J-S Letter to the Editor: Lightbulb confusion It has been hard, confusing and conflicting to keep up with information on replacement bulbs, and local stores don't always stock all that's available. I thought you might want to share the following with your readers. — Steve Spudich, Freeport ENERGY SAVING BULB FACTS FROM GE As of this January, GE no longer makes 40 or 60 W incandescent bulbs, except they still make old type candelabra and appliance bulbs (such as for a refrigerator), 3 way bulbs, and halogen bulbs. 100W production ended in 2012 and 75W in 2013. Energy saving compact fluorescent lamp and light emitting diode replacement bulbs use an average of about � less electricity. Special old type round enclosed compact fluorescent lamp bulbs are now made for use with "clamp-on" shades and as decorative lighting. Special compact fluorescent lamp bulbs, in specially marked packaging, are made for use with rheostats (dimmers). Yellow "Bug Bulb" compact fluorescent lamp bulbs are also now made. Packaging of early compact fluorescent lamp bulbs say not to use them in fully enclosed fixtures, but the exclusion is being dropped with the recommendations that only the base of the bulb touch the fixture and that fixtures have no magnifying lens - specially in recessed fixtures. Light emitting diode bulbs use about the same electricity as compact fluorescent lamp, cost a lot more, but last a lot longer. — 800-435-4448; gelighting.com

1st step for private water well testing OK'ed
July 26, 2013
The Lycoming County commissioners unanimously approved a $250,000 grant application that, if approved by the state, will be a locally unprecedented project to support a countywide groundwater qualit......
Did anyone read the article or just what they wanted to see? This is a test of private wells, not necessarily related to Marcellus Shale. If you have a private well, no where near a drill site, you may be selected for testing. While I am not a fan of the Marcellus Shale, mostly because of the water they waste and the natural forest that they fragment, I am not a supporter of mandated testing private wells. If the individual wishes the well to be tested, fine. That should be their option not the government's. There has long been talk by some to control the water rights not connected to municipal water authorities for profit and I fear may be a starting point for that. More research and attention should be paid to this process.

My property was in the flood plain. The few times the flood waters came onto my property (Agnes 72 for example), I had my water tested. The thing is most people with wells don't tend to them until they experience problems. How are they going to know that there wasn't already something lurking there before the gas drilling began? I had my water tested about every 5 years on my own.
It's called taking responsibility, something many would rather relinquish to the government. When you start giving up your freedoms for what you perceive as safety, you start a domino effect and eventually you lose all your freedoms.

The same flaw exists in the Duke study as they had last time. No baseline for those wells.
A second water study was published by the U.S. Geological Survey. It found that some Pennsylvania water wells in areas with no nearby drilling are naturally contaminated with high levels of methane. It also found that 85 percent of the samples had radon levels higher than federal safe limits.
Baseline testing is the answer!
You may not know what is in your current well-water, folks!

Thanks, pinecr, for proving exactly what so many know......facts, tests and evidence are irrelevant to your agenda, so you ignore them.
That is why I am thankful for a court system where justice is blind and not at the whims of a lynch mob.

Waste of money...as we all found out when the people of Dimmock lost their wells to methane from the gas industry and then the gas industry said it wasn't because of their drilling and then the court ruled in their favor..unbelievable!

rick424: "And, VXerick, you would be the first to complain to the government when the gas well next door poisons your water and kills your children."
I would complain to the company that did the drilling before I'd contact the government. However, I don't believe in most cases that the drilling is the cause of water well contamination.
The years I used a private well for water, I did not have children in my home, so I have no response to that.

Rick, I am suprised you even bothered commenting on VX's ridiculous post. Yeah, the county is going spike the samples with drilling chemicals to rig the results. What an idiotic statement....these people are just shaking in their boots because the citizens of Pa. are finally waking up and demanding an end to this invasion.

It's just another form of government interference in our private lives. More of the nanny state that progressives love.
What happens when the results possibly rigged to show deference to a particular political agenda, means people will have a huge expense on their own hands to find another source of water.
It isn't piped into rural areas from municipal sources. Every man for himself. Take away the individual and join the collective. It takes a village and save the children all bundled up in a nice progressive package tied with a big RED bow.

They should do all wells near a proposed gas well, but this is a start.Why should a property owner pay for a baseline test if they did not ask for a gas well next door?

Until a few years ago, 32-year-old Christi Bruchok had never ridden a bike.
"At a young age, I kind of learned to not hate... but I had an aversion to the outdoors and activities like that," Bruchok said Wednesday.
Now she and her boyfriend, Tauru Chaw, are pedaling together through a 17,000-mile tandem bike ride.
The two legally blind cyclists began their journey in Argentina.
And before continuing on to their destination, Deadhorse, Alaska, they're spending a few days in Bend to relax.
The Arizona couple is staying with a couple they met through the Website warmshowers.org, a site connecting long-distance cyclists with free lodging.
"We have only 5,000 (miles) to go, so it's downhill from here on," Chaw said with a laugh.
The couple often camps whereever they can find a spot to settle, but appreciate when people from Warm Showers open their homes so they can shower and get hot meals.
Chaw said they've met thousands of people are their journey, often speaking at schools for the blind or to people with visual impairments.
It's not their first long trip -- they took the tandem bike on a shorter, cross-country jaunt in 2009.
"Rode it from Southern California all the way to North Carolina, and that was like step one," Chaw said.
Chaw told NewsChannel 21 he was born for adventure, and when he found out ten years ago he suffers from a blinding genetic degenerative disease, it was a moment that changed his life forever.
"Either I was going to stay at work and keep on working, or I was going to quit now and go out and do everything I wanted to do in life, in order to kind of see the world before I lose my vision," Chaw said.
He said his vision at present is equal to looking through a thick toilet paper roll. He has no peripheral vision.
Bruchok has been legally blind her entire life. She was born with severe myopia.
The pair are proving to themselves, and the world, that with extra planning and strong determination -- there are no limits.
"It's more important for you to determine your own boundaries, because only you know what your boundaries are," Chaw said.
And they hope to inspire other visually impaired people along the way.
"I can see we're planting the seeds in a young mind - it's exciting," Bruchok said.
Even inspiring their host, who was going through some dark days himself when he got their email.
"This adventure of theirs make me very emotional," Dewey Davidson said.
Davidson, 84 is an adventurer himself -- and broke his neck two months ago while skiing.
"The first time he tried to use his computer (after the accident) he got an email from Warm Showers," said Davidson's wife, Bonnie Davidson.
Chaw and Bruchok wanted to stay with the Davidsons for a couple days during their trip.
"I've got a rough row to hoe, they've got a rough row to hoe, and we'll both do it," Dewey said.
It's a road to lifelong friends and sights that'll last through the darkness.

