Down Payment Help
Bellago Homes offers two forms of Down Payment assistance programs. Both are intended to alleviate the cash burden of purchasing a home and replace it with "sweat equity" from the new homeowner.
FHA Sweat Equity or the Paint for Down Program
Labor performed or materials furnished by the borrower before closing, on the property being purchased, may be considered as the equivalent of a cash investment, to the extent of the estimated cost of the work or materials. (Sweat equity may be "'gifted"' subject to the gift requirements and additional requirements shown below.) Additionally, the following apply to sweat equity:
- On existing construction, only the repairs or improvements listed on the appraisal are eligible for sweat equity. Any work completed or materials provided before the appraisal is made are not eligible. On proposed construction, the sales contract must indicate the tasks to be performed by the homebuyer during construction.
- The borrower's labor may be considered as the equivalent of cash, if the borrower can demonstrate his or her ability to complete the work in a satisfactory manner. The lender must document the contributory value of the labor through either the appraiser's estimate or a cost estimating service.
- Delayed work (on-site escrow), clean up, debris removal, and other general maintenance cannot be included as sweat equity.
- There can be no cash back to the borrower in these transactions.
- Sweat equity on a property other than the property being purchased is not acceptable. Compensation for work performed on other properties must be in cash and be properly documented.
- Evidence of the source of funds used to purchase and the market value of the materials must be provided if the borrower furnishes these.

Our Paint for Down (Sweat Equity) program featured on CBS news.
Our Sweat Equity program featured on ABC's Home Hunters
Our Paint for Down featured on Channel 3 News, as well as an interview with a home owner going through the program
We are happy to announce that our "Paint for Down" program was featured in the Arizona Republic.
Biniam Debesay, the first homebuyer to participate in the program at Tierra Vista, had his friends help him.
Earlier this month, they plugged nail holes, sealed the baseboards and taped and prepped for painting.
"Painting was the easy part," he said.
Debesay said he received $3,500 for his labor, which paid for his down payment. But he said the experience was worth more than that.
"It gave me a chance to put my hands into it," he said. "I can say I did this instead of saying somebody else did it. If I knew how to build the house, I would have done that, too."

Matthew Henson Homeownership Program
Designed to assist eligible first-time homebuyers with the purchase of an affordable home in Phoenix, this program provides a deferred payment loan of $8,500 to assist with down payment and typical buyer closing costs. Buyers must complete 8 hours of Homebuyer Education from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development certified housing counseling agency. The down payment assistance program is administered by Community Housing Resources of Arizona.
Down Payment Assistance funds are offered as a deferred payment loan that:
- has an interest rate of 0% with no monthly principal payments.
- is $8,500 with payment due on sale or refinance within the first 5 years of homeownership
- is forgiven after 5 years.
- can be layered with City of Phoenix Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Move-In-Ready or NSP Homeownership Assistance loan when NSP eligible property is purchased.

WASHINGTON - Ben Bernanke's sway over financial markets has been on full display in recent weeks. When the Federal Reserve chairman speaks Wednesday to Congress, investors will once again parse each word for any subtle shift in the Fed's stance on interest rates.
Bernanke has sent financial markets plunging and surging the last two months, depending on whether he was seen as loosening or affirming the Fed's commitment to ultra-low interest rates. Low rates have fueled home sales, encouraged borrowing and spending, lifted stock prices, and helped support economic growth.
Since the financial crisis erupted in 2008, the Fed has kept its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero. And since late last year, it's been buying $85 billion a month in mortgage and long-term Treasury bonds to try to reduce long-term rates and induce people and businesses to borrow and spend.

This is the bogus argument that upsets me.
Tootoo = 1.5
Sammy = 3
Colo = 2
Gustavsson = 1.5
Bertuzzi = 1.5
Huskins = .5
And that's a bogus list. Gustavsson is a backup goalie, you must have 2 goalies on your roster. Not would like. Not should. Must have. $1.5M for a backup is peanuts.
Bertuzzi - this is the first season where he's been out for any length of time, his health has been excellent in his second spell. $1.5M for a veteran forward who provides the size, skill-set and points that Bert does is an absolute bargain.
Huskins - minimum salary for an emergency signing to cover a crippling injury crisis? FFS, what the hell do you want from Ken Holland? Do you remember our injury list when we were forced to sign Huskins? When we didn't have 6 fit defencemen to put on the ice? And you do realise that we cannot physically pay less than $0.5M for a player? And you do realise that when our injury crisis on D went away Ken Holland traded him off the roster?
Colo was a gamble but a cheap gamble. Tootoo provides something that no other player on our roster does.
I'll give you Sammy though, injured or healthy he's not worth that contract.

Deb Felts, our Challenge Coordinator, challenged us to use the 4 X 6 cases that i{heart} papers stocks to create our challenge project for this hop. While these cases can easily hold enough paper to have a new page for every month, I used a tear off calendar that I had on hand to create my project.
Upon a card base of Delish patterned paper by Webster's Pages, I added my calendar which was matted onto brown cardstock and then onto hot pink, all underlined with a row of Zva Creative Crystals. As I was trying to come up with something to take up the vast space along the bottom of my calendar, I was reminded of a quote I once read, "All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today" and so I added some of flowers in the corner and the word TODAY in big bold chipboard letters reminding me that what seeds I sow today will bear fruit (good or bad) tomorrow; a good visual to be mindful of what I say, what I think, and how I act.
I hope you will check out the rest of the IHP Design Team who are playing along with this challenge.
|Paper: Delish Patterned Paper (Webster's Pages - from i{heart}papers), Hot Pink & Dark Brown cardstock

German index is main economic report
David Russell | [email protected]
The Commerce Department will release the country's trade balance at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by wholesale inventories at 10 a.m. Both reports cover October, and are unlikely to impact sentiment.
A potentially more important report is scheduled for 5 a.m. ET, when Germany's Zew center for economic research will release its index of investor confidence. A strong reading could boost European indexes and support the S&P 500 early in the session, while a weak figure could have the opposite effect.

