Pending home sales are increasing this month, according to the National Association of Realtors. Fitch fears home prices could drop again another 9.1%.
In The News:
DS News – "Foreclosure Sales Outpace Modifications for January" (3-5-12)

Housing Wire – "Consumers shed debt, cut mortgage balances" (3-5-12)
"The total balance of outstanding home loans fell by $1 trillion, or 10.4%, in the past four years as consumers continue to shed debt. The latest numbers come from a report produced by Moody's Analytics and Equifax."
DS News – "One Georgia Bank Closed Friday; Tally Is Now 12" (3-5-12)
"State regulators closed Global Commerce Bank of Doraville, Georgia on Friday, marking the first bank closing for March and the second Georgia bank to close in two weeks. So far this year, twelve FDIC-insured banks have closed."

CNN Money – "Investors target property tax deadbeats" (3-5-12)

Housing Wire – "Fitch sees home prices as overvalued with potential for another 9.1% drop" (3-5-12)
"Fitch Ratings said U.S. home prices are still overvalued and could fall another 9.1%, despite inching toward a point of sustainability.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Douglas, Dave (David Dewel)
Douglas, Dave (David Dewel), trumpet, composer; b. East Orange, NJ, 24 March 1963. Dave Douglas began playing improvised music while attending a year abroad in Barcelona, Spain, as part of a special program offered through his high school. He went on to study composition and performance in Boston for two years at the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory. Moving to New York in 1984, he completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at New York University's Gallatin Division while at the same time performing in the streets of New York City with other young musicians. His education continued on the bandstand with Horace Silver's ensemble, touring internationally for three months in 1987. Since then, he has often worked as a leader, as well as continuing to freelance. He has recorded over 100 of his own compositions. His diverse influences are reflected in the music he writes for his own ensembles: Charms of the Night Sky, The Tiny Bell Trio, Dave Douglas Quartet, Dave Douglas Sextet, Sanctuary, The Dave Douglas String Group, and Satya.
In addition to working with the above listed ensembles, Dave continues to explore the possibilities of combining improvisation with Indian music, Musique Concrete and orchestral music. Dave's ensembles have toured worldwide since 1994, performing at major jazz and new music festivals in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, Austria, France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland, Finland and Estonia. Several international festivals such as: New York Jazz Festival 1998, Groningen Jazz Marathon 1996, Koln Musik Triennale 1997, Luchtbal Festival Antwerp 1996, have also presented multi-day overviews of his music.
Recently completed works include "In Twilight Found", a Concerto for Improvising Trio and Orchestra. Other projects include a collaboration in Baden-Baden/Germany with Rabih Abou-Khalil, the Lebanese Oud player and composer; new recordings with his Quartet, Trio and String Group; commissions from the String Trio of New York and the Trisha Brown Company.
Douglas has received fellowships for his work from the National Endowment for the Arts, Meet the Composer, the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust and more recently, Arts International, which helped finance a trip to India by his new Hindi-influenced group, Satya. In February 1996, Douglas toured as a guest with the Clusone Trio (Michael Moore, Ernst Reijseger and Han Bennink), one of Holland's most exciting improvisation ensembles. His music was featured in the 2003 film American Splendor.

Sensorimotor Representations and Concepts: A Two-day Workshop
Topic areas
Talks at this conferenceAdd a talk
Traditionally, cognitive scientists argued for a view of the mind in which perception, cognition and action were seen as distinct (classical sandwich). Recently, this view of the human mind has been questioned and a call for renegotiation of the relations between input, central processing and output systems of the mind has been put forth. In particular, proponents of 'embodiment' argue that the human body plays a crucial role in cognition, while proponents of 'grounded cognition' argue that cognition is ultimately analyzable into sensorimotor representations.
The focus of this two-day workshop will be on theoretical questions related to the 'grounding cognition thesis' and the implications stemming from the claim that sensorimotor representations play a crucial role in cognition. An attempt will be made to address, amongst others, the following issues:
- Are sensorimotor representations, and therefore our abilities to perceive and to move, necessary conditions for cognition?
- Are sensorimotor representations sufficient for cognition, or a further, possibly amodal code is required?
- Does conceptual thought always have a sensorimotor counterpart? Do sensorimotor representations play the role of a mere starting point for cognition, after which the latter becomes independent?
- Do impairments in sensorimotor abilities entail impairments in cognitive abilities? If so, does the reverse relation hold?
- Does cognition influence sensorimotor perception, (top-down effects on perception)?

