Rising cost of relocation hampers job market
The battered housing market is roughing up the job market, complicating new hires and long-distance moves.
Few companies still offer straight-forward benefits including guaranteed buyouts of executives' homes. Instead, creative new enticements are taking their place: Payments to aggressively market a house, bonuses for selling quickly, financial aid for extended temporary housing. The trick is settling the brightest workers into the best spots, while avoiding exorbitant costs related to homes left behind.
Employees, meanwhile, are having to take new risks or bypass enticing job offers. The leap is especially big for the nearly 25% of U.S. mortgage holders who owe more than their homes are worth -- or will likely bring at sale.
Linwood Campbell moved 500 miles from Charlotte, N.C., to take a new job as director of catering at Cincinnati's Hilton Netherland Plaza hotel.
Campbell, who left behind an unsold home in Charlotte, where houses are slow to sell and his property has lost $30,000 in value in the past three years, has been renting a house locally since May. In Charlotte, he's still shelling out $450 a month to cover a portion of his mortgage not covered by his new tenant's rent.
"I wanted to move forward in my career, and I couldn't pass up this opportunity," he says. "In this economy, you have to make some hard choices."
Ultimately, the housing slump may have little impact on employee mobility. Out-of-state moves associated with job opportunities remained steady from 2007 to 2009, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
"The difference between being unemployed and employed is enormous for people," says Abigail Wozniak, an assistant economics professor at Notre Dame. "Even when it means they have to take a loss on their house, it's probably a move they're going to make."
But the slump clearly is changing the way job moves are handled.
Companies changing programs
Nationwide, a third of 100 companies across a range of industries said they changed programs in 2009 and 2010 to help relocate employees, according to a survey by Worldwide Employee Relocation Council, a national trade group.
Some companies now offer to pay a portion of the loss of a home sale —" ranging from $10,000 to more than $100,000, depending on the relocating employee's job status. Other employers are redoubling efforts to hire local talent to forego the moving woes and costs altogether.
Before the recession, employers banked on the fact that a relocating employee's home would be sold quickly. Once the deal was done, companies frequently covered real estate commissions and closing costs.
Many companies also offered programs known as guaranteed buyouts. Typically using a private third-party firm, the company would assure the purchase of a relocating employee's home if it didn't sell in a specified amount of time, usually between 60 and 120 days. The employee would be satisfied, and the employer's mortgage service could turn a fairly easy sale.
Companies "were much more willing to participate in the real estate costs for employees because they knew almost as soon as you could get the sign in your yard, it would be sold," says Susan Schneider, president of Worldwide ERC.
But then the housing bubble burst, property values dropped and homes went unsold for extended periods of time. As costs climbed, these relocation benefits became too risky and companies phased them out.
Today, companies are spending more time with employees up front, learning about their real estate commitments before job offers are extended. Rather than a one-size-fits-all relocation program, benefits are decided case by case. That's one of the biggest changes in relocation practice since the recession, says Shirley Siefert, director of corporate business development at Huff Realty.
"If they're finding an employee is in tough situation, they really want to know how much the company is going to take on," Siefert says.
Some companies are even offering to pay a portion of a new hire's rent to steer the employee away from buying a home, Schneider says. Those benefits most often are extended to employees the company expects to relocate again in the near future, she says.
Since 2007, the average cost to relocate a new hire with a home to sell has increased from $61,900 to $66,600, according to Worldwide ERC. The cost to move current, home-owning employees went from $76,600 to $90,000.
The cost to relocate renters, however, has declined from $18,400 to $17,900. The cost to move current employees who rent is now $20,700, down from $22,200.
"We do see a lot of people going into rental positions who would traditionally be buyers," Schneider says.
Some perks are coming back
As the economy slowly recovers, and more companies look to hire, some firms are again considering perks offered before the recession.
"Some companies are coming back saying, 'We have to put guaranteed buy-outs in the program if we're really serious about getting the talent in the right place,' " Schneider says.
Mostly, those benefits are being extended to executive, senior-level hires and relocations.
Companies also are reporting an uptick in planned relocations.
In a recent survey by Atlas Van Lines of 1,000 relocation managers across the U.S., 30% said their company plans to move workers this year -- the highest percentage since 2005.
The Midwest is now the top destination of transfers, followed by the Northeast, the South and West, according to the survey.
Survey respondents work in human resources-personnel or relocation services departments for service, manufacturing, wholesale-retail and financial or government organizations.
Locally, Seiffert says she began to see an increase in activity in the third quarter of last year.
"We have companies that have been very quietly relocating employees, and even some of our larger clients are starting to pick up now," she says. "It's a very encouraging sign."
Tips for employees, employers
For employees:
•Carefully consider the relocation package offered. Can you afford to cover moving costs that your firm isn't providing?
•Be prepared to negotiate. Get estimates for moving trucks, and research the cost of living in the city where you'll move. Actual costs provide hard evidence when you ask for more relocation assistance.
•Know your home's value and options. Will renting your home be a more viable option than trying to sell in your market?
•Consider tax benefits of a move. If you're paying out of pocket, a number of moving expenses and other items can be deducted.
•Be a prepared landlord. If you're renting your home, consider using a third-party manager to handle services for your new tenants. Also hang on to warranties for major appliances that could help you avoid costly maintenance charges.
For employers:
•Conduct frank, pre-decision talks. Help candidates understand the financial impact of a move before they say yes, including: A realistic sale price for the old home, current market conditions in the new locale, a realistic financing sum. Pre-decision services increase the likelihood of a successful move, reducing attrition among key hires after significant investments are made.
•Mandatory broker selection. Requiring your mobile employees to work with brokers with proven relocation expertise can make all the difference between an expedited sale or lingering liability.
•Provide marketing incentives. Allowances to pay for home repairs before listing a house often pay off with quicker sales.
•List price guidelines. Having guidelines under which employees must sell their homes —" listing at no more than 105 % of the appraised value, for example —" can be valuable for both the employee and the company's bottom line.
•Carefully select a relocation partner. Consider third parties with sufficient talent, resources and financial stability to handle your program. What sort of value-added services, such as in-house tax and consulting expertise, can they offer?

Japan showed more signs of winning its 20-year battle against deflation today as the cost of living rose at its fastest pace for more than five years in December.
Core inflation, which includes energy but excludes fresh food, rose 1.3% last month, beating expectations. Over 2013 overall, prices rose 0.4% — the first increase in five years as the Bank of Japan attempts to reflate the economy with aggressive money-printing.
The inflation cheer was matched by rising factory output in December, although fears remain over potential damage to the world's third biggest economy from the recent turmoil in emerging markets.
Prime minister Shinzo Abe is also raising VAT for the first time in 15 years in April to tackle Japan's debts.

