Mortgage rates fall to near-record lows
WASHINGTON — Fixed mortgage rates fell to at or near record lows. That's good news for the few who can afford to buy a home or are able to refinance. But the rates have done little to lift the ailing housing market.
Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.32 percent this week from 4.39 percent. The 30-year loan hit a record low of 4.17 percent in mid-November.
The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, fell to a record low of 3.50 percent, from last week's record rate of 3.54 percent.
Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. A weakening U.S. economy has led many investors to shift money from stocks to bonds, which are seen as safer bets. That has pushed Treasury yields to historic lows.
In theory, low mortgage rates should provide a boost to the troubled housing market. But rates have been below 5 percent for nearly two years and haven't helped home sales much. Rates on the 30-year fixed loan were near 6.5 percent five years ago and higher than 8 percent in 2000.
Sales of previously occupied homes fell in June for a third straight month to a seasonally adjusted 4.77 million. The pace is lagging behind the 4.91 million homes sold last year — the fewest since 1997.
New-home sales also declined in June and are trailing last year's sales, which were the worst on records dating back nearly half a century.
Many people can't take advantage of the low mortgage rates. Banks are insisting on higher credit scores and larger down payments from applicants. Others have too little equity invested in their homes to qualify for loans.
Historically low rates have helped fuel another boom in refinancing.
Applications jumped nearly 22 percent last week from the week before, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinancing made up more than 75 percent of all mortgage activity, the group said. That's up from 70 percent the previous week and the highest level of refinancing this year.
Still, a higher number of refinancing applications is unlikely to have much economic impact. Many people have little or no equity in their homes. So they are not pulling money out when they refinance for home-improvement projects or other big expenditures. And many people already refinanced last year, when the 30-year loan fell to a record low.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac collects rates from lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 3.13 percent, its lowest level on records that go back to January 2005. Last week's reading of 3.18 percent also was a record low.
The average rate for one-year adjustable-rate loans plunged to 2.89 percent from 3.02 percent last week. That's a record low dating back to 1984.
The rates do not include extra fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount.
The average fees for the 30-year and 15-year fixed loans was 0.7 point and the five-year and one-year adjustable-rate loans was 0.5 point.

is still very sexy even at her age. She got divorced long ago and George is the
only her son. He just turned 18. They are great friends even though many teenagers
at his age have problems with parents. The only thing that bothered him in his
relations with mothers is that she was extremely jealous to his girlfriends. He
couldn�t understand why till one night she came to his bedroom is short robe to
talk about it. As you may see their conversation ended with really wild and messy
Amanda�s sons grew up it was very painful for her to watch them having fun at
parties and clubs and dating young girls. She did her best to stay # 1 for them.
Sons often joked that she�s she only woman in the world they will ever love. Once
they had pretty frank conversation about sex and Amanda said desperately she�s
not able to explain everything they ask her about but she�s able to show! That
was nasty but her sons took her right. It was their first incest experience so
they recorded it on video.
grew up without mother. She died when Helen was a just small kid. Her father Artur
took care of her, protected and cherished her. Sure, for Helen loved him not like
a father but like a man. But she couldn�t confessed herself in it till the day
he kissed her lips while she was sleeping. She woke up and finally realized how
happy she is. She never enjoyed sex with guys from her college as much as she
enjoyed it with Artur. She got her cunt eaten out as never before and then stuffed
with her father�s strong cock.