Dave McMenamin of ESPN LA drops this little nugget in a piece on Kobe and the Lakers kicking it into high gear:
Last year, the Lakers had the 39-point Finals embarrassment at the hands of Boston to use as motivation. This year, they've battled complacency because all they see in the rearview is confetti pouring down at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at the end of their parade route. Bryant said that feeling was jolted out of them in the first round against the hungry Thunder.
"We're there," Bryant said. "We got it. The competition from Oklahoma is probably what did it."
That's because Kevin Durant and Co. put the Lakers in a 2-2 headlock. Deron Williams and Co. have merely wilted to sweep fodder.
First, I have no idea why Kobe continues to refer to the Thunder as just "Oklahoma" but the fact he continues to pour praise on our young team is flattering. There's no denying Kobe's greatness. And he definitely saw something that impressed him from the Thunder.
And through that, we woke up the beast I guess. Sorry Western Conference. But I guess that means we get to take part in the celebration, if it happens, right?

My fat ps3 is on 3.41 firmware and i use a dongle to jailbreak.
I mainly use my ps3 for blu rays, streaming from pc and emulators. I dont use it for games as i have a 360 for that and i dont go on psn.
So im wondering, is it worth upgrading to custom 3.55 firmware (like geohots) which I know will disable playing backups but im not bothered about that as i dont play backups.
I will then install the properly signed emulators that i use.
Would i then be able to play the new gran turismo if i bought it as i cant at the mo on 3.41?
Will i also be able to play blu rays as ive heard some firmware disables blu ray playback?
Once i install the custom 3.55 firmware, can i then boot emulators etc without needing my dongle?
If this is all possible does anyone have a link of installing the custom firmware?
Any Point Of Installing 3.55?

the answers to all of your questions are yes. if you do not care about backups, the current cfw's will be ok for you, but i personally suggest waiting a bit longer until you have verified that the emu's you want to play are all working correctly on the new cfw's. finding a website that has up to date information posted by the website staff will help you know when to do this. unfortunately, all of the websites i have found for info have forced popup ads or worse so i cannot suggest any of them to you. just do a search for "ps3 cfw hacks" or similar terms and you will see what i mean.
Posted 16 January 2011 - 08:31 PM
I have a similar question too. is it safe to install this cfw and not get banned from psn? I dont care about playing backups and have legit games but I am curious about homebrew stuff.
Posted 16 January 2011 - 09:44 PM
I have a similar question too. is it safe to install this cfw and not get banned from psn? I dont care about playing backups and have legit games but I am curious about homebrew stuff.
They are not banning yet. But they will know if you load homebrew. The PS3 phones home all the time to send reports of what apps are being loaded and other data that tells them that your console is able to load homebrew.
As of now they are not banning consoles even though they know what ones are using homebrew. but I am sure at some point this will change since now they pretty much have no other choice for trying to block homebrew and backups on even retail firmware.

Recorded Sound Archives at FAU to Host Third Annual Giveaway of Vinyl Records
BOCA RATON, Fla. (December 16, 2013) ─ Florida Atlantic University's Recorded Sound Archives, which preserves and digitizes rare and historic recordings, will host its third annual giveaway of excess vinyl records from Monday, Jan. 6 through Friday, Jan. 10, 2014, and again from Monday, Jan. 27 through Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the fifth floor of the Wimberly Library, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
The giveaway, which is free and open to the FAU community as well as the general public, features thousands of LPs and 45 rpm vinyl discs that span from the 1940s to the 1990s and features every genre, including pop, Latin, jazz, classical, opera and orchestra music. Cassette tapes and CDs also are available.
Created in 2010 to collect, organize and protect access to digitized copies of vintage audio recordings, the RSA houses more than 150,000 jazz, Judaic and vintage recordings, making FAU Libraries one of the top 20 libraries in the nation for sound recordings.
"The RSA receives 10,000 records every year from people all over the country who want to be part of our preservation effort," said Maxine Schackman, the RSA's director. "Many of these recordings are either duplicates or outside the range of our collection criteria. These excess recordings pile up over time, so each year we give the community a chance to browse through them and take what they want."
Guidelines for donating recordings and printing a mailing label for shipping can be found at faujsa.fau.edu/jsa/send_records2.php . For more information, contact Schackman at 561-297-0080 or email@example.com.

The Alternative School Funding Models Pilot Program was enacted through HB10-1183. The Program was established to encourage school districts and charter schools to collect data that could be used to compare the effects of alternative school funding models with those of the actual school funding method. It was the intent that such alternative school funding models would address, at a minimum, funding of students:
- Who are significantly at risk of academic failure;
- Who are gifted and talented;
- Who are enrolled in on-line programs;
- Who return to public school after dropping out; and
- Who concurrently enrolled in high school and higher education.
School districts and charter schools were also encouraged to consider models of education funding based on achievement rather than attendance or hours of instruction.
Pursuant to 22-58-103 (2), C.R.S., on or before September 1, 2010, and on or before September 1 each budget year thereafter through 2013, a school district or charter school that chooses to participate in a two year pilot program shall apply to the State Board of Education.

