Advance and Applications
South Carolina Network Selects Wireless Data Transmission SolutionRadio IP Software Inc., a leader in wireless TCP/IP data technology, announces that the South Carolina Palmetto 800 Network, which is owned and managed by Motorola Inc., has selected both Radio IP Mobility Manager and the Radio IP Mobile TCP/IP Gateway as part of its effort to expand the reach and number of users on the network. The South Carolina Palmetto 800 Network puts the state at the forefront of statewide public safety systems that include interoperability between state, local, and federal public safety agencies and major utility companies and health care providers.
Mobile TCP/IP Gateway is an optimized TCP/IP solution for wireless data transmission over private or public RF narrowband networks. Mobility Manager brings administrative functionality to Motorola DataTAC networks, the wireless network technology at the heart of the Palmetto 800 system, including managing handoffs between radio network controllers (RNCs) and a registration host feature that manages mobile-to-host connections through an easy-to-use interface. Both products are part of the Radio IP Software family of wireless data applications.
The selection of Radio IP Mobile TCP/IP Gateway and Mobility Manager is part of Palmetto 800's efforts to upgrade a Motorola DataTAC network to support an expanded user base consisting of public safety agencies, utilities, health care providers, and government. By using Mobile TCP/IP Gateway and Mobility Manager together, the handoff of mobile units between RNCs becomes transparent to the user, and also provides for easier network administration and mobile registration. Initial installation of the Radio IP Software solutions occurred in 2003 and was completed within a matter of hours.
"The selection of Radio IP products will assist Palmetto 800 in achieving our goal of supporting a full range of user needs at the highest level of interoperability available-for day-to-day operations, as well as for mutual aid and task force interoperability," said Jim Weih, Motorola Palmetto 800 System manager. "By deploying Radio IP Mobile TCP/IP Gateway and Mobility Manager we can achieve this level of interoperability, which is particularly valuable in disaster situations when multiple agencies from a range of jurisdictions are involved."
South Carolina's Palmetto 800 supports a range of needs of users from large state agencies to relatively small local governments who are able to benefit from the latest technology at a fraction of the cost required for a system of their own.

Police Agencies Monitor Employee Use of the InternetStellar Technologies reports that its Internet monitoring product has increased efficiency in police departments by providing real-time disclosure of workers' Web surfing and instant messaging activities.
A subscriber-based service, Stellar Internet Monitoring (IM) reports of employees' Internet use to supervisors and managers. Stellar IM increases employee productivity and use of Web resources; the service also provides employers with factual evidence of unapproved activity that serves as an effective tool in defending or limiting employment-related litigation.
"We've had a couple of employees spending an awful lot of time online," said Chief Dwayne Hobbs of the Forest Park, Georgia, Police Department, an agency of 100 employees that currently uses Stellar IM. "We decided we had better pay attention to what's going on."
In Millard County, Utah, the local sheriff's department began using Stellar IM a year ago, quickly discovering how the service can increase workplace efficiency. "Stellar IM is the only product that charts the Web activity of employees in real time," said Paulette Staples, assistant administrator of the 54-employee Millard County Sheriff's Office. "Its instant alerts go right to the source of unapproved activity."

Texas and California Agencies Buy TasersTaser International, a maker of nonlethal weapons, announces three orders of Taser X26 conducted energy weapons and accessories. Police departments in Fort Worth, Texas, Long Beach, California, and Pomona, California, have placed orders.
The largest order came from the Fort Worth Police Department, in the nation's 27th largest city, which purchased 225 Taser X26s and accessories. The Pomona Police Department ordered 170 Taser X26 conducted energy weapons and accessories, and the Long Beach Police Department, in the nation's 34th largest city, purchased 94 Taser X26s and accessories.
"We would like one TASER X26 for each patrol car in hopes of giving us one more tool in the use-of-force continuum before deadly force," said Fort Worth Police Lieutenant Abdul Pridgen. "From everything we have read, the Taser system reduces injuries to officer and suspects," Pridgen added.

