion related to a possible capital gains tax charge on the company's $11.2 billion purchase of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.'s stake in what is now Vodafone Essar in 2007.
The deal involved the sale of a Cayman Islands company owned by Hutchison to a Vodafone holding company in the Netherlands, so Vodafone claims no capital gains tax was due in India since neither company involved in the purchase was Indian. Vodafone also believes that even if tax were due in India, it is the seller, Hutchison, not the buyer that should pay. The case is being closely watched by foreign companies investing in India who are looking for clarity on the country's tax regime.
Vodafone last year booked a £2.3 billion impairment charge on its operations in India amid tough competition and a fierce price war.

GTD in the Era of Economic Uncertainty
Date: Monday, February 02, 2009 by GTD Times Staff
Contributed by Pat Smith, CEO of The David Allen Company. He has worked in the HR/OD/OE field for over twenty years, and is considered an expert in the field of organizational development, change management and leadership development. Pat can be reached at pat.smith at davidco dot com
In Leadership in the Era of Economic Uncertainty: The New Rules for Getting the Right Things Done in Difficult Times (McGraw-Hill), renowned management consultant Ram Charan offers executives a detailed guide to surviving the worst financial and business crisis since the Great Depression. The key, Charan says, is "management intensity"-deep immersion in the operational details of the business and the outside world, combined with hands-on involvement and follow-through.
Plans and progress must be revisited almost daily. Big-picture, strategic-level thinking cannot be abandoned, but every leader now must be involved, visible, and in daily communication with employees, customers, and suppliers. In this world, everyone needs detailed, up-to-date, and unfiltered information. And they have to act decisively when trouble looms. "If you don't prepare for the worst," says Charan, "you will put both your company and career at risk."
Management Intensity and HR
HR has been pretty intensely consumed with issues related to talent management over the past decade. This has been largely as a response to economic and demographic factors. The economy has been booming (meaning a higher demand for skilled workers) and the birth rate has fallen (meaning a decreasing supply of them).
In response, many organizations have increased their focus on attraction, retention and development–to put it another way, getting the right people in the right seats and keeping them there.
Major initiatives such as career development, employee engagement and retention, workplace satisfaction, and mentoring have been widely implemented to support the achievement of talent management goals.
As I sit here in January 2009, however, recession once again dominates the business headlines, and in boardrooms across the country executives are meeting to discuss falling revenues and budget cuts. Now comes a study from Leadership IQ, a training and research firm, which bears out the conventional wisdom. Three-quarters of layoff survivors say their productivity has declined while customer service has worsened. The survey also found that 69 percent of the remaining workers believe the quality of the company's products or services has declined since the layoffs.
The company's survey of 4,172 workers who kept their jobs after a layoff also found that an astonishing 64% of surviving workers say the productivity of their colleagues has also declined.
Getting the right people remains critical, but in the short term, hiring will decrease and employees will become more security-conscious and thus less eager to jump ship. There will be a renewed focus on costs, and that includes salary costs—-specifically productivity per employee (be that in terms of revenue, profit or production units).
HR to the Rescue?
Inherent in the current economic condition is an opportunity for organizations (and HR in particular) to expand their focus beyond attraction and retention to also include productivity.
Now that the new economic reality has set in, leaders have an extraordinary opportunity to add new value to the enterprise by focusing on initiatives to increase productivity and efficiency in the midst of economic downturn. In this case, that equates to what people do—and how they do it.
GTD as a Possible Solution
As the world's leading skill set for personal and organizational productivity, one unique aspect of GTD is that it can be immediately applied to the current projects an individual is working on. For this reason, personal and organizational productivity can be immediately impacted. In our various GTD seminars, most of the work that participants work on is real world project work. This ensures that every participant departs fully enabled to immediately be more productive—both on the job and at home.
Another important aspect of GTD is its scalability. In support of a company-wide productivity initiative, GTD's productivity behaviors can be easily scaled across even a global multinational organization. GTD is commonly mapped to an organization's core competencies to ensure that productivity is systematically supported by the various HR systems.