Annual Dance Concert "Fall For Dance" Returns to the B. Iden Payne Theatre
The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents Fall For Dance, a collection of works by nationally acclaimed choreographers Mark Morris, David Justin, Holly Williams, and Yoav Kaddar, November 15-24 at the B. Iden Payne Theatre.
Performed by the award-winning student dance company Dance Repertory Theatre, Fall For Dance highlights include Mark Morris' masterpiece Grand Duo. Proclaimed "one of the greatest living choreographers" by The New Yorker, Morris has had a profound impact on the dance world ever since he burst onto the scene in 1980, and continues to create important new works with a singular ability to combine beautiful music, graceful movement, and delicious wit. Grand Duo, created in 1993, is a celebration of complex rhythms and dark, tribal mysteries performed to music by American composer Lou Harrison.
"A tribal celebration danced around a metaphorical campfire. Dancers threw their fists in the air, pounded their feet in unison, sat cross-legged in a circle and shook their heads at the gods. Those who doubt that dance can be intoxicatingly thrilling should see it." - The Seattle Times on Mark Morris' Grand Duo
Other work includes the premiere of Holly Williams' Orchid, bringing South Sea tropical breezes and waterfalls to the stage with music by Hawaiian chanteur Israel ("Izzy") Kamakawiwo'ole. Co-artistic director of Dance Repertory Theatre and University of Texas at Austin professor, Williams performed as a professional dancer with Laura Dean, José Limón, and Mark Morris.
Raw, created in 2005 by Yoav Kaddar, incorporates imagery of wild animal physicality and wide-open spaces in a dance that is communal, pulsing, and ritualistic. The director of the dance program at West Virginia University's School of Theatre & Dance, Kaddar has been a member of José Limón Dance Company and Paul Taylor Dance Company.
Choreographer and UT bachelor of fine arts student Stacy Skolnik investigates intimate experiences best told through gesture and dynamic movement in her work Unspeakable Truths.
David Justin's Quiver, recently performed at Dance Gallery Festival in New York, delves into the mythology of Eros (Cupid) and presents a glimpse of the nature of humanity in relation to love. Justin is an associate professor at The University of Texas at Austin and serves as the co-artistic director of Dance Repertory Theatre. He is a former principal dancer for the Birmingham Royal Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Boston Ballet.

Roman Catholic relied on the steady arm of a sophomore to hand Neumann-Goretti its first baseball loss against a Catholic League opponent in nearly two years, as the Cahillites won, 11-8, on Saturday.
Kyle Rogalski pitched the final three innings and posted his first varsity win. Matt Simon provided the offense with a pair of home runs, and Pablo Gambaro added three hits. The Cahillites jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and never trailed.
Neumann-Goretti, the defending league champion, had won 24 straight games against league opponents, last losing to Monsignor Bonner in the league semifinals in May 2010.

Carlton Gebbia certainly cast a spell on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Monday night.
"Yes, I'm a witch," said Gebbia, 40, one of the newest housewives.
"Wicca, the white side, which is Mother Nature," she continued. "I've been involved with Wicca since I was 7. My grandmother was practicing, and my mother was psychic."
Gebbia's admission came at a lunch she hosted for the wives at her cross- and crystal-strewn castle, which Kyle Richards referred to as "Harry Potter's house."
It was Richards' endless questions and jokes about witchcraft and religion that prompted Gebbia to say, "Don't try to shock value me in front of people I don't know. I have practiced dark, but now I practice light. I would never go to the dark side. Not again."
Lisa Vanderpump, 53, felt for Gebbia, saying, "There are a couple of witches in our group, but I don't think Carlton is one of them."
Yolanda H. Foster and Brandi Glanville were also drawn to Gebbia's "light" side at lunch. "There's something about her that's very grounded and real," said Foster, 49.
Added Glanville, 40, "I find Carlton to be a little dark and edgy, and I like that."
But it wasn't until a typically inappropriate Glanville asked Richards, 44, about the cheating rumors surrounding her husband, Mauricio Umansky, that the luncheon really turned dark and edgy.
"My husband and I are in love with each other," a tearful Richards said at the end of the night's show, "and no tabloids or group of mean girls can take that away from us."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Wonderful surprise

This wine was beyond my expectations. Loved it. Want to know how to purchase it from the world's largest buyer of wine, the LCBO in Ontario, Canada.
Wine this good, FROM A BOX?
by Jordan13638352
I am simply amazed, someone told me to try this, so, I did it as a joke. It is great, has wonderfully intense fruit flavors, with some crazy roasted smokey chocolate cocoa flavor. It has a wonderful finish. I could put this in a bottle, and people would go crazy. What a find.. Put it in a bottle, and they will rave!

This is the best Merlot I've ever tasted. Oak barrel aged, the soft blend of Oak is gentle and this dry wine is sensual.

This is a really good merlot i believe (for only 10 bucks a box) I just started to drink alot of wine. And the whole Franzia collection is great for value and taste.

Burrows is anything but a goon. He's a spot-picking rat. Had a "goon" been on the ice, I doubt Burrows goes after Kopitar. But yes, the rough stuff after clean hits is annoying as hell. In essence, it deters hitting.

Is Babcock not watching the games out there? Cleary is just skating around aimlessly and isn't able to help the team. In not doing so, he's hurting it.Call up some youngster from the minors who will play hungry and try to shine in the playoffs. Kind of like Helm in 2008. It's honestly more the coaching staff's fault than Cleary's. He'll play until he drops, but they have to step in there and realize it's not a good idea.

Good to see one of our top players become the whipping boy. All the years of idiots bitching about scrubs of marginal impact was getting stale.I thought about interjecting some rationality, but decided it would be pointless. Those who want to hate Franzen will do so regardless. They'll overstate his flaws, downplay or outright dismiss his strengths. Once he goes on another hot streak you'll all go back to jerking off to his picture while burning Ericsson in effigy. Goal and assist tonight. On pace for 30+ goals, and career highs in assists and points. Yeah, such awful depreciation.