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion...updated
National Weather Service Billings Montana
1032 am MDT Thursday Jul 28 2016
Vorticity maximum is currently moving through southern Carter and Powder
River counties heading southeastward and dragging cloud cover and
precipitation with it. In clearing to the west of this feature
already seeing cumulus development in its wake. Quick look at
06/12z model runs show good instability and shear axis over
western zones where middle level frontogenesis and low level upslope
will reside this afternoon. This area...along and west of a
Roundup to Sheridan line...looks like the best location for a
stronger thunderstorm with perhapse isolated small hail this
afternoon. Further to the east middle level lapse rates drop to
barely conditionally unstable this afternoon and shear is under 20
kts which would inhibit strong storm development except for areas
right along the Wyoming/Montana state line. Though instability aloft is
diminished there is plenty of moisture and low level instability
for showers and general thunderstorms over southeast Montana and
high scattered probability of precipitation seem reasonable there. Temperature forecast
seems reasonable...though cloud cover may keep a few locations a
bit cooler than forecast.
For the immediate Billings area hi-res models pointing to a
stronger thunderstorm or two moving through between 3pm and 6pm
this evening. Hail up to penny size would be the main threat.
Short term...valid for tdy and Fri...
Area of pv tracking across south central Montana is currently producing
a large area of showers and thunderstorms from Big Timber to
Billings down to Sheridan. This energy will move into northeast Wyoming
over the next several hours and would expect pcpn to do the same.
Have adjusted pops up thru the remainder of the night til 15z this
morning to account for this activity.
Moist and unstable northwest flow with more shortwave energy will bring
showers and thunderstorms across the cwa this afternoon and
evening. Convective available potential energy on the order of 500-1200 j/kg is enough for severe
storms but shear will take a notable drop from Wednesday. Current
ncar ensemble is consistent with latest rap runs in showing
greatest shear of 30-40 kts across our west and south, but only
20-25 kts across our north and northeast. Cannot discount a few
severe strong or severe storms today but our central to south
central parts may be most favored as this is also where pv will
exist late this afternoon, and northwest flow may result in a boundary in
the Lee of the snowies. Will continue messaging for storm
potential today. By this evening, shortwave will pass and we will
introduce subsidence from the west. This will allow for convection
to diminish quickly after sunset, I.E. It will not be a repeat of
the current night.
Another weak shortwave will emerge from North Pacific trof and
drop thru eastern Montana on Friday. Low levels will remain fairly
moist with easterly sfc winds, and although mid level temps will
begin to warm, convective temps in the upper 80s should be
achievable. Have expanded isolated pops to cover the mountains and
our central and eastern lower elevations. Any convection on Friday
will be non-severe.
Today will be the coolest day of the week with highs in the lower
to mid 80s, and perhaps only upper 70s in the east near Baker.
Warming trend begins Friday with highs back to the upper 80s or
near 90f.
Long term...valid for Sat...sun...Mon...Tue...Wed...
The latest models are in good agreement through the extended
period. High pressure ridging will build over the forecast area in
response to an upper low and trough that will be situated over
southwest Canada Saturday into Sunday. This will result in rising
heights with dry conditions and temperatures well into the 90s.
As the upper low and trough move across southern Canada it will
bring a cold front across the forecast area Sunday
afternoon/evening resulting in a slight chance for a shower or
thunderstorm. Otherwise, the front will not have much impact
except to lower temperatures just a few degrees for Monday. Weak
ridging builds Monday into Tuesday before a stronger system moves
across the northern portions of the state bringing another front
across the area late in the day Tuesday or Tuesday night along
with a returned chance for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures
will cool down to normal or just slightly below normal Wednesday
and Thursday with middle to upper 80s for most areas. Hooley
Some localized low ceilings from kbil to kmls will continue
through late morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms and
associated MVFR to IFR conditions will be possible across the
entire forecast area later this afternoon and evening. Otherwise,
skies will be partly to mostly sunny with VFR conditions
prevailing. The mountains will be obscured at times throughout the
day. Hooley/reimer