Two days later, too short of a time to realistically expect a fix, he ran a security scanner against their system to 'verify that the issue was fixed'. That is when things went south and for good reason. Think. He was no longer messing around with the API, he was now poking at a known vulnerability. He was scanning the entire system for weaknesses. There are practical reason's that those scanners aren't run routinely, namely that they can cause massive and unpredictable problems with the system even if it's totally secure.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
The induction of micronuclei is a key characteristic of genotoxic compounds; for example, clastrogens produce DNA strand breakage while aneugens interfere with chromosome segregation. As a result, assays that detect micronuclei have become an important component of toxicology screening for new drug candidates.
Traditionally, micronucleus screening was performed manually by highly skilled technicians using optical microscopy and cell counting; with this time-consuming method, however, analysis was subject to operator variance, bias, and error. An improved alternative is now provided with GE Healthcare's IN Cell Analyzer 2000 high-content analysis system. The sub-cellular resolution of the system enables micronuclei to be easily discerned, while the automated software provides faster analysis and consistent objective scoring.
Guidelines for in vitro micronucleus assays used in genotoxicity testing usually recommend scoring at least 2,000 cells per treatment condition for single samples, or at least 1,000 cells per condition if replicate assays are used. Therefore, a critical factor in establishing robust high-content cell assays is the assurance that sufficient cells are imaged per treatment condition.
This is attained on IN Cell Analyzer 2000 by automatically counting cells "online" as each image is acquired. In this optional acquisition mode, successive fields of view are acquired until a preset cell-count threshold is achieved.
Online cell counting has the additional advantage of reducing plate read times and the data-storage burden as no excess images are acquired once the required number of cells has been imaged.
For the purposes of this tutorial, CHO-K1 cells were seeded onto 96-well Matriplate microplates and incubated with mitomycin C (clastogen) or etoposide (aneugen) for 48 hours to induce micronuclei formation. The cells were fixed with ethanol and stained with FITC and Hoechst 33342. With the online cell-count threshold set to 1,000 cells/well, plates were imaged on IN Cell Analyzer 2000 with the 20x/0.45 NA objective.
The improved performance of the online cell-counting feature in variable cell-count assays is illustrated (Table 1) compared to results obtained using an offline analysis protocol. For mononucleated micronucleus assays configured with multiple replicates per treatment condition, a minimum cell count of 1,000 cells/well is recommended.
Without online cell counting, 34 fields of view needed to be acquired from each well to ensure a sufficient cell count was achieved (based on the maximum field count obtained when online cell counting was applied).
This resulted in a plate acquisition time of 80 minutes with the standard-chip camera, compared to an acquistion time of 37 minutes when online cell counting was applied under comparable conditions. As summarized in Table 1, the use of online cell counting significantly decreased the plate acquisition times for the assay.

Obama Awards Medal of Honor to Marine Injured in Afghanistan
President Barack Obama on Thursday awarded the Medal of Honor to William "Kyle" Carpenter, a retired Marine corporal who was severely injured in Afghanistan when he shielded a fellow Marine from a Taliban grenade.
"If any American seeks a model of the strength and resilience that define us as a people, including this newest 9/11 generation, I want you to consider Kyle," Mr. Obama said at the White House ceremony to award the medal.
Cpl. Carpenter, 24 years old, became the eighth living recipient of the nation's highest military honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.

- President Obama to Award Medal of Honor to Army Sgt. Ryan Pitts
He was serving as an Automatic Rifleman in the 1st Marine Division in Helmand Province when his squad was attacked on Nov. 21, 2010. Taliban forces threw three grenades over a compound wall, according to the Marine Corps. The first grenade injured an Afghan National Army soldier and the second was a dud. The third landed near Cpl. Carpenter and Lance Corporal Nicholas Eufrazio, who were stationed on a rooftop observation post.
Cpl. Carpenter lunged toward the grenade, shielding Lance Cpl. Eufrazio and absorbing most of the explosion.
The resulting wounds were severe, including a skull fracture, multiple facial fractures, the loss of one-third of his lower jaw, a collapsed right lung and multiple fragment injuries, the Marines said.
"The man you see before you today, Cpl. William "Kyle" Carpenter, should not be alive," Mr. Obama said.
"But we are here because this man, this United States Marine, faced down that terrible explosive power, that unforgiving force, with his own body, willingly and deliberately, to protect a fellow Marine," the president said.
Cpl. Carpenter was medically retired last year from the Marines due to his wounds, and is now a full-time student at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
Following the ceremony, he told reporters he was "honored and humbled" by the medal, and recalled generations of Marines–dating back to the Revolutionary War–who fought, were injured and died serving their country.
"I think about the Marines who were with me in Marjah. If I close my eyes today I can still hear their desperate medevacs being called over the radio as they bled out in the fields of Afghanistan," he said.
Cpl. Carpenter, wearing his dress uniform, also thanked his family and the medical staff that helped "keep me alive and put me back together."
The Medal of Honor is awarded to members of the armed forces who distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry above and beyond the call of duty.

