Labor unions enthusiastically backed the Obama administration's health-care overhaul when it was up for debate. Now that the law is rolling out, some are turning sour.
Union leaders say many of the law's requirements will drive up the costs for their health-care plans and make unionized workers less competitive. Among other things, the law eliminates the caps on medical benefits and prescription drugs used as cost-containment measures in many health-care plans. It also allows children to stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26.
To offset that, the nation's largest labor groups want their lower-paid members to be able to get federal insurance subsidies while remaining on their plans. In the law, these subsidies were designed only for low-income workers without employer coverage as a way to help them buy private insurance.
In early talks, the Obama administration dismissed the idea of applying the subsidies to people in union-sponsored plans, according to officials from the trade group, the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans, that represents these insurance plans. Contacted for this article, Obama administration officials said the issue is subject to regulations still being written.

Into the Deep
eBook (PDF), 230 Pages
Price: $5.99
No one understands the fury of the ocean like Zoey. Ten years ago, she lost her leg in a shark attack and she has yet to accept her prosthetic limb. She ventures to a bonfire at the beach, mesmerized by the ooean's power, until a wave sweeps her into the salty water. Zoey believed mermaids were creatures of legend, but it's hard to ignore the tail that's suddenly appeared, or the sense of finally being whole. She abandons her life on land for the sea, searching for who she really is. What she discovers is a kingdom as well as a royal father she never knew existed. Settling into her role as a mermaid princess, she learns her family is under attack. Raging storms threatening coastal cities, and sea levels rise, endangering the lives of everyone she loves. Determined to stop the strange phenomena, Zoey becomes caught up in the race to track down what, or who, is responsible for the catastrophic events. But, Zoey possesses another secret, one born of legend and more powerful... More > than any mer or human can imagine.< Less

Hey team!
- Spring break is right around the corner and i have gotten some questions on what we will be doing.
- We will finish out this current week with our Thursday and Friday practices. I want you all to really try and make it out to the Friday morning practice!!
- As for the week of spring break, we will not have any organized training. You all can certainly contact each other and plan some workouts. You also need to train on your own!! It is so important to keep building on what we have done so far. Spring break is notorious for erasing a whole lot of hard work! So please, do not let that happen to you. Get out there and DO WORK! :)
Have an awesome spring break, train hard, I will miss all of your beautiful faces, and can't wait to see you starting Monday the 7th.

P.S. If you haven't already, Email Spencer to tell him you're going to the Tri Clinic and that you are going to race, it's going to be awesome!
Hey team,
Remember if you haven't done so already, I need to hear back from you about the following events.
Spring Clinic: Just need a yes or no
DT Columbia Sprint Tri: Need a yes or no: if yes, please send me the registration form with all your info.
Collegiate Nationals: Need a yes or no: if yes, register to become a USAT member TODAY: if not the olympic distance, are you racing in the spring
Call me with any questions!
I look forward to swimming with you guys on Wednesday at 7 am. Since I'll be leading the workout and swimming with you, I wanted to send you all a note to help things go smoothly...
The official workout will not start until 7:20. Please, use the first 20 minutes to warm up on your own. Stretch, swim, kick, pull, skull, whatever wakes you up and gets your heart and body going. It serves 2 purposes: if you are a few minutes late, no big deal! and it's important to know how to warm yourself up for a workout/race.
As far as the workout, it'll be divided in 2 parts. One focused on form/drills and another on fitness (i.e. endurance, speed). If you have any questions or concerns, let me know!
See you at the pool! ~Kimberly
Please note! The practice schedule is now updated and available for view!!
PLEASE if you do not access the site on a regular basis, WRITE THIS DOWN!!!
Also note that our first race is posted for march 27th.

We will be discussing everything you need to know for the upcoming season!
Bring your swimming gear :)
The Hickory Knob Sprint and International Distance Triathlons take place in the Hickory Knob State Park Resort, perhaps the most beautiful of all South Carolina Parks. Athletes have the ability to stay in the park lodge rooms just feet from the transition area and finish line. Held in McCormick, SC, Hickory Knob is just a short drive from Atlanta, GA and nearly all of South Carolina.
The swim is a clockwise triangular course with wetsuits always being allowed. Water temperatures normally range between 70 and 73 degrees for this in water start. Depending on the wind there may be a light to moderate chop with little to no current. A very steep climb out of the lake greets athletes after the swim.
The bike is long and tough, as the event returns to the original 28 mile, one loop course. With the steepest grades being found in the first 3 miles the course flattens out to rolling hills throughout the rest of the bike. A water bottle hand-off can be found at mile 16. Turns are marked with pavement arrows and directional signs. Police and volunteers man all intersections.
The run is an out and back 10k course. Perhaps the toughest run in the GTS SCTS, the Hickory Knob course winds past the golf course and up and down a series of very steep grades before leveling out near the campground. Then it is around the turn around point to finish with a gradual ascent to the finish line.
The Hickory Knob International event is part of the USAT Southeast Collegiate Championship Series as collegiate teams from all across the southeast come to test their skills at this formidable season ender.
A SPRINT DISTANCE triathlon is also offered at this event.
For those of you who want to race in the collegiate devision (olympic distance) PLEASE let me know ASAP!!
For those of you who feel they are not quite ready for the olympic but still want to race, you can sign up for the sprint distance!! again PLEASE let me know!!!

Giorgio Armani Womenswear SS13
The multiple facets of an Italian icon
- PhotographyLuca Campri
- TextDean Mayo Davies
For all the talk of Giorgio Armani being a minimalist precursor in the 80s, softening the lines of tailoring and purifying, he is also a designer with a wilfully eccentric side.
That was celebrated in a Milan exhibition launched at the same time as his SS13 collection, with jewel-like scarabs, beetles, fish, crabs, butterflies, dolphins and birds gleaming from brooches to buckles, alongside idiosyncrasies of proportion and pattern through dresses and tailoring.
In a further focus on the multifaceted this evening, his new collection was titled Kaleidoscope. On the catwalk, light shimmered with rhinestone-studded heels, crystals and reflection over black, turquoise and grey. With a constellation of stars on navy blue for evening.