BATAVIA – Groups helping businesses with a "shop local" theme are trying to determine why residents of Genesee County spend more than $20,000 a week dining and drinking elsewhere.
A 14-question survey asks respondents what they want in local restaurants, how often they dine out, how much they usually spend, and what the kind of ambience and service they prefer.
Genesee County restaurant owners are also being questioned. Responses are due Friday.
Restaurant Creativity Associates, representing the Chamber of Commerce, Genesee Community College's BEST Center, Batavia Development Corp. and Senior Corps of Retired Executives, is conducting the survey "to do what we can to ensure more dining dollars stay local."
When the surveys are completed, the group will share results with local restaurateurs to devise an action plan to reduce the estimated $12 million that Genesee County residents spend each year to drink and dine elsewhere.

There are women, bless their hearts, who age gracefully and beautifully. I wish I were one of them.
Much rarer is the boutique hotel that ages gracefully. Boutique hotels — and their restaurants — need to stay stylish and fresh.
Central 214, the dining room at Hotel Palomar, has needed a face-lift for some time, so it came as no great surprise to learn early this year that Hotel Palomar had a complete redesign, and even a name change, in the works for its dining room. Way beyond a face-lift, it sounded like they were jettisoning Central 214 and putting in a new restaurant.
They'd already brought in Graham Dodds — the well-regarded chef who opened Bolsa in 2008 and had been there till last year — to fill the top-toque position vacated by Blythe Beck back in August. But we've been waiting and waiting to hear about the restaurant remake for months.
In the meantime, hunger set in. I've had the opportunity to dine at Central 214 four times since Dodds introduced his first menu in January.
While the bar is quite the buzzy scene it's always been, the dining room generally feels forlorn. The tables are spaced far apart, but not in a luxurious way; the acoustics are frightful when there are more than a few diners. Something feels wrong from the moment you walk in.
But the dining room isn't the only thing that could use some attention. The service is problematic at Central 214, and the wine list feels outdated.
The one bright spot is that chef Dodds has some interesting ideas. In the winter, that meant crispy pig's ear, blood-sausage ravioli, chicken-liver parfait with fennel marmalade, lamb breast with a paprika-honey glaze. And lately, it means Scotch eggs, Romano beans with duck confit and poached duck egg, striped bass bourride, goat brisket. The chef has a good feel for the seasons and changes his menus frequently.
At its best, Dodds' cooking is sensible and satisfying, as in a salad of tender, delicately flavored grilled baby octopus with watercress, fried Marcona almonds and a smear of pestolike "Tuscan salsa verde" — the best dish I tasted on a recent visit. Or nicely seared fillets of striped bass on beluga lentils. Or those blood-sausage ravioli: big, sturdy packets of flavor-filled pasta topped with skinny, long-roasted baby carrots and sauced with beurre fondue. Saucy short ribs napped a parsnip purée: That was good.
Lately I've liked the chef's seared, slow-roasted goat brisket, paired with white-bean purée and topped with a bit of grassy-flavored sunflower sprout slaw. But it seemed to lack something zingy. A chimichurri? Something with a little vinegar? Something spicy? The plate soon became monotonous.
I felt the same way about another main course back in the winter. The crumbled cauliflower with wild and cultivated mushrooms, a main course cooked in the fashion of risotto and boosted with cream, was delicious for a few bites, but a little went a long way.
Unfortunately, Dodds' dishes are compromised in their execution more often than they should be. Pig's ear bits arrive limp and lukewarm. A Scotch egg's panko coating is so salty the hors d'oeuvre is ruined. That fabulous-sounding chicken-liver parfait is woefully undersalted, its fennel "marmalade" runny and weird with the liver. Mirepoix-crusted chicken breast is missing its mirepoix. The chicken's quite good, but the spaghetti squash "carbonara" it comes with is off-puttingly soggy.
The Romano beans appetizer works — the slightly charred, long-cooked beans paired with good duck leg confit — until you taste the poached duck egg: It's terribly underseasoned. There's no salt on the table. Striped bass's bourride is watery and lacks punch (and saffron) in the flavor. Honey-thyme glazed porchetta's a nice idea, but the meat is tough, and the savory notes of the sugo saucing the plate clash with the pork's lightly sweet glaze.
Desserts are all over the place, from a dense, moist and sort of wonderful polenta cake in a puddle of cajeta, to a decent rhubarb panna cotta, to a blueberry cobbler that's far too sugary. At least, like the savory menus, the desserts get changed up often.
I wish I could say that fabulous service saves the day at Central 214.
But one night, a waiter interrupts our conversation so frequently and rudely that at one point, one of my guests simply closes his eyes, waiting for the server to go away, before he finishes his sentence.
Another night, we're seated at a table close to the bar. It feels like some kind of reverse Siberia, as we're so far from the others seated in the dining room, mostly along the banquette in back. I ask if we might have another table, one that doesn't feel like we're almost in the bar. The restaurant is no more than a quarter full. The hostess looks put out. "You can't have that one," she says, indicating the one closest to other diners. "Someone else reserved it." We move to a slightly better table, but the one off-limits remains vacant all evening.
At lunch one day, the courses are timed poorly and our main courses land while we're still eating our salads. The server leaves them. Do we ditch our half-finished salads, or let our main courses get cold? No one seems to care.
One night, my husband asks for a scotch list. After a long disappearance, our waiter returns and says there is no list. My husband orders a Laphroaig — one of the less pricey single malts, usually $11 or $12 even in the most expensive dining rooms. When we get the bill, it's $22 for the scotch. Months later, we ask for a scotch list again — similar drill. This time a waiter verbally lists some of the scotches, but of course that way, you can't see the prices. When the bill arrives, the charge is $12 for a Laphroaig, the correct price, as it turns out. So, they were just making it up as they went along last time? Meanwhile, the wine list, predictable and overpriced, offers nothing as original as Dodds' more interesting dishes.
The best service I experienced was recently; the earnest fellow did his best to make sure we had everything we needed. But why did he have to walk us through the menu in such excruciating detail? It seemed to go on forever.
If Hotel Palomar's management ever does get around to rethinking Central 214, it might keep in mind that the place needs not just a head-to-toe makeover, but a front-of-the-house-cleaning as well.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie owes his extremely high poll numbers to Democrats who like how he's handled the recovery from Hurricane Sandy, according to a poll released this morning.
The Rutgers-Eagleton poll shows 68 percent approve of Christie's overall job performance — numbers any governor would "would love," according to poll director David Redlawsk — but a 5 percentage point decline from February.
While 51 percent of Democrats approve of the Republican governor, that's an 11 point drop from February. But Christie's overwhelming support from Republicans and independents has not diminished, Redlawsk said.
"Christie's natural Republican constituency likes his attitude and policies and sees him as a strong leader," said Redlawsk.
"Sandy doesn't matter much to them. But for Democrats, we see clear evidence that the Sandy recovery is critical to support and probably also contributes to their sense of his integrity and honesty."
The poll does include some troubling numbers for Christie. When asked if they approve of his handling of jobs and the economy, 42 percent approve and 49 percent disapprove. On taxes, 37 percent approve and 54 percent disapprove.
Nevertheless, 58 percent think New Jersey is headed in the right direction. Voters also have positive feelings on Christie's performance on education, the state budget and crime.
On Hurricane Sandy, the approval is overwhelming. Eighty-seven percent of voters approve of his handling of the disaster, while just 9 percent disapprove.
The poll of 819 voters was conducted from April 3-7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