Finally, a distinctive feature of GTD is the amazing residual benefit that participants experience in their personal lives. GTD offers the participant and the organization tremendous value – not only because of the improved quality of work life that often lasts for the rest of one's career, but also because of the increase in personal satisfaction, stress-relief, and productivity that people practicing GTD experience. For organizations, this translates to more productivity in troubled times as well as more satisfied employees.
2 Responses to "GTD in the Era of Economic Uncertainty"
It is well-known that productivity goes down dramatically after layoffs –however I don't think its a technical problem, to be met with a technical (new method, new protocol etc) solution. This drop in productivity is I believe (and I have some data to support this), the direct result of survivor guilt in those left behind, in those "surviving." We did an experimental online study using a story where a successful manager is being advanced, in a time when the economy is settling into a recession and people are being laid off. In this story a second character, also a successful manager, is laid off.
I can report here that the manager who remains feels weighted down with guilt, as if it was her fault that she remained while the second person lost her job. The feeling off survivor guilt was present even when the second character was someone who had been an unethical rival of the main character.
The point here is that those left behind, those who survive the lay-offs and all the downsizing happening now, find it difficult to let themselves engage in work positively. It may be a good idea to introduce GTD but I would also get the word out that it is normal to feel survivor guilt in this situation, and that it is not their (the survivors) fault that people –some of whom they are close to, and some who are distant– lose their jobs. Helping the survivors realize this is perhaps the most important thing in returning to a higher level of productivity.
Right to the point, Lynn. For some people work is family, so not getting laid off is like being the one that Sophie chose. Just saw this article on survivor guilt afrer I read your comment, so I came back to post.

The good news: Samsung says that Froyo is now available for all Galaxy S phones in the UK. The bad news: You still have to use that bastardized Kies software to download and install, and that's just ridiculous. Still, Froyo is better than no Froyo, but they're really making us work hard for it. Snag it all at the source link. [Samsung via @SamsungUK]
Froyo now available for all Samsung Galaxy S phones in the UK
Reader comments
Froyo now available for all Samsung Galaxy S phones in the UK
I guess my Fascinate will be getting Froyo just about the time everyone else is enjoying their Honeycomb.
..and in other new, the G1 will be getting Gingerbread next week. Come on Verizon!
me reading that tweet.
sarcasm "great froyo on another phone yippee"
excitement "holy shit its on all samsung galaxy s phones! best xmas present ever!"
in the UK "fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Not sure which UK carrier they're talking about here, but Froyo has been available for Galaxy S phones in most of the world for several months. US carriers and a couple others are dragging their feet like a mofo. Probably because the US versions have a lot of customizations and custom software and they had to wait for the base i9000 froyo firmware to be completed before starting the customization work. Still though, Samsung just bit off more than they can chew by releasing so many different versions of this phone worldwide.
this is getting to reallly annoying, i had to switch to verizon from sprint and went from the Evo to the Fascinate and there isnt a day that goes by i don't miss the Evo....is it to much to update the phone in a timely manner. it tells me they don't care about there customers. i wish sprint was available in my new town and i would get rid if the fascinate in a heart beat or maybe I'll just go to the droid x .....
@ derryj3, apparently you haven't read that the update on the 26th is not happening.
Oh the humanity! LOL
Ahh, I remember when these threads were full of people crying the same thing about hTc. It's your carrier holding it back fellas btw not Samsung.
I especially love the people who say they are going to file a suit against Samsung. Good luck with that. ;-)

Sandusky shower date change may aid PSU officials
HARRISBURG, Pa. One of the two charges against two Penn State administrators will likely be dismissed now that prosecutors have come forward to change by one year the date they allege former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulted a boy in the team's showers, legal experts said.
