Sears Holdings Corp. will start selling its Kenmore line of refrigerators and stoves on Amazon.com Inc.'s website, marking the first distribution of its kitchen appliances outside of its own stores. Sears's shares rose 15% to $10 in morning trading, bringing the stock into positive-trading territory this year.
Home Depot Inc.'s stock tumbled 4.2% in morning trade Thursday toward a three-month low, enough to be the Dow Jones Industrial Average's biggest loser, in the wake of Sears Holdings Corp.'s announcement that it will sell appliances through Amazon.com Inc. . Appliances have been among the best performing categories for Home Depot. The stock's selloff was the main reason for Dow's price decline. Shares of fellow home improvement retailer Lowe's Companies shed 4.6% to a five-month low. Shares of Best Buy Co. Inc. , which has also benefited from strong appliance sales, slid 3.9%. Appliance maker Whirlpool Corp. dropped 4.7%. Meanwhile, Sears's stock shot up 19%, while shares of fellow department store chain J.C. Penney Co. Inc. gained 1.4%.
Shares of retailers were hammered Monday, as a wave of fears about the impact of juggernaut Amazon.com Inc. on the sector were highlighted in stories and commentary from analysts. Department store chain Macy's Inc. , currently in the midst of store closures caused by weak revenue as shoppers switch to Amazon, led the decliners with a 7% fall, making it the worst performer on the S&P 500. Gap Inc. fell 6.5%, followed by Best Buy Inc. , down 6.3%. Best Buy has mostly escaped the pressure of the Amazon effect, but was hit Monday by a Recode report that Amazon has been hiring a team of people to offer in-home product installations, competing with Best Buy's "Geek Squad." Kohl's Corp. fell 4.6% and Nordstrom Inc. was down 2.7%. Abercrombie & Fitch fell 20% after it said it had ended talks on a potential deal. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. was down 2.5% and Foot Locker Inc. was down 2.3%. Costco Wholesale Corp. fell 1.7% after an analyst downgrade that suggested the company's strong fundamentals are being overshadowed by Amazon fears, following its bid for Whole Foods Markets Inc. . The SPDR S&P Retail exchange-traded fund was down 2% and is now down 11.7% in 2017, while the S&P 500 has gained 9%.
Shares of Best Buy Co. Inc. tumbled 7.2% in active morning trade Monday, enough to pace the S&P 500 decliners, amid increasing concerns over competition from Amazon.com Inc. . The electronics retailer's stock had been relatively immune to the Amazon effect, as the stock has climbed 11% over the past three months and 27% year to date, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF had lost 7.7% over the past three months and 12% this year. But Recode reported Monday, citing "multiple sources," that Amazon has been hiring a number of people to offer free Alexa consultations and in-home product installations for a fee, which would compete with Best Buy's "Geek Squad" installation and repair service. The new services are currently available in seven West Coast cities, the Recode report said, and it appears a large expansion is in the works to some states including Florida, Texas and the New York area. Best Buy's stock volume topped 5.4 million shares within the first two hours after the open, already more than the full-day average of about 5.2 million shares. Amazon's stock rallied 1.4% in morning trade, and has rallied 9.4% over the past three months and 32% year to date.
U.S. stocks are mixed early Wednesday amid stabilizing crude oil prices (for now), and following a handful of strong earnings reports. Against this backdrop, the Nasdaq Composite is firmly higher — and retesting the May peak (6,222) — while the S&P 500 and Dow industrials digest the early-week break to record territory.
Ebay Inc. said Wednesday that it has launched a price match guarantee on more than 50,000 items in the U.S. Merchandise found on Ebay Deals, which launched in 2011, is eligible. Shoppers don't have to be Ebay members to take advantage of the program. Ebay will match pricing from competitors including Amazon.com Inc. , Wal-Mart Stores Inc. , and Best Buy Co. Inc. . Eighty percent of merchandise sold on Ebay is new, the company said. Ebay shares are up 0.4% in Wednesday premarket trading, and up 41.4% for the past year. The S&P 500 index is up 16.7% for the last 12 months.