Would the guy who has played Marvel Comics mutant Wolverine a whopping six times be able to pull off playing a boy who would never grow up? Fortunately, no one has to worry about that. Hugh Jackman has been cast in Joe Wright's forthcoming Peter Pan film, but the Oscar-nominated Aussie will be playing the villain Blackbeard. Warner Bros. Pictures made the announcement today.
"Hugh Jackman always delivers indelible performances that resonate with audiences", stated Greg Silverman, the President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production for Warner Bros. "We know he will create a Blackbeard who will be a powerful presence in this original Peter Pan adventure." Silverman made the announcement with Sue Kroll, the President of Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution for the studio.
Director Wright's last film was 2012's "Anna Karenina", which starred Keira Knightley(the actress has collaborated with Wright on three of his five features) and earned an Academy Award(Best Achievement in Costume Design). Born in London, the director made a name for himself in the U.S. in 2005 with another adaptation of classic literature: "Pride and Prejudice."
Hugh Jackman will next be seen in "X-Men: Days of Future Past", director Bryan Singer's return to the Marvel Comics franchise. He is also starring in "Elysium" director Neill Blomkamp's next project, "Chappie", which began filming a few months ago.
Warner Bros.' Peter Pan film does not yet have an official title, but it has a release date: J.M. Barrie's classic character will fly onto theater screens on July 17, 2015.

Hoarding of inanimate objects has been linked to a variety of psychological disorders, and a significant percentage of animal hoarders are eventually institutionalized or placed under some type of protective care. The hoarding of inanimate objects is a relatively new area of study in the psychological and psychiatric literature, and even less has been reported about the sub-category of animal hoarding. Experts are still unsure of the exact causes for hoarding, and since the behavior is seen in a range of disorders, it is likely that a variety of conditions can ultimately result in pathological hoarding.
Hoarding is characterized in DSM-IV as a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). There is very little literature about treatment, and what exists suggests that hoarders may be particularly resistant to both psychotherapy and commonly used medications.
Although a long tradition of civil liberties in the US provides people with broad latitude to live as they choose, those choices are much more limited when dependent adults (elders, disabled) or children are present. Within the past decade, the links between deliberate animal abuse and spouse / child abuse have been well-documented. The relationship to severe animal neglect, as occurs in hoarding situations, and child / elder neglect is beginning to be recognized. Although in most cases hoarders do live alone, possibly 15% have either dependent adults or minor children present. Often these human victims receive help only AFTER and BECAUSE animal protection groups intervened because of concern over animal mistreatment. Greater efforts to cross-train human social service personnel and animal humane investigators will help bridge this gap.
Self-neglect is an increasing problem among our aging population, and self-care is naturally more difficult when the unsanitary conditions and dysfunctional conditions associated with hoarding are imposed. There is also recognized higher frequency of mental and physical disorders, as well as deficits in health care.

These are a actually beneficial way from staying on affiliated, particularly in our furiously active lives. Bring in the class assembling an base wherever is entirely members close to genuinely associate on each other.
Accept an policy from centered hearing: Nothing jambs an conversation alike a deaf to attender. It's primitive and aweless and allows some parties belief bad at the closing of the talking. Get in a family policy to hear intently and on centering to what apiece extremity accepts to say-this are aside you are able to appearance your dear, appraise, and deference as them.
Stay off screaming and dishonor: don't allow for disgrace and derision to ooze into your family dialogue.

Continue the conversation environment convinced and arrive at everybody experience that they're successful the best base in the creation to show themselves honestly-their house.

Five people have died as a result of the 8.2 quake that struck Chile last night. During the confusion of the quake, roughly 300 prisoners escaped near Iquique, said Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo.
Last night, an 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck Chile near the coast of Northern Chile at 8:47 p.m. local time. The epicenter was nearly 60 miles northwest of Iquique, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). The quake was 21 km deep, a relatively shallow depth. Tsunami warnings and watches had initially been issued last night for countries on the Pacific coast.
Chile's National Emergency Office had asked everyone to evacuate the coast early on. That calm evacuation may have saved many lives. Chile President Michelle Bachelet has declared a state of emergency for the region of Iquique. A full assessment will be conducted once day breaks. There were some landslides caused by the quake which in turn caused some roads to be blocked and power to be out.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center still calls for a Tsunami Advisory for Hawaii. The initial wave is expected to arrive at 3:24 a.m. HST.
"A major tsunami is not expected to strike the state of Hawaii. However sea level changes and strong currents may occur," reads the advisory statement.
Initially warnings and watches had been issued for Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Antarctica, Pitcairn, and the French Polynesia. They have all been cancelled.
An 8 magnitude quake is rare. According to CNN, an 8 quake only occurs on average once a year. Some years can escape one altogether.
As expected there have been numerous aftershocks. At least 20 have been above 4.0, as per the USGS.
Iquique, according to NBC News, is home to approximately 180,000 people and is close to the copper mines of Chile.

