News Releases by Year
The National Association of Realtors® commends President Obama for pledging to assist homeowners and the struggling housing market, because restoring the health of the housing market is critical for the nation's economic recovery.
After reaching a 19-month high, pending home sales eased in December but stayed above year-ago levels, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, declined 3.5 percent to 96.6 in December from 100.1 in November but is 5.6 percent above December 2010 when it was 91.5. The data reflects contracts but not closings.
NAR commends President Obama for his remarks in support of homeowners and the struggling housing market during tonight's State of the Union address. As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS® know that restoring the health of the housing market is the only way to achieve a broader economic recovery.
HouseLogic.com has launched a new online sweepstakes. Readers who leave comments on a blog featured at the site will have a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card. The sweepstakes is part of a special do-it-yourself blog series, "Water-Wise Bathroom Redo."
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said these are early signs of what may be a sustained recovery. "The pattern of home sales in recent months demonstrates a market in recovery," he said. "Record low mortgage interest rates, job growth and bargain home prices are giving more consumers the confidence they need to enter the market."
Since it opened in May 2009, the REALTORS® Federal Credit Union has become a significant benefit among National Association of Realtor® members, offering a diverse portfolio of services and products. Since then, REALTORS® FCU has experienced unprecedented growth in membership.
REALTORS® have always been active in their communities, and thanks to REALTOR® Magazine's Good Neighbor Society, they can become even bigger assets to those in need through the Volunteering Works program. The program, which matches REALTORS® who would like to expand their community service outreach with a mentor, is now seeking entries
Continuing education is now available in 20 states across the country for several courses including some of NAR's most popular certifications and designations, which include ABR®, GREEN, SRES®, AHWD, BPOR, e-PRO®, SFR, and RPR™.
Stabilizing and restoring the health of the housing market is critical to a broader economic recovery, according to a white paper released yesterday by the Federal Reserve Board. Many of the issues and recommendations outlined in the paper support key principles established by NAR to help revitalize the housing industry and economy.

Often during the holiday season, we take time to reconnect with family and friends over a meal. We're able to do so because hardworking folks in rural America deliver the most abundant and affordable food supply on earth.
It's also the safest food supply - an achievement made possible by a wide range of skilled, dedicated people.
It all starts with our growers and processors, who are always asking how they can produce a safer product. They have the support of USDA staff at more than 6,000 plants around the country and at U.S. ports of entry. These experts inspect a wide range of food products before they're sent to the grocery store.
The Obama Administration has worked hard to strengthen our food safety efforts. Four years ago we created the President's Food Safety Working Group - which has brought together experts from across government and industry to improve food safety.
Since then, we've expanded testing of raw beef products to prevent dangerous pathogens from entering the food supply; in fact, new enforcement measures to detect additional strains of E. Coli began in March 2012.
USDA expects to prevent 25,000 more foodborne illnesses annually thanks to tougher standards we set for Salmonella and new standards for Campylobacter which will reduce the occurrence of these pathogens in poultry.
We've invested tens of millions of dollars on cutting-edge food safety research. And we're better coordinated than ever, thanks to a new Public Health Information System. This system allows us to track emerging trends, keeping us ahead of food safety threats and allowing us to take proactive steps to solve problems.
Finally, we are helping share information with consumers. Raw meat and poultry now include nutrition labels so Americans can make better-informed choices at the grocery store. Through our expanded "Ask Karen" web page, folks have a chance to get advice directly from a food safety expert. Consumers can visit www.fsis.usda.gov to use this tool and to learn more about preventing foodborne illness.
By preventing food contamination, we can save businesses and taxpayers from the costs of food recalls. We can help maintain the good name of American agriculture around the world. And most important of all, we can keep families safe from foodborne illnesses.
This holiday season, I encourage Americans to stay informed about food safety as they enjoy time with family and friends. I also hope everyone will join me in thanking the farmers who grow our food, and the dedicated Federal employees who help keep it safe.