Baton Rouge police are investigating a Tuesday night car chase that led to a shooting and subsequent car crash, leaving a 23-year-old man in critical condition.
One vehicle with two men inside it allegedly began chasing a vehicle driven by the 23-year-old man at about 5:20 p.m. in the 2200 block of Spanish Town Road, said Cpl. Don Coppola Jr., a police spokesman.
It's unclear at this time what sparked the chase, Coppola said, but the 23-year-old man ended up being shot and crashed his vehicle into a utility pole near the intersection of North 22nd and Gracie streets.
The incident remains under investigation, and police do not currently have any suspects in custody, Coppola said.

Quite the Price Drop As $46-Mil Denton County Manse Hits Auction Block at $10.3 Mil Reserved
Concierge Auctions
We virtually toured the splendor that is the 48,000-square-foot Champ d'Or up in Denton County in August 2010, when the asking price was, oh, $70 million, give or take -- not quite The Nice Price. But it didn't sell -- shocking -- not even when the price tag dropped to half that, which is why Concierge Auctions announced today it's putting the 39-acre spread and an adjacent 37-acre commercial parcel on the auction block on March 30, with the reserve set for this $46-million build-out at the low, low, low, low, low price of ... $10.3 million.
Says Joan Eleazer of Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty in the just-dispatched press release, "Champ d'Or is a perfect fit for the auction platform, as it is truly one-of-a-kind, with nary a detail missed. The estate could be used as a residence or for a business venture. The possibilities are endless, including development potential as an exclusive executive retreat, medical or spa facility, or recovery center."
Details here. Me, I've always have wanted a house with a two-lane bowling alley and movie theater with opera seating. Split it with you .. and you ... and you ... and you ... and you ... and you ...

Item description for Fabio Paleari: I Won't Give Up by Fabio Paleari Robert Montgomery...Any follower of the international tabloids is well-acquainted with rocker Pete Doherty, the former Libertines frontman who is now quite famous for his on-again, off-again love affairs with supermodel Kate Moss and crack cocaine. After getting kicked out of the influential aforementioned British post-punk band for his over-the-top-drug use, Doherty started the band Babyshambles in 2005. Despite his frequent stints in rehab and a jail sentence for burglarizing a bandmate's apartment, Babyshambles has put out two records, Down In Albion (2005) and Shotter's Nation (2007).
Though fringe elements of Doherty's incendiary story have been well documented by unauthorized paparazzi, the authorized, inside view has never been available until now. In I Won't Give Up, Italian photographer and documentary filmmaker Fabio Paleari, known for capturing one of the last interviews with Allen Ginsburg before his death in 1997, follows Doherty onstage, backstage, while partying from 2004-2006 and throughout the vicissitudes of his relationship with Moss. Over the course of his 30-year career, Paleari has created his own fair share of gossip with photographs of all kinds of illicit activity and glamorized sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Here, above all, he captures the "off" moments, when Doherty is at his roughest and least inhibited. This unique photo portrait closes just months after the famous video of Kate Moss' cocaine relapse aired to the public in 2007.
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

November 02, 2011
On Monday, November 14, A. Barton Hinkle, editor and columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch and contributor to Reason magazine, will speak at Hampden-Sydney College. His topic addresses, "Can the U.S. Afford the Bill of Rights"?
Hinkle was born in 1968 and attended the University of Virginia. In 1990 he became editor of the editorial page for the Suffolk (Virginia) News-Herald. In December of that same year he joined the editorial page staff of the Richmond News Leader. When the News Leader merged with the Richmond Times-Dispatch in 1992, Hinkle became associate editor on the editorial staff. He was promoted to associate editor and senior editorial writer and began writing a weekly signed column on local and state affairs in 2000. Three years later he began writing another weekly column on national and international affairs.
He has twice won the Virginia Press Association's top award for editorial writing and twice won its second-place award for column writing. He also writes occasional pieces for the American Enterprise magazine, published by the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
As an editorial writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch in 2004, Hinkle received the Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writing from the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation of the Society of Professional Journalists. "Bart Hinkle possesses a keen intellect and is one of the finest writers I ever have known," wrote Ross Mackenzie, Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial page editor and recipient of the first Pulliam Fellowship in 1978. "His editorials are incisive and persuasive, his column one of this newspaper's top reader preferences."
Hinkle's lecture, sponsored by the Center for the Study of Political Economy, begins at 7:30 PM in Crawley Forum. This event is free and open to the community.