Softball Earns Blustery 4-2 Win At Butler
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - - The Ball State softball team picked up a 4-2 win over Butler on a cold, blustery Wednesday afternoon at the Butler Softball Field.
With the wind blowing straight in at over 20 MPH all afternoon, the Cardinals (15-9) found a way to get the bats going in the late innings to secure the win the Bulldogs (8-17).
The Cardinals collected five of their seven hits, and all four runs, in the final two innings. Of Ball State's seven hits, two were doubles and two were triples.
In the circle, sophomore Nicole Steinbach (Merrillville, Ind./Andrean) shined in her first outing in over a week, limiting Butler to two hits over her six innings of work. She also logged four strikeouts in the game, while improving to 5-4 on the year.
While the wind limited the Cardinals sluggers' ability to blast the long ball, senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney) and sophomore second baseman Emily Dabkowski (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam) each collected triples in the game. Gilbert also added a RBI double to raise her career total to 54, which is tops among all active NCAA Division I players.
Senior first baseman Taylor Rager (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) also doubled in the contest, giving her a league-leading 13 on the season and raising her career total to 51 which is third among all active NCAA Division I players.
After five scoreless innings, the Cardinals finally broke onto the scoreboard in the top of the sixth thanks to a one-out rally starting when Dabkowski reached base on an error. Gilbert followed with a RBI double to the left field wall, giving the Cardinals a 1-0 lead.
The rally was not over, however, as Rager followed with a RBI double of her own to center field. Senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) capped the rally with a RBI bloop single just in front of the Butler right fielder to move the score to 3-0.
Dabkowski extended Ball State's lead to 4-0 with two outs in the top of the seventh thanks to a RBI triple to right field. Sophomore center fielder Briana Evans (Tulsa, Okla./Union) scored on the triple after reaching first on a fielder's choice one play earlier.
Butler would get its two runs in the bottom of the seventh with a one-out, two run home run from Kristen Boros. Freshman relief pitcher Jocelyn Rivera (Brooklyn, Ohio/Brooklyn) would recover from the blast by forcing a fly out and then strikeout the final batter of the game.
The Ball State softball team returns to action Friday, when it opens play in the Mizzou Tournament with games versus North Dakota State (1 pm ET / Noon CT) and tournament host No. 18 Missouri (5:30 pm ET / 4:30 pm CT).

Nice, but Ryan Tannehill's wife is currently leading the pack of rookie significant others.
Seriously, she appears to be both an accomplished gymnast as well as a brainy designer for a textbook company. Impressive catch Mr. Luck!

The Montreal, Maine and Atlantic has sold its assets for less than a tenth of its value, according to a report in the Journal.
The operator of the now defunct railway at the centre of the Lac-Megantic disaster last summer, was sold off after entering bankruptcy protection.
The Quebec assets were sold for about $3 million of the total $15 million transaction pricetag.
The value of the Quebec portion, had a market value of about $30 million.
The Central Main and Quebec Railway entered into the deal and is obliged to renovate the tracks between Farnham up to the American border, which is estimated to cost about $10 million, over the next year.
The American firm said it expects to be able to transport dangerous goods in January 2016.

CHAPEL HILL, NC, UNITED STATES - Mar 3, 2014 - Rho
Offers Tips for Decreasing Missing Data in Analgesia Clinical
Chapel Hill, NC ̶ DATE
̶ Rho, a contract research organization (CRO) focused on
bringing new products to market through a full range of product
development services, offers tips on how to limit the amount of
data that goes uncollected during pain trials.
"Missing data can be a very serious challenge in clinical
trials, particularly with pain trials," said Karen Kesler, Ph.D.
and senior statistical scientist for Rho. "Drop outs often
occur in pain trials because side effects and a lack of
efficacy. If you're on the control arm and you're not getting
pain relief, you're much more likely to drop out of the study,"
added Dr. Kesler.
The National Academy of Sciences issued a report in 2010 on the
prevention and treatment of missing data in clinical trials that
has shaken up the status quo on how to deal with missing
data. FDA just issued a draft guidance for analgesic
indications, but the recommendations about missing data, while
sound, are not very specific. Below, Rho provides tips on how
to decrease missing data through study design and study