Five weeks ago, the attorney general's office argued in a court filing concerning the charge of failing to properly report suspected child abuse against Tim Curley and Gary Schultz that the statute of limitations had not expired because the incident involving "Victim 2" occurred in March 2002.
On Tuesday, Sandusky case Judge John Cleland granted prosecutors' request to amend that offense date to February 2001.
Under a timeline about the statute of limitations that was included in the March 30 filing by state prosecutors, the failure-to-report charge now appears to fall outside the time limit by nine months.
"Based on the prosecution's own pleading, the statute of limitations is 10 years from the event," Tom Farrell, Schultz's lawyer, said in a statement Friday. "There is no dispute that the statute of limitations has expired on the failure to report count."
Asked whether that means the charge will be dismissed, the attorney general's office declined to comment.
University of Pittsburgh law professor David A. Harris predicted the failure-to-report part of the case will soon be dropped.
"We generally don't have, in the law, things that are as clear as this, but here we do have one," Harris said. "A statute of limitations means that too much time has gone by to prosecute, and they are to be enforced to not put people to trial unfairly."
Barb Zemlock, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said prosecutors should move quickly to withdraw charges they cannot pursue so that "all involved - the prosecution and the defense - can focus on the issues that are before the court, and not those that are no longer viable."
The failure-to-report charges under the state's Child Protective Services Law are classified as summary offenses, carrying up to 90 days in jail and a $200 fine.
Curley, the school's athletic director, who is now on leave, and Schultz, the now-retired vice president for business and finance, also face felony perjury counts for allegedly lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky. The perjury charges have potential penalties of seven years in prison and $15,000 fines.
The perjury charges pertain to much more recent events, when the men testified before a grand jury early last year. Their lawyers are seeking dismissal of the perjury counts on different grounds.
In seeking the date change, prosecutors said only that "specific and authenticated findings" led them to conclude that the shower incident occurred in February 2001.
It's not clear what effect, if any, the date change will have on Sandusky's prosecution on 52 criminal counts for the alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years, claims he has consistently denied. Sandusky's lawyers are not arguing the statute of limitations has run in his case. His trial is currently scheduled for June 5.
Crawford County prosecutor Francis J. Schultz, who leads the state district attorneys' association and is not related to Gary Schultz, said there are no hard and fast rules about how soon prosecutors should act after they realize a case cannot proceed.
"If somebody was incarcerated on a charge because they didn't post bond, I would think you've got to act immediately when you know you can't go forward with a case," said the prosecutor, who was careful to say he was not commenting specifically on the Curley and Schultz cases.

Welcome to Dallas! Your Tour Director is on hand late this afternoon to answer any questions.
Today is dedicated to the sights of Dallas, beginning with a visit to legendary SOUTHFORK RANCH, the internationally renowned filming location of the Dallas television series. Tour the famed Ewing Mansion, featuring an exciting array of memorabilia. See the gun that shot J.R., Lucy's wedding dress, the "Dallas" family tree, and Jock's Lincoln Continental. In the afternoon, return to Dallas for included city sightseeing that features Pioneer Plaza, commemorating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas and cattle to market; the Historic West End; and Dealy Plaza, where history buffs can learn all about a moment in history at the SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM, the location from which the alleged killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, fired the lethal shots on November 22, 1963, that killed President John F. Kennedy.
This morning, journey to Fort Worth, a Texas city famous for its unmistakable combination of "cowboys and culture." Visit the Stockyards National Historic District to enjoy a "Stockyards Experience" by seeing the SPIRIT OF THE WEST movie. Afterward, meet the drivers/cowboys of the Fort Worth Herd and see a Longhorn cattle drive before visiting the TEXAS COWBOY HALL OF FAME. It's here that the museum pays tribute to over 70 cowboys and cowgirls who have excelled in the sport of rodeo, and the Western lifestyle. Overnight in Fort Worth.