AWEPA member Rt. Hon. Baroness Northover was appointed to the role of Lead Spokesperson for Department for International Development in the House of Lords in September 2011.
She is also a government spokesperson for Health, and Women and Equalities, and is a Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords. In this written statement released November 11, 2013, she makes a case for tackling violence against women and girls overseas. Her statement is especially relevant in view of the recent AWEPA joint activity with Africa All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) held in the House of Commons to end FGM/C.
The Rt. Hon. Baroness Northover's statement:
My Hon Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Development (Hon. Lynne Featherstone) has made the following statement.
I am pleased to take this opportunity to update the House on my role as Ministerial Champion for Tackling Violence against Women and Girls Overseas.
Violence against women and girls is a global pandemic – it is one of the most systematic, widespread human rights abuses in the world. The UK Government believes this can change, that every woman and girl has the right to live free from violence and abuse.
The establishment of the role of Ministerial Champion for Tackling Violence against Women and Girls Overseas is the first of its kind internationally. I was appointed to this role by the Prime Minister in 2010 and for the last three years I have had the privilege of being at the forefront of UK efforts to successfully drive forward progress towards eliminating violence against women and girls internationally.
In my role I am also working to improve policy coherence across UK Government Departments, ensuring that what we do has the greatest possible impact overseas. I have also championed this issue with the media, civil society and with parliamentarians in the countries in which we work. As a result we are now seeing an unprecedented level of commitment to this issue that I would like to bring to the House's attention.
As Champion, I am passionately committed to tackle all forms of violence against women and girls but have identified three priority areas:
• Addressing violence against women and girls in humanitarian emergencies – because women and girls are often the most vulnerable in emergencies and in times of conflict;
• Ending female genital mutilation/cutting– as this is one the worst kinds of gender violence, where girls around the world have suffered a lifetime of damage, sometimes even death, as a result;
• Building the evidence base – so we better understand what works in preventing violence against women and girls.
During my time as champion, the UK government has shown considerable leadership in this area at all levels. This includes the recognition of violence against women and girls in the Prime Minister's 'Golden Thread' agenda for International Development and his push for its inclusion in the framework that will replace the Millennium Development Goals; the Foreign Secretary's commitment to addressing sexual violence in conflict through the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative; and DFID's scaling up of its response to violence against women and girls, including more in-country programmes on preventing violence, support to building the evidence-base on prevention including launching a £25M research programme, and high-level leadership on addressing violence against women and girls in humanitarian responses.
I am championing our work on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), of which I am very proud – demonstrating UK leadership in backing an Africa-led movement on this issue. In March 2013 I announced DFID's flagship £35 million programme which will help to end this practice within a generation with a specific objective of reducing it by 30% in at least 10 countries in 5 years. There are clearly links between the diaspora and what is happening within their countries of origin. Within our FGM/C programme, we will be working with diaspora communities with the specific aim of supporting ways for them to influence change in their countries of origin.
Important steps have also been taken this year at the international policy level in which the UK has played a key role. This includes the agreed conclusions reached at the 2013 UN Commission on the Status of Women which gives the international community a strong mandate to take a stand on ending violence against women and girls.
We have also seen the Foreign Secretary deliver the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, ensuring our efforts across government are fully complementary. So far, the initiative led to the historic G8 Declaration, and in September 2013 the ambitious Declaration of Commitment to End Sexual Violence in Conflict which, so far, 134 countries have endorsed.
Looking forward, building on the G8 commitments, on 13th November 2013, the Secretary of State for International Development will host a High Level Call to Action on Protecting Girls and Women in Emergencies, to be held in London. This event will shine a spotlight on the actions the international community will take to better protect women and girls in emergencies.
We are also developing a new UK National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, to be launched in March 2014. This will ensure that the UK's work in conflict resolution and peace-building takes into account the impact of conflict on women as well as the important role they play in building a lasting peace.
Alongside the International Development Secretary, I will continue to push for the inclusion of a stand-alone goal on gender equality, which includes a target on ending violence against women and girls, in the framework that will replace the Millennium Development Goals after 2015.
As recommended by the International Development Committee in their recent report on violence against women and girls, I am working to ensure that we continue to scale up the development and implementation of programmes to tackle violence against women and girls in all DFID priority countries.