For all my friends back in New Orleans - Guten Tag! I miss you all and I am very pleased to write this review to thank you for helping me with my thesis about disaster recovery. You are doing a wonderful job and I am proud to have studied with you. Thank you for letting me observe your work and for taking the time to help me understand what a disaster Katrina was and continues to be. You are to be commended for your ongoing efforts to help those who are still struggling to recover.
Hey guys, greetings from Chicago and glad to write a review to help you all. The Community Center helped my family so much back in 2006 and 2007 when we were trying to get FEMA and Road Home to work with us to get our house gutted and rebuilt. I don't know what we would have done without the computer lab and the free phones and faxing and the legal aid you all had there. I'm in Chicago now finishing up my degree in pre-med and I hope to get into Tulane med school so I'll be back in NOLA next year this time. And I'll probably come by with my sister to volunteer at the toy give away in December so I'll see you then. Thanks again for everything that you have done ever since Katrina.
Love the community center. Hate this website that lost my review so I have to retype it. But the Center is doing good work so I'm willing to try again. Anyway I worked there for week during alternative spring break and the center was almost overwhelmed to the point that some people had to stand in the waiting area because there was no room. But the staff do a great job in spite of being short-handed and they really care so if you are in NOLA and you want to make a difference go there and help for a day. They need the help and you will really know that you've done something that made a difference. Not just a slogan, but for real.
Nice people doing a great job to help families that are disabled or elderly or unemployed. Shame that the local council member there couldn't care less and has such a not-in-my-backyard attitude. But he's a Have so why should he care about the Have-Nots. Anyway this is a great group who do good work in spite of no support and sometimes active antagonism. Keep the faith!
Every winter during semester break I always go to visit my family in New Orleans and we speand a day at the Community Center helping with the food pantry. It is always a fun time. We love the Community Center staff who are mainly volunteers who do this every day just because people need help. They are really inspiring. If you are in New Orleans, be sure to check them out if you have some free time and want to make it mean something.
Thanks for your email and I am glad to write a recommendation for you. It was a very good experience for our youth group to help others at your facility during our spring break this year. So many times we send donations but we never really get to know the people we help. Having the chance to meet the people that benefit from our donations was a very moving experience and hopefully it will inspire the younger members of our team to make service an important part of their lives going forward. God Bless You again for all that you do. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you.
I went down after hurricane Isaac last month. It was great to be able to do something to help. I helped pass out emergency boxes of food for the food pantry and listened to people's stories. They are so brave to keep coming back after everything that has happened to them and I am very glad I was able to do something to help.
My church group went down last year and we helped give out toys for the children at Christmas and it was a lot of fun and the kids were so happy. I hope we can do it again this year.
I work with them every week in the clothing bank. It is really nice to see how we help people who are having problems because they lost their jobs or they are sick or they had a disaster. I am very glad to help here.

Dads, have you ever noticed that you were gaining weight along with your partner's pregnancy? Do you find yourself feel queasy at certain times of the day? Have you experienced appetite changes? Have you notice an increase in the amount of flatulence you experience? Then you may be experiencing sympathetic pregnancy symptoms, also known as Couvade Syndrome.

What is Couvade Syndrome?

Couvade comes from the French word couvee meaning "to hatch." It has come to mean a man having a "sympathetic pregnancy." Yes, this means that your partner could start to vomit, gain weight, and have many of the "joys" associated with pregnancy.

Generally, sympathetic pregnancy symptoms begin in the end of the first trimester and increases in severity until the third trimester. The only known cure for couvade is to birth.

Doubting the Dads?

Some people have doubted the reality of couvade syndrome. These doubters say that the weight gain that the father may experience is caused by the eating habits of the mother, nerves, or other changes that pregnancy makes in one's life. The vomiting? Of course, that is blamed on nerves, too.

What do the dads have to say about this? They don't know what to think about vomiting, weight gain, and changes in sexual appetite. How can you tell everyone at work that you need to lie down because you have morning sickness?!? And, of course, they would stop vomiting if they could.

"All I know is that once she started feeling better, I started falling apart," remember Kevin, dad to four. "Her morning sickness would subside and I would get the flu. I always assumed I was just run down. It wasn't a bad flu, I'd feel light headed and vomit, but as the day wore on I felt better, but it was like this for several weeks. One of my friends finally said: 'Dude, you've got morning sickness!' Sure enough, once I realized that it went away and didn't come back. I wish I could say the same for the weight gain."

The Research on Sympathetic Pregnancy

This is something that has been researched and found to be quite real. Some men are more susceptible to couvade than others. For instance, if you and your partner have experienced infertility or if you were adopted, you could be more likely to experience couvade syndrome. There is no research going on at this point with same-sex partners, but that could change in the future.

The truth is we probably won't see a lot of research on this general topic for a variety of reasons including that it is not taken seriously by many people. Sometimes the partners who are experiencing this don't even notice - they assume it's just normal or they think that it is not related to pregnancy at all. (How long can you have the flu?)

So, people, know that you are not alone and that you have the medical community backing you up. Eat some crackers, get out of bed slowly, drink some ginger tea, and try to get a bit of rest and know that birth is right around the corner. Don't let anyone laugh at you when you say you're gaining weight and maybe get some new clothes because you've outgrown the others.

Realistically, all you can is to treat the symptoms with the help of your own practitioner. This can be helpful for some people. Many people will feel better as the pregnancy progresses, which is often a welcome relief for people at any point.