D-backs recall De La Rosa to fill 'pen void
ATLANTA -- The D-backs recalled lefty Eury De La Rosa from Triple-A Reno on Saturday after sending southpaw reliever Joe Thatcher and outfielder Tony Campana to the Angels in a trade for two prospects -- outfielder Zach Borenstein and right-hander Joey Krehbiel.
De La Rosa made 19 appearances out of Arizona's bullpen in 2013, giving up five home runs and compiling a 7.36 ERA in 14 2/3 innings. He owns a 2.52 ERA and has struck out 36 batters in 39 1/3 innings of relief for the Aces this season.
"He's got good stuff. He can get guys out -- lefties and righties," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "A good changeup, he's got the stuff to get righties out as well. … It's good when you can leave the guy in there. You don't have to pull him out just because he can't get a right-handed guy out, so we're hoping he can do that."
Reliever Brad Ziegler added: "He's definitely qualified. He's had a good year in Triple-A. He's been up here before and got his feet wet and he knows what it takes to succeed here. We're guessing we can throw him in the same situations as we put Thatcher in and we're going to get the same results."
Walks hurt De La Rosa last season, as he issued 3.1 free passes per nine innings in the Majors. He has not shown much improvement in that area this season, as he has walked 4.6 batters per nine, down from his rate of 4.9 with the Aces in 2013.
"Thatcher used to walk a lot of guys, too," Gibson said. "[Bullpen coach Mel Stottlemyre] and [pitching coach Mike Harkey] did a good job with him. We're going to try to use him right. Put him in a situation where [De La Rosa] can throw the ball more consistently, throw it over the plate and get outs."
However, De La Rosa should fit right in to a D-backs bullpen that led the National League and ranked second in the Majors with 287 strikeouts entering Saturday. The 5-foot-9 De La Rosa has fanned 9.5 per nine innings in 332 career innings in the Minor Leagues.
"He's pretty nasty, especially [since] he's not very big," Ziegler said. "I think he catches a lot of hitters off guard with how good his stuff is."
Should he make an appearance during this weekend's series at Turner Field, De La Rosa likely has a good chance to build on his ratio of 9.8 strikeouts per nine in the Majors. Braves batters entered Saturday ranked fifth among all teams with 728 strikeouts.
"He's been up here before, he's got a little bit of experience," Gibson said. "He should get comfortable quickly. He should be more comfortable this time being up than he was in previous stints. He can do it."

More than any other fruit they buy, consumers consider grapes a snack food, according to the California Table Grape Commission.
Research by the Fresno-based commission found 74% of shoppers bought grapes for between-meal snacks, and 82% of mothers surveyed bought them for their children for the same purpose.
The 16 different shopper types identified by the commission can be classified in two main groups: 45% are impulse buys and 55% are planned ahead. Altogether, 33% of shoppers always decide to buy grapes before entering the store.
The commission recommends retailers aim pricing for a middle range after finding more than half of shoppers cited price as a purchase reason. Consumers are put off by prices that seem too low as well as those that appear too high, the research found. Even so, 40% said they buy fresh fruit if they want it, regardless of price.
Two-thirds of consumers studied said signs indicating grapes are on sale is an incentive to purchase them. Forty percent agreed that they read signs to learn more about the nutritional benefits of specific fruits.
The practice of sampling divided consumers; 38% sample from the bag while in the store, but many still consider it unethical or illegal, the commission found.
Clean and attractive displays were identified as an incentive to impulse purchases.