How a study is executed can also

Niners' Michael Crabtree, Jim Harbaugh convinced refs blew call on critical fourth-and-goal pass
|02.04.13 at 10:16 am ET
The 49ers mounted a furious comeback in Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday night, but they fell just short in losing to the Ravens, 34-31. There also was some controversy, as a fourth-and-goal pass fell incomplete after what might have been a hold on Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith.
"It was a missed call," stated the intended receiver, Michael Crabtree. "[The referee] missed two or three in the game, but that was it right there, the Super Bowl was right there.
"I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to think about it. I don't know, man. What do you think? I thought it was holding."
Should the Ravens have been called for holding on the 49ers' critical fourth-and-goal pass late in Sunday's Super Bowl?
- Yes, it was holding (68%, 1,674 Votes)
- Technically it might have been holding, but the refs were right to let it go in that situation (25%, 623 Votes)
- No, it was not holding (7%, 184 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,477
Added 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh: "You know, I really want to handle this with class and grace, and we had several opportunities in this game. We didn't play our best game, and the Ravens made a lot of plays and battled back. They competed to win. But there's no question in my mind that it was a pass interference and hold on Crabtree on the last one."
Niners running back Frank Gore isn't convinced the best team won.
"They got away with one," Gore said. "We showed we were the better team. It was just a couple plays here, a couple plays there."

Flag Cake
- Cake:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup stone-ground white cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons rainbow or red, white and blue sprinkles
- Frosting:
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ounces chopped white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Garnish:
- 1 cup blueberries
- One 16-ounce container strawberries
- 1 tablespoon apple jelly or apricot jam, melted
- Special equipment:
- Pastry bag
- Rosette tip
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch rectangular baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and coat again with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
Beat the butter with the granulated sugar on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined, and then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and beat in one-third of the flour mixture until just combined. Beat in half the buttermilk and then repeat, adding the flour in two more increments and alternating with the second half of the buttermilk. Stir in the sprinkles. Transfer to the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly. Bake until golden brown and the top springs back to a light touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in the pan.
Run a small knife around the edges of the cake to release the sides and turn the cake out onto a baking sheet. Remove the parchment paper and then flip again onto a serving platter or cutting board so the top of the cake is back on top. Cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting: Place the butter and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add the white chocolate and beat until fluffy. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until very smooth and fluffy.
Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a small rosette tip. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
For the garnish: Place the blueberries in six rows of 6 berries each in the top left hand corner of the cake. Trim and halve the strawberries lengthwise and make four rows of strawberries across the cake. Pipe 13 stars between the blueberries and use the remaining frosting to pipe a border around the bottom of the cake. Brush the berries with the melted jelly. Cut and serve.

June 14 is the 235th birthday of the U.S. Army, Flag Day, and my father's birthday. Flag Day is very special to me. It also makes me think about the privileges I enjoy as an American citizen.
Something always happens to me whenever I hear the national anthem. It doesn't matter where I am; the school auditorium, the movie theater, or the ball park. My heart starts racing. I get a lump in my throat. I begin to sweat. My face beams with pride and joy as I place my trembling hand over my thankful heart. Indeed, I am proud to be an American citizen.
However, with this sense of pride comes an even greater responsibility. American citizenship unites all of us. However, American citizenship is not always about what the country can do for you -- the individual. Instead, as President John F. Kennedy once said, it is frequently about "what you can do for your country" to make it the best nation on earth.
American citizenship is the universal thread that sews us all together as one. It is about our shared enduring and endearing values. American citizenship is about our shared customs, beliefs, and traditions, such as Thanksgiving. It is about sharing our noteworthy accomplishments with the rest of the world so it can be a better place for everyone. It is about our glorious history, legends, folklore, and heroes. Although some of us have origins in foreign countries, our American citizenship permits all of us to enjoy the stories of Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox, Babe, and Pecos Bill as he rides a twister. Our American citizenship allows us to appreciate the sacrifices that those who came before us made in the name of freedom.
American citizenship is priceless! Yet, sadly, as many Gold Star mothers know all too well, there is often a costly price to being an American citizen. For this reason, American citizenship should never be taken lightly. Nor should it be taken for granted -- as many do.
People from distant lands are willing to endure hardships and pressures so they can become American citizens. They are willing to learn about American culture, traditions and history so they can become citizens and enjoy the American dream for themselves and their children.
Truly, I feel pride and joy whenever "The Star-Spangled Banner" is played. However, as the anthem is played, I think about the sacrifices that people have made so I can enjoy the freedoms I now have as an American. This is the reason why there is often a grateful tear in the corner of my eye as the national anthem is played.

Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth doesn't mind being one of the all-time great reality-show villains. "I've capitalized on that, and that's okay," she says. "That's a television persona." But Omarosa, 31, hopes viewers will see her kinder, gentler side on The Surreal Life 5, which finds her shacked up with such oversize characters as America's Next Top Model vixen Janice Dickinson and baseball bad-boy Jose Canseco.
The former political consultant (who briefly worked for Vice President Al Gore) splits her time between Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles and is juggling a host of projects: She runs a Democratic lobbying firm, has a syndicated talk show set to launch in spring 2006, and she's developing a clothing line. Omarosa, who's separated from her husband Aaron Stallworth, spoke to PEOPLE about her White House ambitions and why she and Dickinson will never be best friends.
Why do another reality show?
The Surreal Life runs upwards of 15 times a week. You can't even pay for that type of access on primetime television. And they pay you very well. Plus, it's only 12 days, so I thought it would be fun.
What about the idea of moving in with strangers?
I was very intrigued by the idea of being around six other celebrities. I'm a researcher by nature. As a doctoral candidate I spent so much time studying media and its influences. When the time comes for me to return to the classroom, I can use it as even a teaching aide. No matter what, once cameras enter the room, people modify their behavior. Whether you're at your family reunion and somebody pulls out a camcorder or you're on a reality show, the camera changes everything.
Did it bring out the worst in you?
When I was on The Apprentice, I became ultra-conservative, to the point where people labeled me as an ice queen or mean. (Being on the show) just made me tense beyond my own comprehension. I was just really guarded, very short with people. I had a very bad reaction to being scrutinized in such a way.

Robbery Homicide Division (RHD) is an American police procedural television series on CBS, created by Barry Schindel [1] with executive producer Michael Mann. Schindel has been nominated for three Emmy Awards.
The show took an intense, no-nonsense look at the present-day Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery Homicide Division. Lt. Sam Cole is the driven chief detective of a squad that is dedicated to solving some of the worst crimes the city has to offer. There were several technical advisers who worked on the show: Chic Daniel, an LAPD living legend who served more than twenty years on SWAT; Robert Deamer, a specialist of gang enforcement who is one of the most decorated veterans of Special Enforcement Unit (ex-C.R.A.S.H.); and Lieutenant Todd Reinhold, an actual squad leader of Special Weapons And Tactics.
The series was originally titled Metro which was the division where the show was originally going to be set. Then, the title was changed to RHD/LA which was used for the fall schedule announcement. CBS ordered the final title believing that people would be confused about what RHD stood for.
In April 2002, Schindel left to focus on his duties at NBC's Law & Order. Frank Spotnitz joined the show as an executive producer and the showrunner in May 2002 after The X-Files ended its nine-season run and then left in October because he decided that it "was not creatively the show that he wanted to be working on."[1]
Thematically, the show was very reminiscent of Mann's film Heat in that it also dealt with a driven cop working the Robbery-Homicide Division leading a multi-ethnic squad. Stylistically, Mann has said that RHD was a chance to test out some of the high-definition digital cameras he would later employ to much greater effect on Collateral and the film version of Miami Vice.
Although RHD was critically acclaimed, Law & Order: SVU had better ratings in the same time slot. CBS placed the show on hiatus after the December 7th episode. The series was cancelled after ten episodes. Mann told Variety magazine, "I guess maybe the show never found its audience." There was possible interest by HBO or CBS sister network Showtime to pick up the series, but it never went further than speculation.[2] Because of its NBC Universal ownership, reruns of the series have since aired on the high definition network Universal HD.
It is rumored that the arrest of Tom Sizemore, due to a drug related incident, ultimately led to the cancellation of the show. Sizemore has stated during filming of his show Shooting Sizemore that he regrets letting down all the cast members, staff, and producer Michael Mann. The actor claims that the cancellation created a rift between him and close mentor Mann which has still not been resolved.[3]

