Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell this week near record lows, providing more incentive for Americans to buy homes and refinance.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac (FMCC) said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan dipped to 3.32%. That's below last week's rate of 3.34%. And it's just above the 3.31% lowest rate on record dating to 1971.
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage declined to 2.66% from 2.67% last week. The record low is 2.63%. The rate on the 30-year loan has stayed below 4% almost all year, helping spark a modest housing recovery.
Sales of newly built and previously occupied homes are up from a year ago. Home prices have increased. And builders are more confident in the market and are responding by starting construction on more homes.
Lending Logic
Rising prices encourage more people to sell their homes. And they lead to more buying, in part because some start to worry prices could eventually rise further.
Lower mortgage rates also have persuaded more people to refinance. That typically leads to lower monthly mortgage payments and more spending. Consumer spending drives nearly 70% of economic activity.
Still, the housing market has a long way to a full recovery. And many people are unable to take advantage of the low rates, either because they can't qualify for stricter lending rules or they lack the money to meet larger down payment requirements.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 % of the loan amount.
The average fee for 30-year loans was 0.7 point, unchanged from last week. The fee for 15-year loans also was steady, at 0.6 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage declined to 2.53% from 2.55%. The fee for one-year adjustable-rate loans ticked up to 0.5 point from 0.4 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage rose to 2.70% from 2.69% last week. The fee was flat at 0.6 point.

The night was supposed to be relatively simple: get something to eat in Tell City, Indiana, then find a campsite in the Hoosier National Forest to the north. Where everything went wrong was, again, the timing. The sun has set earlier as I've gone east (figure that out, right?), so I underestimated my time and wound up hitting the national forest boundary well past dusk. Well past campground check-in and well past the time to find a dispersed camping site on my own. But is dispersed camping even possible in the Hoosier National Forest?
National forests east of the Mississippi are nothing like our national forests in the West. The national forest includes trees and some roads, but in between those trees and on those roads are lots and lots of houses. The houses only end for brief periods where the road dips into a less desirable, lower area. Maybe less desirable for only me though: I like higher areas because they get more of a breeze, have less bugs and have less wildlife.
Either way, that was a hellish night. Driving slowly on curvy, unfamiliar roads (which required that I stay alert for wildlife and other vehicles) and trying to generally fill up the hours of the night when hanging out is not socially acceptable. During that period, I ended up in Bloomington. I found myself at the front of the Indiana University main campus and decided that this was a good place to stop for a while and find my way. I also found that Bloomington's coffee shops do not open before 7am on Saturdays. It was 5:15. I wound through the campus - which is quite pretty - to the back parking lot of a museum. I sat for only about 5 minutes before a man wielding a leaf blower turned the corner and came toward me. As he got close, he turned the leaf blower off, set it down on the ground outside the door and went in. He emerged a second later with two cones and set them in two parking spaces next to mine, separated by two spaces. He said nothing and never looked at me. When he went back in, I started my car and left. Too weird.
I ended up at Waffle House. Not the Waffle House, mind you, as they don't have these in Indiana it seems. Instead, it's a locally-owned, 24-hour Denny's type place. Denny's is about what it is: bad food and overpriced, but they oddly have free wi-fi and my coffee was kept fresh. I was able to put around until about 7:05, when I moved to the current coffee shop, which features lots flies, thrift store seating and a bathroom that's got a height level set for oompah-loompah.
Wow, do I sound bitchy? I think I do, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from here. I don't think that anyone does well with 30 minutes of sleep, which I was able to squeeze in just before Bloomington and between my car going off and it getting too hot to sleep.
But salvation is just around the corner, as it's said. I've booked a hotel for tonight in Cincinnati. It cost me $59 with tax, but is a 3* and will hopefully have a comfy bed and good cable TV. That's all I want right now. Oh, and air-conditioning. I ended up wussing out most of yesterday evening and night and leaving the a/c on for the drive. It's hot, man. If you think it's just me, I would point out that the old men in the Waffle House were also telling stories about how hot it was. I think steering wheels were melting and lakes were rising up into steam, but I was only passively listening. Seriously though, it's hot out there, and I need to get out of it for a while.
Lightning was also off in the distance last night. I saw the weather pattern hanging up on an east-west band along I-70, but didn't expect to have to go far enough north to encounter it. And I really didn't: I just saw it threatening but never saw any drops.
What I did see what's lots of creepy stuff. The rural backroads of Indiana are some of the creepiest I've encountered. Part of the problem was the lack of a good map and adequate signage. My Rand McNally strangely shows more roads than my official Indiana highway map does. Yet nothing ever names the roads. It's like a New England conundrum: everyone there knows where the road goes, so why name it? At one point, I had twisted around so much on one road that I lost my sense of direction and knew not east from west. It's when you come to a T intersection that it's really tough. I spoke about this in another post, but I didn't mention the whole night driving side of it. This makes it virtually impossible. No direction, no landmarks, no other cars, no pavement markings, no discernible way toward a town.
My big question was: what the hell do these people living out there do? There were clusters of houses 20 miles from anything that could be considered a village even. How did they make their money? Where did they go during the day? Why did they choose to live out there?
Of course, I couldn't ask any of them this because, if you knock on a Hoosier's door at 3am, you're likely to get the "Hoosier" derivation, but also a rifle pointed at you. I'm not saying that Hoosiers are unreasonable, of course: this would happen almost everywhere in America.