Smash, Channel Seven, 10.40pm
AS IT reaches the penultimate episode of its first season, this lavishly staged drama about putting on a show continues its love affair with Broadway. It remains passionately devoted to the theatre and all its colourful characters, revelling in the whole messy, stress-filled process of developing, producing, casting and staging a musical: the insecurities, rivalries and betrayals, the romances and infidelities, the fear and the elation. As the cast and crew of Bombshell head to Boston for the ''tech'' runs of the show, the production is rocked by the sudden departure of a key player, which has particular implications for Julia (Debra Messing). Tom (Christian Borle) meets Sam's family, Ivy (Megan Hilty) frets about the fidelity of director Derek (Jack Davenport), and Dev (Raza Jaffrey) arrives unexpectedly for quality time with Karen (Katharine McPhee). But Sam (Leslie Odom jnr) encapsulates the show's thrust when, acknowledging the potential pitfalls and transitory nature of a life as a dancer, he declares, ''This is what theatre is: it's joy one day and it's gone the next. It's like a religion.''
7.30, ABC1, 7.30pm
EVEN with the improvements initiated by executive producer Sally Neighbour, who joined the ABC's weeknight current-affairs program in February, 7.30 can still be a bit stolid. But it undeniably has its qualities, and reliably solid reporting is one of them. If you're looking for the program that will provide a round-up of the day's events in Canberra, or a comprehensive overview of ongoing stories, such as concerns about the abuse of prescription painkillers, this is where you're most likely to find them. Host Leigh Sales is a class act, the former foreign correspondent and Lateline host bringing broad knowledge and precise interviewing skills to her role. However, the recent rumour that John Clarke and Bryan Dawe's satirical segment, a Thursday night fixture, might be in jeopardy is cause for alarm. Since relocating from A Current Affair 12 years ago, the segment has been a distinctive asset and it would be foolish to axe it under the mistaken belief it has passed its use-by date.
Mike & Molly, Channel Nine, 10pm
THIS unlikely charmer from the Chuck Lorre comedy factory, which also produces Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, launches itself from the dubious premise that two fat people falling in love is inherently hilarious. But the surprising kicker comes from the fact that, much of the time, the humour works, even if it doesn't exactly dazzle. As the show encourages viewers to care about its loveable leads, a large helping of the appeal comes from the casting of Melissa McCarthy as sweet and sparky schoolteacher Molly Flynn, and Billy Gardell as the slightly gruff teddy bear of a cop Mike Biggs. The dialogue is tart and peppy and the sure hand of seasoned comedy director James Burrows is felt in the snappy pacing and nicely modulated supporting roles. In terms of moving along at a clip and not outstaying its welcome, it probably helps this Thanksgiving-themed episode weighs in at a puny 18 minutes.
The Strange Calls, ABC2, 9.30pm
CREATED, directed, produced and written by Daley Pearson, this happily hokey hybrid blends horror, deadpan comedy and small-town shenanigans. Set in the Queensland coastal town of Coolum, the six-part series follows the adventures of an earnest new arrival, police officer Banks (Toby Truslove). He's been assigned to the late shift in the police caravan and dutifully deals with all manner of weirdness as he endeavours to make sense of events and acquaint himself with the somewhat eccentric mores of the place. He's aided, or possibly diverted, in this by Gregor (Barry Crocker), ostensibly a widower and a man with a passion for board games and the TV show Blossom. Tonight, Banks faces hostile teenagers, an unsympathetic boss (Patrick Brammall), murderous cats, agitated birdwatchers, imperiled cuckoo-shrikes and the possible interest of caterer Kath (Katherine Hicks). A little creaky, but likeably nutty.
Highlight: The Melbourne Cup, Channel Seven, 10am
EVERYTHING you need to know about the Melbourne Cup - or at least its importance in the minds of the nation - was summed up when an ABC Radio newsreader announced that the Duchess of Cornwall ''will have the honour'' of presenting the silverware to the winner. Lucky next-in-line-to-the-throne!
You can argue until the last shoeless, reeling damsel has been carried out of the car park about the extent to which Australia really is a sporting nation, but there's no question that on this day everyone - even those with absolutely no interest in horse-racing for the other 364 days of the year - will be glued to the telly, cheering home a horse they possibly only heard of 15 minutes ago. Which is kind of odd, given that racing, rather than betting on the races, is really a rich man's sport. (Indeed, while I'm sure it takes skill, nerve and stamina to ride the gallops, is it even a sport?)
From the members' stand and the Birdcage to the millions of dollars it takes to bring a horse to the mounting yard (let alone the winning post), it's the ultimate in elitism. Yet such is the mythology of the Cup, enlarged over the centuries, it has somehow simultaneously come to be regarded as the people's race. The public has helped make it so, of course, with its gorilla suits and black-tie T-shirts and wildly inappropriate consumption of alcohol. I've never been to Ascot, but I'm pretty sure the grounds aren't full of tottering twentysomethings the way Flemington will be today.
Beyond that, though, something about this race touches the public imagination. Even those of us who will be stone-cold sober and many kilometres from the action will watch, and hold our breath, and care, even if it's just for the few seconds it takes to cover the distance.
So it's no wonder Channel Seven is throwing everything at its broadcast once again. Three hundred staff and 50 cameras have been assigned to the week's coverage (sadly, none of those cameras will be HD). And there's a substantial quotient of talent on screen to cover every aspect of the day. Bruce McAvaney will be presiding over proceedings with his trademark ebullience and, of course, encyclopedic knowledge.
Riding shotgun will be racing royalty Richard Freedman and former jockey Simon Marshall.
I have loved the inclusion of Francesca Cumani during the past few years. Too few mainstream sports in Australia (if racing is, in fact, a sport) have female commentators. She always has something intelligent to contribute. And then, of course, there's that other aspect to Cup day that for many is the real reason to tune in: the frocks. This year we're celebrating 50 years of fashions on the field, so as well as ogling the love or laugh-at outfits of the hopefuls this year, we'll get to see a bit of a retrospective of fashions past. What's not to like?