Down in the valley was 2 of the big 5, wildebeest, family of ostrich and about 20 giraffe we counted. The view was amazing and was clear skies but for some reason I forgot to take a picture. It seemed by this time the previous days episode was making me feel weak and was not really in the mood for much except getting to Tambotie.
We left the lookout and the road was uneventful till just past the Orpen dam turn of when we find this Tawny Eagle sitting in the middle of the road.
At first we thought what he was doing here, then SO spotted something by he's feet.
At close inspection we sow that it was n baby puffader that the Eagle must have spotted trying to get over the road. He was picking it up and shaking it, as it seems that the snake was still alive.
After about 10min the little puffy showed no more life and he Flew of with is kill.

Guest comments: 'Fantastic apartment, fantastic location - couldn't have asked for any more! We'll definitely be back.'
'Beautiful apartment we feel privileged to have stayed here! Loved Lagos and the gorgeous surrounding beaches.'
Recently stayed 8 nights here with hubby and two teenage sons. All looking for a bit of 'chill out ' time. Apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed - seperate bathroom for the boys and plenty of storage. Dishwasher and washer useful for cutting down on the packing. Plenty of on site info, and we actually booked the taxi for the return airport trip - costing 2 thirds of our trip from the airport - so very useful. Pool area almost deserted till after lunch, and the whole resort was getting busier as we left, but we never queued for a restaurant - and the choice was amazing. Plenty of choice - especially for the seafood lover, and usually cooked fresh to order.
Lovely harbour and the beach was a 10 min walk - it was near some cafes etc and was beautifully clean. The area is not too hilly, and the promenade was a pleasant evening stroll.
Dealing direct with Jo was brilliant, and made the overall experience very efficient.
Would definitely return - thoroughly enjoyable.
Just to echo previous review this is an excellent apartment in the fine resort of Lagos. Stayed end of July beginning of August apartment is clean spacious and has everything you need. Location is very central with marina and town centre a short stroll away. There's a pingo doce supermarket just a couple minutes walk which had excellent choice and was very reasonably priced.
Air conditioning in bedrooms and lounge was very welcome with temperatures never falling below 30 degrees. And with teenage daughters the WiFi worked a charm with good coverage indoors (it didn't quite stretch to the lovely sun terrace).
Shared pool in complex was fine for a dip and we managed to find sunbeds most days even at this busy time of year.
First time booking direct with an owner so a liitle wary but Jo was a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend apartment to anyone.
We had 2 weeks in July in this apartment in Lagos - my wife and I and our 8 year old boy and 4 year old girl. The apartment was absolutely brilliant - everything said in the description is totally accurate regarding tv, wifi and kitchen equipment, etc.
The terrace is particularly good. A very large, completely private sunny space which we used to eat, play, read, listen to music and even dry clothes!
The location is also fabulous. 1 minute to the terrific Cafe Fresco across the road, 5 minutes to Pingo Doce supermarket. 10 minutes and you are right in the centre of town having passed more than a dozen good restaurants or bars on the way and 15 minutes will take you to the beautiful Maia Praia (having passed the Marina on the way). The bus station is only minutes away too.
All communications regarding the rental were perfect too. Fast, friendly with very clear instructions at every stage.
I really can't recommend this property highly enough.
We had the most amazing holiday in Lagos, the apartment was beyond our expectations, modern, clean and had everything we needed and more. Well positioned for either walk to beach or into the marina and town centre. Absolutely loved the big sunny patio, we will definitely be back, can't wait. Thank you Jo and Pete, highly recommend to anyone looking.
We spent 8 days at this wonderful apartment in Lagos. The owner Jo was extremely helpful during the booking and planning and ensured that we arrived with all the correct information, also a welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. The weather on our trip was changeable and this brought the apartment into even greater use. A real home from home with all the facilities you would need, including wi-fi, television, cooking and washing facilities and I have to say the comfiest bed I have slept in when on holiday. The apartment is in a great location, close to everything Lagos has to offer. The pool and play park were ideal for our 10 year old son, even in the rain. I would thoroughly recommend this beautiful apartment and having spent many holidays in Lagos it is one of the best...thanks for a great holiday...Derek, Wendy and Dylan.
As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment is ideally situated to make the most of all Lagos's many attractions. Easy walking distance from most of the 200+ restaurants, bars, cafes even for us oldsters.
The apartment looks and feels like someone's home rather than a rental investment. It is spotless and well maintained with everything you could ever need supplied.
Jo made the whole rental process very easy, responded promptly to e- mails and was very efficient in completing the finances.
I'm sure we've all experienced the other end of the spectrum, so it took much of the strain out before we arrived.
We look forward to doing it again soon.
Lagos, once the capital of Portugal is steeped in history and culture. The apartment is 10 mins walk to Batata Beach. Praia Dona Ana (the most photographed beach in Europe) and Meia Preia are a short drive away or Meia Preia accessed via a small ferry boat in the summer months. Praia de Luz 10 minutes drive, Salema 20 minutes drive, Zaviel 20 minutes drive. There are also some fantastic beaches for surfing and body boarding on the west coast including Armado about 30 minutes drive away. Local buses run several times a day to most of these locations.
There a number of outstanding golf courses within a 15 minute drive including Palmares, Parque da Floresta, Boa Vista and Penina.
Faro airport 50 minutes drive. Car hire is available from the airport and recommended if you wish to do a lot of travelling and some fantastic sightseeing. Car hire can be arranged by us, as can Airport transfers. Lagos train station is a 5 minute walk and Lagos bus station a 2 minute walk.
Other Activities: Brilliant location for surfing, body boarding and all water sports