THERE IS PROBABLY no greater controversy in medicine right now than the issue of screening for prostate cancer. It is debated at medical conferences and is the subject of conflicting guidelines to the point that doctors and patients alike are often at a loss to know what is the best strategy.
It seems so simple. Why wouldn't it be a good thing to screen for prostate cancer and catch it early? The answer lies in dozens of studies regarding cancer screening, some of which show that not all tests are actually beneficial.
The biggest controversy centers on the Prostate Specific Antigen or PSA test, which has been touted as a blood test that can pick up early prostate cancer. For years, all men between the ages of 50 and 80 were encouraged to get a yearly PSA and prostate exam to check for cancer. And the test seemed to work. Early detection of prostate cancer soared, and urologists were busy treating thousands upon thousands of men with prostate cancer.
But about 10 years ago, a number of researchers began questioning the value of what we were doing. Some even postulated that PSA screening was only picking up small, slow-growing cancers — tumors that would have never been clinically significant and would not have shortened the man's life at all. In essence, the PSA test was taking healthy men, turning them into cancer patients, subjecting them to surgery, radiation or hormone therapy, all with no improvement in their overall health.
This view was strengthened by large studies that showed that screening for prostate cancer had no effect on the overall death rate of men. Screening was not making them live longer. This was the gold standard for many guideline groups and thus the debate started, culminating in a strong statement from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in 2011 that recommended against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer. Coming from the most prestigious and authoritative guideline group in the world, the practice of many physicians immediately changed.
Each discipline of medicine has its national organization. For adult primary-care doctors, it is the American College of Physicians (ACP). The ACP endorsed last week the recommendation against PSA screening. It included the following statement: "Prostate cancer never becomes clinically significant in a patient's lifetime in a considerable proportion of men with prostate cancer detected with the PSA test. They will receive no benefit and are subject to substantial harms from the treatment of prostate cancer."
In other words, most men will live very happily even if they have a small prostate cancer tumor and subjecting them to aggressive treatment is of no value.
Of course, not every physician groups agrees with this stance. The American Urological Society still recommends screening for prostate cancer, starting in the 40s and extending until age 70. The American Cancer Society feels that early detection is valuable and PSA screening should be discussed at yearly visits.
Clouding all this is data from Europe that suggests that PSA screening done less frequently — perhaps every four years — does seem to save lives, especially as men are followed for a longer period of time. In Europe, doctors and patients are also more likely to watch elevated PSA tests under a protocol called "active surveillance" also known as "watchful waiting," in which men with low-grade cancers are watched carefully but not necessarily treated unless the cancer progresses. This process potentially allows urologists to distinguish low-risk cancers (that can be watched) from the high risk aggressive cancers (that can kill quickly and should be treated aggressively).
The rate of change of the PSA test (or "PSA velocity") is also an important determinant treatment or no treatment. This all assumes that men being screened with PSA tests are comfortable knowing they might be diagnosed with having a small cancer and may be told it is OK to just watch it.
My current approach is to discuss this with men between the ages of 50 and 70 and make sure we are on the same page. Some men want nothing to do with prostate cancer screening knowing the lack of benefit (most of my patients who are doctors feel this way), others want to continue screening with the understanding that an elevated PSA test is not a death sentence or even an indication that they have a disease.
The holy grail for prostate cancer screening is a test that someday can distinguishes high-grade, aggressive cancers from the low-grade "nuisance" cancers that are of no consequence. But while scientists work on that, we are left with what is available now, an imperfect test and controversy over how to use it.

Fly-fishing films focus on adventure
Sun., Jan. 27, 2013, midnight
Thirteen action-packed fly-fishing films featuring fish ranging from Idaho trout to whoppers in the European nation of Georgia are being packaged into a two-hour show coming to Spokane.
The 2013 Fly Fishing Film Tour is booked at the Bing Crosby Theater on Feb. 5 bringing new faces, such as two Boise angler-filmmakers with a new comic look at the sport. Also on board is a sequel to one of last year's show favorites. Doors open at 6 p.m.; films start at 7.
Tickets cost $15 on the Fly Fishing Film Tour website, but are available in advance for $13 at Spokane fly shops.
Viewers will get a sample of fishing in Alaska and across the United States from California to Maine. Featured fish species range from steelhead to snakefish.
Likely to get the most raves are a film about a tarpon/bonefish/billfish pack-in expedition to a remote Mexican reef and a jungle fishing adventure in Thailand.
Expect warm feelings from a sequel, "Hit 'em again, Doc," to last year's crowd-pleaser about a fishing guide leading an aging angler with Parkinson's disease to Idaho trout.
Spokane is in the second week of the Fly Fishing Film Tour scheduled for 150 shows across the country. Local conservation organizations often are involved as sponsors.
"Adventure is the focal point of the films in this year's tour," said Doug Powell, tour spokesman in Boulder, Colo.
Filmgoers also will enjoy a stunningly large and sharp new screen and state-of-the art digital projector installed at The Bing in November.