The New Diner
Dear Editor,
Please inform reporter Nicholas Briano that his review of the new diner was much too kind. He mentions problems with "poor service, long waits for food (which are really the same thing), dirty dishes and poor management. Nowhere does he mention the poor preparation or quality of the horrible quality of the food. Isn't that what a review of a diner should contain? So before your reporter can suggest a promising future for the diner, let him go there and actually have a meal.

YPG's API-Powered Transformation
The Yellow Pages Group (YPG) has experienced an incredible journey from phonebook supplier to online communications and marketing giant. And since releasing an API, the Canadian company and its business partners continue to enjoy even more growth.
YPG began life as a directory publisher for Bell Canada after the invention of the telephone in 1908. For years the company distributed ad-supported phone books to residents across Canada, until the rise of the Internet rendered this business model obsolete.
Recognizing the need to transition away from print publications, YPG digitized its directory and then went one step further by enlisting Mashery to help launch Yellow API.
"The advertising game is transforming, and Gen Y folks may have never used a phone book," explained YPG's API Director Bradley Wing. "But now our API lets us power the big and small local search apps they use on a daily basis."
As Wing suggests, Yellow API's release greatly benefited YPG especially by connecting it with over 2,300 API-related partners. The Canadian divisions of Google and Yahoo, for instance, use YellowAPI to power their local search results, while FourSquare and YellowAPI have used the platform to work at harmonizing their data sets to improve accuracy at match business locations. Even one YPG's main competitors in the mobile local search space, Poynt, now powers its local with YellowAPI.
In addition to benefiting from these partners, YPG is also helping developers by hosting regular hackathons and contests. Accelerators and events like FounderFuel and HackDays.ca attract developers to use YellowAPI, which in many cases boosts their company's productivity. Contests provide incentives like money, free advertising and increased visibility to programmers who build quality apps.
In this way, YellowAPI has spawned more than 50 apps, including four supported via YPG seed funding through its developer program. Two of these apps, Rendezview and Reservely, use the platform's geolocation data to help Canadians find meeting places and restaurants.Thanks to its API strategy, both YPG and its partners are enjoying increased traffic and revenue. YPG and its properties now claim over 9 million unique users per month and made $360 million in online revenue during 2011. And by equipping YellowAPI with built-in advertising tools, the company is helping developers collect their share of the pie as well.
Beyond these benefits, YPG's decision to partner with Mashery on its Yellow API has positively impacted Canada's economy and environment.
As a side benefit of embracing the digital world, the former phonebook distributer now creates more jobs and less paper waste. If the company's popular Fanboy blog is any sign, Canadian consumers view YPG as a positive influence in their country.
From creating telephone directories to APIs, then, YPG has come a long way and all indications suggest it will remain strong into the 21st century.

commercial software
(software) (Or "commercial off-the-shelf software", COTS) Software that is produced for sale. This contrasts with free software, which is produced for free distribution, meaning without charge and/or without restriction on further distribution.Some companies that sell software distribute some (versions) of products free of charge (but usually with restricted distribution rights), this would probably still be called commercial software. Conversely, software that an individual distributes for free, but for which he accepts donations, would still be called free software.