Petroneft Resources Plc - Now Looking an attractive Investment ?
Petroneft have had mixed fortunes over the last few years but there are signs that the company are back on track and are now trading at attractive multiples to new investors.2012 proved to be a good year for the company in terms of putting the groundwork in on its key assets in Siberia and are now steadily stepping out production, which was stated in the last company update on the 18th december 2012 as being 2800 Bopd * .
Petronefts key assets are located in the Russian state of Siberia and comprise of Licence 61 and Licence 67 both of which have large booked reserves,and also hefty contingent resources which the company are starting to exploit.Internal company estimates suggest that each of their operated fields could contain many many multiples of the current booked reserves data. Petroneft also have an advantage in terms as operator and enjoy a relative low cost per well development platform.
The key factor that makes Petroneft an attractive investment right now is the company,s ability to self fund its own development plans whilst also paying down its modest debt position.Alongside an anticipated major reserves upgrade once the next few wells have been put on production.
The company are currently drilling / testing Well No 112 at its Arbuzovskoye field, following on from a solid run of successes on the acreage where production output has been steadily growing. Results are now due from Well 112 which is located on the highest flow eastern side of field alongside news of the three producing wells taken offline at the end of last year for remedial work on pumps, and are due back online before the end of january.
Well 112 is the fifth development well on the field with a further five wells planned and funded for through 2013,and the company are targetting a steady daily ouput of 5000 barrels or more during the course of the next 12 - 16 months.
RNS - 18 December 2012
Dennis Francis, Chief Executive Officer of PetroNeft Resources plc, commented:
"We are pleased with the initial flow rate on well 111 and the fact that there is no water production associated with the well. We continue to expand our understanding of the field and are now drilling well 112 on the eastern side of the field where we have seen the highest flow rates to date. The operational challenges and variation in results are as expected. We look forward to completing further wells in Arbuzovskoye over the coming months as we continue to focus on materially increasing our production profile and cash flows."

Greetings From Above – Proof of Life After Death: K.M.Ryan's Book now available on Kindle
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based acclaimed author, K.M. Ryan, has announced the availability of her book, 'Greetings From Above – Proof of Life After Death' on Amazon.com's Kindle platform. Launched under the Spiritual Self-Help genre, the book features 106 true personal short stories of after death communications and personal encounters between deceased loved ones and those left behind. It seeks to provide comfort, healing and hope to people who have lost loved ones to death and aims to provide solace to the grieving and offer reassurance that their loved ones are fine, are still with them and are watching over them while they continue to love them as they did when they were on earth.
Released under the banner of CreateSpace, the paperback version of the book has 170 pages and is available for $7.97. The Kindle ebook version of the book has 150 pages and is available for just $ 4.97 on Amazon.com's Kindle Bookstore online and can be directly downloaded to one's Kindle, tablet, cell phone, laptop or computer from the following URL: http://j.mp/GreetingsFromAbove
"Death affects every person, religion and culture. Survivors who receive signs from deceased loved ones may not allow themselves to fully recognize that they really are actual signs. They may believe these signs are 'all in their heads' and dismiss them," says K.M. Ryan, the author of the book. "The recipients of these proof of afterlife signs are often embarrassed to share their experiences or ask others if they, too, have received similar signs. The heart touching life after death stories in my book seek to offer comfort and reassurance to the grieving, allowing them to heal, experience peace and move forward with their lives while recognizing that their loved ones are still with them. Further, these real life experiences emphasize that they're not alone who receive signals from their loved ones who have departed!"
The book is said to be a compulsive page turner for its readers as each and every one of the personal stories featured in the book is narrated by the author in an extremely well-refined, straightforward writing style, vividly portraying each experience to the readers in a very personal manner. These comforting stories of love and hope show that life continues on even if a person has lost a loved one to death.
"Death of a loved one is quite a rude shock for anyone. It shakes a person to the core if their loved one passes away. My new book can give them the insight and comfort they seek and offer them the strength they need to deal with the personal loss," added the author. "Reading about the numerous accounts of others who have sensed the loving influence of people they cared for dearly in this life is a great comfort and can offer real peace of mind to anyone who has lost a relative or friend they were close with. "
Being considered as one of the most insightful books released on the subject of Life After Death in recent months, "'Greetings From Above – Proof of Life After Death " by K.M. Ryan is expected to emerge as a must-read for people who have lost their loved one and are seeking a relief from the pain and emptiness that is left behind!'
"Anyone who has ever wondered what their loved ones experience after passing on or anyone who has considered whether or not their loved ones are watching over them from above, will surely relate to the experiences shared in the stories featured in my book," speaking on the inspiration for her new book, the author said. "I sincerely hope that this book of mine will provide strength to my readers and help them get on with their lives."