The remaining three unaired episodes premiered on the USA Network in April 2003. Afterwards, it aired on HDNet and Sleuth in 2008.
In her review for The New York Times, Caryn James wrote, "The executive producers, Mr. Mann and Frank Spotnitz (a producer of The X-Files), have created a style that does not dominate substance so much as it makes a dark subject palatable."[4]
Chicago Sun-Times gave the show three out of four stars and Phil Rosenthal felt that the show, "holds a lot of promise, but a lot of that promise remains unrealized in this opener. It's just a little confusing."[5]
The Los Angeles Daily News gave the show three out of four star and David Kronke felt that the "storytelling may be spotty - convenient contrivances help our heroes to their resolutions - but the richly cinematic quality of the programs make them seem deeper, smarter and more resonant than they really are. The series is also adept at capturing Los Angeles' multiculturalism, though it seems to insist upon depicting it as somewhat sinister."[6]
USA Today gave the show two out of four stars and felt that it was "all style and no story."[7]
In his review for the Washington Post, Tom Shales praised Tom Sizemore's performance: "What saves it, really, is the key performance: Tom Sizemore as Detective Sam Cole, head of one of those elite teams inside the police force that get to dress well and barge in without search warrants and so on. Sizemore veritably storms the screen in one of those can't-look-away performances that make a character instantly indelible. You feel you recognize Sam Cole and yet never saw anyone exactly like him before."[8]
In his review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Tim Goodman wrote that the show, "plays out like a moody film."[9]
Other reviews: Canoe [5] & Entertainment Weekly [6] & [7] [11 One-Season TV Wonders], [8]
The show debuted on Friday at 10pm ET/9c to an anemic 8.41 million viewers. CBS gave RHD two chances to capture a wider audience by airing two episodes on Saturday night. The first tryout was unsuccessful, but the second Saturday airing on December 7, 2002 did capture a larger audience; garnering a 5.7 household rating, while its lead-in The District received 7.3 million viewers and a 5.1 rating. On average, the show drew 7.1 million viewers an episode.

Does the color ink in your Kodak inkjet printer always seem to run out, even though you rarely print in color? If so, you're not alone. A class action lawsuit filed in California Superior Court claims that Eastman Kodak failed to tell consumers that its All-In-One inkjet printers deplete color ink reserves at "absurd levels," even on pages that contain only black text.
According to the Kodak All-In-One inkjet printer class action lawsuit, "When printing black and white text and images, Kodak's color inkjet printers are designed and programmed to use substantial amounts of color ink in addition to the substantially less expensive black ink. Kodak specifically designed the color inkjet printers so customers could not print black and white documents, unless there was an operating color inkjet cartridge in the printer."
The Kodak printer class action lawsuit goes on to say that even though Kodak inkjet printers use substantial amounts of color ink when printing in black text and images, no color other than plain black can be seen on the printed page. "The documents are for all purposes substantially the same as if printed from a black and white only printer. As a result, consumers are unaware that color ink is actually being used and hidden within the black text and/or images that they have printed."
This fact is further concealed, the class action lawsuit says, because nowhere in Kodak's promotional, packaging or warranty materials does it disclose to consumer that its color inkjet printers use color ink when printing black text or images.
The Kodak color inkjet printer class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all persons or entities located in the U.S. who own a Kodak color inkjet printer and who have printed black text and/or images using that printer. It is seeking class certification, restitution for Class Members, and injunctive relief prohibiting Kodak from further engaging in the deceptive business practices alleged in the lawsuit.
A copy of the Kodak All-In-One Color Inkjet Printer Class Action Lawsuit can be read here.
The case is Daniela Apostol v. Eastman Kodak Company, Case No. 30-2011-00510342-CU-FR-CXC, Superior Court of California, County of Orange.
UPDATE: A federal judge dismissed this class action lawsuit without prejudice on Feb. 3, 2014. The supporting court documents did not indicate if the plaintiff would re-file an amended complaint.