New idea.... Lets lists the reasons we do like panini.
Hey guys I wanted to make a list of the things we do like about Panini. Maybe someone somewhere within the organization will read this and take note. Hey we can dream.
I ask people to please be positive about panini in this thread.
I will start with a couple things.
1. Prizm has the feel of bowman chrome and topps chrome that we have been missing. The golds are all the craze right now and look awesome. The have also done a good job keeping the number of greens a secret in order to keep buyers on there goes.
2. HRX card is something that had never been done before. It's mixing cards and modern technology together.
Let's see some other people's ideas before I confine to ramble on.
b/c they are the only BBall card manufacturer around
Their Customer Service is outstanding.
I like redemption because I get free toploader and bubble mailer 12 months later.
Should have known there wouldn't be many reals answers....
tracy hackler has joined blowout, welcom
I think Panini has great player photographs on their cards and while they put out a lot of stuff, there are always some very nice sets they put out like Court Kings and Prizm
The Gold Prizm!
The NBA Uniforms on your card!
Free boxes!
Free cards
For the love of the cards! The true passion of collectors really collecting!
I like panini because they're trying to bring back the rare cards without the autos / jersey / gimmick nonsense. Yes, they have those too, but lately they have been producing case hits and 20 case hits that are not necessarily 1 inch think with patches and sticker autos - i.e. gold prizms, century stars (form the threads set), hall of fame contenders, pmg from totally certified.
[QUOTE=1eyed_jack;4024639]I think Panini has great player photographs on their cards and while they put out a lot of stuff, there are always some very nice sets they put out like Court Kings and Prizm[/QUOTE]
I did like court kinds when it came out.. Too bad they stopped making it. Prizm will be a featured product from here on out I assume..
National treasures is what I look forward to all season
Actually, for your 2 points,
1) Since we grumbled for so long, they FINALLY make something that looks like Chrome. I would say they actually could have done better with a couple more colors.
2) I think UD actually made the first video card in FB?
What I like?
1) I think their CS is better than UD and Topps in a way. At least they will honor expired redemptions with something.
2) Prizm is a nice start for listening to us.
3) we have no chioce, but we do get rookies in their NBA uni and their real RCs.
[QUOTE=hche;4024653]Actually, for your 2 points,
1) Since we grumbled for so long, they FINALLY make something that looks like Chrome. I would say they actually could have done better with a couple more colors.
2) I think UD actually made the first video card in FB?[/QUOTE]
I was not aware of that on football. Have any information on it? I think more colors would have watered down the product. Don't need sixteen colors like bowman or topps...that's exaggerating I know.
Not too sure if it's their original idea or they "copied" from another company, but I like Panini's "Private Signings" autograph cards.
Nice design. Clean space for autographs - all on-card (so far).

I agree. This seems to be a good debate point with people here, but I also love that there are not a lot of colored cards in prizm, and I actually really like that they aren't numbered either
I used to break their Hockey cards. If they used their DUFFEX technology on all these rare case hit non-auto-mem cards for Basketball, I think they would hit a home run.
In hand they really are great, and you can feel the card stock is special.
I have to say, if any of the companies was the exclusive we with byitch about them. So I think they do a pretty good job with providing different types of prodcuts and I think the Panini blog is more than UD or Topps ever did to keep me in the loop. Tracy even emailed me back today, I'm special!
I think through their forums they reach out to the collectors well and really try to listen to the consumers opinions and thoughts.
Also I like a lot of their patch sets; very low numbered (which overall is a good thing outside of the case busters) and great designs.
I like their nba hoops and I am glad they also are bringing back their panini base series. If I could make a suggestion also bring back adrenalyn xl. While I did not care for the game that much the cards were fun to collect.
I collect Football, so I have a choice to buy other product :devil:
Also, Panini helps make us appreciate Upper Deck.
Good fire starter Material.
Im a fan of big base sets. I like seeing 300 cards in a base set. Couple that with select paralells of the base set, makes for a great chase. Example of this is Prizm golds/green and a base set of 300.
This enacts more trading and chasing down of cards. If you look at the BST, we finally see a few collectors posting their needs to complete a "Base" set. When was the last time you saw this happend in basketball?
i like their jumbo patches!!!
although the design on most of them are terrible (tools of the trade, star gazing, etc)
they have a few nice sets like this one:
For everyone who complains about panini would you like to go back to 1988 when there was only 1 major manufacture for football (topps) and 1 major manufacture for basketbll (fleer)? Atleast with Panini you have a variety of products. Yes it would be nice if UD, Topps and others could offer basketbell products but they can't. There is no shortage at least for me of basketball cards that I can collect this year.
Keep the ideas coming. Nice to see some insight not just troll posts.