I touched on this yesterday in a post I wrote directed at the dangers of naive political correctness, but I feel the need to delve deeper into this issue. To start with, here's the latest video from Drinking with Bob.
Bob highlights the key points raised by those who defend these full-body scanners. With the threat of terrorism to airline travel, all measures must be taken to prevent another attack. Also, since access to airline travel is not a guaranteed right but a business transaction, those who wish to travel by plane need to undergo these screenings. Both are fair points, but both are moot.
The two most recent terrorist attacks, the failed Time Square Bomber Faisal Shahzad and the failed "Underwear Bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, are examples of the failure of these Transport Security Administration (TSA) security measures. As CBS' Armen Keteyian reported in May, Shahzad, at the time a man wanted in connection to the failed bomb plot, had slipped past specially trained "behaviour detection" agents. Even with his name on a watch list, it was only right before take-off that law enforcement boarded the plane and arrested Shahzad. The same goes for Abdulmutallab, who had boarded a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan after his own father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab warned authorities of his son's radicalism. If not for his own incompetence and the heroic actions of Jasper Schuringa, Abdulmutallab would have succeeded in killing all 290 people aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253. Clearly, contrary to early claims by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, the system didn't work. It failed miserably on both occasions.
So what is the use of this enormous and intrusive security system if it can't prevent known terrorists from getting past security and boarding planes? It is to give the impression that the TSA is doing its job. Instead of taking necessary steps to combat terrorism at airports, like the security procedures El Al Israel Airlines employs to combat terrorism, all we are seeing is token gestures from an agency which obviously doesn't know what it is doing. Yesterday, John Pistole, Administrator of the TSA, told Congress that the pat-downs would have caught Abdulmutallab, but that is irrelevant. Only passengers who forgo the full-body scan would receive a pat-down, and those machines, as this video demonstrates, aren't reliable for detecting bomb components. (Hat-tip to Cory Doctorow at boingboing)
Aside from the ineffectiveness of the machine, there is the issue of the revealing photos taken during the scan. While the TSA has stated that these pictures will not be stored, US Marshals at a Florida Federal courthouse, which uses the same scanning equipment, saved 35,000 scanner images. Is it any wonder why Napolitano and the TSA have a credibility problem? Former TSA security director Mo McGowan said earlier this week that the Fourth Amendment is going to have to be violated to combat terrorism directed at the airline industry, further demonstrating the lack of respect the TSA officials have for the privacy rights of passengers. (Hat-tip Hot Air's Allahpundit)
If the federal government can't be trusted to ensure the privacy of airline passengers, why should they be trusted to safeguard airports? This issue isn't preventing further attacks. Americans aren't complaining about added security measures. The problem is how effective are these measures at preventing terrorist attacks and whether or not such violations of an individuals privacy are worth it. Since the TSA to failed prevent both Shahzad and Abdulmutallab from boarding planes, it is clear that the system isn't worth such a sacrifice.
So why is the TSA taking the necessary steps to combat terrorism? Political correctness. While Napolitano and TSA officials have stated that religion will not be an excuse for anyone to avoid either the full-body scans or pat-downs, there is more than enough reason to doubt their word. As Nicholas Ballasy of CNS News reported earlier this week, Napolitano herself refused to directly answer this question, instead saying that there will be "adjustments" and "more to come" on the issue. It does appear as if the TSA is under pressure from Muslim groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, who has been instructing Muslim women who wear the hijab to refuse the full-body scans and to advice those administering the pat-downs that they are only allowed to search around their head and neck. Considering that it was Napolitano who refused to use the word "terrorism" during her first testimony on Capitol Hill, instead opting for the term "man-caused disasters," it wouldn't be surprising if those in Muslim garb are given an exemption. The irony of this outcome would be that the TSA would be treating everyone else like suspect terrorists, except those most likely to commit acts of terrorism. Many people already feel this way which is why this picture of a Muslim TSA agent giving a pat-down to an elderly Catholic nun is receiving so much attention.
It does seem as the TSA, trying to demonstrate how politically correct it is, treats airline passengers with less respect than prison officials treat convicted criminals. Even children aren't exempted from this treatment as Hot Air's Ed Morrissey showed in an earlier post this week about a TSA agent patting-down a 3-year-old girl. While not discriminating against one group or another is usually the best way to approach such issues, we know who we are supposed to be looking for and it isn't Catholic nuns and young children.
Many Americans feel that these security measures have crossed the line, and I am inclined to agree with them. While those like Bob stress the importance of being vigilant, these TSA security measures are absurd. No matter what John Pistole, the Administrator of the TSA says, it is clear that these security measures aren't working. They have already failed to prevent Faisal Shahzad and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from bordering international flights and the only thing they do seem capable of doing is infuriating the majority of airline passengers who aren't terrorists.
UPDATE: The Right Scoop has an article up on Hot Air discussing remarks airline pilot Michael Roberts made on Sean Hannity's show. While I do believe this screening has gone too far, this discussion point about how it would be easy for a pilot to bring down an airplane is misguided. Though a slightly different scenario, FedEx Flight 705, where Auburn Calloway a disgruntled employee who attempted to hijack and crash the plane, demonstrates why some kind of screening of crew is necessary. A single pilot couldn't crash the plane himself without some way to subdue everyone else in the cockpit. While Calloway did smuggle weapons aboard for this task, he was overpowered. Does that mean I support the TSA in checking the genitals of pilots? Of course not. As I explained in this post, these security procedures are far too intrusive and aren't that effective. This doesn't mean, however, that pilots, as well as other crew members, shouldn't have to go through the same screening as passengers before boarding a plane as they could pose the same threat, if not a greater one, to the lives of all those aboard.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Passers-by left a gang-raped Indian student lying unclothed and bleeding in the street for almost an hour, a male friend who was assaulted with her said on Friday in his first public comments on the case that provoked a global outcry.
The 23-year-old student died in hospital two weeks after she was attacked on December 16 in a private bus in New Delhi, prompting street protests over the Indian authorities' failure to stem rampant violence against women.
The graphic account from the man in a television interview is likely to add fuel to public anger over the death in a country where official statistics show one rape is reported every 20 minutes.
The woman's friend told the Zee News television network he was beaten unconscious with a metal bar by her attackers before the pair were thrown off the bus.
They lay in the street for 45 minutes before a police van arrived and officers then spent a long time arguing about where to take them, the man said.
"We kept shouting at the police, 'please give us some clothes' but they were busy deciding which police station our case should be registered at," the man said in Hindi.
Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told Reuters GPS records show the first police van reached the scene four minutes after it was were called and took the man and the woman to hospital within 24 minutes.
Neither the woman nor her friend have been named. Five men were charged with her gang rape and murder on Thursday. A court is due to consider the charges on Saturday. Continued...

Linda (Cole) Hernes
Funeral services for Linda (Cole) Hernes will be held at 2 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2014 at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home with Hospice Chaplin, Tim Arlett officiating. Burial will follow at South Park Cemetery. Visitation will be 2-8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014 at Anderson Bethany Funeral Home.
Linda lost her long, hard-fought battle with cancer on Aug. 30, 2014 in Santa Fe. Born Linda Marie Cole on March 3, 1952 to Houston [auth] and Margaret Mae (Underwood) Cole in Roswell, Linda grew up in Roswell and ultimately attended Goddard High School. In 1974 she married Gary Hernes, and they moved to Santa Fe with their daughter, Shauna.
Although she had other career aspirations, Linda embraced her new role as a homemaker, mother, family nurse, tutor and many more as she took care of her family. When her daughter grew up and had her own children, Linda adapted easily to the role of loving grandmother. Nothing meant more to Linda than her family.
Linda never hesitated to help others — she served as caregiver for Gary's mother and her own sister, Katherine (Cole) Shanks, after they were each diagnosed with cancer.
Linda is survived by her husband Gary, her daughter Shauna Hernes, granddaughters Desiree Montoya and Kaelyn Montoya, ex-son-in-law Patrick Montoya, her father Houston Cole, step-father Dudley (Junior) Parks, brothers Dale, David, Paul, and Gary Parks, three nieces and their families, and many others too numerous to mention.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother Faye Rawdon, her mother Margaret Mae (Underwood) Parks, her sister Katherine, and her mother-in-law Margaret Hernes.
Pallbearers include Bill Shanks, Charles Uitts, Earl Hardy, Mark Hendricks, Robert Castillo, and Dwayne Skipper. Honorary pallbearers include Patrick Montoya, Chris Quintana, and David Burton.

iPad, Camera Connection Kit & Image File Names
This really took me for a ride!! In the past two days I burnt so much of energy trying HARD to transfer some JPEG and PNG files from my laptop to my iPad. The simple intention was to use those nice files for the "Digital Photo Frame" feature of the iPad. So, now I got my iPad Camera Connection Kit (CCK, as some people refer to it) and a 2GB SD card. I went over to my laptop, happily copied my favorite pictures to the SD card and inserted it into the SD Card connector on to the iPad. After a few seconds, the Photo application came up with a new Camera tab with a message "No photos to import". A bit baffled.
I triple-checked my SD card that the files were indeed there (underneath DCIM folder from the root) and they were readable by opening them off the card itself – no problems on that front but no luck yet. Confused enough, I deleted all the images on the card and copied a different set and repeated the procedure. To bring a little smile, this time iPad recognized some images on the card, but not all of them I copied. I went a step ahead and analyzed/compared the image properties (height, width, bit depth, file size, etc.) of the files recognized by iPad and those were not, but finally it hardly made any sense.
Frustrated enough I thought I would fool the iPad that the images were created by a camera by renaming the files on the card as DSC_NNNN.jpg where NNNN is a 0-padded number (almost all cameras save images in this file name format, numbering them sequentially) and inserted the card into the connector. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! There you go!! iPad recognized all the images I copied without any fuss! Honestly, this file renaming thing occurred to me completely from nowhere and I never ever thought it would work.
[iPad recognizes images named as per the standard naming convention – IMG_NNNN or DSC_NNNNN; ignores others.]
Sure, I know this is a Camera Connection Kit and it is intended to import stuff from a camera but isn't too much to expect people to plug in their memory card hot out of the camera into the connector OR have dependencies on the file names!!
I usually name my pictures as descriptive as possible, just out of habit but never I would land in such a funny trouble one day!
I hops this helps someone.