The actor celebrated his 45th Saturday night with a "One Night Only" performance at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, which drew a crowd of admiring fans, plus big names like Tom Cruise, Octavia Spencer, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Olivia Munn and more.
Jackman took the stage with a host of glitter-clad backup dancers, and even carved time out of his performance to serenade wife Deborra-Lee Furness. He also paused for a fun photo op with the crowd, complete with Wolverine claws (of course!).

Family matters
When I was applying to college, I rebelled against going to Denison because 14 of my family members had come here. I wanted to do something different. But when visiting other schools, I kept comparing everything to Denison, so I figured that was a sign that I should come to the Hill.
I have loved being at the same college that so many of my relatives went to. It has been great to see what they have left behind and to share many of the same experiences.
My grandparents met here and got married while they were still in school. Both my parents went here too, and they met on the second floor of Crawford. My dad actually started the Hilltoppers, which is really cool because I am a member of the all-female a cappella group, Ladies' Night Out. My mom helped to start the rugby team, and she was the captain.
One of my roommates is on the rugby team, and it's been great to watch her play knowing that mom was a part of starting something many of my friends love. Overall, I've loved my experience at Denison and sharing that love with my family!
— Taylor Frame '14
It turns out that 108 members of the great Class of 2014 have a family member who also graduated from Denison. Some have just one family connection, and one soon-to-be alumna, Alexandra Painter '14 from Concord, Mass., has as many as 21. But on the whole, these members of 2014 are related to 248 Denisonians who have gone before.
The Denison lineage of Kristina King from Tarrytown, N.Y., for example, dates back to 1863, the year that her great-great-great grandfather, Henry Brumback, graduated. Kristina's great-great grandmother, Grace Brumback Henson, graduated in 1899. And then came Isabelle Smock Henson, Class of 1928, and Henry Brumback Henson, Class of 1929. Another fun fact about Kristina's Denison ancestry: Her great-great-great-great grandfather (readers: you still with us?) owned the land and the home south of Newark that is now Dawes Arboretum.
Many of those family connections are making the trip to Granville to see the newest generation of Denison alumni walk across the stage this weekend. The grandfather of Riley Tight '14, for example, is on his way. As a life trustee, Ted Tight '48 knows Denison well, but seeing his grandson from Woodside, Calif., in cap and gown on Saturday (like he did with his children before) might prove to be one of his best memories of his Fair College on the Hill.
For those keeping score at home: Riley Tight comes in at No. 2 (behind Painter) for the most DU relatives, with connections to 15 graduates. Third place goes to Taylor Frame '14 from Granville, with 14 family connections. And there's at least one more graduating senior who can claim four generations of DU heritage: Andrew Palmquist from Englewood, Colo.
Clearly, Denison has been an important institution in the lives of many families. If it's something of a tradition in yours — whether you're part of the Class of 2014 or not — let us know in the comment section below.