2006 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 'Gramolere' DOCG
Mission Codename: The Grandest 'Gramolere'
Operative: Agent White
Objective: Secure an exceptional single vineyard Barolo with an amazing history.
Mission Status: Accomplished!
Current Winery: Fratelli Alessandria
Wine Subject: 2006 Barolo 'Gramolere' DOCG
Winemaker: Vittore Alessandria
The greatest of all Italian wines are arguably made with from the Nebbiolo grape. Barolo, from the Piedmont made this grape famous, and for good reason. Most people don't give Barolo enough time and drink them young, but those patient enough to wait at least ten years, and often as much as 20 plus years are handsomely rewarded with a wine that is the ultimate expression of the grape. The most prized bottlings of Barolo are those from an exceptional single vineyard such as today's from the Monvigliero in Verduno.
Wine Spies Tasting Profile:
Look – Dark and deep garnet and ruby red with very pink and orange hues along the edges and a dark clear core. Clusters of slow fat legs ring the glass that are followed by thinner legs hang for a moment before slowly descending to the wine below.
Smell – This wine has a rich and redolent nose that really opens after decanting (an absolute must with this wine) with aromas of ripe spiced plum and tangy cherry tangy along with other earthy red and black berries are layered over delicious coffee, herbal including black licorice, rosemary and a thyme laced base. Highly complex, add floral violets, savory and mushroom notes, dusty earth, zesty Italian tar, and toasted oak.
Feel – Full-bodied, dry and bold with firm but silky textured, dusty, almost powdery and etched tannins (softens as it breathes) that generously expands to edges of the palate. Exceptional vibrant acidity and a earthy textured minerality that lingers on and on.
Taste – Rich, ripe and deeply complex initially but even more so after this wine opens to reveal its classic bold character. Balanced and its complex herbal and licorice over its plump, tangy and tart red fruit including tangy cherry, plum and raspberry. Zesty tar, floral violets, mushroom, dusty earth and a touch of cedar cigar box emerge and linger framing the fruit perfectly. As this wine opens, after several hours, the flavors integrate and reveal themselves.
Finish – Extremely long with tangy and sweet cherry, raspberry and spiced plum melding with the herbal, earthy and savory notes as this wine's textured tannins, dusty minerality and acidity linger with slowly fading.
Conclusion – The 2006 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 'Gramolere' DOCG is quite simply one of the finest Barolo we've reviewed this year. This is a wine that is both bold, focused but also elegant, representing the best of what Barolo is known for. This wine's textured mouthfeel grasps and frames the fruit and other complex flavors long ito the finish. The epitome of Barolo is its bold elegant power. An exceptional wine that is perhaps five to ten years from getting close to its peak. As all exceptional Barolo, we love pairing this classic with simple buttered tagliatelle noodles and shaved truffles. If enjoying this wine now, be sure to give it plenty of time (open several hours before) or decant, otherwise cellar it for up to ten to fifteen and save it for a special occasion. Buona sera & cin cin!
Mission Report:
SUBJECT: Vittore Alessandria
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY: Show through the wine the elegance and the balance of my territory: the hills of the Langhe area.
WINEMAKER QUOTE: "Wine is the poetry of the Earth." (Mario Soldati)
FIRST COMMERCIAL WINE RELEASE: The first Barolo produced by our cellar was a 1870 Barolo!
AGENT WHITE: Greetings, Vittore, We are thrilled to be showing your 2006 Barolo Gramolere DOCG today. Thanks so much for taking some time to answer questions for our Operatives today.
VITTORE: I'm excited to be featured today on The Wine Spies, thanks for giving this opportunity.
WHITE: Was there a specific experience in your life that inspired your love of wine?
VITTORE: I born and I lived in a small village: Verduno in the middle of the Barolo area surrounded by Nebbiolo vineyards. For my family making wine it's a tradition that has gone on for 150 years.
WHITE: What wine or winemaker has most influenced your winemaking style?
VITTORE: All the wines and the winemakers that are able to give emotions, showing the "terroir" of origin and also stimulating the knowledge of this world.
WHITE: Who do you make wine for?
VITTORE: For wine consumers that love wine.
WHITE: Please tell me a little bit about the wine we are featuring today.
VITTORE: Gramolere is a cru in Monforte d'Alba located between Gavarini and Bussia. Our vineyard has got South exposure, is at an altitude of 400 meters and is a over 40 year old. A big structure and character are the features of the Barolo from Monforte. The wine from Gramolere hill is characterized by delicate notes of herbs that melt into the typical complex scents of leather and liquorice.
WHITE: What is your favorite pairing with today's wine?
VITTORE: I think that it could be delicious with a stew of veal. But in any case the best pairing is with a good company!!
WHITE: In your opinion, what makes the Langhe and Barolo region so special?
VITTORE: There are many reasons that make the Langhe so lucky: for example the personal relationship between the producer and its vineyards, its casks and its customers. That it's possible because, generally, in our region the cellars are family owned ! An other very special feature is the beautiful landscape – very charming-!
WHITE: How would you recommend people approach your wines and wine in general?
VITTORE: First of all with the glass!🙂 Then I think that the best way is going deeper, to the origin, for example visiting the winery, meeting the wine producer and knowing the territory in which the grape is grown, discovering traditions, old recipes and different flavors.
WHITE: Is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
VITTORE: Verduno is unique: it's one of the eleven villages where you can produce Barolo and the only one where you can produce Verduno Pelaverga, one of the smallest and most particular DOC of Italy. I would suggest to try it!
WHITE: Thank you so much for your time. We learned a lot about you – and your wine. Keep up the great work, we are big fans!