Sri Lanka to offer more oil and gas exploration licences
Tue, Feb 26, 2013, 02:17 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Feb 26 (Reuters) COLOMBO- Sri Lanka is set to offer a second batch of licences to explore for oil and gas, as it looks to start production in the country and ease its dependence on imported fuel.
The government said on Tuesday that it would invite companies to bid for licences on some of the 13 blocks in the Cauvery and Mannar Basins off the nation's northwest coast.
It added that details on the number of blocks would be announced shortly and that it would launch a roadshow for the process on March 7 in Houston, Texas, before moving on to London and Singapore.
The step comes after Cairn India, the only firm to buy a licence in an earlier offering, kicked off the second part of its exploration programme early this month, following the discovery of gas and condensate in the first phase.
Since the end of a three-decade war with Tamil separatists in May 2009, the government has tried to reinvigorate oil and gas exploration.
The island nation does not currently produce oil, spending $5.04 billion on imports in 2012.
Seismic work carried out earlier by Norway's TGS Nopec Geophysical Co ASA showed some potential in the northern Cauvery Basin, which on the Indian side has producing wells, and in a basin off the island's southern coast.
Sri Lanka's government has said the seismic data shows the potential for more than 1 billion barrels of oil under the sea in a 30,000 sq km area of the Cauvery basin.

All properly registered voters in Henry County can participate in the Nov. 8 presidential election, and there are plenty of local races to be decided, too.
Pundits are divided whether the negative rhetoric that has characterized the presidential contest between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump will depress voter turnout on Election Day.
County Clerk Shanda Archer has heard a lot of talk about voter fraud and computer hacking, but she has confidence that the voting machines being used in Henry County are sound.
After a delay to get a commercial building permit for the Washington Lodge, officials working to get a new roof on the Odd Fellows' building in New Castle expect construction to resume soon.
Contractor Jeff Perry received the contract to put a new roof on the historic building after a heavy snowfall caused the old one to collapse about 18 months ago, recalled Jeff Thoke, the New Castle Main Street manager who's also assisting the Odd Fellows.
For Christmas shopping in Henry County, it's hard to beat the wide array of offerings at the Holiday Bazaar, which was held at the fairgrounds Saturday.
Farmers accustomed to waiting until June or July to file their acreage usage report to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) should note the deadline has moved up to Nov. 15, less than two weeks away, according to information from the Henry/Oldham FSA office.
At each home varsity game, there's a man roaming the Henry County High School sidelines who took some hits on the Wildcats' field himself. He keeps careful tabs on the athletes and how they're performing on the gridiron — but he's not the coach.
In fact, Andrew Stethen attends all of the high school's home games for all varsity sports, plus travels with the football team when they're away, in an effort to keep all the athletes as healthy as possible.
Cuties in costumes took over the streets of Eminence for a few hours for Halloween Monday evening.
Halloween pictures of trick-or-treaters taken at the Henry County Local office will appear in the Nov. 9 edition of the newspaper.
After Fabulous Furniture and Flooring in Eminence opened in December, owner Barbara Woods said that locals don't have to look outside of Henry County for furnishing and design help.
Having lived here for 40 years, attended Henry County schools since fifth grade, worked as a nurse at Homestead and hosted regular yard sales outside of her Victorian-era home, Woods said she knows the needs of her hometown.

A 21-year-old Dayton, Ohio, man pleaded guilty in Henry County Circuit Court July 13 to manslaughter and two other charges stemming from a deadly March 2016 car crash that killed a Kentucky State Park worker.
Questions raised about the Thorntons travel center proposed for the Interstate 71 at Pendleton — mostly road and traffic conditions — did not deter the Henry County Planning and Zoning Commission at its July 12 meeting from recommending approval for the zoning change needed to develop the 5,500-square-foot store.

Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Learn about the coolest features of Wadia's 170iTransport iPod dock, including its ability to bypass an iPod's digital-to-analog converter, or "DAC."
Video Transcript
Dave: Hi, I'm Dave.
Ralph: And I'm Ralph, and we're here today in the Crutchfield studios to talk about the Wadia 170iTransport. Now here at Crutchfield I write about iPods, MP3 players, and other portable electronic devices.
Dave: And I write about home theater equipment and home audio gear.
Ralph: But with the iTransport we have a device that we can both get excited about, particularly after seeing it in action.
Dave: That's right. Wadia dropped by recently to show us this cool and unique iPod® dock. Now for those who don't know, Wadia is a company that's really known for building extreme high end audio components, so it was especially interesting to get their take on something like an iPod dock.
Ralph: Right. Well here's the thing. Inside of every iPod is a digital-to-analog converter or DAC, and that's the circuitry that takes the song files and converts them to an analog signal for the headphone jack and so you can listen to it on your earbud headphones. It's designed to be portable for a portable device and it does a very good job at what it's designed for. What some people have discovered, however, is when they plug their iPod into their home audio system, that the shortcomings of that DAC are, become readily apparent, and that can be a real problem.
Dave: Right. It can result in somewhat disappointing sound quality. So Wadia solves that problem by allowing you to bypass the DAC that's built into the iPod and send that pure digital bitstream information via the coaxial digital output and included cable into the DAC inside your home theater receiver for much higher-quality sound. And so, you know, that's what I really love about this particular dock is that probably for the first time it allows you to use your DAC as a true — er, your iPod as a true high-quality home audio component.
Ralph: Indeed. And the thing is, Wadia worked with Apple to develop this. They're the only company that has a dock that bypasses iPod's DAC.
Dave: That's right.
Ralph: Now sound, sound quality depends on size of files you have sometimes, so when Wadia came by they invited us to bring our own iPods with our own music, and so we really put it through the test. We had WAV files and Apple Lossless files, and all kinds of MP3 files including some really nasty super-compressed 128 KBPS sound files as well. We played them all through the Wadia iTransport into the receiver's DAC and I have to say I was really impressed with the audio results.
Dave: Oh it came through with flying colors. Yeah, the sound quality was most impressive.
Ralph: Indeed. And you know the thing is they also didn't stint on video quality. Most docks have an S-video output, which is okay. The iTransport does as well. But what it also has is a component video output which is a much higher-quality video output. Once again, in their demo, they had a iPod nano with a movie loaded on it and they plopped it into the dock and fired it up.
Dave: Right. Yeah and then they hooked it up using those component video outputs connected to a projection system that we have in our home training room.
Ralph: Right.
Dave: And we had it projected on a big movie screen and even there the picture quality was crisp and clear. It was most impressive.
Ralph: Oh yeah, we were looking at a 480p resolution image, basically DVD quality, and, and that's what, that's what I saw.
Dave: Yeah, the picture and sound were, were impressive.
Ralph: Indeed.
Dave: So if you can — the Wadia dock is a great device to use if want to really get the full benefits of the digital files, both music and video, stored on your iPod and play them back on a high-quality home theater or home audio system.
Ralph: Now if you'd like to learn more about the Wadia dock you can visit our website, crutchfield.com/170iTransport.