The median price of single-family homes in Maui County dropped last month to its lowest level in at least five years, according to the latest data from the Realtors Association of Maui that goes back to 2007.
Coupled with record-low interest rates, real estate professionals say the Maui home market is at one of its most affordable levels in nearly a decade.
"It sounds cliche, but Maui's on sale right now," said Bob Lightbourn, president of the Realtors Association of Maui. "There are a lot of affordable homes on the market."
Maui County saw median prices for single-family homes drop 18.5 percent to $382,250 in May, compared to April, according to data from the Realtors Association of Maui. Over the last five years, median prices for single-family homes previously hit a low of $394,500 in July 2011.
Maui's May numbers are the reverse of what the Honolulu market experienced last month. Oahu's median price for single-family homes soared to a five-year high of $664,000 in May, according to the Honolulu Board of Realtors.
Those in the industry say because Maui has a much smaller inventory of properties than Oahu, a handful of low-priced homes can skew Maui's averages downward and vice versa.
Fact Box
|Median price
Source: Realtors Association of Maui
"The drop in median prices is indicative, I think, of the fact that there are some properties that are really cheap on the market right now, especially bank-owned properties," said Lightbourn, broker in charge of Coldwell Banker's Paia office. "We're talking about some pretty unusual lows in the $200,000s for single-family homes."
A recent online search turned up a three-bedroom Makawao home on the market for $198,000, and a four-bedroom Wailuku home going for $200,000. Both homes are listed as bank-owned properties.
Maui's median prices for condominiums fell nearly 16 percent to $336,000 in May, compared to the previous month. Condo median prices hit a five-year low of $265,000 last November.
Marina Batham, broker in charge for the Kahului office of Century 21 All Islands, said year-over-year data is a better gauge of the market versus any month to month changes, which she called "blips in the radar."
Year-to-date averages for 2012 are fairly stable when compared to the same time frame last year.
Between January and May of this year, the median price for single-family homes works out to $435,000, which is down 3 percent from the median price of $450,000 during those same five months in 2011.
A total of 353 single-family homes have been sold year to date, compared to 362 sold during the same time frame last year.
The number of condominiums sold year to date is unchanged from the same time period in 2011: 544 units between January and May. The median price year to date is up 6 percent to $347,333.
Terry Tolman, chief staff executive for the Realtors Association of Maui, said inventories have declined 13 to 20 percent over the past 12 months across both residential and condo classes.
Batham attributes that to Hawaii's mortgage foreclosure law that went into effect in 2011.
The foreclosure law, Act 48, is intended to protect owner-occupants by requiring lenders to meet face-to-face with homeowners before foreclosing on a property. It also placed a temporary ban on new nonjudicial foreclosure actions, forcing any new foreclosures to go through the court system. That ban will be lifted July 1.
"Act 48 has impacted the market as we're seeing a decided drop in the number of listings," Batham said. "Inventory is low at the moment."
Lightbourn said that there are 53 bank-owned properties on the market now, compared with more than 100 this time last year.
"Partially it's the foreclosure law, where we're not seeing huge backlogs of foreclosures in the pipeline, according to banks," he said. "Here, there's been an increase in the willingness of banks to work with short sales, which used to be a very trying process."
Batham said her agents are seeing the same thing.
"I'm seeing a lot of short sale deals going through," she said. "Most (bank-owned) properties are getting multiple offers on them. Banks are much more likely to, one, do them quicker, and two, be reasonable about the prices they're accepting."

Human trafficking in Europe yields about $3 billion a year for criminal groups, who control more than 140 000 persons at any point in time and subject them to sexual exploitation or forced labor, according to a new report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (http://www.unodc.org/).
The report, Trafficking in Persons to Europe for Sexual Exploitation, notes that the vast majority of those affected are young women who are subjected to violence, rape, imprisonment, drugging, and other types of abuse.

To think that way back then we had the foresight and drive to launch something for deep space, which to this day is still giving us valuable information about out Solar System, and hopefully beyond, is amazing to me. Talk about American exceptionalism and ingenuity. NASA estimates Voyager 1's power source will keep it running until around 2020. I'm amazed all the electronics still work! On something designed with 1970's technology? My hats off to everyone involved in such a project and who works this very day to keep our little probe going at 636 miles per second to the historic goal of leaving our Solar System.