Oilers goaltender Laurent Brossoit hit the rink to participate in some Oilers Hockey School on-ice sessions with youth hockey players in St. Albert on Wednesday.
As the netminder helps to coach young, up-and-coming players on cultivating new skills, he's equally aware of the 'newness' that awaits him, and goalies across the league, this year.
For the 2016-17 season, goaltenders will be required to wear equipment better suited to their body size.
"I've yet to see any of the gear, I'm nervous to see it," said Brossoit. "I don't know how much they've taken up, I'm pretty sure it's just the chest protection and the pants."
Reductions will be made to the pants and upper body of the equipment, thus cutting down on unnecessary "fat" which didn't serve to protect goaltenders, only help some gain an unfair advantage.
The call to action for the equipment change came from a number of the league's top goaltenders with an end-goal that would see goaltending position be more about skill and less about the puck ricocheting off enormous equipment.
"I mean we'll see what it looks like and I'm sure, like we always do, the goalies will adapt and be just as good."
It was a big year for Oilers goaltender Laurent Brossoit.
The 23-year-old netminder, who appeared in 31 games with the Oilers American Hockey League affiliate Bakersfield Condors, posting an 18-9-3 record, a 2.66 goals against average, a .920 save percentage and three shutouts, signed a two-year contract extension with Edmonton in February.
"Last season was a huge learning curve for me... It opened my eyes on what I need to work on." @LBrossoit tells #Oilers TV's @TomGazzola— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) July 21, 2016
Though a few months have come and gone since the Oilers said their farewells and played their last game at Rexall Place on April 6, Brossoit said he relishes the opportunity the club gave him in the 2015-16 season.
"It was awesome," he said. "Even though, you know, the numbers and a couple of my performances didn't go the way I planned, [it was a] huge learning curve for me and it really opened my eyes to what I need to work on and the things I need to get better at. I was very, very happy and fortunate that I got that opportunity."
Brossoit, who played in five games with the Oilers during the remainder of the season, posted a 0-4-0 record, a 3.61 goals against average and a .873 save percentage.
Though the 6-foot-3, 200-pound goaltender admits he was disappointed in how some of his game-play panned out, he also felt encouraged, having gained more knowledge on the league, recognizing where there is room for improvement and what is to be of expected of him at Oilers camp in the coming months.
"So far, [improving] the mental side, just staying calm and prepped for situations — not that I don't have that ability — just to have that ability at the bigger stage," said Brossoit. "[Including] cardio and just upping every aspect of my game."
Servus Credit Union Place in St. Albert was a-buzz on Wednesday as youth hockey players took to the Mark Messier and Troy Murray arenas for their afternoon on-ice sessions at the Oilers Hockey School.
A special guest was also in attendance this week as Oilers goaltender Laurent Brossoit took some time away from family and friends to join in on the activities with the eager, young players.
"My summer's been excellent, it's been long, so I've had a lot of time to catch up with family and friends and get a little relaxing in along with the training," said Brossoit.

In town for the eighth annual hockey school, Brossoit found some time from his busy schedule to join-in on the 4-week program to spend some time and work with the kids.
The 6-foot-3 netminder said he was more than ready to get his skates on and was looking forward to getting involved in the on-ice sessions.
"I've had the itch (to play) for a while now," said Brossoit. "This is the longest summer I've had since my professional career and…the eagerness is there and it's been there for a bit."

Of the 36 prospects attending Oilers Orientation Camp this week, five are goaltenders.
Goaltending Coach, Dustin Schwartz, and Goaltending Consultant Sylvain Rodrigue have worked with each netminder, breaking down their strengths and weaknesses so each prospect can see the areas that need work and where there is room to improve.
"You kind of take each one as their own individual," said Schwartz. "Ultimately, whether they're a part of our organization or not, they're here. In this moment, you're working to help them all be better. If they can leave the camp and have a few things improved in their game I think that it benefits everyone."
Two of the five goaltenders joined the organization this year.
Nick Ellis, 22, was a college free agent and signed a two-year entry level contract in early April. He recorded a 25-7-4 record, a 1.80 goals against average, a .936 save percentage and four shutouts playing for Providence College.
"He's a wonderful kid, he's got a great compete level," said Schwartz. "He never quits on a play. He's got a few things that he's aware of and that we talked about even prior to him coming here that he wanted to improve on and we were on the same page right away, so it was good to have that dialogue before he came to camp."