Yesterday, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health released the state's birth data for 2009, showing an 11% decline in teen births since 2007, pushing the teen birth rate to its lowest in decades. However, the birth rate for Hispanic teenagers is still five times the rate for their White counterparts.
Holyoke reported the highest teen birth rate in Massachusetts, at 96.8 per 1,000 teen girls aged 15-19— almost 5 times the state rate. Communities like Holyoke, Lynn, and Lowell have seen teen birth rates trending up in recent years, following strong declines in the late 1990s and the begin of the millennium. Community data is available to assist cities and towns in understanding specific challenges. For example, almost 40% of births to teens in Lawrence were to teens aged 15-17, compared to 29% statewide. In Southbridge, almost half (48.4%) of teen births were to teens under 18.
Our Executive Director Patricia Quinn responds to these numbers:
We need to make sure that every young person has access to comprehensive sex education, that sexually active young people have support for the use of condoms and contraceptives, and that all youth have a clear path to adult identity with motivation to delay parenting,"
Please read the full press release from the Alliance for more detailed analysis of the 2009 birth data.

I'm teaching a class using the book and VMplayer, with a Minix VM image
from the web page:
We are collectively baffled by what happens with this image when we try
to shut down.
If we shutdown for reboot "shutdown -r now", we get as far as TERM
being sent to all
processes and nothing else happens, ever. Doing anything more requires
a reset.
If we shutdown for a halt "shutdown -h now", we get as far as the
monitor prompt, but
the system seems frozen at that point: keyboard presses do not get
echoed and nothing
else happens, ever.
This seems wrong, but we haven't fooled with the VM. This happens
right from the
start with a clean download.
For the moment, we're stuck with the 3.1.1 version because 3.1.2 device
drivers have
changed, and diverged from the book a bit too much for my taste. I
love to have them
do device drivers as a project.
Any clues out there?

Re: C++ database connectivity with Oracle
What version? This stuff is on the Companion disk if 10g.
Hint: use OCI, not OCCI. Or Pro*C. OCCI is....well, you'll find out if you start using it.
The open brace after createEnvironment really *is* needed, no matter how daft that sounds.

Re: C++ database connectivity with Oracle
Any particular reason for using 9i? It's two major versions out of date, and with a fairly new interface like OCCI that difference is significant. You can get the 11g stuff from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/sof...ase/index.html
and the OCCI documentation is here:
(doc index here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/doc.../database.html )
Make sure you install the Examples disk and have a look through the OCCI sample programs and make files; there's lots of useful stuff in there.