I was really hoping we were going to avoid being in the bottom last week on Dancing with the Stars. But in a way it was easier this second time because Gavin and I had been there before, so we knew what to expect.
I thought Gavin did really well with the rumba and I don't think I have ever seen a celebrity progress at the rate that he has. We are taking it one week at a time and each week there is a huge improvement. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed we make it to the end of the finale, so I can see how far Gavin can take this because he is getting so good and turning in to a dancer.
One of the reasons he is improving is that we come into the studio looking forward to our rehearsals because we are laughing and having a good time. I met Gavin for the first time about three years ago at an event and I thought he was very cute and charming, but now that we are working together I have discovered even more sides of Gavin. He is intelligent, funny and he makes every situation better. We have a great, organic, natural relationship. I wouldn't change a thing about our dynamic.

Improving mental health will reduce gun violence
We are all struggling to do something to help in light of Newtown and other preceding events. Today, there is fear. Is this issue about gun control? No. It's about the mentally ill. A picture is worth a thousand words. Hollywood movies and video games feed our kids' vulnerable minds with alternative ideas about how to vent their frustrations and gain power. First Amendment issue? No. We need common sense, we need parents who care. We need change, but it's not about firearms.
This is really about disinterested parents who are so busy they don't notice the damaging actions their children are learning from video game baby sitters. America's mental health care is ignored. Ask Sen. Dianne Feinstein to focus her energy on improving mental health policies. If we put bulletproof windows and doors in every school, and armed guards, too, we would have to pray that some maniac won't just drive his car through the front of the building and emerge shooting.
There are no guarantees, but one. If you take away the equal rights of the citizen and the government to own the same firearms, you rip the roots away that this country was founded on. Without roots, nothing survives. But here we are with the media saying we need more gun control. We have 28,000 gun laws now. Thinking gun control is the issue is a knee-jerk reaction. We all want to help make this better, but it's a much deeper and more basic issue.

The Egg and I by Betty MacDonald
Not only is Betty smart, hardworking, and hilarious, she's also an amazing writer. You can tell she loves the written word as much as trees love sun and rain. She gets married to Bob and lovingly follows him on his quest. He wants to be a chicken farmer. That includes so much more than I ever thought it would.
The book is sectioned off in seasons, but Betty quickly describes her early childhood, and the important things she learned from her mother, father, and grandmother. But, no one warned her about how hard it would be to live on a working farm.
She and Bob buy a 40 acre plot with house, barn, etc. for only $450. That was a lot of money back then. They slowly added on to the property, which included chicken houses, and massive gardening. You can almost feel her aching muscles as she learns how to become self-sufficient.
The winter is a horrible time to be a farmer, and in Betty's case, it's even worse because she's pregnant. In the spring things are no easier because she learns to hate even baby chickens. See chapter 9. She describes in verbose details weather, quirky people, gardening, pressure cookers, children, and wild animals. The 1930's and 40's were hard, and Betty is brutally honest in painting a picture of her life.
We have it so easy these days, with running water, toilets, heating, electricity, grocery stores, phones, and computers. We should never take these things for granted. If there is anything I learned from Betty it is definitely her work ethic and the ability to find the humor in any situation. She manages to look past the flaws in others and get down to business too. Keep everyone clean and fed. Read a few books. And don't forget to take care of the chickens.
Read this book if you think your life is hard. It could be so much worse.

Every year there are a handful of free agents who will get the majority of the attention during the winter months. So, not every team can come away with a great free agent but can still find bargains in free agency. One example last year is Cody Ross, who signed a one-year, $3 million deal and turned out to be one of the lone bright spots for the Boston Red Sox.
This year is no different, and some teams will get great value on the free-agent market. However, it is buyer beware because for every Cody Ross there are 10 like Clint Barmes, who signed a two-year, $10.5 million deal and only produced eight home runs and 45 RBI last season.
This type of list won't include the likes of Michael Bourn or Kyle Lohse because of the contracts they are expected to receive and the fact that their new teams will need to give up some draft-pick compensation to their former teams. It would be hard for these players to produce at a level exceeding the value of their contracts. There are four players, though, who should provide the most bang for a team's buck in 2013 if signed to a reasonable contract.