Meanwhile, Dylan Wells, 18, was selected by the Oilers in the fifth round, 123rd overall, at this years NHL Draft. The goaltender played 27 games for the Ontario Hockey League's Peterborough Petes this season, recording a 9-13-3 record, a 4.59 goals against average and .871 save percentage.
"He's a big kid, he's pretty athletic for his size, he moves well," said Schwartz. "There are things in his game that he needs to work on, but he's still young so I think there's lots of time to develop some of those skills. We kept it to one thing at a time with him this week, making sure that he understood and continued to build the reps in so he can make it become more of a habit. I think he's going to put the work in this summer. He's very diligent, a good athlete off the ice as well so there's some upside there that I think is definitely a real bright future for him."
Overall, Schwartz said it was important that he and Rodrigue looked beyond evaluating each netminder and really break down what each goalie could work on to improve their style of play.
"We've talked a lot about details in their game and development and for the importance of moving and take the next step in their career for some of them that's going to be taking on a start job this year, for others its going from college to play pro hockey," he said. "We've had a lot of conversations and all of them have been receptive."
Oilers General Manager, Peter Chiarelli, said he has been pleased with how the events of Orientation Camp have unfolded.
"I think this is a good developmental tool, it does a couple of things that I see are significant," he said. "It does bring all the prospects under the same umbrella for a good period of time where we can instil in them some principles and some skills and some kind of overriding philosophies we have as an organization."
Chiarelli said he looks forward to watching tonights fourth annual Billy Moores Cup, which will split the prospects up into two teams to face off against each other.
"It's not used as an evaluation tool but it will be nice to see a scrimmage," he said.
Just as much as the camp is for the players, Chiarelli sees a great deal of opportunity during the week-long event.
"It brings all our coaches together…and they're able to refresh and talk about a plan going forward," said Chiarelli. "And it's bit of a wrap up organizationally, everyone's together under the same roof where we can talk about what we see on the ice…and how we're going to plan going forward. It's a great facility and a great area, it's my first time, the people are really friendly and all the facilities are great and I think it's been a pretty productive few days."
Oilers goaltending prospect Nick Ellis's season may have come to an abrupt end on March 25 when his team, the Providence College Friars, fell in a 2-1 overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth in the Northeast Regional semi-final, but with the end of one hockey season, a new chapter is set to begin.
On April 7, Ellis signed a two-year entry level contract with the Oilers. Though he admits it was a difficult decision to part ways with his college team, he's excited for the new opportunity.
"I'm really comfortable with my decision," said Ellis. "Especially, coming to this camp, I really feel comfortable around the coaching staff. It was a really tough decision, but I know I made the right one."

The netminder admits that a lot of what helped him make his decision came to rest on Oilers Goaltending Coach, Dustin Schwartz.
"He made me feel really comfortable coming here, and he knew my game and what I needed to change and I really agreed on that," said Ellis.
Ellis, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, appeared in 36 games this season with Providence, posting a 25-7-4 record, a 1.80 goals against average, a .936 save percentage and four shutouts.
"It was just so much fun, we had a great team both on and off the ice. It was really fun to play a lot of games and just go out there and have fun."
He was a two-time Hockey East goaltender of the month winner after his performances during the months of December and February.
Tonight is the night as all 36 prospects, who have been split into two teams all week, — Team Gretzky and Team Messier — gear up to play one another at tonight's fourth annual Billy Moores Cup.

As Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan continues to watch the 36 prospects perform on ice and participate in a week-long session of team bonding, one question hangs in the balance, will the Oilers 2016 NHL draft fourth-overall pick, Jesse Puljujarvi, crack the lineup for the start of this season?
"That's a difficult question for me to answer at this point because he hasn't been on the ice," said McLellan.
Puljujarvi went under the knife following the U18 World Championship for a minor knee surgery and has been working on regaining his strength.
"The words I keep hearing are complete player... We feel he has the opportunity to compete for a spot." Coach McLellan on @Jpuljujarvi— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) July 5, 2016
Though he may not be participating in the on-ice drills, he has been soaking in the week-long experience, bonding with a number of the prospects.
"Obviously, we've done our homework video-wise and through the scouting staff and the words that I keep hearing are [that he's a] complete player," said McLellan.
"He plays a full 200-foot game and has an energy and a passion level that is real strong and high and a skill-set to go with it. We feel that he has the opportunity to compete for a spot this season. We need to get him healthy here and get him up and running. But once that happens the rest will be up to him and his teammates to make sure that he feels comfortable and I hope that he can challenge for a spot and make our team out of camp, but that's yet to be seen."