Kumar, S. K. S. and Zain, R. B. and Ismail, S. M. and Cheong, S. C. (2005) Human telomerase reverse transcriptase expression in oral carcinogenesis - A preliminary report. Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research, 24 (4). pp. 639-646. ISSN 0392-9078

Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), the catalytic subunit of telomerase, is strongly associated with telomerase activity implicated in cellular immortalization and tumorigenesis. In situ detection of hTERT will aid in determining the localization of telomerase positive cells. The aim of this study was to detect hTERT protein expression in multistep oral carcinogenesis using paraffin embedded tissue samples, and to study the relationship of hTERT expression with different histological stages in oral carcinogenesis. Normal (n=4), hyperplastic (n=4), dysplastic (n=4) and neoplastic (n=10) oral epithelia representing different histological stages in oral carcinogenesis were included in the study. hTERT protein detection was done by immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique. Nuclear staining intensities were noted and the hTERT-labelling index was determined. Dysplastic and neoplastic oral epithelia showed an increased percentage of hTERT positive cells (Grade 4: >50 positive staining nuclei) with intense staining in the basal, parabasal and superficial layers of the epithelia, unlike normal oral mucosa which showed intense staining only in the basal and parabasal cell layers, which are the normal proliferative progenitor compartments. hTERT protein expression was elevated with the corresponding advancement of the histological stages of oral carcinogenesis, from normal to hyperplasia to dysplasia to carcinoma. There seems to be an upregulation of hTERT protein expression during the progression of oral cancer, therefore, this may indicate the feasibility of IHC detection of hTERT protein in oral carcinogenesis as a potential diagnostic or prognostic marker.

David Cameron was told to "shut up" by broadcaster Andrew Marr during an appearance on the BBC yesterday.
As the Andrew Marr Show drew to a close yesterday, the Prime Minister was interrupted by the presenter as he tried to discuss the schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram Islamist group in Nigeria.
Footage published online shows Marr appearing to say: "I, I…Prime Minister shut up I'm afraid. I'm really, really sorry, we have run out of time."
But instead of the interruption sparking the Prime Minister's fury, Mr Cameron obeyed, hurriedly replying: "I've gone on, sorry."
His appearance on the show was a major date for the Conservatives as they look to close the gap on Ukip ahead of this month's European elections.

NOW – Cuts to be made: The Giants already had to make a cut, but Zito will add a second one. The Giants 40 man roster was unofficially filled with the Giants agreed to terms with Barry Bonds; the signings of Zito and Ryan Klesko have put the Giants over the top. The cuts haven't been made since the Bonds and Zito contracts haven't been finalized yet, but they will have to be made soon. Two players currently on the Giants 40-Man roster will be let go.
So who will it be? One could be oft-injured pitching prospect Kelyn Acosta. Other older former prospects who haven't earned consistent playing time and are out of options, like first baseman Lance Niekro and outfielder Jason Ellison are prime candidates. Catcher Justin Knoedler would be a risky cut, leaving the team without three healthy catchers on the roster, with Mike Matheny unlikely to ever return. The Giants remain hamstrung by having two players on the 40-Man roster who will not play in 2007; Matheny and injured prospect Merkin Valdez. Both will be eligible to be put on the 60-Day Disabled List and be replaced on the roster, but not until after Spring Training. That prevents the Giants from replacing their absence easily in advance.
SPRING TRAINING 2007 – No options, with two options: Kevin Correia and Brad Hennessey both have run out of minor league options, so if they aren't on the major league roster in 2007, they will have to be waived and probably lost. Both pitchers have teased being able to be starters in the past, but neither has been consistently effective. With Zito, the Giants are reduced to one rotation spot open, and Correia, Hennessey and hot prospect Jonathan Sanchez are up for the role. Will either Hennessey or Correia get that role? If not, can they find homes in the bullpen? If Sanchez wins the starter job, could both even fit in the bullpen?
JUNE 2007 – Hurry up, and wait: Before signing Zito, the Giants had already locked in 6 picks in the first 61 picks in the 2007 draft, but had also lost their second and third round picks for signing other free agents to make up for extreme personnel change. While Zito will officially earn the Oakland Athletics the Giants second round pick, his signing effectively mean the Giants will also lose their fourth round pick.
While the Giants will be able to draft many impact players with 6 very early picks, the lack of mid-round picks provides an intriguing situation for the Giants. With a wait of more than 100 players between their 6th and 7th overall picks, will they risk having a player they really like, but not as a first rounder, being passed on by every other team in baseball at least three times over, or will they overdraft to ensure getting a player they want?
JULY 2007 – Deadlines, always full of life: As the trade deadline approaches, can the Giants afford to buy? Can they sell? The aforementioned blockage of starters makes for an intriguing group of players that can be traded. Will they trade a veteran like Morris or Lowry for prospects, particularly hitters? Or will young pitchers like Sanchez, Correia and Hennessey earn their shots elsewhere as the Giants trade off excess young pitching?
OFFSEASON 2007-8 – The next big contract, or is there one? This offseason's market was not a good one for hitters, generally speaking, but the next offseason has been expected to be a great one for hitters. Although one of the most sought-after hitters, Vernon Wells, has already signed an extension with his current team, the market will still include outfielders Bobby Abreu, Milton Bradley, Mike Cameron, Jose Guillen, Geoff Jenkins, Andruw Jones, Ichiro Suzuki, as well as first baseman Sean Casey and shortstop Michael Young. That doesn't include a pretty solid pitching class that includes closer Joe Nathan, and a certain starting pitcher (see next item). But can the Giants play ball with them?
A number of Giants will be coming off the books after 2007, including Barry Bonds, Pedro Feliz, Omar Vizquel, Armando Benitez, Mike Matheny, Mark Sweeney and Tim Worrell. But while that looks like a lot of money, backloaded contracts could bite the Giants. Benitez, Bonds and Vizquel all already had deferred money to be paid in 2008, and reports indicate that the Giants will defer much of Bonds' money this year to 2008. It's also been reported that the Giants have arranged with Zito for his first year to be for less money, indicating that he'll get a substantial raise in 2008. Can the Giants afford to sign a hitter, especially after losing Bonds (probably for real next time)?
OFFSEASON 2007-8 – The Next Big Thing: The starting pitching market has some decent names, but one stands out. Carlos Zambrano will turn 27 just before the 2008 season, and he could be on a new team. He may not have won a Cy Young award yet, but he's got a career 3.29 ERA and has struck out over 200 each of the past two years. Can Zambrano get 8 guaranteed years? In a market where he is head and shoulders above the rest of the possible acquisitions, he could get whatever he wants.
SPRING TRAINING 2008 – Roadblocks: If the possible glut of pitching choices could cause problems in 2007, 2008 could be a real problem. Cain will be there. It's Morris' final year of his contract. Lowry will be there if he's not traded. And, of course, Zito will be there. So who will be #5? Correia and Hennessey could still be options, but the concern is with two high-ceiling prospects. Sanchez could be in the rotation to start 2007, but is likely to truly be ready by 2008. And then there's Tim Lincecum, who is also very likely to be ready in 2008. Both these guys are players who deserve chances, and a hard decision about who to keep, between them and the existing pitchers, will have to be made.
OFFSEASON 2008-9 – As Good As It Gets: He'll be 30, he hasn't had an ERA over 3.10 since 2001, and he's had 230+ strikeouts each of the last three years with low walks. There is no young pitcher as highly regarded as Johan Santana. In only 2 years, he'll be a free agent, and while he might not break the 7 year mark on a deal being 30 at the time of this deal, he could make more than $20 million a year.
OFFSEASON 2008-9 – As Good As Giants Prospects Get: Johan Santana may get the biggest deal, perhaps ever, but the Giants will have one big deal of their own to make a decision on. Matt Cain will be eligible for arbitration at this point, and he could've already become an ace by this point. If he is, the measuring stick of his worth may be the pitcher many feel is only a very good #2 pitcher in Zito. This is the point in careers that many teams consider giving multiple year deals to avoid arbitration (such as the Giants gave Lowry), and the deal the Giants give Cain could set the bar for more deals in the future, like Sanchez and Lincecum, who will likely be eligible for arbitration in the subsequent two years.2011-2013 – Zito the Old Man: Okay, maybe not old, but he'll be reaching his mid-30's, and he'll be making more than $15M a year. Will his fastball be effective at this point in his career? Will his health have held up over the years? Whether or not he is still a top pitcher at this point will go a long ways towards determining whether this deal is a good one or not, and whether or not this money is spent towards a truly competitive team.