Gov. Perry Issues Executive Order to Create Aging Texas Well Advisory Committee and Action Plan
Gov. Rick Perry today issued an executive order formalizing the "Aging Texas Well" initiative at the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS). The order asks the department to continue its work to identify and discuss aging policy issues, guide state government readiness and promote increased community preparedness for an aging Texas population.
"Increased longevity and the aging of the baby boom generation have led to a growing number of elderly Texans placing new demands on state services," Perry said. "The Aging Texas Well Advisory Committee will ensure that Texas is prepared to meet these needs."
Under the executive order, DADS is directed to form an advisory committee to advise the department and to make recommendations to state leadership on implementation of the Aging Texas Well Initiative. DADS will create and disseminate a comprehensive and effective working plan to identify and discuss aging policy issues, guide state government readiness and promote increased community preparedness for an aging Texas.
DADS will also lead a planning effort to ensure the readiness of all Texas state agencies to serve an aging population by identifying issues, current initiatives and future needs.
The Aging Texas Well initiative was first created in 1997 to encourage Texans to prepare for aging in all aspects of life.

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia
Earlier this year you might remember that BIG W gave Aidan a voucher for some boys clothes and then we all headed out and had a rough and tumble photoshoot with Rachel Devine. It was probably one of the more memorable family sponsored posts I've done so when they contacted me asking if I'd be up to doing it again… how could I refuse?!
The giant baby catalogue may have landed in your mailbox by now and I'm sure you circled a fair few things like I did. Aidan was in a good mood so shopping was a breeze. We darted around the boys wear section with Aidan in the trolley pulling everything off the racks that he liked, the dude has his own sense of style. Then he helped me scan all the barcodes to find out the exact prices, some tags didn't display prices which was kind of annoying but often surprising as I'd assume they'd be expensive and end up only costing $4!
Can you tell he was pretty pleased with his purchases? We had $100 budget and we spent $124.91, I felt the extra $24.91 was totally worth it, splurging on a few items we wouldn't normally buy. After totally blitzing BIG W we headed home for a drink and a big lazy nap… well Aidan did, I headed outside to capture his haul. Want to see what my stylish little dude came up with on a budget?
The kid has a thing for stripes and boy were there plenty to choose from. There was one that reminded me of the colours of the old lifesaver lollies but he wasn't keen, I guess he didn't get the reference. All the tops are a size 3 and the fabric is super soft. I know how well they wore from the last challenge so I was keen to stock up.
- Stripe Tee with Pocket ~ $4.92
- Bold Stripe Tee ~ $6.87
- Blue Jersey Tee ~ $3.00
- Stripe Tee ~ $4.92
Yup, even more tees! These gorgeous tops were the first to make it in the trolley, I held them up to Aidan asking "Which one?" and he said "Blue one and Green one Mumma please" so we got both. They have a very fine stripe, so preppy and cute. I bought BIG W's $9 jeans leading up into winter and they're one of his best pairs mainly due to how soft they are so I was happy to see they had shorts in the same denim. There is also a darker wash available but Aidan wasn't keen.
- Blue Stripe Top ~ $3.00
- Green Stripe Top ~ $3.00
- Denim Shorts ~ $9.00
Aidan's getting ready to go to "school" more than once a week, actually he's begging for it on a daily basis so keeping that in mind I wanted to get a few "daycare clothes". Things I wouldn't mind being covered in paint, food or dirt and can be left in his daycare bag for spare clothes.
- Slub Pocket Tee ~ $4.92
- Green Knit Short ~ $4.92
He still likes to dress up for school though and often picks tees with prints (he has a Threadless addiction) during winter we just layer them over long sleeve tees. As soon as Aidan saw the robot he had to have it. I loved that it wasn't just a rubbery print but embroidered. It's double the price of some of the other tees we bought but still under $10 and looked like something I could buy from an online boutique for three times that amount.
- Applique Tee ~ $7.98
- Navy Knit Short ~ $4.92
Speaking of paying a little more for something special… this was our splurge item. I bought Aidan back a Mickey Mouse plush toy from NYC and it sleeps on his pillow with him each night. As soon as he saw it he pointed his finger and shrieked "MICKEY, look Mumma it's Mickey Mouse… I can have it please Mumma?". It's the same price as four $3.00 tees but the look on his face was priceless and I didn't mind the design, quite classic and not too over the top… plus the blue matches the colour of his eyes. It's also flocked so the black printed part feels like velvet which was just a little bit fun.
- Licensed Flock Tee ~ $14.88
Speaking of fun, I can't wait for all the summer parties ahead, BBQ's in the sunshine, trips up to visit my parents on the coast… these occasions all call for an outfit a little bit more than the everyday look. I knew straight away Aidan needed these cargo shorts, total bonus that he can use the belt with other shorts, the kid loves belts. The shirt is a little more dressy (it has a very subtle print) but I know he'll dress it down by wearing it unbuttoned with a white tee underneath. Oh about that, there were NO white tees left… all sold out. I'll be stalking my store until they get more in stock.
- Short with Belt ~ $11.84
- Basic Shirt ~ $11.84
Yep, there are those denim shorts again except these are a size 4. I'm tragic for buying a size bigger, I feel calmer knowing that in his bottom draw is the bones of a wardrobe the next size up. The same goes for the tee, they didn't have any in a size 3 so I grabbed the 4 knowing that it will be worn eventually. It's a really cute print, I love that the graphics on tees are becoming a little calmer and less noisy.
- Denim Short ~ $9.00
- Printed Tee ~ $4.00
Now I wouldn't be stocking the dude's summer wardrobe without grabbing a few pieces for waterplay! The boardshorts got a huge resounding "Yes PLEASE Mumma, I love my dinosaur shorts." I know they'll get a big work out when we go to Grandma and Grandpa's place. Oh and lets stop for a moment to soak up the totally adorable swim trunks, just perfect for swimming lessons.
- Poplin Short ~ $7.96
- Basic Trunk ~ $7.96
So there you go, that's what we bought from BIG W with a little over $100, his entire summer wardrobe in a single bag and it only took 20-30 minutes to chose the clothes, pay for them and head home. Painless, affordable, good quality, not to mention an opportunity for my little dude to work his creativity and define his own personal style. It's his birthday next week so we're planning a special adventure… I wonder what he'll wear?