Parts of the scrubs marathon yesterday.
Latest episode of Mad Men On Demand HD. That might have been one of the finest hours of television that I have ever seen. Just fantastic.
Man i really need to watch the first season of that. I've seen bits and pieces and really liked it. I've got the second season taping on my dvr, but i won't watch it till i see the first season. The only problem would be that it would make me want to smoke, which would be bad.
I think I need to take a break from Prison Break. Starting to get annoyed with a few characters (especially with Veronica, the lawyer; can't really figure out whether it's bad acting or just...I don't know, the person), and with a few things happening over and over again. I'm at episode 16 now, 1st season.

Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew Battle for the VMA's- IN one word.......Sucked.
America's Got Talent-In 2 words, REALLY SUCKED.
Season premier of the shield.
Rasko my advise would be to just stop watching and forget that you ever saw an episode. it is only downhill from the first season.
I watched a lot of rerun shows.
Top Chef
Corner Gas
King of Queens
Can't stop watching now...must see everything.
Word on the street is he doesn't want your money, he only wants to please your ears...

Bones Season Premier.
Excellent, and quite funny with the added location of London.
The wire. Such goodness is that show.
Also saw Big Bro which was good per the Usual
Premier episode of Sons of Anarchy.
Kick @SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit Signature
That's hard to say because I have only been able to watch one episode. However if I compare the pilot of the shield to the pilot of Sons of Anarchy I would have to say yes, it's very close.
There are a lot, & I mean a lot, of characters in this show who have been around in other shows. Rohn Perlman everybody knows, but Katy Segal (yes Peggy Bundy) is in this show and she has never EVER played a character like this. She is brilliant btw.
Mitch Pilligi (Skinner from the X-files) plays the leader of a nazi skin head gang.
However the commercial for episode two looks like they are going to bring in another shield cast member. Jay Karnes (Dutch) will be coming on board as an ATF agent.
This show is deep in plot so I think it will be on par with the shield.
Also the creator of the show Kurt Sutter was one of the writers of the shield and actually he plays Margos Dezerian on the shield.
You should give it a chance.
Scrubs, Magnum PI, and 70's show.
Dexter Season 3 Premiere
Good episode.
How did you watch Dexter season 3????? Did you see it on Showtime or download?
[~]) ... Cheers! Go Pacers!
The first episode I downloaded online. It is a great hi-def copy. No bugs and no waiting for whenever it is supposed to air.
Prison break - season 2, 'till episode 16.
I still really like it. Sometimes it's a bit over the top, but that doesn't bother me that much.
Word on the street is he doesn't want your money, he only wants to please your ears...

The Shield: the final season episode 2.
Building to the end. Right now there are about a hundred differant ways they could end this.
FWIW, Peck, I think you'd be pleased (or at least amused) that I just finished watching the 1st season of DS9 on my iPod.
It's been a long time...at this point of the series, I fully understand why the Cardassians killed lots and lots of Bajorans. They're a whiny, obnoxious bunch.
Weeds Season 4 Episode 12.
One episode left in the season.

The Boston Red Sox are interested in acquiring Pittsburgh Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan, according to The Boston Globe. And CBSSports.com reports the Los Angeles Dodgers also are in the mix for the righthanded reliever.
Hanrahan, 31, went 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 36 saves for the Pirates last season. He struck out 67 batters in 59 2/3 innings. In 2011, he was 1-4 with a 1.83 ERA, 40 saves and 61 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings. Hanrahan has been an All-Star each of the past two seasons.
According to The Boston Globe, the Red Sox have long admired Hanrahan and tried to acquire him as far back as 2010. They likely would have to sacrifice a starting pitcher (perhaps Franklin Morales or Alfredo Aceves) to get him. The newspaper speculates that the Red Sox's interest in Hanrahan is evidence that they aren't sold on Andrew Bailey, who missed most of the 2012 season because of injuries, as their closer.
As for the Dodgers, they already have two closer options in Brandon League and Kenley Jansen but apparently would like to have plenty of late-inning depth. USA TODAY reports Pittsburgh could request SS Dee Gordon from the Dodgers in a deal for Hanrahan. Meanwhile, CBSSports.com reports the Dodgers also have interest in Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez.
The Pirates likely would use Jason Grilli as their closer if they deal Hanrahan.