Eli Wallach Appreciation: How Oscar Finally Got It Right After Nearly 60 Years Of No Nominations
I like the fact that Turner Classic Movies announced today a special 11-hour tribute to the now-late and always-great Eli Wallach, who died last night at age 98. He was such a magnificent actor, particularly onstage, where he won a Tony in The Rose Tattoo or on TV in countless performances including his Emmy-winning turn in 1966's Poppies Are Also Flowers. His movie roles were memorable too, but he never quite got that truly great moment onscreen that could have ignited his film career and sent it in a different direction. It's true he was terrific as the evil Calvera in 1960's The Magnificent Seven (which Denzel Washington is threatening to remake) and as the bandit Tuco in the 1966 Sergio Leone classic, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. His 1956 film debut in Baby Doll was a great way to start in cinema for this born stage actor, a disciple of the Actors Studio. There were other turns over the years in the underrated 1958 film The Lineup, the film adaptation of stage hit The Tiger Makes Out co-starring his wife of 66 years Anne Jackson, How To Steal A Million, The Misfits (opposite Gable, Monroe and Clift in 1961), Cinderella Liberty, The Godfather Part III all the way up to his small but amusing role in 2010's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
But there was never that one breakout movie role that would earn him even a single Oscar nomination during a nearly 60-year career in front of the cameras. Incredible. But brilliant as he always seemed to be in even the smallest screen roles, it's telling that the biggest film role of his career is the one that never happened. He was set to play Maggio in 1953's From Here To Eternity, the role eventually played by Frank Sinatra. He went on to take the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the part that might have been Wallach's. It was a defining moment for Sinatra, who desperately needed the role in a career that was sagging at that point. He exploded again after that break virtually handed to him by his longtime friend. Wallach had to drop out in favor of a commitment to the Tennessee Williams play Camino Real. It was a short run, but he never apologized for it and never looked back at what might have been. It's all now a part of movie lore. The one that got away.
That's why I have such fond memories of the night of November 13, 2010, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave Eli Wallach a well-deserved lifetime Honorary Oscar. Although not one of his performances stood out enough to his fellow actors in the Academy to ever win even a nomination, the body of work was immensely undeniable, and the Academy's Board of Governors made a no-brainer decision on this one. I was honored to have been hired that year to actually write the Governors Awards show, so I was privy to all the planning, the rehearsals and, of course, the night itself. When the time came in a production meeting to suggest music we would play for Wallach's entrance, I immediately blurted out Elmer Bernstein's classic theme from Magnificent Seven. It had to be, right? What a moment to see Wallach, with his cane, strut up those few stairs to the stage in the Hollywood and Highland Grand Ballroom to that music and that rousing, heartfelt standing ovation that night. He did the same thing, at age 95, during the rehearsal a day earlier, walking up those steps, cane in one hand , unassisted and smiling all the way. Anne was with him, and you could see why this was a marriage made in heaven. This also was an actor very proud of the career he made, a man still working even at his age. The tributes were warm and rich from the likes of Josh Brolin, Clint Eastwood and Robert De Niro. Tony Bennett sang a song. But I particularly loved what Anne said in offering a toast to her husband and sometime co-star: "What is this one? Lifetime achievement? Oh my God, he hasn't even started yet," she said. "Eli will never get to the point of Lifetime Achievement, because he's constantly evolving and he knows there's always something to improve." And in a very funny short-but-sweet acceptance, Wallach actually got serious for a moment after he admitted he didn't know he had friends in such high places or that he had even joined the Academy. "I am deeply moved by this honor," he said. "Your recognition of my artistry makes something very clear to me: I don't act to live. I live to act."
And we can be so grateful that's exactly what the remarkable Eli Wallach did so well, for so long.
Inspiring to read about an actual movie star who made it all the way through life with respect and no scandal.
best italian mobster who never was
Eli Wallach was one of my favorite actor.
I really believe his performance in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly should have earned him a supporting actor Oscar nomination. He was terrific in the role.
Thank you, Pete.
Tiger Makes Out was his best performance the movie is hilarious.
I always took comfort in knowing, that a legend, even at his advanced age, like Eli Wallach was still around. There are so few left anymore. I'm glad he got to have that night a few short years ago, to see how much he was appreciated. It must have been great to be a part of that night-thanks for your recollections, Pete.
"How to Steal a Million" has always been a particular favorite of mine. Mr. Wallach played the love struck suitor opposite Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn. Ms. Hepburn's character was not the object of his obsession, and he made it totally believable.

In The Crucible, what most concerns Reverend Parris?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Throughout The Crucible, Reverend Parris is continuously worried about himself and his career. In Act I when he questions Abigail about the girls' nocturnal activities, as well as the rumors about her reputation in town, he pointedly asks her:
Now look you, child, your punishment will come in its time. But if you trafficked with spirits in the forest, I must know it now, for surely my enemies will, and they will ruin me with it.
The focus of this question is not on his only daughter who is lying sick in bed or even if they did traffic with the devil. Instead, he wants to know if they were with the devil out of fear that his enemies will find out and use the information against him. Instead, he keeps referring to a faction that exists somewhere in Salem that he believes is trying to pull him out of his job.
In Act III, Parris is presented with evidence that the girls are lying to the court. However, he is not willing to listen to them. Instead he tries to turn the court's attention away by suggesting that Proctor is a part of the faction against him. He warns Danforth, "Beware this man, Your Excellency, he is mischief."
Again, instead of looking to see the cause of the girls' illness, he is concerned only with himself and his career.

Is it set to turn on when removed from the docking device? If so turn that

GOOSE CREEK — He can sink the 3-pointer from long range or drive to the basket, hang in midair and score on a reverse layup. He makes deft passes from his point guard position and can steal the ball at the least expected moment. But the most important thing about this gifted player is that he is a leader.
Goose Creek's Dantez Bennamon can do it all. Just ask the Ridge View Blazers. He hit a 3-pointer to begin the game and finished with a game-high 24 points Tuesday night as the Gators topped the Blazers, 70-44, in a third-round boys Class AAAA playoff basketball game.
The Gators (21-4) will play in Friday's Lower State championship at the Florence Civic Center. The Gators will play Sumter, which advanced with a victory over North Augusta. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
Bennamon is only a junior and his best days are still ahead. But the last three games haven't been exactly shabby. He's averaging 26.3 points in the playoffs.
"He's fantastic," Ridge View coach John Combs said of Bennamon. "There's no doubt he's one of the best guards in the state. He's going to be a force the next game and next year."
On Tuesday, Bennamon had many helping, talented hands. After he scored to open the game, teammate Chris Singleton added a pair of 3-pointers and the Gators led, 9-0. Singleton finished with 13 points, while Kameron Robinson had 14.
"The kids are ready to play," said Gators coach Blake Hall. "There were no nerves tonight. The kids were anxious to get out on the court. We played a good game against a good Ridge View team."
Combs said the 9-0 Gators lead put the Blazers in too deep of a hole.
"They got off to a great start," Combs said. "They never gave us the opportunity to get back into the game. We played poorly. But you have to give Goose Creek credit."
Goose Creek never trailed. The Gators led 18-10 at the end of the first quarter and 37-16 at halftime. The Blazers closed to 41-26 with 3:50 left in the third quarter, but Bennamon and Co. weren't to be denied.
"He's a kid who is humble," Hall said of Bennamon. "No matter what's going on, he doesn't get too high or too low. He's steady and plays steadily."
Jordan Portee led the Blazers (15-10) with 14. Trevon Howell and Jarrell Brantley both had 10.
Ridge View (44): Isaac 1, Bradshaw 6, Traevon Howell 10, Jarrell Brantley 10, Kenny 1, Jordan Portee 14, Roman 2

Product Management – Electronic Ticketing System
Our client has launched a project to modernize its ticketing system. Currently dependent on paper tickets, the goal is to move to electronic ticketing in order to improve flexibility, capability, and measurement, while lowering operational cost and improving the guest experience. A key need of this system is to accommodate the addition of a 2nd location, and allow for cross-promotion of the two attractions. While we have excellent operational expertise in attractions, we need product management to help us develop a functional spec that thoroughly defines our business and operational requirements so that we can work with external providers to assist us with development.