We have many customers who come to us under the impression that their Accidental Death Policy they purchased is an all cause life insurance, which it is not. A lot of people own these type of policies but are unaware of their limited payout. I personally blame the broker who sold the policy without properly educating the consumer on the big difference. There is more than few big agencies that sell these policies since it is easy to place and faster to get paid.
To understand the difference let's define each type.
Life Insurance Policy
Is an agreement between you and the insurance company that promises to pay the listed beneficiaries a large sum of money in exchange for a premium in an event of death. Life insurance will cover all causes of death except for suicide(which can be contested in the first two years only). Regular life insurance policies will in most cases require a medical exam and underwriting which can take between 48 hours to a few weeks. There are how ever companies that offer no medical exam options with quicker underwriting.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment Policy(ADD).
The company will only pay out a lump sum in the event that you die due to an accident. Also there is a partial benefit payout for a loss of one or more limbs. Please be aware that if your death is due to an illness or natural death there will be no payout. This type of coverage can be acquired with no exam and no underwriting for same day effective date. Since this coverage is a limited form of life insurance the monthly premiums are reduced. Accidental death can be added as a rider to a traditional life insurance plan to pay out double death benefit in loss of life due to an accident(aka double indemnity).
Both types of plans have their place for consumers but the key is to be aware and not be misled. We typically only recommend an accidental coverage if a person can't get anything else due to an uninsurable condition or to add to an existing term life insurance plan that they have. This is very important topic because it can be a difference between a child receiving a lump sum to not getting a dime because their parent passed away from an illness and not an accident.
Not sure what type of policy you need? Call us for any questions at 888-492-1967 or get an instant quote online.

UMD or Download version? If it's the Download version, just delete the game data from your PSP (do NOT delete your saved games) and redownload. If it's the UMD version, contact Sony. Not much else you can do.