My myriad player and unit rankings, which seem to have rankled some of you who think I have gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Not true. I'm sane … and I'm a Quisp man.

Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson Quotes
"We certainly got into a big hole against an outstanding basketball team. In the first half, all of the energy was on their side, and we had no energy. We were in serious trouble, and UCLA just shot the lights out in the first half. They have excellent shooters who will shoot well if you let them take the shots."
"We got some energy in the second half, and we extended the pressure. We made them do things that they did not want to do, and we got some rebounds, which allowed us to run. We made them miss, we had some steals and turnovers, and we had some great opportunities offensively. We came back on a team with serious fire power."
"We had a lot of guys who had outstanding performances for us in the second half. Our defensive pressure in the second half was key, and a big key to the defense was the play of our freshman guards. Will Bynum created a lot of problems for (Ryan) Walcott, and Salim Stoudamire did a good job on (Jason) Kapono."
"Channing Frye did a fabulous job for us today. He did a nice job of moving his feet and deflecting shots rather than blocking shots. Channing did a good job of being patient, and he was able to alter several shots as a result of his defense."
UCLA Head Coach Steve Lavin Quotes
"First half we played as well as we have played all season. Second half we played worse than we have played all season. In the first half we made more shots because we got some good looks. Arizona stepped it up in the second half. They did a great job pressuring the ball. With (Dan) Gadzuric out, Arizona took advantage of the opportunity. Throughout his career when he's in the game we are much better team. Without him we are not as good in the paint."
"I watched tape from the Oregon State game where Arizona was down by 21 at home. They are capable of coming back. They made some runs and we didn't get organized. I really like Arizona's team. We knew that they were going to make a run. They have a lot of talented young players. They have great leaders in (Jason) Gardner and (Luke) Walton."
"With a 20 point lead we got this false sense of security. We started to settle for too many threes. We didn't get the ball inside. We didn't make enough passes. We shot quick and allowed Arizona to get some shots. We didn't give ourselves a chance to draw more fouls. I wanted our seniors to win in McKale. This is a tough place to win. It's one of the toughest places to play in college basketball."
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior Jason Gardner:
"We came out with a slow start and they came out hot. Then they started missing and we were making shots. That's how we did it."
"(Jason) Kapono was hitting some big shots. Every time we would make a run, he would hit a big three. It was a lot of enjoyment out there. It was a great win."
On biggest wins ever:
"This is up there. To be down 20 against UCLA and come back, it's up there. Our quickness is always a factor. With Ricky (Anderson) and Luke (Walton) and Salim (Stoudamire), we are quick. We just try to use that to our advantage."
Junior Luke Walton:
"It's huge. The way we played these two games builds a lot of confidence. We're one of the main teams in this conference. We had high expectations coming into the season, even though other people didn't."
"Will (Bynum) and Salim (Stoudamire) hit some of the biggest shots of the game."
On coming close to another triple-double:
"I was just looking for the win."
"We've been in this program long enough so we are used to winning. We'll do whatever it takes to win. I think the freshmen are starting to do that too. Getting down by 17 or 18 doesn't mean we are going to quit. Playing a game like this proves a lot more to our freshmen. Doing this showed our freshmen that we are never out of a game."
"UCLA and Stanford have been our biggest rivals so beating one of them is always a little more special."
"Today Jason was in the huddle, yelling at us, telling us we're not out of this, we're going to win this game. That's what is good about having a bunch of veterans."
"We've had huge wins here, but this one is definitely right up there with the others."
"We had to stay in striking distance so we could make that Arizona run."
Freshman Isaiah Fox:
"We came out in the second half with a lot of fire and got a lot of good bounces. That was the best comeback I've ever been a part of."
"In the second half we wanted to play tough man-to-man defense. That was the technical adjustment we wanted to make. But we just wanted to Bear Down and play hard."
"Luke (Walton) can do everything out there. If he doesn't have the ball, he'll make a cut or do something else to make things happen."
Freshman Will Bynum:
"It was a big win for us. We came out in the second half and put a lot of pressure on them (UCLA) and got the crowd back into the game."
"We never gave up today and that is what let us back in the game. They (UCLA) were hitting some wide-open shots. Our defense was allowing their offense to get wide-open looks and they didn't seem to miss."
"We knew that we had to turn up our defense in the second half. Our defense gave us a spark that got us the win."
"UCLA came out strong and we didn't expect them to do that. We came out sluggish because we were still thinking about the USC win, but we were able to rebound from our slow start. The crowd made a big difference in our comeback."
Freshman Channing Frye:
"Our team really turned up the defense in the second half. We stayed in the game and didn't put our heads down when we were behind. We stayed aggressive throughout the game."
"This game was the most exciting game I have ever played in. The crowd was just ridiculous. I have never been in a game when the fans were that loud. After I made a dunk and got the foul I didn't think I was going to make the free-throw I was so pumped."
"To have great fans who stay for the whole game is a big factor. No one left the game when we were down by 20. Our fans stuck behind us and we were able to deliver a win for them."
"It feels great to get a big win like this. Our team really appreciates our fans and how they support us no matter what."
Junior Rick Anderson:
"UCLA was just hitting their shots. They came out to start the game on fire and we were a little slow at responding and slowing down their momentum."
"The crowd was unbelievable for us. The fans could see that we needed an extra spark out there and helped us keep up the intensity."
"Coach Olson told us that we needed to keep playing defense and not give up. He told us that we needed to play harder and keep putting pressure on them defensively."
"It was hard to defend UCLA at times because we have smaller guards. Our 'little guys' did a great job defending today. They put a lot of pressure on the perimeter and were able to cause some turnovers. I am really proud of this team."