Expense Reporting gets a boost from Cloud ERP
As reported in Travel Procurement, the competition in the automated expense reporting space has increased dramatically over the past few years. According to author Mary Ann McNulty:
While some products are still delivered as software, most are software-as-a-service, cloud-based or, increasingly, mobile apps.
This should come as no surprise because expense reporting is an ideal application for the cloud.
Expense Reports are an Ideal Cloud ERP Application
The cloud supports expense reporting by providing access from anywhere. Access from anywhere allows on-the-fly entry to reduce the time between when expenses are incurred and when they are reported. Reporting accuracy improves significantly when the time to entry is reduced.
The cloud supports expense reporting by providing scalable computing power. In large organizations, many people wait until the end of the week to enter time sheets and expense reports. By using a cloud application, the additional traffic and processing can be easily accommodated to avoid delays.
The cloud enables centralized, real-time processing so accountants, budget personnel, and approvers to spot and correct problems quickly. In addition, policy and procedure changes can be instantly implemented when using a web-based cloud system.
Software Implementation Statistics
In the article Expense Reporting Solutions Multiply: Cloud, ERP, Mobile, Procurement Suites Among Options, author Mary Ann McNulty also points out some interesting facts about the automated expense reporting industry:
- A Cost of Control 2010 survey of 550 financial directors and CFOs reports that 72 percent claimed to increase automation or plan to do so in the next 12 months.
- Aberdeen Group published a survey of 175 companies in February 2010 where 52 percent of enterprises were focused on increasing visibility of their T&E spending, 40 percent on improved compliance, 38 percent on reduced processing time and costs, and 36 percent on managing travel budget restrictions.
- The same Aberdeen study said that 20 percent of enterprise customers still process expenses manually, 30 percent are partially automated, 45 percent are fully automated, and 5 percent outsource their expense reporting. Although not part of this statistic, the percentage of manually processes expenses for mid-sized business is probably even higher.
The fact that 50% of firms are manual or partially automated provides a large opportunity for companies to do it right the first time by implementing a web-based or cloud-based expense reporting solution. Companies with older automation systems facing maintenance payments should consider upgrading to a web-based or cloud-based system. The savings in time, accuracy, policy-making, and reporting may easily pay for the cost of the upgrade.

I remember the N95. Nokia never said anything about the accelerometer sensor that had been silently built into every N95 sold, it was quite nice when the sensor was discovered and suddenly a new feature had been added without buying anything. Anyway, I bring up the N95 because it was amazing how sensors such as the accelerometer and GPS, two brand new experiences for smartphone users, could make our phones more aware and somehow more human. I remember apps that changed my profiles depending on where I was, and switching to landscape mode by just turning the phone. Good times.
Now Nokia is looking forward to the next chapter. They are launching a Challenge together with Prize X that promotes the creation of next-generation sensors. Nokia seems to be mostly interested in the health sector; possibly looking for sensors that help people prevent or control conditions like diabetes, asthma, allergies, and obesity. It would be really nice if smartphones could detect early signs of a heart attack and alert an emergency service of the user's position. Or maybe alert the user to leave a building because there's smoke in the air or other dangerous contaminants. Well, 2.25 million dollars will certainly motivate innovation. Here's the challenge's website: http://nokiasensingxchallenge.org/