Listen closely and you'll hear the sounds that make Austin the "Live Music Capital of the World." From blues and indie rock to country, jazz, and more, Austin's nearly 200 live music venues will surely grab your attention. Upon arrival, visit the BOB BULLOCK STATE HISTORY MUSEUM that tells the "Story of Texas." Afterward, enjoy a guided city sightseeing tour that features Austin's downtown, including historic Sixth Street, the Texas Capitol complex, Governor's Mansion, and the University of Texas.
A short drive from Austin is the LYNDON B. JOHNSON NATIONAL HISTORIC PARK. Hear the story of the 36th President, from his ancestors to his final resting place, at his beloved LBJ Ranch. Visit the TEXAS WHITE HOUSE, including the President's Office, living room, dining room, den, and yellow sitting room, restored to their 1963-1968 appearance. The afternoon is free to discover all that the charming and historic town of Fredericksburg in Texas Hill Country has to offer. Take leisurely strolls in the historic district, surrounded by turn-of-the-century architecture, history, heritage, and culture. Spend the afternoon shopping, pursuing one-of-a-kind, eclectic shops, art galleries, and museums.
Today we make our way to the most visited city in Texas—San Antonio. From the stones of the Alamo to the meandering paths of the historic River Walk, San Antonio takes you on a journey through a land as grand as its reputation. Upon arrival and prior to enjoying a Thanksgiving Day Feast, take a stroll along the cobblestone sidewalks of the River Walk to uncover the Spanish colonial architecture, and fountain-laden parks and plazas that makes San Antonio one of America's most picturesque cities.
Today's guided sightseeing begins with a visit to the SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL, the oldest Cathedral in the United States. Your guide will introduce you to the art, history, and architecture of the Cathedral. Walk the lines drawn for independence when you visit the ALAMO—one of five Spanish colonial missions. It was here that a small band of Texans held out for 13 days against the Mexican army. Although the Alamo fell, the phrase "Remember the Alamo!" has come to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of liberty. Afterwards experience downtown's authentic Mexican marketplace, El Mercado. Interact with working artists or sample local cuisine at family-owned restaurants in the largest Mexican market north of the Rio Grande. Tonight special arrangements have been made for you to enjoy the RIVER PARADE AND HOLIDAY LIGHTING, along the River Walk. Enjoy the floating parade of approximately 25 professionally decorated and lighted River Barges from your reserved seats.
This morning is free to explore on your own. The River Walk (Paseo del Rio) is tucked quietly below street level. Only steps from the Alamo, it provides a pleasant way to navigate the city. With miles of sidewalks and paths, the River Walk provides a new adventure around every turn. This afternoon, join your traveling companions on an optional excursion and experience a traditional Texas Dude Ranch. Western entertainment, trail ride, lasso lessons, feeding longhorn cattle, and hay wagon rides are just a few of the activities waiting for you! End the day with dinner around the campfire and enjoy some true Texan hospitality.
Houston is a city of firsts—home to the first successful human heart transplant, America's first public television station, and the first word spoken on the Moon. Gain an appreciation for Houston's rich history on a sightseeing tour of America's fourth-largest city that includes the Theatre District, which is second only to New York City. You'll marvel at the world-famous Texas Medical Center, whose 675 acres and 42 nonprofit institutions make it the largest medical complex in the world. Enjoy a world-class view from the highest sky lobby in Texas from the 60th floor of the JP Morgan Chase Tower. Last but not least is a visit to downtown Houston's tunnel system that takes you 20 feet underground to stroll through an interconnected series of restaurants, shops, and world-class architecture.
A special highlight today is a visit to Johnson Space Center, home of NASA and the U.S. Space Program. Take a look behind the scenes on a guided tram tour of JOHNSON SPACE CENTER. Be a part of history in the making as you witness engineers, scientists, and astronauts shaping the future of space exploration. With this behind-the scenes journey, you will also visit the Historic Apollo Mission Control Center, and Saturn V Rocket, the most powerful moon rocket ever built and one of only three moon rockets remaining in the world. NOTE:The buildings visited on the tram tour are real working areas of Johnson Space Center and are subject to closure without notice.