Situated next to Bourke Street School and just a stone's throw from Bourke Street Bakery, Cowbell 808 is a funky spot taking the form of retro 80s flashback meets Surry Hills cool.
Owners Lennie Watts and Sean Demicoli named the venue after the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which was popular in the 80s amongst R&B and hip-hop artists for its electronic cowbell sound.
Their love of 80s music and culture flows through the place, with a hip-hop-inspired graffiti feature wall, basketball hoop and shelves lined with boom boxes, a record player and vintage roller skates. There's even a solid collection of vinyl that staff and customers can choose from to create their own musical backdrop. Customers can even bring in their own favourite records to listen to while they grab a bite.
House blended organic coffee, breakfast and lunch dishes feature on the all-day menu, with some interesting options including chai rice porridge with poached pear and homemade coconut yoghurt with banana, as well as the staples of sandwiches, burgers and sweet treats. Nearly everything here is made fresh on the premises, from bread and cakes through to yoghurt and house-smoked bacon.

Playing a dad in Spanglish wasn't too much of a stretch for funnyman Adam Sandler. The actor, 38, who married former model Jackie Titone last year, says he's ready for the task. "I just recently started trying, doing the best I can," he says. And, "it feels good trying." After taking a serious turn in 2002's Punch-Drunk Love, Sandler, best known for his roles as immature pranksters in frat-boy favorites like Billy Madison, returns as a sensitive chef with a marriage crisis in the dramedy Spanglish. Sandler recently chatted about being ready for baby, finding role models and learning the ropes in the kitchen.
Do you see your character as a hero in this movie? Or as a "girly man"?
No, this character feels so much like my brother. … When I was in Florida for Thanksgiving, the last image I saw was my brother with his two kids and his wife hanging out on the beach swimming, and it reminded me of Spanglish. Just the fact that this guy gave me a wave, said "Love ya," but was like, "These are my kids and I want to make sure they have a great day in Florida." I admire that. That's how I got to grow up, and that's how I plan on raising my kids.
So you'll be playing a dad offscreen too?
I do want children. I study dads more, I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did. The thing that I always think about is when my parents would get a phone call, "Hey, we're going away to Bermuda this weekend. You want to come? But, we're not bringing the kids." My parents would go, "No kids? Oh no, then we can't go." That was my father and mother's sacrifice. They didn't care about anything but the kids.
What was the best advice you got from your father?
My father wasn't perfect; he had a temper … but the thing that he taught my whole family was that family was the most important thing, and no
matter what, if a family member needs you, you go and help them out, you get
So where did your sense of humor come from?
Part of my father having a temper led to me developing a sense of
humor to calm the old man down.
Onscreen, things got a little wild. It looked like costar Tea Leoni beat you up in a love scene.
I was hurting! My poor chest – that was a lot of takes. The camera kept
rolling and Tea kept whacking (my chest). Like by take six, wow. My makeup
girl would have to run in between takes and put flesh color back on my chest.
But you also had some fun. You learned to make a killer BLT sandwich.
In the script it said (my character) will make a sandwich that everyone in the audience would want to eat at home, and just from the trailers for the film, I've been walking down the street and had people say, "Make me that sandwich, man!" At home we practiced over and over making that BLT and other stuff that, before this movie, I'd probably never even eaten. I'm excited about being able to make the BLT.

Men's Hockey Tops #1 Minnesota, Earns Split on Weekend
As if the St. Cloud State Men's Hockey team needed anymore motivating taking on it's bitter rival Minnesota, the Gophers came into this weekend's series as the nation's top team. The Huskies proved that polls didn't matter to them as they knocked off the #1 Golden Gophers by a score of 4-3 Friday from the National Hockey Center.
Ryan Faragher was again fantastic between the pipes, stopping 40 Minnesota shots. He faced a barrage of shots in the third period with Minnesota mounting a comeback, but held the fort to give the Huskies the win.
St. Cloud found the back of the net early as junior captain Ben Hanowski tallied just under four minutes into the game. Minnesota would even the score on the powerplay, but the Huskies countered with a powerplay goal of their own from Cam Reid to retake a lead. St. Cloud also got goals from Nic Dowd and Jared Festler in the second period, and the Huskies jumped out to a 4-1 lead. The Huskies scored four goals on Minnesota's Kent Patterson on only 18 shots.
The Gophers scored twice in the game's final five minutes, but SCSU held on the for upset win. Minnesota would get revenge the next night at Mariucci Arena, beating the Huskies 5-0. Nick Bjugstad had a hat-trick for the Gophers.
St. Cloud State is now 6-6-2 on the season and 4-3-1 in the WCHA. The Huskies hit the road this weekend for series at Nebraska Omaha. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:07 Saturday, and 2:07 Sunday. We'll have updates on our Twitter page.