'20 Feet From Stardom': Shining The Spotlight On Backup Singers
This week, 20 Feet From Stardom was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature. Today we revisit our conversation with the film's director and stars.
In David Bowie's song, "Young Americans," Bowie's distinctive voice is easy to pick out. Yet if you listen closely, you can hear another famous singer wailing on the track in the background: Luther Vandross. Vandross was the rare backup singer who achieved fame all his own.
It's a subject addressed in 20 Feet From Stardom, a new documentary focusing on those oft-overlooked singers. The film is filled with fascinating interviews with stars like Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen, rare footage of backup singers at work, and goosebump-inducing clips of the supremely talented vocalists who support big-time artists.
Morgan Neville, who directed the film, and singers, Darlene Love and Merry Clayton, join Soundcheck host John Schaefer in the studio for a lively conversation about the previously obscured world of backup singing.
This segment originally aired on June 18, 2013.
Morgan Neville, on the difficulty of making a movie about people who stay in the background:
It was actually incredibly difficult to research this because nobody ever notices the backup singers. Nobody ever says, "I've got great photos of backup singers." It's always, "I've got a great photo of Tina Turner." And then in the background there happens to be a great setup of backup singers. I had to do all this research of the stars that had backup singers to then actually find the footage, and every time I would find one of these nuggets, it was just incredible.
Darlene Love, on learning how to sing through the church:
Early in our lives, we learned how to blend. Nobody's voice could stick out. We had to listen to one another and do inflections together, do little runs — we had to do that together. It became a joy. Actually, it ended up being fun because we could to those kinds of things. And then record producers ended up depending on us to do those kinds of things when we went into recording sessions.
Merry Clayton, on the current state of backing singers:
There are no backup singers anymore. It's over. That started going away about the mid-80s. They're all on the road now backing people. They're making a fantastic living by doing that. Somebody like [Rolling Stones live backup singer] Lisa Fischer can demand unbelievable payment for what she's doing.
Watch Judith Hill, a young backup singer and one of the stars of the film, perform on The Voice.

The insurance company is sending out information to doctors and health care facilities, warning about problems that can come from delivering babies early. Four out of 10 upstate New Yorkers don't always take their prescriptions By Ellen Abbott • Mar 26, 2015 CREDIT ONPOINT.WBUR.ORG Excellus BlueCross BlueShield now has a better idea of why four out of every ten upstate New York adults don't always take prescriptions as prescribed. The insurance company got the answers from patients through a comprehensive survey. Central New York lags behind when it comes to getting flu shots By Ellen Abbott • Oct 2, 2014 Daniel Paquet / Flickr It's that time of year when experts recommend getting a flu shot, but many central New Yorkers aren't getting that message. A larger percentage of central New Yorkers get vaccine preventable diseases like the flu than in any other part of upstate New York, according to state Health Department numbers compiled by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. Regional President Dr. Arthur Vercillo says that mirrors the number of people getting flu shots. New York organ donations lag far behind national average By Catherine Loper • Jul 30, 2014 A new report recommends that New York simplify its organ donation process, because 18 people die per day in the state awaiting a transplant. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield conducted the study. The company's medical director, Dr. Martin Lustick, says they found that just 22 percent of New Yorkers are registered donors, compared to 48 percent nationally. "Unlike states that have a high rate of registration, our process for registering is somewhat more cumbersome than the average across the country," Lustick said. Excellus health insurance launches new community campaign By Ellen Abbott • Feb 24, 2014 Excellus Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) is launching a new campaign to remind people of the importance of taking prescription medications as directed. In many hospitals, it's called medication adherence, and it's an issue that's becoming a hot topic in the health world today. BCBS Regional President Arthur Vercillo says statistics show 75 percent of patients don't take their prescriptions as directed. Health insurance enrollment deadline looms By Ellen Abbott • Dec 18, 2013 There are only five days left for individuals to enroll in new health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, if they want that coverage to begin Jan. 1. But central New York insurers are urging people to avoid waiting until the last minute. Three upstate NY regions have low Medicare costs By Catherine Loper • Jul 31, 2013 Parts of upstate New York are spending less on Medicare than other regions of the U.S., according to a recent report by the Institute of Medicine.The study analyzed health care spending, utilization and quality in more than 300 cities nationwide. Three upstate New York cities ranked among the lowest 20 spenders. Syracuse ranked 19th, while Buffalo ranked fourth. Rochester was found to have the lowest Medicare spending in the country. Its costs per beneficiary was $174 a month lower than the study's median.

The coupling of a hearing aid loudspeaker membrane to visco-thermal air layers
Kampinga, W.R. and Bosschaart, C. and Wijnant, Y.H. and Boer, A. de (2007) The coupling of a hearing aid loudspeaker membrane to visco-thermal air layers. In: Fourteenth International Congress on Sound and Vibration, ICSV14, 9-12 July, 2007, Cairns, Australia.
|Hearing aids and their components are becoming smaller. This presents new problems for the acoustical components, such as the loudspeaker. A circular membrane of a hearing aid loudspeaker is modeled in this paper. Neglecting air influences, the membrane and its suspension behave as a mass spring system. However, under operating conditions, thin layers of air on both sides of the membrane influence its behavior. Air can enter and leave these layers at certain locations on the circular edge of the layer. Since these air layers are thin, visco-thermal effects may have to be taken into account. Therefore, the air layers are not modeled by the wave equation, but by the low reduced frequency model that takes these visco-thermal effects into account. The equations of this model are solved in a polar coordinate system, using a wave-based method. The other acoustical parts of the hearing aid loudspeaker, and the membrane itself are modeled by simple lumped models. The emphasis in this paper is on the coupling of the viscothermal air layer model to the mechanical model of the membrane. Coupling of the air layer to other acoustical parts by using an impedance as boundary condition for the layer model, is also described. The resulting model is verified by experiments. The model and the measurements match reasonably well, considering the level of approximation with lumped parts.