UHERO research programs address many of the key policy challenges facing Hawai'i and the Asia Pacific Region
UHERO research covers a wide array of topics, areas of academic inquiry, and policy challenges. Much of this research falls within one of these broad focus areas:
UHERO research on Hawaii's economy provides vital information and analysis on the local economy and cutting-edge analysis of pressing policy issues. The Forecast Project produces multi-year forecasts for the Hawaii economy, major external economies, and the four counties, with analysis of key developments and emerging trends. The Data Portal is a one-stop shop for relevant economic data. UHERO researchers also conduct applied research in areas such as forecasting technique, evaluation the tax and expenditure programs, and the impact of events such as the 9/11 terror attacks.
The research group applies formal economic analysis to the study of Hawaii's key environmental issues, such as pollution control, water allocation and pricing, and control of invasive species. Specific applications have included characterizing the optimal joint management of a watershed and its downstream groundwater aquifer, assessing the economic benefits of environmental resource conservation, designing policies for the control of Miconia calvescens and the Brown Tree Snake, and developing methods for measuring sustainable development.
Our researchers undertake projects to assess the conditions affecting workers and residents in Hawaii and Pacific Asia. Focused largely on the microeconomics of health, education and the effectiveness of labor markets, research has addressed topics ranging from the problem of the medically underinsured to the role of state funding of higher education, and the economic impact of the University of Hawaii.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › 3 new test videos: Sierra Designs DriDown vs. untreated down
Mar 20, 2013 at 6:27 am #1300682
Craig DelgerMember
I just uploaded 3 new videos where we cut open a baffle on a brand new Sierra Designs Gnar jacket and test their DriDown against untreated down.
Video #1: Steam Chamber Test
Video #2: Recovery Test
Video #3: Agitation In Direct Contact With Water Test
We were unable to see any significant advantage of DriDown vs. untreated down. We are finding this all very interesting.
I have a couple more ideas for tests, but welcome any ideas any members of BPL have. We will attempt to reach out to Sierra Designs again to see what they think, and we are attempting to get products to test from the other producers of hydrophobic down.
I am traveling over the next 5 days, but will check in periodically.

Thanks for the time and money put into these.
So basically what I'm seeing is that they have improved the down (according to the marketing spiel). What that means is that down has a bare minimum resistance to water and humidity and they've changed bare minimum to just a minimum of resistance.
In other words the bar was really low already so any improvement looks like a huge gain but still hasn't hit a noticeably better product from a functional stance.
It's like claiming that that 10 sheets of paper make a much better stepping stool than 1 sheet of paper.Mar 20, 2013 at 9:19 am #1967811

I think the steam test is completely inconclusive. If you added a disk with holes in it to each tube, the weight of the disk would probably start compressing the down as it starts to fail. I think that would allow you to better determine which one starts falling first.
That being said, I applaud you for attempting to do some meaningful testing on this material!Mar 20, 2013 at 9:55 am #1967823

I am usually all for making things more scientific and controlled so I really dig what you guys have done here. I remember reading a few articles on BPL where the staff made some franken-shirts by cutting two shirts in half and then sewing the two halves of the different shirts together. If my memory serves my correctly, it was to compare wool and synthetic. This methodology makes direct comparison in real world conditions really easy to do. I think you should do the same. Make a coat with one-side dri-down and the other regular. I would bet it should not even be too hard to find an old style gnar jacket so the match well. You could go hiking or climbing and see if you notice any differences or just wear it while running on a treadmill to see if you notice any differences in its ability to handle sweat.

Brilliant idea to try and reproduce some of their results! Very interesting to see:D. I think the steam test was a nice idea and well thought out. I think though that the tests could maybe be improved upon.
-First you did not weigh the amounts of down being tested. From the video it seemed to me that there was perhaps more of the untreated down. I could see that there were large air pockets in the treated down test sample whereas the untreated down seemed to be more evenly spread out in the container.
I think the submersion test may have been a bit unfair for two main reasons:
-It seemed as if the untreated down was in more of a clump (it seemed to cling together more) whereas the treated it seemed as if the plumes were more inclined to separate). This may have meant that when you agitated the containers, the treated down would have been less able to resist submersion in water.
-secondly the hourglass movement used by each of the testers was not the same. It seemed that the treated down was actually turned a lot more vigorously than the untreated.
If you were to repeat the test perhaps you could try to ensure that the test conditions are the same for each down. You could weigh each sample and also measure the volume which each weight of down takes up. This would also allow you to work out a rough measurement of each down's loft rating. The fill power rating is a measurement of the spatial displacement in cubic inches per one ounce of down. For example one ounce of 800 fill power down would take up 800 cubic inches in volume (I'm no expert here so please anyone correct me if I am wrong here!).
It would also be a very interesting experiment if you were to weigh both samples of down before submersion in water, then say shake both containers (same experimenter must shake both samples for fairness) for 30 secs, and leave them for 20 minutes. Then you could pour the water off and weigh the samples again. This would tell you a how much water each sample of down has absorbed in 20 minutes per weight of down tested. Then leave them both to dry out measuring their weight every 15 mins. This would allow you to plot a graph showing the amount of water left in each sample as a function of drying time. Hopefully the graph would show that the treated down dries faster than untreated.
All in all really glad that you took the time (and money) to do an independent test of the two down types. Anyways thanks again for posting the videos on here. I really look forward to seeing some more tests if you get chance. Good luck guys!Mar 20, 2013 at 10:50 am #1967854