The latest numbers for U.S. new home sales and new home prices are more than a bit puzzling. The latest seasonally adjusted numbers from Census Bureau pegged new home sales in November at a 464,000 annual rate. This comes at a time when average new home prices just hit an all-time high at $340,300.
If we are to believe the massaged data and those "seasonally adjusted" numbers, new home sales for September, October and November were well above the peak selling months of June July and August. Taking a 3-month average that would peg the seasonally adjusted annual rate for September through November a full 130,000 higher than June through August. If that sounds preposterous, it should.
Looking at home builder stocks and their performance this year, those Census numbers for new home sales look even more unbelievable. If new home sales were so great, you would expect those stocks to be shooting dramatically higher, but they aren't. Instead those stocks have been languishing, butting up against the wall of affordability at the same time that mortgage purchase applications have been falling. The latest quarterly data for home builders' actual sales confirms that sales have been stagnating. It's also interesting to note that home builder stocks also popped higher when it was announced that new FHFA head Mel Watt would be delaying the GSE fee increases which are currently on the table. This is just another confirmation that ZIRP and central bank policy are keeping the housing market afloat.
The numbers for U.S. new home sales as reported by the Census just don't add up. Contrary to the headline numbers reported, home sales have been much more sensitive to the interest rate rise and subsequent decrease in affordability than many in the housing industry would have you believe. This fact is born out in the charts of several major home builders stocks. I find it interesting that the government continues to report statistics which are detached from the facts on the ground, but this is current policy these days. The central bank is in a desperate attempt to keep a lid on interest rates. They know that the real estate recovery is fragile, and they're trying to keep home prices aloft to buy more time.
"Despite claims otherwise, central banks are giving top priority to interest rate stability, over that of other mandates they have been given explicitly, such as the health of the financial system, price stability, and full employment. This is further confirmation of the idea that central banks are desperate to keep asset prices aloft. For the ECB, the priority is to keep bond prices high to avoid exposing the insolvency of Eurobanks, and for the Fed, out of the need to keep the stock market high and keep goosing a not-very-impressive housing market recovery so as to keep the confidence fairy alive."

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.
Before RONEY, HENDERSON and HATCHETT, Circuit Judges.
The district court denied a motion of the prevailing plaintiffs for attorney fees on the ground that it was not filed within the time required by the local rules of that court. The rule provides:
In any case in which an attorney is entitled by statute to attorney fees as the prevailing party, and such attorney fees are taxable as part of the cost, the attorney may have additional time to file his petition for attorney fees, but such petition shall be filed or mailed by certified or registered mail within 30 days from the date of judgment, or such claim shall be deemed waived. CAVEAT: In some cases the attorney fees are treated as part of the judgment rather than as part of the cost. If part of the judgment, a petition to amend the judgment must be filed within 10 days of the judgment.
Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, Rule 5.
Appealing from that decision, the plaintiff admits the district court is authorized to adopt rules establishing timeliness standards for the filing of claims for attorney fees. White v. New Hampshire Dept. of Employment Security, 455 U.S. 445, 102 S.Ct. 1162, 71 L.Ed.2d 325 (1982). He contends, however, that the judgment which triggers the time under the local rule must be a final judgment, and that the district court judgment entered on August 16, 1984, did not become final until affirmed by this court on April 16, 1985. Since the motion for fees was filed on May 3, 1985, he argues his motion was within the 30-day requirement of the rule.
We affirm the decision of the district court that the "date of judgment," as used in the rules, refers to the date of the final judgment in the district court, and that an appeal does not extend or stay the time limit for filing a motion for fees. Although we agree the decision in Pitts v. Freeman, 755 F.2d 897 (11th Cir.1985), is not precisely in point because the request there was for attorney fees attributable to an unappealed part of the judgment, the rationale of that case and the reasons for setting a time limit dictate the district court was within its discretion in interpreting its own rule as it did.