I remember reading this board last year after the Evans-Cundiff debacle in Foxboro. I couldn't sleep. I had a hard time eating. I was torn up because I thought we had blown our best shot to go to the Super Bowl in a long time. And I know that you won't always get that shot. There are tons of die-hard, classy, dedicated fans around the country who have never seen their team go to a Super Bowl. I feared that I would have to feast on the memories of Super Bowl XXXV for the rest of my life.
But this team has done the incredible. From Joe Flacco's pinpoint throws, to Q's will-not-be-denied TD catches, to Pitta getting up after a clearly illegal hit, to Ellerbe intercepting a ball with a cast the size of a bowling ball on his left hand, to Pierce/Rice/Leach getting key first downs, this team refused to give up. And now, at the same site of last year's debacle, they persevered, they believed and they overcame.
As soon as the game was over, I paid through the nose, but I will be going to New Orleans with my father, brother and sister (my Mom and wife are not football fans and my kids are too young) to take in Super Bowl XLVII.
We aren't done yet. We still have work to do.
But that work is the concern of another day. Tonight I want to thank all of you for providing me an outlet of like-minded fans, believers in the team and lovers of Baltimore. Thank you for giving me somewhere to go in the darkest hours of last year's loss. Thank you also to the team for never giving up and always believing -- Ray, Sizzle, Ed, Joe, Ray Rice, college classmate Matt Birk, Mount McKinnie, Marshall Yanda, Q, Torrey, Dennis, Justin, Sam, Jacoby and everybody who made this happen. I am proud of you. Now get out there and win it all -- and send the General out in style.
If anybody else is going to New Orleans, let me know. After the tickets bled me dry, I will likely be road tripping down there. But I will be there. Let's hope the team can bring it home.

The buy-to-let years: How ordinary people have turned every £1,000 invested in 1996 into more than £13,000 today
- Landlords who 'gear' portfolios with extra borrowing have done the best
- Benevolent conditions since introduction of landlord mortgages have helped returns soar
Long-standing buy-to-let landlords have seen a typical return on their money of 1,200 per cent in 18 years - with those who 'geared' their investments with mortgage borrowing walking away with the most.
A combination of cheap mortgages, soaring house prices and a market that has advantaged equity-rich landlords versus first-time buyers has seen the returns on rental properties outstrip most alternative asset classes, according to a study of the sector.
The startling returns pocketed by landlords who invested in their properties when the first dedicated buy-to-let mortgages emerged in 1996 have been revealed in research by lender Paragon.
Buy-to-let: Benevolent conditions since introduction of landlord mortgages have helped returns soar
The analysis shows every £1,000 invested in an average buy-to-let property in the final quarter of 1996 would have been worth £13,048 by the final quarter of 2013.
Over the same period you would have got 7.9 per cent from commercial property, 6.8 per cent in shares, 6.5 per cent in bonds and 4 per cent in cash.
Former maths teachers Judith and Fergus Wilson have done well out of the buy-to-let boom.
They have become property millionaires by building up a portfolio of 1,000 buy-to-lets around Ashford,Kent since 1995 using mortgage debt.
It has not been without controversy though as they have been criticised for snubbing tenants who are on benefits.
How it has paid to 'gear' property investment with mortgage borrowing
It is those who used mortgages to fund their portfolio that have done best out of the buy-to-let boom.
Using the Nationwide house price index and rental data from property company LSL, researchers showed that a cash investor would have seem every £1,000 in a buy-to-let property purchase in 1996 be worth £4,791 by the end of 2013.
Over this 17 year period, the landlord would have accumulated over £97,800 of profit from the property, a compound average annual return of 9.7 per cent.
However, this would have been insufficient to purchase another property outright, so he/she would have ended the period with only the single property they bought back in 1996.
The same property purchased with a 75 per cent loan-to-value buy-to-let mortgage over the same period would have turned each £1,000 invested into £13,048, a compound rate of return of 16.3 per cent, or overall return of 1,200 per cent.
Performance: Buy-to-let has outperformed other assets, but it is less liquid
This investor would have accumulated enough surplus cash flow from their buy-to-let property to put down a 25 per cent deposit and meet purchase and set up costs on a second property by 2011.
The amount you can borrow with a buy-to-let mortgage is worked out based on the rent the property can generate, rather than the earnings of the borrower.
Most are on an interest-only basis, so the amount borrowed will not be paid off over time but the payments should be more than covered by your rental income.
Mortgage interest payments can be used to offset tax and paid from gross rental income, and an interest-only loan simplifies this process.
At the end of the mortgage term you could either sell the property or remortgage to pay off the loan.
Your return will also be affected by any maintenance costs and the initial outlay for the mortgage such as fees.
Some of this can be reclaimed against your tax allowance.
Find out what HMRC will let you claim for.
By the end of 2013, their two properties would together be worth £348,900, providing total capital gains of £125,600 on an initial investment of £15,400.
This assumes a mortgage of 1.75 per cent above Bank of England bank rate on loans taken out before the second quarter of 2008, and 4 per cent above thereafter.
Investors have seen the most profits where they have remortgaged their buy-to-let to release equity and fund further purchases.
The research claims that an investor who had a 75 per cent loan-to-value mortgage on a £1,000 property in 1996, could have accumulated 10 properties and turned each £1,000 on initial investment into £33,051 just by remortgaging.
The graph below shows the difference in returns compared with portfolio size and whether you prioritise repaying your mortgage or remortgaging to build up your portfolio, with the latter outperforming the rest.
Investing for income - but it is house price rises that have driven returns
While the attraction of becoming a buy-to-let investor may be that it can provide regular income through steadily rising rents, it is capital gains from house price rises that account for the bulk of return.
Capital gains make up 55 per cent of total returns for unmortgaged investors, with the rest from net rental income.
Investors who have taken advantage of cheap credit have done even better out of rising prices. A mortgaged investor would have made 68 per cent of their profits in capital gains and 32 per cent from rental income.
Strategy: The biggest profits have come from those remortgaging to release money and grow their portfolio
This is because the mortgaged investor can build up a portfolio more quickly by using mortgage debt to buy a greater number of properties.
Eighteen: The buy-to-let sector emerged in 1996
Buy-to-let comes with different costs to other investment asset classes. You need to buy a property either with cash or a mortgage and need to make an allowance for property management and maintenance.
This means there is more active involvement then if you build a portfolio of shares or funds over a medium or long-term period, and the risk is less diversified.
It is less liquid than shares or cash as you cannot easily access your money, but most fans of buy-to-let claim there is far less volatility over the long term.
The future
The figures for the buy-to-let sector look positive, but past performance is not and indicator of the future and risks remain..
House prices are rising in general, and rising very quickly in some regions. There is the chance of a property crash which would hit the gains investors have made. Those whoi have geared their investment with extra borrowing stand to lose the most if prices crash.
The graphs even show that between 2008 and 2010 income and gains were down and with the prospect of rising interest rates in the UK, the buy-to-let market may suffer, particular when it comes to mortgage pricing.
Returns: The income and capital gains for an unmortgaged investor
Mortgaged investor: The income and capital gains have been bigger for those using gearing
Paragon predicts returns in the sector will grow at 11.3 per cent per year for the next decade for mortgaged investors, and 6.3 per cent for those not using mortgages
Buy-to-let mortgage rates have remained stable in recent months despite the residential rates rising from the withdrawal of the Funding for Lending scheme and the possibility of increased interest rates.
For a 25 per cent deposit, The Mortgage Works has a low rate of 2.99 per cent but the cost of the mortgage is pushed up by a 2.5 per cent fee.
Accord offers a rate of 2.84 per cent for a 25 per cent deposit, with a 2.5 per cent fee. The same mortgage scenario would cost £12,270 over two years.
The Post Office has a two-year fixed rate of 3.29 per cent and a £1,495 fee.