@danepackerLocale: Mojave Desert
Yep, I'd love to see Patgonia's Encapsil treated down tested but unfortunately it's currently only found in their $700. "Belay" down parka. Mon Dieu!
But Patagucci claims this Encapsil treatment INCREASES 800 fill down to 1000 fill. That in itself is amazing. The story is that at some point in their proprietary treatment they use radio waves (not mirrors and magnets, at least) to better apply the Encapsil DWR to the down.
P.S. I guess if this treatmens is really superior to other down DWR treatments I'd pay an extra $100. for an Encapsil treated bag and $50. more for a down jacket.
We all know most gear companies charge "what the market will bear". We'll see how many line up to pay $700. for a down parka with good down DWR.Apr 16, 2013 at 10:21 am #1977289

A quick update if you are interested. Brad and I flew down to visit with Sierra Designs about how they test DriDown and they allowed us to video tape our meeting with them. The video is 4 parts and runs about 45 minutes, but there is a lot of great information that they shared if you have time to watch it all.
We are going to start some field tests of DriDown, and we are also going to be looking at some of the other solutions on the market. We are learning a great deal about the hydrophobic down space from all of this.

Carved stone earplugs....
I never had a bee fly in my ear, but I have had a fly in my ear. I had a friend who had a june bug in his ear. I can understand why.
When I was younger and with my dad at one of his bee yards, I did have a bee get in my ear. My first instinct was aaaaahhhhhhh. Then I got stung. My face got swollen and I got to miss several days of school. My Dad still laughs about that. He said people surely heard me for miles away.
I'm guessing my first instinct would be to get it out at all costs, but probably the smart thing would be to stay calm and hope it comes back out on it's own without stinging.
I think I'd want some FGMO handy!
FGMO. Sounds like the tool for the job.
Is it true that clay drying on a sting will draw out the venom?
How about vinagre/baking soda, or othr pH alterations to denature the venom enzyme/ protein?
What do you do if you get stung?
Brian Cady
>Is it true that clay drying on a sting will draw out the venom?
Yes, but its a bit slow at it.
>How about vinagre/baking soda, or othr pH alterations to denature the venom enzyme/ protein?
They all help a bit.
>What do you do if you get stung?
First I scrape out the stinger with my fingernail or a knife, if I can reach it.
My remedies in order of preference depending on what is available:
Plantain. There is probably some of this growing somewhere in your yard. Especially in high traffic areas. Pick a green leaf and rub it between your fingers to get the juice out. It is always pretty dry if you can't get any juice, you can chew it a little. Put it on the sting as a poltice or just rub the juice on it. This is the best and the relief is immediate.
Tobacco. Take a bit of tobacco and add some saliva and make a poultice. It will draw out the poison.
Asprin. Take an asprin and bite it and add some saliva and make a poultice. This will neutralize and draw out the poison.
A cotton ball soaked with ammonia will take the sting out in just a few minutes.
I have taken to leaving the stinger in and not applying anything, at least for a few hours. Don't know if I am increasing my sensitivity or building resistance, but I think they hurt a lot less after the initial insult.
I do use a little liquid benadryl lotion later for the swelling.

In my late 40's with my two upper incisors that are slanted over my front teeth. and a bit of crowding on my lower jaw. My ortho has said that it will take 102 weeks- 3 weeks for each set of trays ( he doesn't think 2 weeks is sufficient for adult teeth). My back molar has had a crack in it and been filled about 4 years ago. I'm worried sick about the pain of this invisalign process for 102 weeks and the possibility of the molar cracking open with the movement. Would clear braces be better?
Invisalign? Braces? How Painful? Sooo Confused, What Is My Best Option?
Doctor Answers 4
Invisalign vs Braces
I'm sure there is a reason why your dentist is recommending 3 weeks for Invisalign, however even for adults generally 2 weeks is sufficient. As far as discomfort, it is often the case that Invisalign is more comfortable given that only a certain amount of movement is prescribed by each aligner and the movements are very controlled. It is unlikely that your molar with a crack in it will be a problem, unless the crack is into the root, in which case it will fail regardless of orthodontic treatment, so not really a concern from that point.
Invisalign? Braces? How Painful? Sooo Confused, What Is the Best Option?
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you achieve the confident smile that you've always wanted. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth. Sure, there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but none offers the level of comfort, convenience and confidence that you'll find with Invisalign. And no matter what stage you're at in life, you'll appreciate how our cutting-edge approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself
Invisalign vs Braces: Which is Less Painful?
You ask some very good questions. If your dentist is recommending three weeks of Invisalign wear per tray he could be using another product other than Invisalign. There are other clear aligners on the market and at least one of them recommends three weeks of aligner wear instead of the traditional two weeks recommended by Invisalign. Both aligner systems work well.
I personally was treated with clear aligner therapy and the only discomfort I ever felt was the first day or two after insertion of a new aligner and ONLY in the lower anterior teeth. I was treated when I was in my 40's.
The likelihood of aligner therapy causing a cracked tooth to "crack open" is extremely unlikely; and in fact, could well help prevent a cracked tooth from breaking down further. It is also highly likely that your treatment plan may not even move back teeth but only the front teeth.
Braces are still a great option but the downside, especially for adults, is that the whole world knows you're straightening your teeth. They are less hygienic than clear aligner therapy and while not painful are significantly less comfortable than clear aligners.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
You might also like...
Second opinions are good
Every doctor has their own methods and preferences. 3 weeks per tray is not unheard of, but not what is taught by Invisalign. It is not wrong, but may not be necessary.
Clear braces are certainly another option and may be more predictable with less time involved. Without seeing you, I wouldn't know.
There will be tenderness with any form of tooth movement, there is no way around it. Most people report that it isn't very much and would not let that stand in their way of treatment.
Your molar will crack or not, no matter what you do or do not do. Odds are it won't.