Newswires were reporting Monday that at least 85 people had died as a result of the hostage crisis at the In Amenas gas plant in southeastern Algeria, which began on Jan.16 when Islamist militants attacked the facility. The reports indicated that at least 32 of those killed in the operation to recover the In Amenas facility, which ended Saturday, were Islamist attackers.
On Sunday morning UK Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that three UK citizens had died as a result of the hostage crisis. Since then, BP confirmed Sunday evening that four of its employees were still missing while two out of the 14 of its staff who are now safe and secure sustained non-life threatening injuries.
However, despite reports naming BP workers as among the victims in the UK press, BP said that it would not disclose the names of any of its personnel who were unaccounted for when Rigzone contacted the company Monday morning .
The press reports named Paul Morgan, a former soldier who was in charge of security at the In Amenas site, Kenneth Whiteside, from Glenrothes, Scotland, and Garry Barlow, from Liverpool, England, as having died in the hostage crisis. A Colombian BP employee, Carlos Estrada, was also named as a victim in the reports.
BP also confirmed that it has completed its plans to bring non-essential staff out of Algeria from Salah, Hassi Messaoud and other locations where it had workers in the country.
Statoil, meanwhile, has issued the names of five of its Norwegian employees who are still missing. They are: Tore Bech, a 58-year old from Bergen; Hans M. Bjone, a 55-year old from Brandbu; Victor Sneberg, a 56-year old from Sandnes; Thomas Snekkevik, a 35-year old from Austrheim/Bergen; and Alf Vik, a 43-year old from Grimsted.
In a statement Sunday evening (Norway time), Statoil CEO Helge Lund said:
"We stand together at this difficult time and are now thinking of the families' deep uncertainty and despair. We ask that everyone show them consideration in this difficult situation. We will do what we can to support them,"
Statoil also announced Monday morning that all flags at the company's facilities would fly at half-mast for one week from noon Monday (Central European Time).

Oil&GasGuy | Jan. 22, 2013With reports that the gas plant complained about the lack of security to BP maybe that is why the plant became a target and BP once again demonstrated to the world how business is not supposed to be done. Since 2005 BP has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Now they have failed in all areas of Health, Safety, Security and Environment. I think it is time that a O&G company with a good reputation takeover BP so we can stop reading about how not to do business in the O&G business. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/algeria/9809915/Algeria-hostage-crisis-BP-moves-staff-and-families-out-of-country.html

Butler ejected for second time in career
KANSAS CITY -- Designated hitter Billy Butler became the second Royals player ejected in two days by umpire Marty Foster.
Butler was tossed after objecting to a called strike three in the fifth inning of Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Angels. After discussing the call with Foster, Butler was guided away from the umpire and toward the dugout by third-base coach Eddie Rodriguez. Once on the bench, however, Butler made some remarks that got him thrown out.
"We had a disagreement. I'm not the only one that had disagreements with him this series," Butler said. "He said some things to me I didn't like and it got me fired up."
Second baseman Chris Getz was ejected by Foster in Saturday's 7-0 loss for commentary on a close call at first base in which Getz was called out. Getz also was involved in controversial call by Foster in Friday night's 5-2 loss when Getz thought he'd tagged out the Angels' Mike Trout stealing second base.
This was the second ejection in Butler's career. He was tossed last Sept. 13 at Minnesota for arguing balls and strikes. Foster also ejected Angels manager Mike Scioscia in the ninth inning on Sunday.

Re: Haven't been here for awhile but need to talk
Charlene, I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time--I lost my husband and best friend Feb. 2008. Every day is hard, but I found a support group of younger widows through the funeral home. We still meet once a month for dinner to share our thoughts-this has been very helpful to me. Be as strong as you can-John would be proud of you.