Aloha we are the Judds! We love solar power, gardening, surfing and escaping to the beautiful North Shore.
The Owner purchased this farmhouse in 2007
We have owned our beachfront home across the street at Pipeline for 30 years and when the opportunity came to have more space to share with our friends and guests like you we jumped. The Lodge is situated on 3 acres, enough space to turn it into a permaculture sustainable farm!
I love waking up eating a papaya from the farm, watching the visiting whales or a new swell roll in from the top deck of The Lodge, listening to the birds or going for a hike just out the back door.
We just celebrated our second New Years Eve on the property and between the champagne, dancing, and fireworks I couldn't think of anyplace in the world I would rather be :)
Mahalo for a great stay! The Lodge had plenty of room for everyone. The decks are outstanding and covered, which allowed us to sit or eat outside rain or shne. The views from the upper deck are amazing, as are the sunsets & rainbows. Waking every morning to a symphony of mother nature was refreshing. The kitchen is well equipped with a large island. Great for prep work and space enough for all seven of us to eat comfortably. The snorkle gear and beach items were a wonderful addition. The beach was just minutes walk from the Lodge and numerous other great beaches dot the area up & down the North Shore and don't forget to stop by the Waimea Valley Botanical gardens and take in the natural beauty and a swim at the waterfall. The Lodge was fantastic and ensured we had a great 9-days. Would not hestitate to recommend the Lodge to anyone. If we go to Oahu again I would be sure to stay at Meleana's place. Again, Mahalo for the slice of paradise.
My groomsmen and I stayed in this 2 story beautiful home for 7 glorious days. Being in a spot (pipeline) (sharks cove) were everyone on the island wants to visit was awesome. The short distance to play a round of golf at turtlebay and kuhuku golf course made a already great locale amazing. Food trucks at the beginning of the driveway gave my guest a chance to try local food effortlessly. The house had amenities I was not expecting washer and dryer, outside shower ( must try), 2 bbq grills, satellite tv, dishes pots and pans and tons more. We had a life changing experience at this lovely home.
This property was dirty and had roaches crawling around everywhere.. There aren't enough towels and no air conditioning. The downstairs area was a mess. The laundry area was a mess also. Just not taken care of and not cleaned . the owner told me to hang up my laundry on the line...but it was a rope with no pins. The property is not marked well from the street ...making it impossible to find at night. When I visited the organic farm below the women were standoffish and rude...then apologized when we said we were staying at "the lodge". The view is nice but the furniture to sit on to watch it is dirty...so you never feel comfortable here.
We had the most amazing time here! The lodge was the greatest place to come home to after our sight seeing adventures during the day. The view from the upper deck was the best! We hope to make it back sometime in the future. Everything was so wonderful about this location~ a short walk to the beach, short bike ride (thanks for providing the bikes and snorkel gear, Meleana!) or drive to Shark's Cove snorkeling beach and FOOD carts! We loved the cart at the bottom of the road leading to the lodge that sells acai berry bowls, yum! The farmers market on Saturdays at Sunset Grade School (right next door!) and the Thursday Waimea Valley Farmer's Market (10 minute drive) are not to be missed. We felt very much a part of the community on this trip and enjoyed being part of the north shore culture! Just 15 minutes east is the awesome town of Haleiwa known for it's shopping, shave ice, fishing, surfing and food carts. We loved the Beet Box Cafe which is located inside of the Celestial Natural Foods Store- which is awesome, too. Thanks to Meleana- we had fresh, awesome veggies and fruit to partake of during our stay from the farm located right below the lodge. If you are a health foodie, this is the place for you! On behalf of the 11 family members that stayed in the lodge for two weeks, we thank Meleana and the farm crew for an amazing stay.
My family just came back from an extended stay on the North Shore of Oahu...We were fortunate enough to have found this lovely home to stay in for our vacation.
Where to begin...
The view off the upper patio was a major highlight of our day. We'd get up in the AM, have some breakfast, watch the surf roll in and plan our day. As well, you could see countless whales breaching the ocean surface in the distance. In the PM, the sunsets were immaculate as we sat down to dinner with a few frosty brews.
The house itself if located up on a hill nestled in the lush green fauna (our little guy called it "His Green House"). The house provided more than ample space for 8 Adults & a handful of kids. The bunk beds were a godsend as there were some small children travelling in our group. The kitchen was large enough to accomodate a large group.
The Beaches - Take your pick. This house is located right in the middle of the North Shore...Most days we'd get to the end of the driveway and flip a coin to go either left or right...Going Right out of the driveway, there was a short jaunt to Turtle Bay (saw a monk seal basking on the shore)...Sunset Beach...Kawela Bay (Great for kids)...The Polynesian centre was just a short 20-25 minute drive away as well.
Going Left out of the driveway, a short drive took you to the Foodland grocery store (very handy location) Shark's Cove, Waimea Bay & Haleiwa Town (saw some sea turtles here).
A short walk to the end of the driveway took you to Pipeline Beach - simply amazing!!! We were fortunate to take in a few surfing and bodyboarding competitions during our stay here...As well, right around the corner, there is Sunset Beach Elementary School which has playground equipment for the kids to play on.
The Lodge comes with a variety of snorkeling gear/body boards and various beach equipment...so no need to bring all that stuff with you. As well, be sure to ask Meleana about surfboards. The house also had a variety of kid/baby gear (stroller, high chair, playpens etc.) We loved having a couple of bikes at our disposal as well, it was fun cruising along the path between the beaches.
I do recommend getting your CSA basket from the wonderful garden on the property below the House. It's $25 and you'll end up with enough goodies to last you for a week. Special thanks to the wonderful crew that maintain the properties there - Tia, Mike, Jerome, Ash...Everybody was very helpful.
We can't wait to get back to the North Shore again...Mahalo!!!
What an amazing experience to get away from it all while being so close to the best n.shore beaches! The property has incredible views, perfect for relaxing and having romantic dinners on the large lanai! Also a plus is the wonderful organic vegetable garden on the property where fresh veggies and fruits are available from the owner. Private, peaceful, and tastefully decorated--a great place to share with your loved one!!
Onsite FARMING!, walking distance to Sunset Beach Elementary School's Saturday AM Farmer's Market, 3 miles of shaded bike path across the street, and a hiking trail starts out the back door!