Yesterday was Kristen's weekly clinic appointment. She had a much better week so I was expecting some good blood counts and good blood counts she had. Her numbers looked great.
In fact her nurse practitioner said,
"she's perfect."
I already knew that.
Here's the deal with her bone marrow results from last week. We were hoping that she would be 100% doner, which means that her brothers bone marrow has completely taken over and her bone marrow is gone. We didn't get the 100% we were hoping for. Her bone marrow came in at 95% donor and 5% her own. That means that we have to worry about that 5% wanting to make those disgusting leukemia cells.
But wait... Now we begin to taper her immunosuppressant drugs, hopefully this will allow her brothers bone marrow to explode and wipe hers out. So we still have a chance at the 100%. That being said, now as we taper the drugs, Graft verses Host Disease (GVHD) has a chance of showing up. So we are on high alert and watching for signs. I understand that if she has problems with GVHD she will be hospitalized until the docs can get things under control. A little GVHD is kinda good, because it will also fight any leukemia cells that choose to make an appearance. So the next few months will be interesting.
Usually on Memorial Weekend we spend time with my parents going to several cemeteries, some a couple of hours away and placing flowers on the graves of grandparents.
This year things are different.
Instead of spending the weekend with my father, we are decorating his grave. I was thankful that Kristen was feeling well enough to go out for a couple of hours today.

The LSU Tigers are ready to erase the memory of the 2012 BCS National Championship beat down. The Tigers return 13 starters from last years 13-1 squad.
Les Miles only knows one way to play: smash mouth football. The Tigers have a new quarterback under center this season in junior, Zach Mettenberger. Mettenberger has a very strong arm and has very good accuracy. The one knock on Mettenberger is he is not that mobile and has slow feet in the pocket. Expect LSU to depend heavily on their boatload of talented running backs to make Mettenberger's job easier.
Spencer Ware and Michael Ford both had good freshman campaigns last season. Ware rushed for 707 yards and eight TD's. Ford rushed for 756 yards and seven touchdowns. LSU might be the deepest team at the running back position. Junior tailback, Alfred Blue, rushed for 539 yards and seven touchdowns last year. Sophomore running back, Kenny Hilliard rushed for over 300 yards and eight touchdowns.
Mettenberger is one happy man because he has four talented running backs he can give the rock to that will take a lot of pressure off of his shoulders.
LSU brings back three returning starters on the offensive line, and should be as dominant as they were last season. Alex Hurst and Chris Faulk are two of the best offensive linemen in the country.
The Tiger's bread and butter is their defense. Tyrann Mathieu is one of the best football players in the country. Mathieu, A.K.A. "The Honey Badger" finished fifth in the Heisman voting last year and took home the Chuck Bednarik award as a true sophomore. He is an absolute ball hawk and one of the best punt returners in the country. Mathieu had two interceptions, 11 pass break-ups, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, two defensive TD's, and two punt return TD's averaging over 17 yards/return last season. He will be expected to lead the way for one of the best defenses in the nation.
Sam Montgomery is a monster on the defensive line and is one of the best in the nation. Last year, he led the Tigers with nine sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Expect him to contend to for the Ted Hendricks award, which is given to the top defensive lineman in the nation.
LSU lost some talent on defense, Morris Claiborne and Michael Brockers were both selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Brandon Taylor and Ron Brooks both heard their names called later in the draft. LSU has been one of the best teams in the nation in replacing talent with even better talent.

I knew that the best way to market my apartment complex was by hiring a company that does this every single day. I have my own talents, but marketing is not one of them. I can fix an electrical problem like an expert, but I cannot put together a marketing idea to save my life. That is why I went online and did a search for apartment complex marketing ideas. I was not looking to get ideas to do on my own. Rather, I wanted to find a company that would be able to handle this aspect for me.
It did not take me long to find a marketing company that exclusively handles apartment complexes like my own. That made me feel even better about hiring them to help me with mine. I know that if I want a cake, I always go to the bakery that is on the corner. I don't go to the supermarket where they offer thousands of items, because I want the corner bakery that exclusively handles pastries and cakes. Continue reading →

The manager Matthew was very helpful and courteous when it came to our needs, I actually met him while renting a Uhaul at a different location and he recommended us, he allowed me to use his computer and set up my reservation and told me that he wasn't in the office that day but I could check in using the kiosk and if I had any trouble at all I could call his cell phone to help me assist. I did indeed have to call him as the gate codes the kiosk spit out don't work for the gate, he immediately assigned me a temporary code and I was able to get in. Great job Matthew because of you I will be spreading the word to my friends and family.