Federal prosecutors say five Southern California men have been arrested for allegedly running a $5 million scam on the unemployment system. The indictment announced Wednesday alleges that between January 2008 and March 2011, the defendants registered fake companies with the state and recruited people to pose as laid off employees. The phony employees then filed for and collected more than $5 million in fraudulent unemployment checks. A portion of the unemployment payments would go back to the defendants. U.S. attorney spokeswoman Lauren Horwood says the following men were arrested last week and released on bond: 50-year-old Kenneth Kim Parks, 32-year-old Andre Antonio Walters, 31-year-old Gregory Bart Martin, 46-year-old Michael Ray Taylor, Sr. and 27-year-old Michael Ray Taylor, Jr. If convicted, each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Multiple myeloma is characterized by a unique form of destructive bone disease which occurs in the majority of patients. The bone destruction, which is progressive, is responsible for the most prominent and distressing clinical features of this disease, namely intractable bone pain, fractures occurring either spontaneously or following trivial injury, and hypercalcemia with its attendant symptoms and signs. Although myeloma is a disease with protean features resulting from the effects of the disease on multiple organ systems, perhaps its most important clinical manifestation, and certainly the one which most often heralds the onset of the disease, is the bone disease with which it is associated.
Nature of the Bone Disease
The bone lesions in myeloma, which typically appear on radiographs as radiolucent areas, occur in several patterns. Occasionally, patients develop single osteolytic lesions that are associated with solitary plasmacytomas. Some patients have diffuse bone loss (osteopenia), which mimics the appearance of osteoporosis, due to the dissemination of the myeloma cells throughout the axial skeleton. However, in most patients there are multiple discrete lytic bone lesions occurring at the site of deposits or nests of myeloma cells. Rarely, patients with myeloma have an increase in the formation of new bone around myeloma cells rather than lytic lesions or bone loss, a rare condition known as osteosclerotic myeloma. The extent of the bone disease is an important factor in the prognosis of a patient with myeloma.
Bone remodeling is profoundly impaired in almost all patients with myeloma. Although some patients with other hematopoietic malignancies such as B-cell lymphoma and adult T cell leukemia occasionally have skeletal manifestations, they are rarely as severe and certainly not as common as in myeloma. There is evidence that excessive bone resorption is an early tumor-induced event in myeloma and is often associated with progression from quiescent monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering myeloma to active myeloma. Bone pain is a major cause of morbidity in myeloma and 75-80% of patients present with bone pain as a predominant symptom. The bone pain is often unremitting, but occasionally fluctuates in intensity for reasons that are unknown. Patients with myeloma bone disease are susceptible to fractures occurring either spontaneously or following trivial injury. These pathological fractures mainly involve the vertebrae, ribs, and long bones (most commonly), but occasionally occur in other sites such as the sternum and pelvis. Hypercalcemia, which occurs mainly in patients with advanced disease, is accompanied by characteristic distressing symptoms and signs. Occasionally, hypercalcemia is exacerbated by concomitant acute renal failure that frequently complicates the course of the disease.
Pathophysiology of Bone Lesions in Myeloma
Although the precise molecular mechanisms mediating myeloma bone disease remain unclear, observations over the past 30 years have revealed:
Experimental Animal Models of Human Myeloma Bone Disease: Opportunity to Study Myeloma Cells in their Normal Microenvironment
Until a decade ago, a major drawback to studying the mechanisms responsible for myeloma bone disease has been lack of suitable animal models of the human disease. Human myeloma cells do not home to the bone marrow in naïve nude mice even when injected systemically. This has meant that it has been difficult to establish an acceptable animal model of the human disease to study not only the pathogenetic mechanisms but also to determine the efficacy of various novel therapies. The importance of cell-cell interactions between myeloma cells and resident cells in the bone microenvironment in facilitating not only growth and survival of the tumor cells but also in promoting osteolysis, spurred a number of groups to develop experimental animal models of human myeloma bone disease that are useful for studying the mechanisms involved. These include models in which human myeloma cells are xenografted in irradiated or non-irradiated athymic (T-cell deficient) or SCID mice (B- and T-cell deficient). In addition to being immunodeficient, most of these models are further compromised by the requirement for irradiation to ensure tumor engraftment in medullary cavities, a procedure that almost certainly affects the bone microenvironment. To date, the only myeloma model utilizing immunocompetent, non-irradiated hosts is a murine syngeneic model originally characterized by Radl et al (1988), who described a myeloma bone disease which occurs spontaneously in aging mice of the C57BL/KaLwRij strain. These series of myelomas, designated 5T myelomas, developed at the rate of approximately 1 in every 200 aged mice, and caused a monoclonal gammopathy with features reminiscent of the human disease, including infiltration of the bone marrow by the myeloma cells and most importantly, characteristic myelomatous skeletal lesions. Osteolytic lesions were found in most tumor-bearing mice, and as in humans, very infrequently some mice developed osteosclerotic lesions. Either freshly dispersed myeloma cells from the bone marrow or involved spleens of myeloma-bearing mice can be serially transplanted by tail vein or intraperitoneal injections into fresh naïve recipients of the same strain, or by direct bone marrow inoculation with the disease being faithfully transmitted from mouse to mouse. In order to develop a more convenient animal model of the human myeloma bone disease, we and others have developed cell lines from one of these myelomas, the 5T33 myeloma, which can be studied both in vitro and in vivo. The cell line that we established, designated 5TGM1, which also reproducibly causes characteristic osteolytic bone lesions in young C57BL/KaLwRij mice when injected via the tail vein, produces the monoclonal IgG2b paraprotein and IL-6, hitherto but grows independent of exogenous IL-6 in vitro. Identical results are obtained when 5TGM1 cells are inoculated into immunodeficient (bg/nu/xid) mice. Some but not all mice carrying these myelomas become mildly hypercalcemic, again reminiscent of human myeloma bone disease. Importantly, histomorphometric analysis show that the osteolytic bone lesions in tumor-bearing mice are associated with an increase in osteoclast numbers and activity confirming the validating of this model for studies of pathogenetic mechanisms in myeloma and for preclinical evaluation of novel anti-tumor and anti-osteolytic strategies.
Hypercalcemia in Myeloma Bone Disease
Hypercalcemia in myeloma is due primarily to increased osteoclastic bone resorption caused by local cytokines released by the myeloma cells, which in turn leads to efflux of calcium into the extracellular fluid. This overwhelms the patient's capacity to maintain normal calcium homeostasis resulting in elevated serum calcium levels. However, the pathogenesis of hypercalcemia in myeloma is probably more complex than this. Firstly, not all patients with significant myeloma bone disease develop hypercalcemia. Until the last 5 years, approximately one third of patients developed hypercalcemia, usually late in the course of the disease. This frequency is now decreasing with the advent of bisphosphonates as standard therapy for cancer-induced osteolysis. Hypercalcemia is most common in patients who have the largest tumor volume. The reasons for this are unclear, but may be related to the amount of bone-resorbing activity produced by the myeloma cells, as well as the status of glomerular filtration and renal function. Measurements of total body myeloma cell burden together with production of bone resorbing activity by cultured bone marrow myeloma cells in vitro do not correlate closely with hypercalcemia, although they do correlate somewhat with extent of osteolytic bone lesions. Thus, there are clearly other factors which are involved in the pathogenesis of hypercalcemia in addition to those that promote osteoclast formation and induce osteoclast activation. Probably the most important of these is the impairment of renal function which occurs frequently complicates the course of the disease in patients with myeloma. In addition to impaired glomerular filtration, increased renal tubular calcium reabsorption may also be a contributing factor to the pathophysiology of hypercalcemia and elevated serum PTH-rP levels may play a role in this regard in a subset of patients. In patients with hypercalcemia due to myeloma, there is almost always impaired renal function and an increase in serum phosphate that is associated with decreases in glomerular filtration rate. Markers of bone formation such as serum alkaline phosphatase are usually not increased in patients with myeloma, since bone formation is often not increased and in fact may be suppressed for reasons which are not entirely clear. Patients with hypercalcemia due to myeloma usually respond very rapidly to treatment with corticosteroids, unlike patients with humoral hypercalcemia due to solid tumors. However, efficacy of steroids in this setting may be due in part to their rapid suppression of myeloma tumor growth.
Bone Markers and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) for Monitoring Myeloma Bone Disease
Bone markers may eventually be useful for non-invasive monitoring of the response of cancer-induced osteolytic bone disease to therapy. Earlier markers for osteoclastic bone resorption include the measurement of deoxypyridinoline (Dpyr) crosslinks of collagen, but the usefulness of this and other markers in assessing and monitoring patients with myeloma remains to be unequivocally established. Dpyr crosslinks can be readily measured in the urine (u-Dpyr) by chemical assays or by ELISA, and sensitive as well as specific serum-based assays are becoming increasingly available. Dpyr measurement is much improved over previous markers such as urinary hydroxyproline, urinary pyridinoline or fasting urine calcium. Moreover, a number of studies have suggested that u-Dpyr is more sensitive in distinguishing between treated and untreated patients and may help not only in differentiating between multiple myeloma and MGUS, but may also serve as a marker of the underlying osteolytic bone disease activity. Other studies have suggested that serum levels of the carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), but not the carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (PICP), may be a sensitive prognostic marker of bone disease in myeloma. More information is needed with later generation assays, including measurement of N-terminal and C-terminal collagen telopeptides, and serum TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) measurements. Further studies are needed to show correlation between the levels of these markers, alone or in combination, and evidence of changes in the markers that correlate with bone disease progression in myeloma patients treated with or without bisphosphonates. It remains to be determined if these markers could facilitate determination of the efficacy of dose, determination of optimal mode of administration as well facilitate follow-up of bone turnover in patients with myeloma bone disease especially after specialized treatments such as autologous transplantation.
Parameters of bone formation such as serum alkaline phosphatase are not increased in patients with myeloma, unless the patient has an active fracture undergoing repair. In myeloma patients, measurements of osteocalcin (bone GLA protein) a marker of bone formation show a large scatter. Serum osteocalcin is usually decreased in myeloma patients with advanced disease and more extensive bone lesions consistent with the impaired bone formation. By contrast, serum osteocalcin levels may be normal or even increased earlier in the disease and in patients who have less aggressive or no obvious bone disease. More recently, bone mineral density has been shown to increase in myeloma patients in sustained remission after chemotherapy who have never been on bisphosphonates.
Management of Myeloma Bone Disease: Bisphosphonates and Other Potential Therapeutics
The major symptoms and the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with myeloma are due largely to the progressive bone destruction. Since patients may survive for many years post-diagnosis, clinicians have attempted to devise therapeutic approaches in myeloma that would relieve disabling symptoms, and in particular the severe bone pain, thereby improving quality of life. An early approach was the use of fluoride and later calcium and fluoride, although this combination was ineffective and, in fact, probably detrimental because of associated side effects. More recently, bisphosphonates, which inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption mainly by inducing osteoclast apoptosis, have become the standard anti-osteolytic therapy for myeloma-induced bone disease. Several groups have shown that the more potent second generation (Pamidronate; Aredia) and third generation (Zoledronic acid; Zometa) bisphosphonates not only relieve bone pain, they also produce a rapid, sustained, and significant decrease in the urinary excretion of calcium and hydroxyproline indicating decreased bone turnover. This was first shown with pamidronate (Van Breuklen et al, 1979), and then with clodronate (Siris et al, 1980). Pamidronate and zoledronic acid have since been approved by the FDA in the United States for myeloma patients with bone disease with or without hypercalcemia. These approvals were based primarily on studies evaluating efficacy and safety which showed that in several hundred patients with myeloma, there was a satisfactory response in bone pain, reduced need for radiation therapy, and reduction in vertebral and non-vertebral fractures (Berenson et al, 1995). These studies are consistent with a number of smaller studies in Europe and the much larger study sponsored by the Medical Research Council in the United Kingdom, in which clodronate was the bisphosphonate used (McCloskey et al, 1998). The more recent approval of the zoledronic acid third generation bisphosphonate zoledronic acid for use in bone disease was based in part on studies showing a marked reduction in skeletal-related events in myeloma patients (Berenson et al, 2001, Rosen et al, 2001). This agent is more potent than pamidronate, and this can be used by infusion over a shorter period of time (but not less than 15 minutes). Although the majority of patients with myeloma are now being treated with one of these agents above, it is important to recognize that not all bisphosphonates have been demonstrated to be effective in myeloma. There is no information that alendronate is useful in this disease or what the dose and timing of administration should be, yet there is clearly much off-label use of this compound. The newer bisphosphonate ibandronate has not been shown to be effective in clinical studies, possibly because the doses studied were not optimal (Menssen et al, 2002). Although there have been recent reports that bisphosphonates may be cytotoxic or cytostatic to tumor cells based on in vitro studies (Shipman et al, 1998), there has been little or no beneficial effects of these drugs on tumor burden in patients or in experimental animal models of myeloma. There are still a number of outstanding issues regarding the use of bisphosphonates in myeloma bone disease, including whether an efficacious orally available bisphosphonate can be developed, whether bisphosphonates should be given to patients early in the course of the disease, as well as in a preventative manner to patients before they have obvious bone disease or with MGUS, and most importantly which any of these drugs have a beneficial effect on survival. Research in this area is intensive and is likely to lead to the eventual introduction of new bisphosphonates or related drugs that are safe, can be given to patients orally and lead to powerful and beneficial effects on morbidity and survival as well as mortality.
In patients with myeloma, even when conventional chemotherapeutic regimens reduce tumor burden, the underlying bone disease may remain refractory to treatment. There is therefore a compelling need for the development of novel biologically based therapies that may concurrently improve both the bone lesions and reduce the tumor burden in myeloma. Two such agents that block RANKL effects are OPG.Fc. RANK.Fc and OPG.Fc both inhibit osteoclast activation, and may be more effective anti-osteolytic agents in myeloma because they also effectively prevent osteoclast formation. They have been shown to produce impressive beneficial effects in preclinical models. Importantly, emerging independent data from our group and others suggest that the two novel molecules have additional effects in myeloma in vivo, beyond those on inhibiting osteolysis, notably a significant reduction in tumor burden, assessed histomorphometrically and by monoclonal paraprotein titers, in different preclinical models of human bone myeloma disease. Although the mechanistic basis of this unanticipated reduction in myeloma tumor load remains to be elucidated, these findings potentially constitute a major advance as bisphosphonates have not been shown to date to exert an anti-tumor effect either in preclinical models or in myeloma patients. Although reduction in tumor load as a primary endpoint is not being examined, in on-going Phase I studies a single subcutaneous dose of OPG.Fc has been shown to be as effective as an intravenously administered bolus of pamidronate. It remains to be determined whether anti-tumor efficacy can be demonstrated with these novel molecules in Phase II and III clinical trials in myeloma patients.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Patsy Cline died 50 years ago, and the McCoys at Troubadour Lounge are paying tribute with the second of two big weekends of Patsy Cline music.
On Friday, beginning at 9 p.m., there's a Patsy karaoke contest. On Saturday, Troubadour Lounge hosts Colonel Josh and the Honky Tonk Heroes from Washington, D.C., who will do a George Jones tribute. Admission will be $5, single, or $8, couple.
Pat Stephens and the Hall Brothers will perform their "Patsy's Honky Tonk Torch & Twang" show outdoors on Sunday, which would have been Cline's 81st birthday.
Stephens had loved Cline's music for years, just like millions of fans, and she performed like Cline in musicals in high school and college. Later, she played in a bluegrass band around the Baltimore/Washington area, and little by little they added classic country songs from Cline, Kitty Wells, Patsy Montana or Hank Williams. But it was sometime later she really got the Patsy Cline bug.
"The 'Sweet Dreams' movie in 1985 started it for me," Stephens said. "In 1997, my sister and I took my mom to Nashville to see the 'Always, Patsy Cline' show for mom's 80th birthday. I saw it a few more times since. Three or four years ago, a little theater in Baltimore advertised a Patsy Cline and Emmylou Harris tribute show. I went and heard songs of hers I'd never heard before, new ones I really liked. I looked in my CD collection and found a boxed set of Patsy Cline CDs. I got them out and listened again. I found a bunch I liked."
In 2012, she challenged herself to pick a new Cline song each week to learn. She researched information about the song and posted her findings on Facebook and emails. That year of immersion into Cline and her music prompted Stephens to share what she'd uncovered.
Stephens looked for places to play her new tribute show. In September 2012, she played for the Patsy Cline 80th Birthday Celebration in Winchester that was sponsored by the Patsy Cline Historic House and Celebrating Patsy Cline Inc. She won second place in a sing-alike contest with an early Cline song, "Stop, Look & Listen." She said Mel Dick, Cline's brother-in-law, said it was one of his favorite songs and was glad she chose it.
She did another tribute last March at the Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville for the 50th anniversary of Cline's death in a plane crash in Tennessee.
Pat Stephens is joined by Chick Hall Jr., Chris Hall and Tommy Auldridge on pedal steel. They perform classic country, Western swing, rockabilly and jazz.
Musicians from Nashville will also perform. All musicians are invited. Colonel Josh and his band will perform Sunday as well. Donation for Sunday is $5. Music begins at 1 p.m., with dinner at 2. Attendees are asked to bring a covered dish; meat will be provided.