UC Santa Cruz future lies in Silicon Valley
With the brains of its researchers, the science of NASA and the lure of cash from private companies, the university is positioning itself to carve out a new niche -- a catalytic "synergy" as they say -- at the intersections of bioscience, information technology and nanoscience.
It's part of the new, so-called private-public partnership model, where university scientists no longer design experiments only to have them "just sit in journals," said UC Santa Cruz's Patti Ponzini, director of the Advanced Studies Lab, one of several ventures between NASA and the school.

The founders of Gilt Groupe reveal how they built the Web's most famous fusion of high tech and high fashion.
For years, sample sales have lured fashion insiders to makeshift storefronts in anonymous locations, offering dramatic, fleeting bargains on coveted designer brands. For those lucky enough to make an exclusive e-mail list, a Marc Jacobs or Hermès sample sale is a drop- everything-and-run event.
Harvard MBAs Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, best friends and dedicated sample sale shoppers, saw the industry-changing potential of taking sample sales onto the Internet. In November 2007, they launched their members-only Web site to a select national group of thirteen thousand young, high-end shoppers. They offered 50-70 percent off luxury brands like John Varvatos and Valentino, in "flash" sales lasting just thirty-six hours. It became an immediate viral hit as members rapidly invited friends to join. In four short years, Gilt Groupe has spawned dozens of imitators and grown to five million members and has a valuation of $1 billion.
Maybank and Wilkis Wilson explain how they launched a simple yet groundbreaking business that catered to their passions. They provide straight talk on how to build a start-up and negotiate the conundrums that still face women in business. For Gilt customers interested in an inside view of the fashion industry, they also provide a revealing portrait of key players like Zac Posen, Christian Louboutin, Valentino, and many others.

Wasted, Exhausted Veteran Takes Occasion to Warn His Chosen Successor About Perils of Office
Visit to zoo's "Extreme Jungle" exhibit apparently sparks memory of famed Guns 'n Roses lyric.

NBA Notes
Executive director Billy Hunter fired his daughter and daughter-in-law from the NBA players' association, less than two weeks after a review criticized his hiring practices. In a letter to the union's special committee of players, dated Jan. 23, Hunter informed them that Robyn Hunter was to be let go as of Jan. 25. Megan Inaba will stay on through the All-Star break to help coordinate activities in Houston before leaving her job Feb. 17.
Hunter also states in the letter, obtained by The Associated Press, that the NBPA won't work with Prim Capital, the banking firm that employs Hunter's son, Todd. The letter was first reported by Bloomberg News.
Also Tuesday, Arn Tellem, one of the NBA's most powerful player agents, is calling for the ouster of Hunter, a step he is urging his clients to take next month during the annual players' during All-Star weekend in Houston. Tellem outlined his position in a letter sent to his players Monday night. In the letter, which was obtained by The New York Times, Tellem blasts Hunter's record as executive director of the NBPA and accuses him of using the union for personal gain.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring the possibility of signing center Greg Oden, the former No. 1 overall pick whose NBA career has been sabotaged by injuries, The Associated Press reported. CBSSports.com first reported the Cavaliers and Miami Heat were pursuing Oden. Oden has undergone three major knee surgeries.
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman has been trying to keep a lid on his wife's health issues that caused him to be away from the team for three weeks. Mary Kay Adelman didn't seem to understand why, so Rick Adelman has revealed that she has been suffering from seizures. Rick Adelman plans to coach tonight against the Clippers.
Dallas center Chris Kaman did not play against Portland because of a concussion that Coach Rick Carlisle said he suffered in a collision during practice Monday.