A beautiful drive past fertile prairies, delicate marshes, and abundant wildlife takes you to Lafayette, Louisiana. Board a boat for a CRUISE through the winding, swampy waterways of the Atchafalaya Basin.
This morning begins with a guided visit to the HOUMAS HOUSE PLANTATION & GARDENS. History is reflected in the many antique furnishings and works of art that grace the home. In 1963, the defining Bette Davis film, Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte, was shot on the property. We continue our journey across Bayou Country into New Orleans, capital of Dixieland and the "City Care Forgot." Upon arrival, a guided sightseeing tour focuses on the sights and sounds of New Orleans, featuring French Quarter landmarks including St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, and a visit to a unique above-ground cemetery.

Study predicts strong growth in local housing market
Published: Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 1:24 a.m.
Homeowners across the Wilmington area are bound to smile if a national index of future home prices is accurate.
Housing predictions
Best housing markets for the next five years:
1. Medford, Ore.
2. Santa Fe, N.M.
3. Panama City, Fla.
4. Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss.
5. Glens Falls, N.Y.
6. Reno, Nev.
7. Yuma, Ariz.; Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (tie)
9. Tucson, Ariz.; Niles-Benton Harbor, Mich. (tie)
11. Yakima, Wash.; Columbus, Ga. (tie)
13. Wilmington
14. Brunswick, Ga.
Sources: CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index; Business Insider
Wilmington will be among the top 14 metro areas in the pace of home price increases over the next five years, according to a CoreLogic Case-Shiller study, parts of which were published recently in Business Insider magazine.
Wilmington ranks 13th with a predicted price growth of 7.1 percent per year between the third quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2017.
But that climb is from a low point. Prices had fallen 25.6 percent since they peaked in 2007, the magazine said.
At the same time, U.S. home prices are expected to grow 3.9 percent a year over five years.
Local real estate experts said that while they generally felt the predicted increase was on target in the short term, it might be too optimistic in the long term.
"I think they are pretty right on," said Jim Wallace, president of Intracoastal Realty. "If you look at that study, (several) are in the Southeast, and they all had something in common – all hit hard by the recession. There's no question Wilmington was one of the hardest-hit areas."
"Now, the same areas are the first ones to really come back strong," Wallace said.
"Year to date we are up 7 percent, from $213,000 to $228,000" in the average price of homes sold in the area covered by the Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors, Wallace said.
Through April, the average price of a home sold here was up 3.64 percent, to $220,221 from $212,481, according to WRAR statistics. Comparing April with April 2012, prices were up 2.8 percent.
The survey is on target, said Tim Milam, CEO of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage.
"If you think about New Hanover, there's not a tremendous amount of land to be developed," he said. It means there's "less opportunity to build new homes, and supply and demand kicks in."
The beaches will always see high increases, Milam continued, but the climb happens in the wake of dramatic decreases in prices since the housing boom burst about six or seven years ago.
But he sees price increases in the next five years being fairly well distributed among the geographic areas and price points, noting that right now the best market is in the $200,000 to $400,000 range.
Milam and Wallace cited the Wilmington area's attractions for out-of-staters.
"People want to move to Wilmington," said Mekael Teshome, an economist with Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank. People from other areas will more likely be able to sell their homes and migrate to Southeastern North Carolina, increasing the population here and adding to the potential for growth, he said.
Long term less clear
Though a 7.1 percent annual increase seems reasonable in the short term, Milam questioned just how much prices could climb in five years.
He sees prices climbing here 15 to 20 percent total over the next four or five years.
But a 7.1 percent annual climb could amount to much more than that, depending on a home's original price.
A house that cost $200,000 in the third quarter of 2012, would rise to more than $300,000 in 2017 at a 7.1 percent price increase per year. A $100,000 home would sell for more than $140,000.
"I don't see that," Milam said.