text: elections One-On-One With Washington's Candidates For Governor By Austin Jenkins • Oct 19, 2012 Christina Salerno / TVW Ballots are arriving in the mail. And a new poll shows the race for Washington governor is a virtual dead heat. Whoever is elected will inherit a budget shortfall along with a court order to spend more on education. Despite Being Written Off, Write-Ins Remain In Race By Chris Lehman • Oct 18, 2012 Photo by Chris Lehman / Northwest News Network It's been ten years since any Republican has won a statewide election in Oregon. In fact, the GOP failed to even get anyone on the ballot for two statewide offices in last May's primary. So at the last minute, the party recruited write-in candidates for Attorney General and Treasurer. Political observers have largely written off the two candidates. But that hasn't stopped them from campaigning enthusiastically. Salem Correspondent Chris Lehman reports. Once Brash Washington Home Builders Now Behind The Scenes By Austin Jenkins • Oct 16, 2012 Steven Lee / Flickr The airwaves in Washington are chock-a-block with campaign ads. But one group's missing from the fray despite its reputation for not pulling any punches. We're talking about Washington home builders. Wash. Governor Candidates Vow No New Taxes -- With Caveats By Austin Jenkins • Oct 15, 2012 Austin Jenkins / Northwest News Network Ballots are about to go out in Washington. In the race for governor, both candidates are pledging to veto tax hikes. But Republican Rob McKenna and Democrat Jay Inslee also leave themselves some wiggle room. Feds Silent So Far On Marijuana Ballot Measures By Chris Lehman • Oct 15, 2012 Virginia Alvino Two years ago, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder opposed a California initiative to legalize marijuana. But this year, the Justice Department has been silent on similar measures before voters in Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Monday, a group of former federal drug officials urged the Obama administration to weigh in. Early Voting Makes Vote-By-Mail States Look Like Late Comers By Jessica Robinson • Oct 15, 2012 Jessica Robinson / Northwest News Network Voters in Oregon and Washington will start receiving ballots in the mail late this week. This is the first presidential election to be conducted entirely through the postal service in Washington. Democrats, Republicans Vie For Control Of Oregon House By Chris Lehman • Oct 12, 2012 Photos courtesy Oregon Legislature Oregon is not considered a battleground in the Presidential election. President Obama is strongly favored to win the state's seven electoral votes. What's more, Democrats also hold every single statewide office in Oregon and far outnumber Republicans in terms of voter registration. But there's an exception to the one-party dominance: The Oregon House is evenly divided. 30 Democrats to 30 Republicans. And both parties are hard at work in legislative battlegrounds to swing the majority in their direction. Salem Correspondent Chris Lehman reports. Voter Registration Increase Lags Last Presidential Election By Chris Lehman • Oct 9, 2012 Registering to vote is easier than ever. But Northwest residents don't appear as eager to vote as they were during the last presidential election. As the deadline to register draws near, state figures show a smaller uptick in voter registration than in 2008. Religion Not A Factor In Latino Politics By Florangela Davila • Oct 5, 2012 Photo by Florangela Davila Religion is one of the most defining characteristics of Latino culture. But pollsters say it plays virtually no role in how they vote. This week, we've been looking at Latinos in Northwest politics. In our next story, Florangela Davila looks at how faith shapes the lives of two Mexican-American siblings. But not their politics.

She also describes how I feel about leaving our friends and family in California;
"Leaving does not always mean betrayal. And I think that, sometimes, we're not particularly afraid of losing people. What we're really afraid of is having to learn to do life without them. Because, ultimately, we are creatures of habit and comfort.
One day not far from today, that just might be our demise.
Because the world is changing and we are changing, all the time, forever and ever. And, sometimes, by holding on too hard, we lose.
And loss can be ugly, beautiful, scary or all of the above but I have found that it is, more than anything, necessary.
When we say things like 'people don't change,' it drives scientists crazy. Because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, matter, it's always changing. Morphing, merging, growing, dying. It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to the things that were, instead of letting them be the way they are. The way we cling to old memories instead of making new ones. The way we insist on believing, despite every scientific indication, that anything in this lifetime is perfect. Change is constant. The way we experience change, that's up to us. It can feel like death, or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment, we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born all over again.
So when people leave, I've learned the secret: let them. Because, most of the time, they have to.
Let them walk away and go places. Let them have adventures in the wild without you. Let them travel the world and explore life beyond a horizon that you exist in. And know, deep down, that heroes aren't qualified by their capacity to stay but by their decision to return.
All great people leave.
And, yes. One day, a great person just might leave you.
But our lives are made of revolving doors and for every person who leaves, a new person enters. Not as a replacement but as a completely new character in the ever-evolving story of your life.
When you leave, you begin to understand the worth of what you walked away from. You discover that walking out is not always equivalent to closing doors. Sometimes it means leaving them half-open for the journey back. It is not a virtue possessed by the easily contented. It has always been the beaten down path of the brave."