Submitted by: Doug Nishimura on Aug 05, 2010A few weeks ago we brought home our second Vizsla from Albin's Vizslas and could not be happier with our selection of the little girl. Our male now almost three is a great companion and the definition of the versatile vizsla: a housedog, a field dog, a running companion.
When were looking for our first family pet, a friend mentioned a Vizsla knowing nothing about the breed or breeders. After a quick web search, I call the closest one to me. We were extremely lucky it was Rodney and Anne (Albin's Vizslas). Not only do they take great pride and dedication in the breed through their affiliation with many of the regional Vizsla clubs and careful selection of the bloodlines they choose to use. They are more than willing to offer their support from basic house training and food to advanced field training
Rodney and Anne are outstanding people and set a very high standard on what a gun dog breeder should be and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality Vizsla!
Submitted by: John B Greenwell on Jul 28, 2010We purchased what I consider to be the world's best Vizsla from Albin's Vizslas. When we first met the Albins to look at the puppies, I wasn't too impressed; all puppies are cute, but, then Rodney let the adult Vizslas loose. I couldn't hand over the deposit quick enough. As new Vizsla parents, the Albins were only a phone call away. In fact, when Willie needed surgery, Anne Albin accompanied us on the day of surgery and went back with my wife the next day to pick him up. Rodney campaigned my boy Willie successfully completing his JH. The Albins are the real deal. There is no need to go any further when looking for a puppy. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have. My boy Willie is the pick of the litter as far as I'm concerned!
Submitted by: Mark Sullivan on Jul 28, 2010I got my first Vizsla (Daisy) approximately 11 years ago and when it came time to get our second we did extensive research before settling on a pup from Rodney Albin.
Our Jasmine is now almost three (3) and has a tremendously friendly personality. When not hunting she can be found curled up next to us on the couch or swimming with the kids at the lake. In the field she is one of the best Vizslas I have seen with tremendous bird drive and stamina. In short she is a poster child for a dual purpose dog and we couldn't be happier.
While we love Jasmine and think she has been a great fit for our family we can't say enough about how supportive Rodney and Ann have been with us. They have patiently answered every question, given endless hours of training support etc. If you call them they are always their to help or encourage. Rodney is also active in supporting the breed by his involvement in various Vizsla club activities.
If you are someone who wants a great Vizsla and the long term support of a knowledgeable breeder you can't go wrong with getting a pup from Rodney and Ann Albin.

Having sat in this chair for more than two decades, I must admit that I have become somewhat jaded in the sense that there are few developments which actually give me cause to pause. Of course there are the spectacular casualties that will never cease to amaze, but on the business side there are very few real showstoppers.
Then there was last month.
Just as I was literally packing up to head down to New Orleans for the International Workboat Show, news broke that U.S. ship owner TOTE Inc. had sealed the deal to build the world's first LNG-powered containership (it is a dual fuel MAN main driver, but the full intent is to operate on LNG the majority of the time). As the ships (two firm, three options) are intended for the U.S. to Puerto Rico Jones Act trade, there was no surprise that they must be built in the U.S., in this case at San Diego-based NASSCO. On the surface, to think that a U.S. ship owner and a U.S. shipyard have collaborated to build a ground-breaking, technologically advanced, world-class ship that will not be painted grey is truly amazing. On the surface, that is.
"I'm a little surprised that it came as fast as it came, but I'm not surprised that an American ship owner has decided to invest in this technology," succinctly summarized Ole Grøne, long-time Senior Vice President Low-Speed Sales and Promotions at MAN Diesel & Turbo.
Ship owners large and small are facing ever stringent rules governing the emissions their vessels put into the sea and into the air. TOTE, which runs six ships in its Puerto Rico and Alaska services, was forced to introduce new containerships, as the ships serving its Puerto Rico trade must be pulled from service in 2019 due to North American ECA regulations.
When I spoke to Anthony Chiarello, President and CEO of TOTE Inc., last month regarding the deal, he essentially said the decision to build these groundbreaking ships with an LNG powered main drive was a no-brainer.
"I don't know what LNG is going to cost three years from now when the ships come out; but I absolutely know what the impact will be in terms of emissions: that's not going to change. If there's an advantage from a fuel cost perspective, that will be wonderful, but that's not what this decision was based upon: it was purely an environmental consideration," Chiarello said.
And for followers of the U.S. shipbuilding market, it should equally be of little surprise that NASSCO landed the order. The shipyard has an established relationship with the owner, but more so it has – under the steady guidance of long-time leader and president Fred Harris – been an investor in itself, via relationships with design and procurement partner Daewoo Ship Engineering Company, and directly through investments in its facilities, people and modern management initiatives.
"I think this contract symbolizes two significant points," said Harris. "First, the United States can still take a leading position in the global maritime industry by smartly teaming and learning from world-class shipbuilders … and second, this contract represents that the Jones Act is alive and well."
Coverage of the deal and the new ships, with insights from leading executives at each of the main players, starts on page 32.
In the big picture, the TOTE deal is really just a microcosm of the trend that will define shipping to and through 2020. The focus on marine fuels, lubes and emissions is growing daily, and while vessel owners lament (to put it very nicely) additional layers of regulation, it is the reality of the world in which they operate.
Literally, it is almost impossible to turn a page in this publication this month which doesn't in one way or another address energy and its effects on the shipping industry. The USS Makin Island, which was widely hailed as a technological marvel when it was delivered, is now back from its first deployment, and according to the Navy the fuel-saving numbers courtesy of the ship's hybrid electric propulsion systems are staggering: 4 million gallons of fuel and more than $15 million saved. Henrik Segercrantz reports starting on page 28.
While the global maritime market has been in a collective economic funk since the global financial crisis and ensuing economic malaise of 2008, many signs indicate the abyss has been reached, and in true cyclical maritime fashion, a collective ramp-up in business across the board can be expected starting today, but really picking up steam and moving fast from mid-2014 forward. While the notion of investing in your fleet to meet environmental regulations seven years down the road may sicken the stomach looking at current financials, you can be sure that the quality, long-term players are starting to invest today in preparation for tomorrow.