"Home prices are a bargain," said William "Woody" Hall, economist with the University of North Carolina's Swain Center for Business and Economic Services. "If they are a bargain, it should prompt people to buy, and you could have a fairly substantial surge in prices," he said in a recent interview.
But Hall added that the gain would not be anything like the double-digit annual increases before 2007.
The CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index "is highly regarded so I'm hopeful that they're right," said Donna Girardot, executive officer of the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association. "I know that there is a lot of pent-up demand for housing in the marketplace right now."
Despite indications that the Wilmington housing market and home prices are improving and will continue to do so, Teshome thought
7.1 percent annualized price growth was "a little optimistic. That specific number is a little high but the outlook is positive because there is good population growth in the area.
"A narrowing of the foreclosure pipeline has been going on for some time. As the number of foreclosures in the market continues to narrow that should help prices."
Adding in rock bottom mortgage interest rates, he said, "pieces are falling into place for housing to show a pretty good rebound."

This basement cabin was central and comfortable, the breakfast and snacks were an added bonus. It could be noisy at night due to the furnace next to the bedroom.
4,4 sur septembre 16, 2015
The couple who own this comfortable B and B are extremely hospitable and provide wonderful touches to make you feel at home when you have been travelling. Each morning they have freshly baked bread, fruit and home made jams and every afternoon home baked biscuits, tea and drinks provided. The unit is beautifully decorated and extremely clean.

The Beaver Cabins is ideally located in the middle of Banff - a short walk to the Information Centre and all the stores/restaurants. Given that there were 3 of us, the Cougar gave us sufficient space to each have our own space and the kitchenette enabled us to eat in when we wanted to. The homemade granola, breads/buns and cookies were a special treat and the fruit was plentiful. Laura and Lloyd were readily available and happy to ensure our stay was comfortable. I highly recommend Beaver Cabins!
4,0 sur septembre 06, 2015
We were thrilled to find this little gem in the heart of Banff. The cabin was spotless and the service was fantastic. Ours could accommodate 3 easily and very comfortably. The kitchenette was well stocked with all the supplies you'd need. We even had milk in the fridge upon our arrival for the homemade granola we received at check in. The owners/operators have a great set up with a common area with a BBQ for guests to use and provide hot, fresh buns & jam in the morning and cookies & iced tea/lemonade in the afternoon. We'll be booking here again!

Laura is a lovely lady and she baked delicious buns in the mornings for us with homemade jam. In the afternoons, there were a variety of homemade cookies and perfect homemade iced tea. So good!! There was everything we needed in the room and kitchen and everything provided was top quality. We had a perfect stay. Thanks Laura! :)

Cute cabins one block off main street and shopping, yet very convenient to trails and sites. Cabins meticulously clean, breakfast outstanding, hosts super nice and helpful. Spent 3 days there before continuing to Jasper. Unexpectedly had the opportunity to return for 2 days but they were booked so had to stay elsewhere.Would stay there again on next trip without hesitation.
4,2 sur août 28, 2015
We 6 adults stayed in Fox Cabin for 2 night this August. Lloyd and Laura are both helpful and friendly host, offering many tips to explore the Banff area.The breakfast and afternoon tea were fantastic, lots of home-made food. The Cabins and the surroundings are well decorated and with sense of history. However, Fox cabins is quite crowded for 6 adults.The living room is nearly full after extension of the sofa bed, but would be pretty nice for 4 adults. The kitchen is also small, with portable burner hot plate. The location is just in the center of Banff city, and everything is in walking distance. Recommended.

We loved our time at the Banff Beaver Cabins. We booked the room for our honeymoon stay. It was great to be able to prepare meals in our cabin, (the room had a kitchenette) or take a short walk to great nearby restaurants. Every morning and afternoon, we were greeted by fresh baked goods, local teas and fruit. In our room we had a supply of locally made soaps, which was a lovely touch. Aside from the charm of staying in a historical landmark, the best thing for us was feeling secluded from the bustle of the town when we wanted it, and yet being able to walk to shops, restaurants and the museum in no time at all. Super lovely place to stay!