Get It Running Efficiently!
Posted 24 September 2004 - 08:46 AM
"There's no source code for Windows. It has to not address some areas of the ram because this locks up the Xbox, and it has to not scan the pci bus otherwise, lockup. These are the major problems with Windows. Another thing are the drivers, there are none. The people who have Windows running use it through Bochs or Linux with VMWare. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it will be hard and without source code you will need a way to readdress the ramparts and stop the pci buxs scan. It's exactly the part where I am with my FreeDOS port. I'm just lacking the programming skills, but I'm learning right now at least FreeDOS is open source so I can rewrite it. A bios would be pretty complicated, but maybe load a program into memory that does this [forces the checks to pass] before the actual Windows bootloader kicks in. What I mean is some kind of a layer between hardware and Windows. I'm not experienced enough to write such code, but I think it should be possible."
To sum things up, I am proposing that if the proper code were loaded into memory to force the ram checks and pci bus scan to pass, as well as support the NTFS file structure, we should be at least one GIANT step forward in running Windows on our Xbox EFFICIENTLY. GreenGiant is working on a project for me that will allow remote HDD switching, you will be able to reconfigure settings such as button 1 will boot hard drive 1, bios bank 2, dvd drive 2, etc. through a program run on the Xbox. This will work by storing the settings to memory on either a SmartXX or Xenium chip. I do not know why it will work on those chips, but those were the examples he gave me when explaining how it works, but I do know it will require a modchip. This is relevant because it proves that it is possible to establish the "layer between hardware and Windows" explained by Scan-C. Further, this also proves that it will boot the information stored to memory before the Windows bootloader. That said, I am trying to gather other useful information that may either support, or prove this idea impossible, or to not be a feasible solution. ANY insight on this idea will help. We need to know things such as:

as is said we would need some kind of layer. i don't know enough about what windows is doing at boot time. if it erases everything stored in the ram our layer would also be deleted.
someone who knows what windows exactly does while it's loading?
for the ntfs filesystem... this won't be a problem. once the windows setup is running it can reformat the hdd to fat32 which cromwell supports. isn't ideal if you still want to be able to play xbox games but that's a problem you can think about when windows is at least booting up.
as for storing things on a mod... the smartxx and xenium have some kind of os and this let's you choose which drive to power over their spi bus with some additional hardware. at least that is what i think greengiatn trys to accomplish. this won't work for the needed layer tho...

EDIT: Almost forgot this, if anybody knows of GOOD forums regarding Windows that would help us compile the information we need to know about the boot processes, please don't hesitate to post. If you are interested in helping gather information for the project so we can get things off the ground, PM me. Scan-C can I count you in? It seems like you are interested to see if this is the path to light or just another dead end. I am positive there is light at the end of this tunnel, we just have to generate the interest and have our facts together before attempting to make it happen!

yes count me in. i'm a linux fanatic but this is a challenge and it would be nice to get it going.
the thing about the boot process makes me think of a version we want to try. i think windows 2000 prof would be best here. isn't outdated but doesn't need as much resources as xp.

if i can help in any way pm me.. ive been taking "coding class" at the UofC for a year and a half now and im not bad in the coding part but ive never coded xboxs before... seriously.. great project and i really hope we can get windows running on the box in some way!

for embedded i already told h8raid that it would be illegal to release it without license. that was my main reason to pick 2000. it's up to date, can do anything that xp can and everyone can buy it. if we can develop some kind of bootloader which runs in cromwell everyone could download our code completely legal and install their copy of 2000.
on the other side xpe would be running at great speed and maybe we could leave out the pci bus scan (don't know for sure).
some kind of hard decision

h8raid and i talked about xpe and 2000 pro. don't know if he already told you what we want to use but i think he wrote something like that.

Revived Eagles start season Saturday
The more, the merrier.
The Olympic Peninsula Eagles, a minor league adult football team, recently merged with the Kitsap County Bears and begin play Saturday, May 5, in Port Townsend against the Puget Sound Outlaws.
With one "home game" scheduled at Sequim High School (on June 23) and four at Port Townsend's Memorial Field, the Eagles' roster has grown to 52 players (up from 25 last season) and still boasts a distinct peninsula flavor.
Coach Mike McMahan said former Eagle quarterback Don Purser left the squad to start the Bears, but approached McMahon in the offseason to combine teams.
The Eagles were forced to move their home games to Port Townsend and Sequim after Roosevelt Elementary School in Port Angeles saw half its football field damaged by a mudslide, McMahan said.
Saturday's game features a 6 p.m. kickoff. The game also is a food drive for the Jefferson County Food Bank. Bring two cans of food and get $1 off the $6 adult admission. Students and seniors are $5 and children younger than 12 get in free. For more information, see the team's website at www.leaguelineup.com/opeagles or call McMahan at 360-670-5835.

A deer linked to the Adams County herd where the first cases of Chronic Wasting Disease were found in Pennsylvania recently escaped from a reportedly unlicensed Huntingdon County deer farm, the Harrisburg Patriot-News reported on its website Tuesday night.
The deer escaped several months ago from the Gordon Trimer farm, 4794 Trimers Road, Alexandria, a state agriculture official told the newspaper.
Deputy Agriculture Secretary Mathew A. Meals said the deer came from Freedom Whitetails, 694 Johnstown Road, East Freedom. Freedom Whitetails had bought the deer from the owner of the infected herd in New Oxford, Adams County.
Meals told the newspaper that the Alexandria operation did not have the required license for operating a deer farm from the Agriculture Department and the incident is "under investigation by the department."
Trimer, Freedom Whitetails and a third area operation - Nelson Whitetails of East Freedom - are under quarantine with 27 other Pennsylvania operations, the state said.
Chronic Wasting Disease is a neurological disease found in deer, elk and moose in certain geographic locations in North America, the state Game Commission said. It attacks the brains of infected members of the deer family and produces small lesions that eventually result in death.
There is no evidence that the disease affects humans, according to the Game Commission.
Altoona ices Hempfield
HEMPFIELD - Tom Keating scored two goals to lead Altoona to a 2-1 win over Hempfield in ice hockey on Monday at Kirk Nevin Arena.