|Please note: This article is about the Hanako family Founder. For other uses of the term, please see Hanako (disambiguation).
|Seppun Hanako
|Imperial Chancellor,
Hanako family Founder
Seppun Hanako was a bushi of the Imperial Families and founder of the Hanako family.
Station Edit
Hanako reached her gempukku during the reign of Hantei XVI, originally a member of the Seppun Miharu. [1] Against all odds, she survived the Steel Chrysanthemum's rule, but Hanako witnessed countless atrocities during his reign. [2]
Imperial Chancellor Edit
Hanako promoted through the ranks until she was one of the personal guards for his successor, the young and inexperienced Hantei XVII. Eventually the Emperor learned of Hanako's research and works about how to reform the Empire's laws. [1] She eagerly agreed to assist him, and the Emperor named her his Chancellor, [2] and followed with Hantei XVIII. [3]
Articles of Heaven Edit
Hanako took this opportunity not only to correct the misdeeds of the previous emperor, but also to enact a variety of reforms into which she had put great thought. In 622, her reforms, called the Articles of Heaven, became the new basis for Rokugani law. [2] [4]
Vassal Family Edit
Hanako was granted her own vassal family, the Hanako. [5]

I stayed here for a couple of days at the end of July. As others have said, the hotel is showing its age. The decor is old and my room was on the gloomy side. Having said that, everything worked, it was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was fantastic, the air con kept my room at a comfortable temperature, the staff were very helpful and pleasant, the breakfast was great and it was quiet at night. What more can you ask for. I did not get chance to try the swimming pool, but as I shall no doubt be visiting Tianjin again on business I shall stay at the Sheraton again.

No Property Bubble Yet in Australia, Says IMF
For years, pessimists have been calling an Australian housing bubble. Now, with prices back above their 2010 peak– when the central bank was raising interest rates to cool the market– those fears are again resurfacing.
But there's no cause for alarm, says the International Monetary Fund in a new paper. It backs up the Reserve Bank's necessarily optimistic view that Australia's booming property market hasn't yet become a threat to the nation's fragile economic recovery.
In its annual scorecard on the Australian economy Thursday, the IMF said recent sharp house-price gains were "regionally concentrated" in cities like Sydney and Melbourne and that lending to homebuyers remained "moderate."
But the IMF also warns against complacency.

The White House has informed Congress that its fiscal 2014 budget, due to be submitted to Congress next month, will be late.
No surprise there. The law requires the president to send his projected annual budget to Congress by the first Monday in February. That would be Feb. 4 this year.
With some justice, the White House Office of Management and Budget blamed the delay on the wrangling over the ôfiscal cliff,ö which wasnĺt concluded until Jan. 2. The office says it is working ôdiligentlyö to ready the 2014 budget.
But, with a helping hand from an uncooperative Congress, none of the annual budgets for which the Obama administration has been fully responsible has arrived on time. His first budget didnĺt arrive until early May and the next two were late, but at least they arrived in the right month.
Congress then rewrites that budget and appropriates the funds necessary to carry it out, a process that is supposed to be wrapped up by Oct. 1 -- the start of the fiscal year. It is a deadline that Congress has almost never met, going back to the 1980s.
Congress still has not passed a budget for the current year, thanks largely to obstacles of its own making, such as the automatic ôsequestration.ö And these delays and squabbles have consequences.
For example, senior leaders of the military wrote that, absent a defense budget, ôWe are on the brink of creating a hollow force,ö with aircraft grounded, warships kept in port, combat vehicles parked and training reduced by almost half.
Leon Panetta, who is stepping down as defense secretary, said that without a 2013 budget, ôWe have no idea what the hellĺs going to happen. All told, this uncertainty, if left unresolved by the Congress, will seriously harm our military readiness.ö
Perhaps Congress should adopt something like the ôbroken windowö theory thatĺs been successful in law enforcement. In brief, the theory goes that cracking down on minor nuisance crimes leads to a reduction in major crimes.
The lawmakers could start modestly Ś say, by meeting their own deadlines and working a full year. Who knows? Good things might follow.