Nice and friendly hostess. We were a bit disappointed to find ourselves in a basement. Very clean.
5 sur août 14, 2015
We loved our stay here and were delighted by the facilities and service. First of all, the location is great - a few steps away from the centre of town and with onsite parking. The cabin itself was lovely - we were a couple but stayed in 2 bedroomed cabin, so it was great having the extra space to unpack suitcases etc. There is so much packed into the space, and the hosts have included lots of little extras that were unexpected but so nice to have - such as milk and coffee (topped up throughout our stay), lovely soaps and hand washes, an amazing array of kitchen equipment in a snug little kitchen area - and that's not even getting to the cookies and refreshments in the afternoon and the bread, jams and fruit in the morning. They have made the most of the space available both inside and around the cabins, where there are nice seating areas. A wonderful stay which made Banff really special for us.

'Open Flame' celebrates the great American picnic
As we prepare for the impending arrival of the Fourth of July, it seemed appropriate to celebrate the great American picnic at the most recent "Open Flame," presented by American Propane.
I was joined by chefs Amie Gehlert and Kenny Talley of Mutt's Amazing Hot Dogs to celebrate National Hot Dog month with a pair of Mutt's gourtmet hot dogs as well as Jermiah Duddleston, of Uptown Grocery Co. in Edmond, who made a burger as a hot dog in honor of the celebration.
To top off the evening, Russ "The Smokin' Okie" Garrett took an ordinary rack of ribs provided by Buy For Less and transformed it into a championship-caliber, competition-ready rack of barbecue spare ribs. Tony Tielli, of the local Rough Tail Brewing Company, was on hand to provide samples of the local brew, which paired perfectly with our spruced-up picnic fare.
The show-stealer of the night was Seikel's Oklahoma Gold Old-Style Mustard, created by well-known local restaurateur Paul Seikel and his son Steven. The Seikels made a potato salad out of the mustard, and I used it in my baked beans and deviled eggs recipes. To find more about Seikel's Oklahoma Gold, go online to okmustard.com. Seikei's is gradually finding its way into stores. You can find it in Oklahoma City at La Baguette Bistro, Forward Foods, Culinary Kitchen, The Beef Jerky Emporium, Gourmet Gallery, Bill Kamp's Meat Market, Uptown Grocery Co. and all Pearl's locations.
As for me, I filled in the blanks with some sweet and spicy baked beans finished in the smoker and deviled eggs with some sweet heat for filling.
Because of the number of eggs I had to make, I hard-cooked them in the oven rather than in a pot of water. When choosing eggs to hard-cook, it's best to choose eggs closer to the end of their time in the land of the fresh. Eggs that are at least 2 weeks old will peel away from the egg more easily than fresh.
To tell how old an egg is simply fill a small pot with water and drop the eggs in one at a time.
If the egg sinks and stays on its side, it's likely less than 1 week old.
If it drops to the bottom but the wider end tilts slightly upward, it's likely more than 1 week old. If it stands on its narrow end, the egg is likely 2 to 3 weeks old. If it floats, you've got the proverbial rotten egg and should extricate it from the premises.
Coming soon
The next "Open Flame" will be July 18 at American Propane with ingredients provided by Buy For Less. The next event will be sponsored by the Pork Council. Call American Propane at 843-6868 to make reservations to see whether they can pull it off. Meanwhile, you'll find the recipe for those ribs in the June 19 edition of The Oklahoman and online at NewsOK.com with the rest.

German Nazi-looted art hoard held unknown Chagall, Matisse paintings
Speaking at the news conference, prosecutor Reinhard Nemetz said investigators have turned up "concrete evidence" that the find includes both works that the Nazis classed as "degenerate art" and seized from German museums in 1937 or shortly after, and other works that may have been taken from individuals. The Nazis often forced Jewish collectors to sell their art at pitifully low prices to German dealers or simply took them.