While I don't usually write about hoaxes and scams, a little encounter that I had over the weekend with a con artist brought this issue into clear focus for me. So, I thought I would share some thoughts about what to watch out for when dealing with Facebook friends and how to respond if one of those "friends" turns out to be someone else entirely.
You've probably already heard about facebook imposters – individuals who pretend to be someone you know. After you accept them as a friend, they might ask for money, claiming to be stranded in some foreign country or complaining that their wallet was stolen while on vacation and now they need your help getting back home, or they might just try to learn more about you for some nefarious reason or another. In my case, my "friend" -- after a quick "hello" -- started telling me that I'd won some an award amounting $150,000 in cash and that it should be on its way to me. She suggested that I call a number that she provided to be sure that I was still on the list. She claimed that she had noticed my name on the list when she got hers. Why shouldn't I believe that?
The conversation started like this, but note that I replaced my friend's photo to protect her identity and changed the font color of my replies to purple so that you might more easily follow the conversation.
Obviously, something's amiss here. Some group is hoping to eradicate poverty and they're just handing out money to whom? Names they're picking out of a hat? The drama continues:
The plot thickens. Now there's a name and number to call. Of course, I was well onto "her" before this point. I guess you can call me a resigned pessimist (the opposite of a wide-eyed optimist), but UPS showing up at my door with $150,000 in cold cash just isn't something that I'd waste any of my remaining brain cells trying to visualize. Still, I decided to drag this on just a bit further.
It was about time to close the conversation. It wasn't very likely that "she" was going to call to ask about the flowers I'd said I sent, but I provided a phone number (which just happens to be a tip line for the FBI) and wrapped up the conversation rather abruptly.
So, now let's look at this a little more seriously.
How did this happen?
First, it's important to understand that, even when you have only a very select group of facebook friends, that some of your information is viewable by anyone. This includes your name, your profile photo, and your friends list. So, it isn't hard for someone to grab your photo and set up an account that looks like yours. And then they might or might not go to the trouble of trying to make the faux page look realistic. In this case, the person hadn't even bothered to add any posts.
So, here is how all this came about. Just a few days ago, I was chatting (facebook messaging) with a new friend who had messaged me earlier. He then asked if I might accept his friend request. So I went and looked at my outstanding friend requests, noticing that quite a few had piled up. I quickly befriended the guy I'd been chatting with and then made a quick pass down the list, accepting several people I recognized. What I didn't think to do, however, was check whether any of those requestees were already in my friends list.
As a result, I apparently befriended the imposter, thinking she was my friend Gladys Noname (fictitious name, of course).
And then?
The imposter, posing at Gladys, a week or so later messaged me on Facebook. Of course, the conversation was suspicious from the get go. Some of the things that I found myself wondering about included:
- Why is this friend who has never messaged me starting now?
- Why is she opening the conversation with just "Hello" rather than saying something that suggests why she is contacting me?
- What is this CFDA acronym she's using? Council of Fashion Designers of America? No, that doesn't make any sense. Why is she assuming that I know what this means?
- Ah, the Community Financial Domestic Assistance. Yeah, right! This friend and I sure don't live in the same community. Not even in the same state! And why would this organization pick either of us, never mind both of us?
- And then there are enough grammatical errors – "they are giving out special offer" and "maybe you get yours also", etc. – to make me wonder if my articulate friend would ever write like that.
- And the $150,000. In cash. To be delivered by UPS. This is obviously too bizarre to be believed.
So, I went a little further.
What to do?
Here are the things that I did beyond toying with the imposter just a bit:
- I looked up my friend's facebook page by entering her name and quickly noticed two friends listed with the same name and the same photo
- I did a Google search on the phone number I had been encouraged to call and noticed that it had already been reported by a couple of other people as a scam. I added my report.
- I reported the problem to facebook, asking that they shut down the offending page and explaining why.
- I also looked at the imposter's friends – undoubtedly other people who had clicked on a similar friend request and asked my friend to alert these other friends of hers to the problem.
- I even entered my own name in various forms to make sure no one had (yet) set up a facebook page to pretend to be me.
- And, lastly, I resolved to check future friend requests to make sure they're not already friends and do whatever I can to verify to the extent possible that they are who they claim to be.
I also made a point of looking through all of my friends to make sure there were no other "duplicates" that might suggest another imposter. I actually found one more and unfriended the imposter – another with no posts who had been added as a friend just recently.
While it's not the most obvious thing to list your friends in alphabetical order on facebook, it can be done and that's how I noticed the second imposter. Listing your friends in alphabetical order makes it easy to notice duplicate names and, especially, the identical photos side-by-side. Here's how I created my alphabetical list:
Listing your Facebook friends in alphabetical order
It would be nice if there were an option to do this simply, but there isn't. After working on this a while, I found this procedure works pretty well.
First, click on that little Facebook "f" in the upper corner of your home page.
Your page should fill up with your friend's profile photos. Click on Finish and you're done.
Your friends will be listed in alphabetic order. You can scroll through the list and look for duplicates. This list is also useful for finding people or reviewing your friends. Just remember to update it when you add new friends or next time you want to review your friends list.

0.4.3. corruption.
0.5. We are also in favor of:
0.5.1. personal responsibility (since that is the price of freedom); and
0.5.2. A culture of excellency (to lift markets upward).
0.6. In short: we aim at complementing the political freedom (obtained with the April 1974 revolution), with greater economic freedom (a field where - as shown below - there is a long way for Portugal to go).