Author Tags: Fiction, Travel
As a retired elementary school principal, overcoming the loss of her eldest son to leukemia, Sandra Harper volunteered to assist the Africa Canadian Continuing Education Society (A.C.C.E.S.), a British Columbia-based non-governmental organization that funds education scholarships and literacy centers in Kakamenga, Kenya. After her six months in Kakamega, a poor community with high unemployment in the Western Province of Kenya, where only forty-two percent of children attend primary school, Harper wrote Inside Kenya - Creating Tomorrow (Hawthorne, 2004), a collection of twelve portraits of Kenyans she met and admired. Specifically these twelve Kenyans, having been given the opportunity to attend post-secondary education in Canada, were back in Kenya, educating others. All proceeds from her independently published book go to an A.C.C.E.S. Scholarship Fund.
As a teacher and principal, Sandra Harper published numerous articles, consulted on an award-winning textbook and edited two journals. Her doctorate research focused on how people change when required to adapt to something new. Since 2000, Harper's focus has been travel writing, consulting, professional speaking and volunteering. Her first travel memoir looks at Spanish and Muslim cultures in Morocco, Tunisia and Spain. Her self-published novel Not Until Now looks at the life and two main loves of pioneer B.C. architect Francis Rattenbury.

Visual Calendar for Tablets Review
Don't rely on boring text for your calendar: get visual on your Android device
Days can become very packed and a simple calendar sometimes makes it even more difficult to see what you need to do each day. Visual Calendar aims to make things easier by giving you pictorial representations of your days and weeks, and then allowing you to link them together so you can get a feel for which of the events are connected.
To start with, the calendar looks like any other. You view the week with the days in columns and the times in rows, but it is otherwise blank. It is possible to import calendars such as Google's, but we had a bit of trouble with this; it wouldn't bring in our events for some reason. However, it is a useful function to have from the start.
On this calendar, you can place your day-to-day tasks and events. This is done by finding a vacant spot on your calendar and then double tapping. It allows you to create an event, each of which starts off in the same way. That is, you see a circle with four items branching off from it. The circle is your core task and the branches are the extras that you can add to this in order to tailor your event.
The first thing to do is name your event, and this is easily done with a tap on the line that appears next to the circle. Then you need to choose the priority. Events can be colour-coded so that you can see in an instant which event is related to another and also better organise your day with a good visual representation. It is also possible to include an icon. For example. you may need to catch transport at a certain time, in which case you can use an icon of a train, so straight away you'll know what it means.
The app also allows you to set a reminder, and you can have up to two of these for one event. You are able to select how many times you want to repeat the reminder so you can be sure you won't forget it. But there's more: by tapping on the More tab you can describe your event and give it a location using Google Maps. If you have an attachment, this too can be linked to your event.
Once an event is in place, it can be moved around at will by long tapping and then moving. Double tapping allows for an edit. It is the linked events, however, that will prove most useful in the long run. In Edit mode there is a '+' icon that when tapped, reveals a Drag Me circle on your calendar linked to the event you have edited. You can now drag that circle on to another event and the two will suddenly link.
This is great if you have lots of work-related events that are connected. For instance, perhaps you are meeting a client at a certain time and you're catching a train to get there – these events can be linked. There may be another link between a piece of work and a phone call you need to make, and so on.
With the ability to draw on the contacts you have stored on your device, you have what shapes up to be the perfect calendar. It is easy to use when you get the hang of it, building on the functions that Google Calendar brings and making it even more user friendly.
It would be good to have a choice of calendar views, however. It would also be useful to have a delete option whereby you could drag one of your unwanted icons to trash. At times we were linking and then finding it laborious to unlink them. It's a small gripe, for sure, but we would like to see this implemented in future versions.
As it stands, however, Visual Calendar for Tablets is a wonderful app that combines the functional with more than a hint of flair. It should make for better planning and easier recognition of tasks, which is, after all, the main function of a calendar.
Building on Google Calendar, the visual angle and innovative linking facility make this worth looking at.