AKRON (AP) -- Authorities say an elderly man carrying an umbrella that was mistaken for a rifle led to a brief panic and lock-down at a northeast Ohio high school.
Police say an employee at Hudson High School in the Akron area reported the man in a hunting cap carrying what looked like a rifle Wednesday morning.
Principal Brian Wilch told the Akron Beacon Journal that doors were immediately barricaded and an alert sent to parents.
The lockdown was canceled after the man was located and identified.
Wilch said "everyone is on edge" after the shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school last week that killed 20 children and six adults.
In Medina, south of Cleveland, authorities locked down an elementary school Wednesday morning after an empty shell casing was found.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters last week that "the most immediate threat to our ability to achieve our mission is fiscal uncertainty, not knowing what our budget will be, not knowing if our budget will be drastically cut, and not knowing whether the strategy that we put in place can survive."
His comments were reported in the VFW Washington Report on Jan. 11. The Department of Defense is moving ahead with its budget reduction planning primarily because of the inability of Congress to pass a defense bill or deal with the looming threat of sequestration, which could add additional half-trillion in defense cuts on top of the $487 billion already agreed to for units not immediately deploying to many other cuts. Federal civilian defense employees would also be hit with unpaid furloughs.
Korean War 60th Anniversary: Planning continues to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the armistice signing that brought a tentative end to the Korean War, a brutal three-year conflict that resulted in almost 1,000 U.S. combat deaths and 3,000 woundings per month. The event will be July 27 in Washington, D.C., according to the Defense Department's Korean War Commemoration Committee. All Korean War veterans and their families and descendants are invited to help remember the sacrifice of all who served. The DoD committee is authorized to accept donations -- all tax deductible -- to help offset the cost of the commemoration.
At Fisher Houses, military families share a roof and sometimes their grief: "The fallout of two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has fueled a Fisher House building boom," according to a report in the Washington Post. Fisher Houses "offer free lodging to members of the military, veterans and their relatives who need treatment at the nearby military of Veterans Affairs hospital."
The Post added, "Operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the military, the 58 Fisher Houses in the United States and Germany are built" by the nonprofit Fisher House Foundation. The Post gives examples of bonding that occurs between families staying at Fisher Houses.
VFW Post 6768 Ladies plan Valentine's Day reverse raffle: A reverse raffle breakfast will be Feb. 10, from 9 a.m. until noon at VFW Post 6768, according to President Mary Volny. The event will feature a $1,000 draw down, sideboards, 50/50 and Chinese auction. Tickets, at $20 each, are available at the post. Only 150 tickets will be sold.
Volny adds that the auxiliary will sponsor fish fries from Feb. 15, through Good Friday, March 29. She suggests that you visit the post's website for the menu and phone number to call in orders at vfwpost6768.com.
For those of you who email information about your post or auxiliary activities, please send them to email@example.com. My new mailing address is 7065 West 130th St., Apt. 120 E, Parma Heights, 44130-7805. Thanks
JVC installation and awards dinner: The Joint Veterans Commission of Cuyahoga County will sponsor its annual installation and awards dinner, Feb. 13, at the Embassy Suites in Independence. Cost: $30 until deadline of Jan. 21. Social starts at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. For more information, call any one of the 18 participating groups of the JVC.
Remember to write a letter and send a package of goodies to your favorite man and woman serving America in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at other troublesome assignments around the world.
I'm often reminded how important that letter from home was to me. It was, indeed, the highlight of my day.
Take a moment to write and to say a prayer for their safe return.
God bless.

Ok. So I've come to the conclusion after reading some suttas and listening to a few talks that jhanic practice is fundamental to developing vipassana or insight. I have a copy of U Pandita's book 'In This Very Life' and he says there are two different jhanas. Samatha jhana and vipassana jhana. Now I've never heard of this and from what I've read about jhana, I've never come across jhana being divided into two types. This seems odd to me and I'd like to know what basis there is for this. Any suttas make this distinction? Also, has this been a view held by the Sangha since the time of the Buddha or is it something new (which is what I'm guessing)? That's all for now.
With metta,

Jose ready to go seven innings in opener
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- As a rookie a year ago, Jose Fernandez was restricted by an innings limit that ended up being at 172 2/3.
When the 21-year-old takes the mound on Monday in the Marlins' season opener against the Rockies at Marlins Park, Fernandez projects to be built up enough to throw seven innings.
The Spring Training plan was to get all the starters ready to reach 100 pitches in their first starts.
"I think everyone is ready to pitch seven innings and throw 110 pitches if we need to," pitching coach Chuck Hernandez said.
Fernandez reached 98 pitches on Tuesday against the Cardinals in his final Grapefruit League start.
The way the schedule was laid out, Fernandez will get an extra day of rest before facing the Rockies on Monday.
"Pitching-wise, we've got them where we want it," Hernandez said. "Based on their youth and their arms, that's how I like to treat young ones. Older guys, I'd probably throw a little bit more. Everyone is going to get another day of rest, which I wanted."

The objects of sculptor Peter Iannarelli are seemingly commonplace in nature, yet the artist cleverly liberates the forms through the tinkering of their materiality. By utilizing both logic and abstraction, Iannarelli reduces the forms to a common denominator linking and balancing concept with form. The work, which is seemingly accessible to a wide audience, offers depth beyond its initial appearance. Using familiar materials, the artist[…..]