Fiat unveils its thrilling 500 Abarth—complete with the legendary designer's scorpion logo—onto our quiet roadways
When Fiat unveiled its lovely little 500 sports coupe just over a year ago in the U.S. marketplace, the timing seemed perfect. Well-made, a hoot to drive, and with a distinctive look in a marketplace plagued by sameness, we—and the Turin, Italy-based manufacturer were expecting robust sales in a slightly invigorated economy. That hasn't happened, so Fiat (a majority stakeholder in Chrysler) decided that brand diversity would generate additional enthusiasm. In a very rapid time frame, they released a convertible and sports version of the 500, the latter bearing the name of one of the most storied sports car enthusiasts of all time, Carlo Abarth. The Vienna born designer contributed numerous sport tuning kits to the Fiat line from 1948 until the early 70s, and the signature Abarth scorpion logo remains a testament to Carlo's astrological sign. There's simply nothing like this in the auto market today. The thing is nothing less than a slightly tamed Tasmanian Devil, capable of squealing its tires even low third-year, turning with almost frightening immediacy and precision, and simply eking more hair-raising terror and fun out of $30,000 than anything this size on the road today. Equipped with a turbocharged 160hp version of the 500's standard 101-hp, 1.4-liter four-cylinder and matched with a beefed-up version of the stock five speed manual transmission, the result is simple and immediately satisfying. Likewise, the interior is almost angry in its blackon- black, hard-edged minimalism, but that's only appropriate given the lineage, here.
The Abarth is scheduled for release in mid-March, but in all likelihood models won't start arriving here until early or mid summer.

Creepypastas were real, but they weren't like boogeymen or anything they were like, how do I explain this. I don't know how to explain this. But if you saw like Jeff or someone you wouldn't AMG RUN HE GON KILL YOU you'd just go "'Sup Jeff" and wave and then walk on and he'd go "'Sup" and then continue on his way. Like that.
But like, apparently Kage died. And everyone started freaking the hell out all AMG KAGE DIED WHAT IS THIS HOW DO WE GET HIM BACK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. But I'm not freaking out because I know he's faking. The dead body was a doll I mean he didn't even try this time.
So I'm just kinda sitting on the edge of a building eating a watermelon for some reason and then people swarm over and grab me like GINGA COME ON WE NEED TO GO TO AN ASSEMBLY and apparently the assembly is talking about how to bring Kage back and I'm just sitting there thinking people calm down he'll be back in a few days he's probably just taking a long video game break or visiting Vegas or something I don't know I just want to eat this damn watermelon
And I don't know where we are but it's in a very very large room not unlike the rooms college lectures are mostly given in (or at least how television portrays those rooms) and everyone is freaking out and I just want to eat the damn watermelon it looks tasty and I want to leave but there are too many people everywhere so somehow I can fly so I fly to the window (well kinda l4d hunter leap rather than fly) and manage to get out the window and I just want to eat the damn watermelon and then outside apparently Kage is on the roof and that baka yarou is LAUGHING AT ME AND I JUST WANT TO EAT THE DAMN WATERMELON.