Tyler Tiesi, a PIAA state qualifier, and Ray McCollough represented the Colts on the first team, along with Homer-Center's Ian Illig, United's Anthony Bono and Blairsville's Chris Sisitki.
Other Northern Cambria athletes to earn Heritage Conference all-star status were C.J. Wiewiora in boys cross country, Allyson Kopera and Adriana Frontino in girls cross country and Lakyn Fornari in volleyball.
Three Red Flash recognized
LORETTO - The St. Francis University football team's John Kelly, Dane Domonkos and Bishop Neal all earned national honors from the College Football Performance Awards Monday.
Kelly threw for a season-high 263 against Monmouth and added a pair of passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Domonkos returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score to break a seven-seven tie in the first quarter and gave SFU a lead it never relinquished. Neal racked up three tackles, a sack and an interception that sealed the win for the Flash.
Kelly went 16-for-21 throwing with a pair of scores to earn national honorable mention quarterback of the week accolades. The senior also rushed for 46 yards on 16 carries and for a second half touchdown to seal the win for SFU. Domonkos earned co-kickoff returner performer of the week with his 97 yard return for touchdown. Neal earned national honorable mention linebacker of the week honors.

Upshur leaders push for completion of Corridor H
April 11, 2013
Tourism leaders in Upshur County will join with those pushing for the completion of Corridor H at a special get-together Friday at the state capitol....
Puremagix is right. The country is going down the tubes and all our "so called leaders" think about is how they can to tell other people how to live their lives. As far a Corridor H goes. Sometimes I think this state would be better off if it where never finished.

West Wing and Psych actor Dulé Hill has separated from his wife of 8 years, actress Nicole Lyn, citing irreconcilable differences, according to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month.
The documents, which have been obtained by PEOPLE, state that property rights are to be determined and that the couple have no minor children.
During happier times, Hill told PEOPLE in 2010 that when it came to the couple's favorite vacation spot, "My and my wife's families are from Jamaica. It's laid-back, the people are lovely, the food is delicious, and the drinks are always flowing!"
On the USA Network's Psych, Hill, 37, plays the sidekick of a detective claiming to be a psychic. He claimed the Vancouver location wasn't ideal for him and his wife, telling PEOPLE in 2007: "Early in a marriage, you're still trying to find your footing. So spending too much time away from each other isn't good."
On NBC's The West Wing from 1999 to 2006 he played presidential aide Charlie Young.
Lyn's credits include the Fox teen sitcom Student Bodies, according to IMDB, which also notes that she works as a deejay under the name Ms Nix.

Nietzsche's Philosophy of Action
Brian Leiter
University of Chicago
July 6, 2009
Blackwell Companion to Philosophy of Action, 2010
U of Chicago, Public Law Working Paper No. 270
Nietzsche holds that people lack freedom of the will in any sense that would be sufficient for ascriptions of moral responsibility; that the conscious experience we have of willing is actually epiphenomenal with respect to the actions that follow that experience; and that our actions largely arise through non-conscious processes (psychological and physiological) of which we are only dimly aware, and over which we exercise little or no conscious control. At the same time, Nietzsche, always a master of rhetoric, engages in a "persuasive definition" (Stevenson 1938) of the language of "freedom" and "free will," to associate the positive valence of these terms with a certain Nietzschean ideal of the person unrelated to traditional notions of free will.

Egypt, U.S. on Collision Course
Military-Led Government Says It is 'Reviewing' Relationship With U.S. Amid Criticism
Egypt's military-led government said it was "reviewing" its strategic relationships with the U.S. and other Western governments critical of its crackdown on Islamists, deepening the divide between the Obama administration and Cairo.
Amid expectations of more violence in coming days, the death toll rose on Sunday as dozens of Muslim Brotherhood supporters were killed in Cairo in what the government described as a prison-break attempt. The Islamist movement's leaders called for continued defiance against Egypt's generals, despite signs that their supporters were becoming limited in their ability to take to the streets.

Timeline: Egypt in Transition
The weekend developments were the latest signs of the constrained ability of the administration of President Barack Obama to influence events in Egypt. The White House, while deciding Friday to postpone joint-military exercises with Egypt, has indicated it plans to continue sending $1.5 billion in military and economic aid to Egypt as a means to try to guide events there.
But the announcement by Egypt's foreign minister of the review of its ties to the U.S., and growing opposition on Capitol Hill to the aid, might make this impossible.
"The attempts to internationalize the discussions about this event is something that Egypt rejects," Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said Sunday. "I ask the foreign ministry to review the foreign aid of the past and to see if those aids are used in an optimal way."
The comments from Mr. Fahmy hewed to a theme that has dominated Egypt's airwaves and newspapers the past two months: disappointment and hostility toward criticism of Egypt's security forces by Western governments. Interim-government officials have also complained of "biased" coverage in Western media.
Criticism of the Egyptian military's actions grew on Capitol Hill. A widening number of U.S. senators took to the Sunday news shows to challenge Mr. Obama's Egypt policy.
"I think the actions of the last week no doubt are going to cause us to suspend aid," said Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) on ABC. He added that the U.S. should "recalibrate" its aid to Egypt while keeping open lines of communication with the Middle Eastern nation.
The prisoner deaths book ended a bloody week of clashes that have spawned political violence unprecedented in modern Egypt. Egyptians are now looking at yet another week of potential flare-ups after supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and ousted President Mohammed Morsi announced weeklong protests.
The violence has hardened attitudes on both sides, strengthening the appetite for resistance among both Mr. Morsi's supporters and his opponents. Leaders of the movement backing Mr. Morsi issued a call for further demonstrations on Saturday night, the same day that a police raid ended an armed overnight standoff at a Cairo mosque in which at least 173 people were killed. Egypt's military spokesman said 120 soldiers died in the siege.
"We believe that Egyptians are determined to get their freedom back peacefully," said one senior Brotherhood official. "In history, all the revolutions were against very powerful regimes. They succeeded to overthrow them. And this is what we believe that the Egyptian people will do."
In speeches, political leaders in the military-backed government justified last week's crackdowns and asked the public to remain steadfast in the face of what they describe as a terrorist threat posed by Mr. Morsi's supporters.
Senior government officials have defended the crackdowns, saying military and police have shown restraint.
Cairo's crowded capital made a tentative return to normal life on Sunday, even as a monthlong, all-night curfew first imposed last Wednesday remained in place. Businesses that had been shuttered on Saturday were open for the first day of the Egypt's workweek, and the city's familiar congestion once again returned.
Egypt's Interior Ministry called for an end to the so-called "popular committees" of local residents who have set up roadblocks during the curfew hours. The committees, which the ministry had encouraged for much of the past week, had been "abused" by local thugs, the ministry announced.
Both General Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, Egypt's minister of defense and the head of its armed forces, and Mr. Fahmy, the minister of foreign affairs, said that security forces were prepared to use force against pro-Morsi protesters if the former president's supporters continued to use violence. Leaders in the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed Mr. Morsi's presidency, have argued that their demonstrations are peaceful.
"What we do is a reaction and not an action, and we exercise a great deal of self-restraint," said Gen. Sisi in a televised address Sunday afternoon. "I am confirming that those who attack, however, we will face them strictly."
Mr. Fahmy's announcement of a foreign-policy review was a thinly veiled swipe at U.S. criticism of Egypt's recent crackdown on Pro-Morsi protesters. Many Egyptians believe the U.S. has taken the Brotherhood's side.
Some Egyptians have also expressed outrage at Mr. Obama's announcement last week that U.S. forces wouldn't participate in the biannual "BrightStar" military exercises scheduled for this fall. Mr. Obama said he was withdrawing from the exercises after at least 600 people died when the military forcefully dispersed a pro-Morsi protest camp last Wednesday.
The U.S. has given Egypt $1.3 billion each year in military aid since the early 1980s.
Though leaders in Mr. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood have pledged to maintain their vigils, there were signs Sunday that continuing violence had put a dent in the group's ability to organize supporters. In one sign of disorganization, the group canceled one of about a half-dozen marches originally planned for Sunday. But a separate march to the Supreme Constitutional Court in the Maadi neighborhood of Cairo didn't materialize after conflicting reports from Brotherhood spokesmen over the cancellation of all demonstrations on Sunday.
A small group, numbering some two dozen, held a rally about a mile from the courthouse. "Where are your big numbers now?" one passerby shouted mockingly at the group.