Whether it's running a post route or a kickoff return, Randall Cobb is one of the most versatile players in the NFL.
"That was always my goal and to actually live it out is a blessing," said Cobb. "I remember nights in high school I would just come out here and walk around the field, and I'd think to myself where I wanted to be in five years."
For him, it's still surreal, but probably little surprise to those who watched the Alcoa native grow up.
"At 7 and 8, I was playing football in that little bitty field next to Alcoa High School."
A shy kid, Cobb was all about sports, always wanting a ball over a toy. And, on fall Saturdays, he had a sweet gig 13 miles from home selling hot dogs inside Neyland Stadium.
"I would sell all my hot dogs and I'd go back and turn in my money and sit on the steps and watch the game."
He liked Tennessee football, but followed players more than teams like Todd Helton and his favorite, Tee Martin.
"Growing up here I watched him play and watched him win a National Championship."
However, early on, Cobb thought basketball was his ticket
"And then, I realized in middle school I wasn't going to be 6'4."
At 5 foot 10 inches, he continued to play and was a three-sport athlete at Alcoa: football, basketball, track.
"I was always a hard worker, so continuing to get better and better with each year has always been a strong point for me."
That hard work paid off. The tornadoes were four-time state champions during Cobb's high school career. He watched two from the bench and the last two as a starter earning the title Mr. Football his senior year. Cobb got offers from both the University of Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State University and verbally committed to the Wildcats.
"And I was stoked about that."
Then, Tennessee, the team he grew up watching, finally took notice and made a late offer.
"I just didn't feel that it was right for me. I made the decision that would be best for my future and I think it's paid off well."
As a freshman, Cobb didn't start his first game at Kentucky, but after scoring two touchdowns in the last five minutes of a comeback win against Arkansas, the left-hander started every game after. And, at season's end, Cobb was the only athlete in the nation playing both quarterback and punt returner. To date, he holds Kentucky's all-time record for total touchdowns.
"Kentucky will always be a special place to me because that's where I believe I became a man."
His only regret is coming up short against Tennessee.
"I never did beat them."
Cobb left his senior year to enter the 2011 draft. He and his family watched and waited in the Big Apple.
"Green Bay took me with the last pick of the second round."
He'll never forget that phone call.
"Just seeing the excitement on all my family members face looking around the table, it was a special moment for me."
It was also life-changing with a $3 million contract and endorsements. Not bad considering he had no idea where Green Bay was.
"Lambeau Field, the frozen tundra-- that's all I knew."
Cobb made quite an impression during his professional debut with a 108-yard kickoff return, tying the longest in NFL history. In just three years, Cobb has racked up impressive stats, but his off the field presence is also something to be applauded.
"It's not about me. It's never about me."
His priorities are faith, family, football, and serving others with a humble heart.
"It's not about what I do, it's how I do it. It's about giving back to those who can benefit from my gain."
Whether it's Cobb's youth football camp or the backpack food program he started in Alcoa schools.
"I know it can be taken away from me at any time."
Cobb learned that lesson week six at Baltimore after a fractured fibula sidelined him six to eight weeks. He's staying positive though and catching up on TV.
"In my free time that's my way of relaxing."
And you can bet Wisconsin's winter will have him pining for East Tennessee summer.
"I like the humidity."
He also likes the taste of home from his grandmother's cooking.
"She makes this cube steak with gravy and cream corn."
And his favorite restaurant is Bread of Heaven.
Randall Cobb, born in Alcoa, HomeGrown in Tennessee.
"Being from here has taught me a lot about character and about influence."

'The 4-3 lead stood until McGinn found the net with under 2 seconds remaining in regulation. Following a flurry around Miller, a loose puck dribbled between the goaltender's pads, slid toward the goalline, and was pushed into the net by McGinn. It marked the second straight game in which Buffalo gave up a game-tying goal in the waning seconds of the game. After a scoreless overtime period, the two sides went to a shootout where Peter Mueller beat Miller for the lone goal.'

UPDATE: Ten boats have now sunk and the rescue of the remaining boats is being hampered because people are turning up and ad-hoc leaving their cars. This is not helping the efforts.
Boats sinking in Porthleven harbour
More spectacular storm footage from Jon Carrol in Porthleven
This one from Nick.
Fishermen and the emergency services are battling to remove boats from Porthleven's inner harbour this morning in a bid to save them from sinking.
The power of the waves has already seen the balks (large pieces of wood) fail between the inner and outer harbour.
It means that the waves are now rolling through the normally protected inner harbour – and the boats sheltering in there.
Six or seven boats have already been sunk as a result and now a rescue bid is on to save others from the clutches on the sea.
One of the port's historic cannons, close to the Ship Inn, is also teetering perilously close to the edge of the harbour, having been dragged there by the gale force winds.
Packet photographer Christine Hosey has been out and about taking pictures morning and described the boats in the harbour as being "tossed around like toys", adding: "A still photo doesn't do it justice."
She said: "I've never, ever seen waves so big. It's horrendous."