Entering third grade was a big deal for me. It had nothing to do with school though. It was all about the fact that I was eligible to become a member of Wakeman Boys & Girls Club. That meant that a three minute walk from my house gave me access to bumper pool, ping pong, and basketball. I absolutely loved it. While it was mostly fun and games for me, I knew that there was more to the club than that. We were required to take our hats off when we entered the club, and all of the rules were enforced strictly, but fairly. It wasn't a place to go and get into trouble. That's exactly what Boys & Girls Clubs of America wants. They are an Atlanta, GA based national non-profit with clubs all across the country that aims to "promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence."
The first Boys Club was opened in 1860 in Hartford, CT. The goal was to keep boys from roaming the streets. In 1906 a number of Boys Clubs decided to join together, and that's when the idea of a national organization really started to take hold. You could say that the idea worked out considering that there are now close to 4,000 chartered facilities (you should check out all of the organization's Facts and Figures). What's even more impressive is that in 2011 "The Chronicle of Philanthropy placed Boys & Girls Clubs of America in the No. 1 position among youth organizations for the 18th consecutive year."
It's hard to fully describe how much this organization has positively impacted American youth, but if you visit their website, you'll learn more about what they do and why they do it. If you'd like to join them, take a look at Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Careers page. They offer pages for both National Headquarters and Local Club opportunities. The former includes an Assistant Account Relationship Director position that looks like a great fit for a new or recent grad.

VIDEO: Reclimbing the classics #6 - Hubbleby Björn Pohl - UKC Aug/2014
This news story has been read 9,280 times
The Mammut Reclimbing the classics - series has now come to a route that doesn't need much introduction: Ben Moon's Hubble, ~8c+, at Raven Tor.
Sean McColl had four days between the Innsbruck and Hamilton bouldering World Cups to try the route.
Hubble was first climbed by Ben Moon way back in June 1990 and has only seen a handful of ascents, all by British climbers, since. Some say it should be regarded the first 9a in the world.
I had a quick chat with Sean when he was trying it:
Hey, so Hubble is difficult? I guess there's a reason Ondra and Megos couldn't do it...
It's true...
Doesn't mean you can't though...
I've done all the moves, hardest for me is putting in a funny knee bar.
Yeah? Do you use a knee bar on the crux then?
Yeah I'm trying to...
Guess more or less the whole route is the crux as it's so short though...
That as well.
How much time do you have to do it? I mean Toronto is pretty soon.
Four days total, this was my second and I'll rest tomorrow, so one last day Friday, then leaving.
So not very long.
Let's hope for crisp conditions and a little bit of luck then!
Would be amazing if you could do it "on demand" so to speak.
Yeah i know...and also so I can kind of "Make fun" of Adam and Alex ;)
Hahaha, that would be a bonus for sure...
Well, good luck with that!
Thanks :)
In the end, four days wasn't enough for Sean, even if he was close. The conditions, pretty wet, weren't ideal either.