Here's what we know: Jared Leto is totally coming to the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.
Here's what we don't know: Which Jared Leto is going to show up.
Contrary to popular belief, there isn't just one Jared Leto in Hollywood. Photographic evidence gathered over the years shows that the man known colloquially as "Jared Leto" is a multifaceted amalgamation of no less than three hundred distinct individuals, each with their own particular fashion sense, attitude, and personal aesthetic… albeit all with the same enormous blue eyes that hold all the secrets of the universe. So, which Jared Leto might we encounter on our red carpet tomorrow? Let's check out the top contenders.
Jordan Catalano
The choker. The flannels. The shearling coat. Will Sunday night finally mark the return of everyone's favorite 1990s crush? (One can only hope.)
The Mama's Boy
A more recent look, in which Jared's most important red-carpet accessory is his beloved mother.
Punk Rock Leather Lad
Once upon a time, Leto's colorful punkwear could've given Rayon a run for her money.
The Shirtless Aviator
Remember the shades, forget the shirt, and prepare to party all night.
The 'Stache
His role in "Prefontaine" has been all but forgotten, but the spectacle of Jared sporting full shag'n'stache? NEVER. And it could still make a longed-for comeback on Sunday.
His Blondness
Not his best, but let's be honest: Albino Cyborg Dentist chic is a hard look for anyone to wear.
Children of the Cornrows
If you thought this was a picture of James Franco from "Spring Breakers," you're not alone… but you're wrong.
Fur Baby
Any self-respecting woodland creature would lay down his life to lie on those shoulders. (It's faux, though.)
Attention, Whole Foods Shoppers
We hope you brought enough sprouted bread and bean curd to share with everyone, sir.
Bleachey Biker
It's derelicte, y'all.
The Supreme
This look would also be right at home at Miss Robichaud's school in New Orleans, but it's oh so red-carpet ready.
"That's Not Jared Leto"
Meanwhile, let's hope that this version of Jared continues to lurk behind a tree in the year 2007. Forever.
The Oscars Ensemble
The actor called this look "sexy Jesus." We say, "Amen."
The Big Boy Outfit
Left to his own devices, Jared sometimes reminds us, in the best way, of what happens when an adventurous kindergartner gets to choose his entire outfit.
But Seriously, Jordan Catalano
Please. Thank you. THANK YOU.

Andrew Bynum and Evan Turner took the court together with the Indiana Pacers for the first time on March 11. Once the Philadelphia 76ers hoped Bynum and Turner would lead them together, but both flamed out of Philadelphia in haunting fashion. Yet while the Sixers are flaming out even worse, Bynum and Turner are in good shape with the Pacers anyway, as they helped Indiana snap its longest losing streak of the season against the Boston Celtics.
The Pacers' 94-83 win may not have been perfect, but it was better than the four straight losses they suffered beforehand. Likewise, Bynum may have only played 16 minutes in his first game for Indiana, yet it was among the best 16 minutes he has played in over a year, as he tallied eight points and 10 rebounds. As for Turner, he had nine points on 4-for-4 shooting in over 23 minutes off the bench.
Bynum's debut was a glimpse at the kind of player the Sixers threw away their future for almost two years ago. When he came to Philadelphia in summer 2012, he and Turner looked poised to be the future leaders of the Sixers together. Of course, Bynum never played a game with the Sixers and Turner never took the next step forward, which led to him being traded away last month.
Bynum's knees made him a franchise killing liability, while former No. 2 draft pick Turner became a cautionary tale for when the Sixers pick high in this summer's draft. Yet while Philadelphia is set for years of painful rebuilding -- which now includes a 17-game losing streak - their two biggest disappointments of the recent era could still make out with championship rings in Indiana.
The Pacers haven't looked like champions in recent days, although they are lucky the Miami Heat haven't either. Will Bynum and Turner be difference makers that put Indiana over the top in a conference finals rematch with Miami, or will they live down to their potential yet again?
These are questions the Pacers will answer over the next few months. At the least, they are better questions than the one the Sixers face -- such as whether they will ever win another game. Philadelphia will try to answer yes when it hosts the Sacramento Kings on March 12.