HOPATCONG — Police are seeking the public's help in finding the individual or individuals responsible for breaking windows on vehicles parked on Temple Trail and Jefferson Trail.
Police gave the following account of the incidents, which took place sometime between 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 and 5:24 a.m. on Aug. 22:
Officer Patrolman David Kraus responded on Aug. 22 at 2:32 pm. to Temple Trail on a report of a broken car window. He found that a brick was thrown through the driver's side window of a vehicle parked on the side of the road. The driver's side door was also damaged.
At a house around the corner on Columbia Trail, the patrolman found that there were bricks in the yard being installed as pavers, and that the brick that was used to break the car window on Temple Trail was the same type as the paver bricks.
Nearby on Jefferson Trail, a minivan's window was also broken out. A small rock about 2 inches in diameter was used to cause that damage.
The Hopatcong Police Department is asking anyone with any information to contact them at 973-398-5000. Police said they are patrolling the secondary roads where these incidents occurred, but are also asking residents to call police to report suspicious noises and activity.

What is in this article?:
- Citricola scale valleyŌĆÖs No. 1 citrus pest
- Lorsban resistance
- Citricola scale is the No. 1 citrus pest in the San Joaquin Valley.
- Citricola scale is a voracious pest that in high numbers can dramatically reduce yield.
- The only effective control method in the valley: insecticide treatments.
Beth Grafton-Cardwell, University of California citrus IPM specialist and research entomologist, helps Paramount Citrus' Jim Hatakeda identify citricola scale on a citrus leaf.
Growing resistance to the organophosphate chlorpyrifos, huge populations and no natural parasites have elevated citricola scale to the No. 1 citrus pest in the San Joaquin Valley.
Its dubious distinction is no doubt why a larger-than-expected crowd showed up at the Lindcove Research and Extension Center in Exeter, Calif., to hear University of California citrus IPM specialist and research entomologist Beth Grafton-Cardwell not only talk about the pest, but show growers, PCAs and others what to look for in scouting for citricola scale.
Citricola scale is a voracious pest that in high numbers can dramatically reduce yield. A typical Valencia orange tree can produce 325 oranges per tree. If there are 10 citricola scale per twig, yields can drop by 70 fruit per tree, a yield loss of more than 20 percent.
The yield loss may be even more severe with Navel oranges and lemons, Grafton-Cardwell says.
The tiny scale also secrete honeydew that can create sooty mold on citrus. This can be washed off in the packinghouse.
Grafton-Cardwell and her crew of research technicians set up a mobile teaching lab for field day attendees to examine scales under a microscope. They also sent growers and PCAs into nearby groves in search of the not so elusive citricola scale. The research technician crew also collected scale infested leaves and distributed hand lenses to help growers identify dead and live scale on leaves.
The field day was held in mid-September, a month or so after what Grafton-Cardwell says is the prime time (late July/early August) to control the scale. This is when the first instar nymphs are on leaves and most susceptible to insecticides.
The more dead scales found, the less chance of a big outbreak next year.
The only effective control method in the valley is insecticide treatments. The parasitic wasp that is an effective biological control in Southern California citrus does not control the pest in the valley because of the high populations of scale produced under hotter valley conditions.
Citricola scales reproduce asexually allowing rapid population growth, according to the UC IPM website. It has only a single generation per year. Adults are found in the spring and early summer on twigs, and immatures are typically found underneath leaves in late summer and fall. Females produce approximately 1,000 eggs during their lifetime. Eggs hatch into mobile first instar nymphs, also known as crawlers. Crawlers relocate to find a suitable location, become fixed, then molt into second instar nymphs that produce large quantities of honeydew and are often tended by ants.

How to Solve Nagging with FeminismSierra Black
Does your marriage have a nagging problem? You know, the kind where one of you keeps pestering the other to do some simple tasks that never seem to get done. The more you nag, the more your partner dawdles and blows off your requests. Which leads to more nagging.
A recent Wall Street Journal article called this problem potentially as toxic as adultery. It's a pattern that has certainly caused some chaos in my own marriage, and I've watched it corrode intimacy between friends. Nagging can be a vicious cycle, with both partners feeling like they're being pitted against each other over things they should be on the same side about. You both want the dishes to be done and the bills to be paid. Why are you fighting about these things?
Amanda Marcotte has a great solution over on XX.
Amanda writes:
If the male partner stops viewing it as women's work to anticipate what needs to be done, and instead chooses to do his work without being asked, that works really well! And if he is asked to do something, as long as it's reasonable of course (it usually is), he does it without having to be asked twice, either by getting right on it or telling his partner when she can expect to see it done. Interestingly, I've seen bona fide conservative couples who managed to figure this magic formula out, so it's not like you need to be radical feminists to embrace this frightening new lifestyle. It just requires abandoning the notion that domesticity is emasculating or that open communication is more difficult than it is.
She has this nailed.
Nagging doesn't come out of nowhere. It's usually the woman doing the nagging and the man feeling nagged. And it happens because of a power imbalance in the relationship: men have more power to blow off what women say to them, in almost every sphere of their lives. I've found this especially exaggerated in relationships where one partner stays at home and the other works full time.
I put a stop to the nagging cycle in my own marriage a few years ago, doing it exactly the way Marcotte describes. My husband is a feminist. He cares deeply about gender bias. But he's still a guy who was raised with male privilege, and it's not always visible to him when gender dynamics are at the root of a problem.
So I sat him down and made it clear that he could not "help" me with childcare or housework. Parenting the children and caring for our home are shared jobs that we're equally responsible for. That means that not only is it his job to change half the diapers and fold half the laundry (roughly speaking), it is also his job to know that these things need to be done and take responsibility for doing them.
In essence, I resigned my position as household CEO. It took a while for the changes to sink in. I did have to lower my standards somewhat and give him room to catch up. He needed time to learn what needs doing. But now we have a family where I don't even know what the kids eat for lunch. He makes the lunches and does the grocery shopping, so it's entirely in his realm. Not only is he doing the tasks, he's also doing the executive functioning to know what tasks have to happen and plan for them.
As a result, we have a real sense of sharing when it comes to parenting and housework. There's little to no nagging because neither of us is in control and neither of us feels like we're magnanimously helping the other. Instead, we're a team, taking on the work of our shared life together.