Chapter 1
|1The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
|א דִּבְרֵי יִרְמְיָהוּ בֶּן חִלְקִיָּהוּ מִן הַכֹּהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲנָתוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן:
|The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah: Let the son of the corrupt woman, whose deeds are properJeremiah was descended from Rahab the harlotand let him reprove the son of the righteous woman whose deeds are corrupt these are Israel who corrupted their deeds who are descended from legitimate seed.
|2To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
|באֲשֶׁר הָיָה דְבַר יְהֹוָה אֵלָיו בִּימֵי יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ בֶן אָמוֹן מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה בִּשְׁלֹשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לְמָלְכוֹ:
|To whom the word of the Lord came: Upon whom the Shechinah commenced to rest at that time.
|3And he was in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of eleven years of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
|גוַיְהִי בִּימֵי יְהוֹיָקִים בֶּן יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה עַד תֹּם עַשְׁתֵּי עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לְצִדְקִיָּהוּ בֶן יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה עַד גְּלוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַחֲמִישִׁי:
|And he was in the days of Jehoiakim: And he was a prophet all the remaining days of Josiah, the days of his son Jehoiakim, and the days of his son Zedekiah, until the end of the eleventh yearthat is the yearuntil the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
|4And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
|דוַיְהִי דְבַר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר:
|5When I had not yet formed you in the womb, I knew you, and when you had not yet emerged from the womb, I had appointed you; a prophet to the nations I made you.
|הבְּטֶרֶם אֶצָּרְךָ (כתיב אֶצָּורְךָ) בַבֶּטֶן יְדַעְתִּיךָ וּבְטֶרֶם תֵּצֵא מֵרֶחֶם הִקְדַּשְׁתִּיךָ נָבִיא לַגּוֹיִם נְתַתִּיךָ:
|When I had not yet formed you in the womb, etc.: Since the days of the first man. The Holy One, blessed be He, showed Adam each generation and its prophets.
|I… formed you: Heb. אצרך, an expression of צורה, a form.
|I knew you: connois toi in O.F. Comp. (Exodus 6:3), "I was not known (נודעתּי) to them."
|I appointed you: I appointed you for this.
|a prophet to the nations: To Israel, who behave like the nations. In this manner it is expounded in Sifrei on the verse: "A prophet from your midst, etc." (Deut. 18:15), will set up for you and not for those who deny the Torah. How then do I fulfill "A prophet to the nations I made you" ? To the children of Israel who deport themselves with the customs of the nations. It can further be interpreted: "A prophet for the nations," like "About the nations," to give them to drink the cup of poison, to prophesy retribution upon them, as it is said: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand, you shall give all the nations to drink of it" (infra 25:15). Another explanation of "When you had not yet emerged from the womb I appointed you" is: Concerning you I said to Moses: "I will set up a prophet… like you" (Deut. 18:18). This one reproved them, and this one reproved them. This one prophesied for forty years and this one prophesied for forty years.
|6And I said, "Alas, O Lord God! Behold, I know not to speak for I am a youth.
|ווָאֹמַר אֲהָהּ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה הִנֵּה לֹא יָדַעְתִּי דַבֵּר כִּי נַעַר אָנֹכִי:
|Alas: This is an expression of wailing (konpljjnt in 0.F.).
|for I am a youth: I am not worthy to reprove them. Moses reproved them shortly before his death, when he was already esteemed in their eyes through the many miracles that he had performed for them. He had taken them out of Egypt, split the Reed Sea for them, brought down the manna, caused the quails to fly, given them the Torah, brought up the well. I come to reprove them at the beginning of my mission.
|7And the Lord said to me; Say not, "I am a youth," for wherever I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
|זוַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי אַל תֹּאמַר נַעַר אָנֹכִי כִּי עַל כָּל אֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁלָחֲךָ תֵּלֵךְ וְאֵת כָּל אֲשֶׁר אֲצַוְּךָ תְּדַבֵּר:
|wherever I send you: to the heathens.
|and whatever I command you: to Israel, you shall speak.
|8Fear them not, for I am with you to save you, says the Lord.
|חאַל תִּירָא מִפְּנֵיהֶם כִּי אִתְּךָ אֲנִי לְהַצִּלֶךָ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה:
|9And the Lord stretched out His hand and reached my mouth, and the Lord said to me; Behold, I have placed My words in your mouth.
|טוַיִּשְׁלַח יְהֹוָה אֶת יָדוֹ וַיַּגַּע עַל פִּי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי דְבָרַי בְּפִיךָ:
|And the Lord stretched forth His hand: Every sending mentioned concerning a hand is an expression of stretching forth. Another explanation is like the Targum: And the Lord sent the words of His prophecy.
|10Behold, I have appointed you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to crush, and to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant.
|ירְאֵה הִפְקַדְתִּיךָ | הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה עַל הַגּוֹיִם וְעַל הַמַּמְלָכוֹת לִנְתוֹשׁ וְלִנְתוֹץ וּלְהַאֲבִיד וְלַהֲרוֹס לִבְנוֹת וְלִנְטוֹעַ:
|I have appointed you: I have appointed you over the heathens.
|to uproot and to crush: (depayser in French, to uproot) and over Israel to build and to plant if they heed. So did Jonathan paraphrase it.
|11And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, "I see a rod of an almond tree."
|יאוַיְהִי דְבַר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה יִרְמְיָהוּ וָאֹמַר מַקֵּל שָׁקֵד אֲנִי רֹאֶה:
|a rod of an almond tree: (amendleer in O.F.) Jonathan, however, renders: A King who hastens to do evil.
|12And the Lord said to me; You have seen well, for I hasten My word to accomplish it.
|יבוַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי הֵיטַבְתָּ לִרְאוֹת כִּי שֹׁקֵד אֲנִי עַל דְּבָרִי לַעֲשֹׂתוֹ:
|You have seen well: This almond tree hastens to blossom before all other trees. I, too, hasten to perform My word. And the Midrash Aggadah (Ecc. Rabbah 12:8) explains: An almond tree takes twenty-one days from its blossoming until it is completely ripe, as the number of days between the seventeenth of Tammuz, when the city was broken into, until the ninth of Ab, when the Temple was burnt.
|13And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying: What do you see? And I said, "I see a bubbling pot, whose foam is toward the north."
|יגוַיְהִי דְבַר יְהֹוָה | אֵלַי שֵׁנִית לֵאמֹר מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה וָאֹמַר סִיר נָפוּחַ אֲנִי רֹאֶה וּפָנָיו מִפְּנֵי צָפוֹנָה:
|a bubbling pot: [lit. blown up,] seething (boillant in French).
|whose foam: [lit. and its face,] its seething (et ses ondes in O.F.) [and its waves].
|14And the Lord said to me; From the north the misfortune will break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
|ידוַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֵלָי מִצָּפוֹן תִּפָּתַח הָרָעָה עַל כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ:
|From the north the misfortune will break forth: Babylon is on the north of Eretz Israel.
|15For, behold I am summoning all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord, and they will come and place, each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem and against all its walls around and against all the cities of Judah.
|טוכִּי | הִנְנִי קֹרֵא לְכָל מִשְׁפְּחוֹת מַמְלְכוֹת צָפוֹנָה נְאֻם יְהֹוָה וּבָאוּ וְנָתְנוּ אִישׁ כִּסְאוֹ פֶּתַח | שַׁעֲרֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְעַל כָּל חוֹמֹתֶיהָ סָבִיב וְעַל כָּל עָרֵי יְהוּדָה:
|16And I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their evil, that they left Me and offered up burnt-offerings to other gods and they prostrated themselves to the work of their hands.
|טזוְדִבַּרְתִּי מִשְׁפָּטַי אוֹתָם עַל כָּל רָעָתָם אֲשֶׁר עֲזָבוּנִי וַיְקַטְּרוּ לֵאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַעֲשֵׂי יְדֵיהֶם:
|And I will utter My judgments against them: I will debate with them, with Judah and Jerusalem.
|17And you shall gird your loins and arise and speak to them all that I command you; be not dismayed by them, lest I break you before them.
|יזוְאַתָּה תֶּאְזֹר מָתְנֶיךָ וְקַמְתָּ וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֵת כָּל אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי אֲצַוֶּךָּ אַל תֵּחַת מִפְּנֵיהֶם פֶּן אֲחִתְּךָ לִפְנֵיהֶם:
|And you shall gird your loins: This is an expression of quickening like a man of valor.
|18And I, behold I have made you today into a fortified city and into an iron pillar, and into copper walls against the entire land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
|יחוַאֲנִי הִנֵּה נְתַתִּיךָ הַיּוֹם לְעִיר מִבְצָר וּלְעַמּוּד בַּרְזֶל וּלְחֹמוֹת נְחֹשֶׁת עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה לְשָׂרֶיהָ לְכֹהֲנֶיהָ וּלְעַם הָאָרֶץ:
|against the Kings of Judah: lit. to the Kings of Judah.
|19And they shall fight against you but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you says the Lord, to save you.
|יטוְנִלְחֲמוּ אֵלֶיךָ וְלֹא יוּכְלוּ לָךְ כִּי אִתְּךָ אֲנִי נְאֻם יְהֹוָה לְהַצִּילֶךָ:
|And they shall fight against you: They shall quarrel and fight against you to refute the words of your prophecy.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
It sounds like you are having an ocular migraine.
A typical migraine headache starts with shimmering lights, often times they surround a blurry area or have dots or jaggedly lines associated with them. They tend to progressively increase in intensity and sometimes march across the visual field causing difficulty with reading. Many times this is then accompanied by nausea, irritability, sensitivity to bright lights and/or loud noises. After the onset of the lights (called scintillating scotomas), the headache typically starts and the light show tends to progressively go away.
Many people can have this migraine phenomenon without the headache; it is called an acephalgic migraine. Some people even start having these late in life, or may have had a few much earlier in life that behaved differently and haven't had any for decades and then begin to have them; this is not uncommon. A family history of migraines is often present as well.
This is nothing to worry about. It is not a sign of a more serious underlying condition, brain tumor or anything like that. If the episodes become so frequent that they are bothersome there are medicines that can be used to decrease their frequency or stop an episode once it has started.
In 20 minutes to a hour or so your vision will return to normal. You may, or you may not, get a headache after that.
Does this make sense to you?
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)

I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much. Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.
I don't have a migraine. It's a permanent spot just off centre to the field of vision and that's all. Are you still confident that your've identified the problem ?
I don't think I'm having a migraine. All that is is a spot the centre of which is bright and obscuring. Would this
Not if it is not changing....
What would you think now?
I'm sorry I misunderstood your issue. I believe it is more likely that you have some bleeding inside your eye, perhaps under your retina, or a partial retinal detachment in progress.
What time/day is on your side of the planet?
yes I think that's worth considering. What would you suggest I do now?
See an ophthalmologist ASAP. Being examined by a GP in the ER or an optometrist will be of limited help in this case. It is almost midnight here, Thursday night. Does that mean it is early Friday AM in Australia?
It's 2:57 pm in Australia on the Eastern coast.
OK. Friday I guess.....you need to be seen today. By the way, since you are from the future, could you check how some stocks are going to do tomorrow for me? lol!
stocks has risen slightly.
:) but which ones?
All kidding aside, do you best to get an ophthalmologist to give you a complete exam before the end of business today. Sorry about my earlier misunderstanding......
Now that's quite alot of work to supply you with all that!. Mining stocks are up.
You are a very, very funny guy =)
And a pleasure to chat with.
Thank you and goodbye
Best of luck to you. Take care.