The price of vanity: Nadine Dorries will cost the taxpayer at least £6158 while she's on "I'm a celebrity"
The New Statesman reported earlier that Nadine Dorries will receive £5748 from the taxpayer while she's recording "I'm a celebrity".
In fact, it will be significantly higher.
Since March 2011 Dorries has sat on the "Panel of Chairs", whose role is to "chair Public Bill Committees and other general committees. They may also chair debates in Westminster Hall and act as temporary chairs of Committees of the whole House."
As Dorries has been a member for over a year, she receives an additional £8166 per year on top of her salary, bringing it up to £73,904 per year.
That means Dorries is in fact costing the taxpayer the astonishing sum of at least £6158 in salary alone during her
vanity exercise important MPs work on prime time TV.
Expenses could bring the total close to £10,000.
And to think she calls other people "out of touch"…

This website is part of the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) network
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
During the influenza season - and especially while influenza cases are occurring in your community - citizens should adopt preventative measures recommended by their national authorities; these may include: personal hygiene measures and vaccination for those recommended. Vaccination is the most effective of these and it is ECDC advice that all those who are recommended to have the influenza vaccine by their national authorities should get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Virological analysis show that the 2010 trivalent seasonal influenza vaccines will protect against this season's influenza viruses.
The proportion of the population immunised in 2010 will not be known for some time, however the most recent figures have ranged from nearly 80% to under 10% among older people and even lower rates among those in the risk groups (with pregnant women usually having the lowest coverage).
Vaccines and vaccination can be an emotive issue and citizens rightly ask for assurance that vaccines are both safe and effective. The scientific evidence shows that seasonal influenza vaccines are effective and very safe. They provide a protection of up to 80% against influenza on an individual basis. ECDC will continue to work closely with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) – which is the EU agency responsible for the regulation of medicines at European level, including vaccines – to ensure that the relevant information on safety and effectiveness is readily available to all who want or need it.

text: When combining two hives, and empty hive is left where the combined hive was, should the bees that go back to the old hive spot be combined also? The reason I ask this question since the literature explains that the bees are down sizing for the winter months. Here in Northeast Texas the temps are still rather warm, and flutuating.

Hi Everyone,
I know the other day the folks on the set of the Harvest Show touched on the results of the Tunisian election.
Lets carry on a little more in the discussion. The election has been won by the Islamist Ennahda party.
Looking from here, there is something frustrating in this victory.
In contrast to other Arab countries, Tunisia was prominent in its education for tolerance.
In the school there, their textbooks have been cited as among the most advanced in the Arab world.
The texts educate towards acceptance of the 'other', religious tolerance and the values of peace.
And yet, we see the citizens of the country have given the victory to an Islamist party.
Some in the media have said that the election results are a bitter disappointment to those who had high hopes for the country that had served as the catalyst for the 'Arab Spring'.
Perhaps it is to early in the development of this move of the people there to embrace a liberal democracy.
We can see from another country in the forefront of the news right now – Turkey, that such a concept did not really work.
At best one there in Tunisia can hope for an Islamist democracy.
But with a view from here in the Middle East, and with a play of words, one might see that if not an Arab Spring, then an Islamist Spring.

Hey fitgirl63, welcome aboard. I'll be your buddy. 4 months ago I was much worse off than you at 5'-2" and 244 pounds. As of this morning I'm down to 188, 56 down, 68 to go. I'm going to see 120 pounds again, come hell or high water. I hear you on the "would love to see 135 again", won't that be a great day? I always thought I was "fat" as a teenager, now I look at those old pictures and think "where did those legs go?".
There is a section on the forums where you can get recipes, just scroll down and look for "Food" or you can do a search. I'm not on Facebook, but there are some really good discussions in the women's corner where a lot of us check in regularly. I'm finding the food and exercise log to be really key in my journey to get fit again. I just try and keep my intake lower than my burn by about 1000 calories a day, which is pretty easy so long as I get my daily workout. I also have a pedometer which I LOVE. They are like $15-30 and I find it to be a great motivator. I've made 10,000 steps almost everyday since Christmas.

Around the island and around town
on Wednesday we drove north from Mesta to Volissos, a working mountain village in northwest Chios. After a terrific lunch of locally raised salad and veggies, we drove around the northeast part of the island on narrow mountain roads with breathtaking views of forests, streams, and the sea. After a brief stop at an ancient temple of Cybele, popularly known as "Homer's seat" (he was thought to teach and recite here), we cruised into Chios Town and back to the Grecian Castle ...
A grand day out
... ravaged by the Turks. The first has remained a ghost town, but the second is being revived as a weekend and holiday getaway with lovely little houses and breathtaking sea views. On the way back to Mesta, we had tea in the charming mastic village of Vessa and a great seaside fish dinner in Limenas. ...
The Mastic Villages
Yesterday we drove to Mesta, in southwestern Chios, our base for exploring the mastihohoria or mastic villages. These walled, fortified towns were the center of the mastic trade, which flourished on Chios from the 16th century to the end of Turkish rule. (Mastic was used to make chewing gum, flavorings, medicine, and fixatives.) Mesta is dark but beautiful. Pyrgi, which we visited today, is a work of art - full of black and white houses decorated in the Genoese sgraffito style. ...
Chez Zygomala
We flew into Chios Friday evening and checked into the Grecian Castle, a comfortable hotel on the seafront. Saturday we visited a lovely old library dedicated to Chiot history and culture; then the Archeology Museum, where we saw a stone tablet with an order from Alexander the Great granting home rule to Chios along with his letter asking the Chiots to be lenient with his ...
Chickened out at Chios
... Bev our Australian hostess provided me with cold & flu tablets which were very helpful. So I rested whilst the group toured some of Chios and visited a citrus farm, of which the latter wasn't so very interesting.
Lunch on the ship, and about noon we set sail for Mykonos.