What would Newton say about the tanden? AP Photo/Royal Society/PA
The physical center is your belly; if your mind is set there as well, you are assured of victory in any endeavor. - Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido
As you spend more time at the dojo during this typical Chicago winter, you will hear repeated admonitions regarding your "center". You may be instructed to "move from your center", to "maintain your center", perhaps even to "visualize your center". At some point, someone may have even deigned to point out where your "center" might be found.
However, have you ever stopped to consider the exact nature of your center and why it seems to be a recurring theme in Eastern arts? The center, or tanden in Japanese, and dantian in Chinese, is key to many arts, ranging from the martial to the sublime. Karateka are reminded that power comes from the tanden, while tea ceremony or chado practitioners try to act from their tanden. Taoist and Zen meditation require their adherents to be aware of their centers, especially during meditation.
The center is also considered to be the source of ki or chi, which can be loosely translated as life energy. Internal martial arts such as tai chi, emphasize movements from the center. Aikidoka are taught that ki emanates from the tanden. In the most basic position of Japanese swordsmanship, chudan kamae (middle guard), the sword is held in front, drawing a direct line from the the swordsman's center to the opponent's throat.
Regardless of what your style preaches about the tanden, it is a very physical entity. In fact, the tanden is the center of mass of the human body at rest. The tanden is located three finger-widths below and two finger-widths behind the navel. As such, it is the key to your balance as a martial artist. As this video from the National Geographics' Fight Science illustrates, balance is maintained by keeping the center directly over the feet.
Newtonian physics dictates that the center of mass must be set in motion in order to generate momentum. Simply put, any strikes or throws that begin by setting your tanden in motion is likely to generate the most momentum, so long as the movement of the extremities are integrated with the center. Momentum, of course, translates into force at the moment of impact.
Regardless of whether you believe in the more mystical qualities of tanden, or you simply regard it as your center of mass, you must learn to move from your center. Heed the advice from the masters, but also remember that the core muscles are critical in supporting and moving your center.

Curtis Reeves' text was a simple one. The former police officer accused of killing a man over his annoying cell phone use during a movie, incredulously used his own phone, just minutes prior to gunning the moviegoer down, to shoot a text to his son.
According to CBS News on Thursday, "Curtis Reeves, the Florida man accused of fatally shooting another movie-goer in a dispute over the victim texting in the theater, sent a text of his own before the movie started."
Court documents show that Curtis Reeves sent a text message to his son Matthew Reeves, a 25-year-old Tampa police officer, at 1:04 p.m. on January 13, to advise his son where he and his wife were sitting.
When Matthew arrived, the theater had already gone dark and previews were playing. While he was looking for his parents, he heard the gunshot. His 71-year-old father had shot and killed Chad Oulson, 43, after the two got into an argument over Oulson's cell phone use.
Pasco County Sheriff's detective Aaron Smith wrote: "Matthew said he did not see the shot directly, but the noise and light drew his attention to the top row of seats."
Reeves has been held at the Pasco County Jail, without bail, since the incident occurred. Charges the former cop is facing include second-degree murder and aggravated battery on Oulson's wife, Nicole Oulson, who was struck with the bullet that killed her husband.
If found guilty, Reeves faces 25 years, essentially sending him to jail for the remainder of his life.
As reported by CBS, according to the arrest report, witnesses told police that Reeves "confronted the victim about texting during the movie previews and went to advise management. When the defendant returned additional words were exchanged between the victim and the defendant and the victim turned and threw a bag of popcorn at the defendant. Witnesses advised they did not observe any punches being thrown. The defendant removed a handgun and shot [Oulson] in the chest."

some friends of mine want to go get our nails done, (acrylic type) is this safe?

You might read that it's not, but there are salons out there that use ammonia-free products for their services. This might mean that their services will cost more. It should be okay if you only do it once in a while, but it's probably not a good idea to go in for fills your entire pregnancy, just to be safe.

It is perfectly fine. There really is no evidence out there that it does anything to unborn babies. But like stefanies said try and go for the ammonia free stuff. If you can't then it should be in a well ventilated area which most salons are.

I got my nails done like a week before I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter. When I went to my first appointment my doctor told me not to get my nails done. But different doctors day different things. I would suggest if you are really consurned get your doctor's opinion.

This study examines a broad array of theory-based factors derived from diffusion research that affect the current and intended use of solar water disinfection (SODIS), a simple, low-cost technology for treating drinking water at the household level. The perceived attributes of an innovation, the nature of the social system in which it is diffused, the extent of change agents' promotional efforts in diffusing it, and the nature of the communication channels used were operationalized by 16 variables. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of each factor and its predictive power. Eight areas in Bolivia were visited, and 644 families were interviewed on the basis of a structured questionnaire. Simultaneous multiple regression analysis showed that 9 of the 16 factors derived from diffusion research contributed significantly to predicting the current use of SODIS. The implications of the findings for customizing future SODIS diffusion activities are outlined.