RENO, Nev. —-The golden days of multiple offers and fast sales have returned for buyers and sellers of homes in the low-priced end of the market.
Homes selling for around $100,000 and below are among the hottest-selling residential properties in the Reno-Sparks area.
In early December there were 897 homes in the $100,000-and-below price range listed for sale in the Truckee Meadows, says Sherrie Cartinella, president of Reno-Sparks Association of Realtors and broker/saleswoman with Coldwell Banker Select Real Estate in Reno.
Nearly 60 percent of those residences — 528 homes — are currently under contract. And in many cases, homes selling for under $100,000 are receiving multiple offers.
"That has been the trend for the last several months," Cartinella says. "We are seeing that within our office, and I have made offers on several different homes priced under $100,000."
Cartinella points to the example of a young couple that recently bought a home off Robb Drive as an example of the forces driving the Reno-Sparks resale market.
"Their payment was $863 a month with everything included," Cartinella says. "The same floor plan three doors down was renting for $1,200. Why wouldn't you buy? When you can purchase for less than you can rent for, it is an amazing time. That hasn't happened in my lifetime."
The nearly 900 homes on the market priced at $100,000 or below account for the lion's share of the available inventory in the region.
By way of comparison, 403 homes are listed around the Reno-Sparks area's median price of roughly $150,000, and 738 homes in the market are listed in the $100,000 to $200,000 price range, Cartinella says.
The median sales price in the Reno-Sparks market has hovered around $150,000 for several months.
Many of the homes selling for well under that median average are in older parts of Reno and Sparks, or in outlying communities such as Stead, Golden Valley, North Valleys. Lot size is a major factor for homes in lower price ranges, Cartinella says.
The brisk sales activity is due to a combination of low interest rates and low sales prices that have helped buyers formerly priced out of the market become homeowners.
"Agents are pricing properties to sell," Cartinella says. "It is so affordable, and with interest rates staying down that is really a big help, particularly to first-time homebuyers.
"A lot of buyers out there are scurrying a bit to take advantage of the prices and the interest rates — the low interest rate makes a big difference on what they can qualify for and their payments."
Dave Hilbig, broker and team leader for the Keller Williams Group One office in Sparks, says affordability has continued to increase as prices declined.
"The rate of decline has slowed, but affordability has gone up for buyers that were priced out of the market and remained priced out," Hilbig says. "Now the affordability is such that new buyers that can qualify for FHA loans and buyers that previously couldn't buy are back in the market."
Along with former apartment and home renters, another segment of buyers of lower-priced residential properties include investors who purchase the homes out of foreclosure on the courthouse steps. These buyers hope to turn a profit after investing in improvements to the property, such as new paint, carpets or roofing, and placing the home back on the market, Hilbig says.
"We have investors that have purchased homes in that way in Washoe, Churchill, Lyon and Douglas counties," Hilbig says. "They believe there is a margin there. If the investor is savvy, they will find homes that are capable of being placed back on the market and make a profit for themselves."
Distressed properties still account for between 60 to 70 percent of all sales, and that is probably true to an even greater extent for homes in the $100,000 range, Hilbig adds.
The same story is playing out in smaller northern Nevada communities, where severe price reductions and a glut of inventory have reduced the median sales price to well under $100,000.
The median sales price in October for a home in Fernley was $82,100, down 17 percent from the same month in 2010. In Dayton, newly constructed homes are selling for under the $100,000 threshold, says Heidi McFadden, president-elect of the Sierra Nevada Association of Realtors and Realtor/office manager with Realty Executives Nevada's Choice in Carson City.
Last week there were 56 active listings in the Dayton area for homes under $100,000, with an additional 30 homes in escrow, McFadden says. Dayton, which, like Fernley, was among the hardest-hit communities when the economic downturn took hold across northern Nevada, has again become a popular place for first-time homebuyers.
"Now is definitely a good time to buy — there are plenty of homes on the market, and so many are great for first-time homebuyers. There are a lot of new builds in Dayton, and with interest rates the way they are it is good time to buy."
Carson City is seeing its fair share of activity on lower-end residential real estate, but many of those homebuyers are investors snapping up homes to use as rental properties or to flip for a quick profit, McFadden says.
As of Dec. 8 there were 42 active listings for residential properties under $100,000 in Carson City, with an additional 39 homes in escrow. Many of the homes with offers had been on the market for less than two months, McFadden says. Investors, she adds, are much more interested in purchasing properties near the heart of Carson City than in outlying communities.
"It just makes a lot of sense right now for them to be buying; it pencils out. They can buy homes for under $100,000, and in some cases they do not have to do too much to it and can either turn it around or rent it out for $700 to $1,000 a month."