Late yesterday evening whilst scrolling through facebook I noticed a picture that was circulating. Chocolate brownies with only three ingredients, Nutella, flour and eggs. Perfect easy baking for kids I thought. So this afternoon we gave them a go.....
250g Nutella
65g Self raising flour
2 eggs
Chester helped me mix the ingredients together whilst Millie licked the Nutella spoon!
Now this mix looked a little small to me so I then added the same amount of ingredients again. Looking back it would have easily made 18 squares of brownie.
We decided to add some white chocolate chips as we had some spare in the cupboard. I poured the mix into a deep baking tray lined with baking paper and baked on 180 for 30 minutes.
This is what they look like....
They are delicious, I would say that they are not as gooey as regular brownies but they are still very yummy and so easy for children to help bake! Let me know how you get on if you give them a go!

Trying to gain entrance to Sunday night's MIIKE SNOW show at the House of Blues was
sort of tantamount to trying sneak across the Mexican border with a bag
of smack in each pocket. A little before 9 pm they had a line of people waiting outside that stretched down Lansdowne Street, from the club's doors to just about
to the corner of Brookline Avenue. Along said line were four or five
checkpoints at which they held us for an arbitrary amount of time, during
which we all become collectively more agitated, before making us prove
we weren't trying to firebomb the House of Blues or sneak in booze or
whatever. It was sort of, really intense. And intensely frustrating as
we could all hear the muffled notes of opener Penguin Prison's
"Don't Fuck with My Money" come to a close from inside while the HoB task force cavity searched our
belongings. If I'd had those drugs on me, they'd have found them. I'm
guessing the reason for all the police state-like security was that
this show was sold the eff out. Quite possibly over-sold out. So sold
out that the people -- like myself-- unlucky enough to be stuck in the
music venue purgatory that is the mezzanine [unless you're
three-feet-tall or ten-feet-tall you're not seeing anything but the back
of other's people's heads up there] were literally trying to
bribe/sweet talk/menace the bouncers into letting them downstairs to
floor level. Mostly to no avail. [Pro tip: there is a bouncer, who will
remain unidentified, who will lead you downstairs, past other dissenting
bouncers, like some sort of fairy godperson of obstructed viewing if
you plead your case convincingly enough. I didn't. I instead pretended
to be with a couple who actually did plead convincingly enough and followed
them creepily downstairs as they followed the bouncer. Gotta do what you
gotta do.]
Having finally made it down to the floor level, only three beers and a lot of
fruitless bartering with bouncers later, I could finally see what all
the fuss was about. Miike Snow had the stage set up like some sort of
futuristic mainframe with Swedish production team Bloodshy & Avant a/k/a
Christian Karlsson and Pontus
Winnberg lording atop a hub of blinking lights and production equipment
that looked like a spaceship from the planet Hipstergon whose main
export is slick electro-beats and frenetic dance party loops. They come in peace. Frontman
Andrew Wyatt [nee member of Brooklyn's The A.M.], by comparison, was
firmly rooted on Earth, shambling across the stage in front of the
production hub, his long, lanky limbs jerking around in time to the beat.
He's an odd-looking dude, but wears his awkwardness well, slipping
languidly into the crowd, almost as an after-thought, to crowd surf
for moment before climbing back onstage, long hair flying.Song
melted into song, as Miike Snow tend to stretch their tracks out by
three or four minutes, ending each track in a dizzying crescendo of
flashing lights and pulsing dancehall beats that whip the crowd into a
fervor before reigning them back in. It's effective, and it's damn fun,
engaging the whole crowd in a collective mass of flying limbs and
wagging heads. Damn fun at least for everyone but one young girl who
must have somehow slipped her own stash past the gauntlet of security
outside. "I hate you!" she slurred at her boyfriend as a bouncer
dragged her from the crowd after she windmilled into a velvet-roped
barrier taking both it and her put-upon looking boyfriend down with her.
I didn't get the feeling it was really his fault but, hey. The band came back for two encores, the last of which was that brainworm of a single. I think you know the one.

As the overall leader in the Eastern Athletic League, the Paradise High varsity girls basketball team is very much in the hunt for a third consecutive league championship this year.
Currently, the Bobcats (14-9, 4-1 EAL) lead Pleasant Valley (13-9, 3-1) by a half-game following their 50-44 EAL win at home over Oroville Friday night. PV, which was idle on Friday and scouting Paradise against the Tigers, travels to Oroville Wednesday to take on Las Plumas.
A league championship is likely to help Paradise, which returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Friday for its homecoming game against LP, vault up from its current three spot in the Northern Section Division III playoff points.
Right now, Paradise trails Oroville (16-6) and overall leader Enterprise (22-1) in D-III this week.
While the Hornets will be tough to catch, Paradise and Oroville each have three upper division wins, which means how each school does in round two against PV and Chico will go a long way in determining the No. 2 seed in the division this year.
Oroville travels to Chico for a 7:30 p.m. showdown against the Panthers Wednesday.
Seeds will officially get released Feb. 16.

Hey guys! I've browsed this forum for a while and learned a lot about what you guys have posted on here. I've always been a driving enthusiasts and a die-hard Subaru fan. I've driven a Subaru for the last 6 years. In 2009 I got one step closer to my dream ride (STI), but I'm totally happy with it. I take it up to Tahoe for skiing and snow drifting.
I also own a portable speaker company based out of San Francisco called Boombotix. We make speakers for people that like to push the limits. They're pretty rad for biking, skiing/boarding and just about anything outdoors. I have my whip proudly tatted with the decals as you can see.
The reason I joined this forum is to A)Meet other Subaru enthusiasts that would be down to do some casual slalom/rallycross and B) learn more about turning. Looking forward to being part of THE CLUB.

How the Majority Leader Frames Budget
On the same day Albany lawmakers passed an on-time budget for 2011-12, two of the three men in the room opted to issue their postmortem statements using online videos. The first came from Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, this morning. Now, the New York State Senate is putting its spin on what it all means.
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos framed
For the past two years, when state government was controlled by the Democrats, New Yorkers were hit with late budgets that increased spending and taxes and drove jobs out of the state. We promised to put an end to that dysfunction and restore fiscal sanity cutting taxes, reducing spending and creating jobs. The budget we passed two days before April 1st deadline fulfills those promises.