"Degenerate art" was largely modern or abstract works that Adolf Hitler's regime believed to be a corrupt influence on the German people. Many such works were later sold to enrich the Nazis. An art expert working with prosecutors said those sales are legally valid, even if other works in the collection may eventually be found to belong to survivors of Nazi persecution or their heirs.
Nemetz defended the delay in making the find public and rejected calls to make images immediately available on the Internet to help potential owners, citing copyright and security concerns.
Art historian Meike Hoffmann, an expert on "degenerate art" at the Free University of Berlin, offered a glimpse of some of the works during a slide show at the same news conference.
She showed works she said had not been known to scholars, or known only from documents without any photos to give an idea what the works looked like.
"Such cases are of high importance to art historians," she explained.
One Matisse painting of a woman, seized by the Nazis in France during World War II, is not in the established catalog of his works, she noted.
A Chagall gouache of an allegorical scene also isn't among the artist's listed works. Experts haven't yet been able to determine where the Chagall came from, she said.
Other works, such as an unknown self-portrait by 20th-century German artist Otto Dix or a woodcut by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, added new breadth to what's known about the artists, Hoffmann added.
Some were known works that appeared to have been legally sold, although their recent whereabouts may have been unknown.
For instance, a previously listed work by Courbet of a girl with a goat made its way into the collection through an auction in 1949 — years after the end of World War II. A Franz Marc work, "Landscape with Horses," was identified as coming from an art museum in Moritzburg, Germany.
Overall, Hoffmann was elated with the quality and the depth of the find.
"When you stand in front of the works, see the ones that were long thought to have been lost or destroyed and in a relatively good state — some of them dirty but not damaged — you have an incredible feeling of happiness," she told reporters.

Skin Problems & Treatments Health Center
Actinic Keratosis Topics
Actinic Keratosis - Topic Overview
How is it treated?
Your doctor may recommend one of these treatments:
- Freezing the skin growth with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery) to destroy it. Cryosurgery (also called cryotherapy) can cause mild pain that can last up to 3 days. Healing typically takes 7 to 14 days. And there is little or no scarring, though some people with darker skin have permanent skin color lightening. This procedure can be done in your doctor's office.
- Scraping and using electric current (curettage and electrosurgery). The skin is numbed, and the growth is scraped off using a spoon-shaped instrument (curette). After scraping, electrosurgery may be done to control bleeding and destroy any remaining abnormal cells. Curettage is a quick treatment, but it can cause scarring. Sometimes a thick scar, or keloid, develops after curettage treatment. A keloid can be itchy or grow larger over time but it doesn't require medical treatment.
- Shaving the growth with a surgical blade (shave excision). This is done to remove the growth and check the cells for basal or squamous cell carcinoma. Healing typically takes 7 to 14 days. There may be some scarring and changes in the color (pigment) of your skin.
- Peeling the skin with chemicals (chemical peel). This is done so new skin can grow and replace damaged skin.
- Resurfacing the skin with laser (laser resurfacing). An intense beam of light from a laser (such as the carbon dioxide or CO2 laser) is used to destroy the top layer of skin. As the treated area heals, new skin grows to replace the damaged skin.
- Treating the skin with medicines that are put on the skin, such as fluorouracil (5-FU), imiquimod (Aldara), ingenol mebutate (Picato), and diclofenac (Solaraze).
- Using medicine and light to kill cells (photodynamic therapy, or PDT). PDT uses medicine, such as aminolevulinic acid (ALA), that is put on the skin and then activated with light. The light causes the medicine to destroy the actinic keratosis.
Will actinic keratosis progress to cancer?
Actinic keratosis may turn into skin cancer, but this isn't common. There is no way to find out whether actinic keratosis will progress to squamous cell carcinoma or how fast this might occur. Keratoses on the ear and lip are at the highest risk of developing into cancer because of the sensitivity of the ear and lip to sun exposure.