How to Prepare Your Lawn for Winter
Fall is a good time to carry out maintenance on your lawn to get it in shape to cope with winter.
Materials Needed
- rake
- garden fork or aerator
- horticulture grade sand
- broom
- top dressing (soil)
- shovel
Step 1: Clear Debris
A layer of dead grass and other material, known as thatch, can build up on the surface of the soil, impeding drainage, encouraging moss, harboring fungal diseases, and preventing the strong growth of grass. Clear any leaves or other debris from the lawn in fall. Rake the lawn surface firmly to remove any embedded debris or moss.
Step 2: Spike Holes
Using a garden fork or a special aerator (as shown here), spike holes into the lawn all over the surface to aerate it and improve drainage.
Step 3: Fill Holes
Brush dry fine sand into the holes to prevent them from closing up, allowing air and water to pass freely into the root zone. Only use horticultural grade sand.
Step 4: Spread Top-Dressing
Spread dry top-dressing over the surface to help improve drainage and to level out hollows. Use a brush or the back of a rake to work it into the grass evenly.

Feeling the Difference
Thursday, June 23, 2011
I am so glad I found Bootcamp. I have never liked exercising, but over the past few weeks I have been sick off and on, and I actually MISS going to bootcamp if I don't feel well enough. I can't wait until I completely kick this bug so I can start getting there every day again.
The biggest changes I feel:
Three months ago, I could hardly walk up a flight of stairs without a death grip on the handrail and ragged breathing at the top. Now I can walk up the stairs carrying a moderate load and find myself breathing normally at the top. It takes several flights of stairs at a pretty good pace to get me winded now. I thank stairs, bleachers, and hills at the park for improving my climbing stamina.
On day one in April, I was able to run about 50 feet before I thought my lungs would explode. Now I am still the back of the pack, but I can jog at least half way around the warmup path at the park before I slow down, and can resume jogging sooner. Hopefully I will be able to jog the whole distance by the end of summer. I had some problems with shin splints which slowed down my running progress, but better running shoes and rest while I was sick seem to have given me the opportunity to heal, so I am noticing a difference every day again. Hopefully at the next 5k fitness test day, I will finish the 5k in under an hour.
On day one in April, I could not do a single triceps dip. On Monday, I must have done at least 140 (sets of 20 in each picnic area, I think I managed 7, maybe 8 stations) I can almost do 20 without stopping, but by the last area, I had to pause more than once. There are many other exercises I can do that I wasn't able to do 2 months ago.
The best change however is that I can almost walk out of my pants. I had lost almost 20 pounds before boot camp, but hadn't noticed a significant change in my clothing. After the first 8 weeks of boot camp, I have lost several inches in my hips and waist, even without a massive amount of pounds lost. I must be gaining muscle to have lost so many inches with only an 8-10 pound loss.
It's exciting to finally see and feel so many changes. I never feel this different when I start my plan with food changes. I am making better choices, but not letting the food control my plan. I am focusing on the exercise, and the food will follow after exercise has become a lifetime habit.

Sounds like you have your routine together and it is working for you.
Sometimes you won't see the weight change but in the inches and in your clothes. So that is the part to get excited about.
Keep focused and build your confidence and have tons of fun...
That is awesome you have been able to do things you haven't done in awhile... It breaks you free...
Keep up the good work and treat yourself to something fun.

Joint Summit Working Group (JSWG)
The Joint Summit Working Group (JSWG) coordinates the support of twelve Inter-American and international institutions to the Summits process. These institutions provide technical guidance to countries in the identification and negotiation of issues addressed in the Summits process. The JSWG also plans and carries out projects and initiatives to implement Summit commitments and supports inter-American ministerial meetings and their linkages to the Summits process. Additionally, the group participates in Summit policy dialogues to exchange ideas regarding policy approaches for the Summits process. The OAS Summits of the Americas Secretariat serves as Chair of the JSWG.
During the Third Summit of the Americas, held in Quebec City, Canada, in 2001, the partner institutions of the Summit Process the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the World Bank), coordinated by the Organization of American States (OAS), presented their first joint hemispheric report, outlining the activities carried out in fulfillment of the mandates of the Second Summit of the Americas, held in Santiago, Chile, in 1998.
As a result of the Third Summit of the Americas, the role of these institutions became more prominent: The Quebec City Plan of Action underscored the need for permanent coordination in the inter-American system and welcomed the involvement of international organizations in all stages of the Summit Process.

A standard Catch Basin is a below ground rectangular box structure with a horizontal rectangular opening at ground level. A perforated or slotted metal grate is typically inset into the top of the Catch Basin at ground level to allow water to enter into the Catch Basin structure. Grates are available for both traffic rated and non-traffic rated applications.
During a rain event, storm water drains from the surface area into the grate openings of the Catch Basin. The water then drains into a sewer pipe that is connected to the Catch Basin. The sewer piping uses gravity feed to move the water through the system of pipes. Multiple catch basins can be linked with pipe to create a network of drainage points.
Oldcastle Precast Catch Basins are engineered and manufactured in a wide range of sizes to meet all state and local standards and are a fast, effective and cost-efficient way to save time and money on your next project.