People in Wales have been warned to brace themselves for flooding and disruption as the next band of heavy rainfall approaches.
The principality was given a taster of Monday's forecasted big storm last night as strong winds swept in westwards - resulting in ferry services being cancelled as well as speed limits on the M4 being reduced to as low as 40mph.
But more yet to come as o fficials from the Welsh Government's Natural Resources Wales say rainfall totals of up to 60mm over a short duration overnight could lead to flooding from surface water and rivers.
A spokesman said: "While all of Wales can expect heavy rainfall, the worst affected areas are likely to be Powys, Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Wrexham.
"The rainfall is likely to be accompanied by strong winds, which combined could cause localised flooding with fallen leaves, branches and debris causes blockages in drains, streams and rivers."
Strong winds expected late Sunday and during the early hours of Monday morning could also cause large waves along the Pembrokeshire and South Wales coasts.
And with sea spray along coastal paths and coastal roads expected, people have been advised to take extra care.
"Officers have been monitoring river levels closely and checking flood defences over the weekend and will continue to keep a close eye on the situation," the Natural Wales spokesman added.
"Staff will be on standby to deal with incidents and to remove any blockages in rivers which may pose a flood risk."
People have also reminded that flood water can be "extremely dangerous", and are urged not "to walk or drive through it" unless instructed by the emergency services.
Council officials in Rhondda Cynon Taff said their staff were doing everything possible in preparation.
Cabinet member and councillor Andrew Morgan said local authority staff had been filling lorries with sandbags and additional chainsaws had been acquired in the event of any falling trees.
"There are also additional crews standing by to cover the call centre if we have a large volume of calls for assistance," he added.
Also, utilities firm Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has asked customers to work with them to keep sewers flowing through wet weather.
Company director Steve Wilson said: "Our engineers will be on high alert to respond to any issues which may occur on our wastewater network.
"The network does get placed under increased pressure during this type of weather. Therefore, we would be grateful if customers could immediately notify us on issues they become aware of relating to it in their area via our 24 hour helpline."

Darvish not traveling with team to Seattle
ARLINGTON -- Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish, on the 15-day disabled list, will not travel with the team to Seattle for next week's three-game series against the Mariners.
Darvish was stretching and running along the warning track before Saturday's game during batting practice but has not thrown since being placed on the 15-day DL with inflammation in his right elbow Aug. 13. The Rangers' three-game series against the Mariners begins Monday and kicks off a 10-day road trip.
"He won't be available after these 15 days are over," said manager Ron Washington. "He hasn't picked up a ball yet."
Darvish could join the team in Houston or Kansas City on that trip, although there is also a chance he could miss all 10 games. Whether he needs a rehab start before returning to the Rangers has also yet to be determined. Darvish, who is 10-7 with a 3.06 ERA this season, is eligible to come off the disabled list Monday.
"He's going to stay here and continue to work and get treatment," Washington said. "I don't know how long he'll take to get started. He might be down for the whole 10 days."

This remarkably clever Dobsonian reflector telescope combines powerful 150mm-diameter (6") reflecting optics with point-and-view simplicity in one surprisingly portable package. With the included IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator system, even novice stargazers and their families can pinpoint the location of over 14,000 interesting celestial wonders stored in the computerized IntelliScope hand controller's databank. Using the Orion SkyQuest XT6i IntelliScope Dobsonian is like having your own personal tour guide to the universe!
Using the "push-to" Orion IntelliScope system is easy. Once a simple alignment procedure is completed, you just select an object to observe using the Computerized Object Locator's illuminated menu buttons (Galaxies, Clusters, Nebulas, etc.), or choose a pre-set tour of the best objects to view, then press the Enter button. The IntelliScope's high-resolution, 9,216-step digital encoders will then tell you how to manually direct the SkyQuest XT6i Dobsonian right to the object, placing it squarely in the telescope eyepiece.
The Orion SkyQuest XT6i Computerized IntelliScope houses a big 150mm parabolic mirror with 80% more light grasp than a 4.5" mirror, for brighter, more detailed views of night sky curiosities. The streamlined Dobsonian telescope base offers unflinching stability yet easy portability. While the telescope may appear bulky, it is actually quite easily portable, since it can be separated into two main sections: the optical tube, and the Dobsonian base.
The SkyQuest XT6i IntelliScope Dobsonian telescope comes equipped with a smooth 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser, removable telescope eyepiece rack, handy navigation knob for easy pointing, two Plossl telescope eyepieces (25mm and 10mm focal lengths), and a nice 6x30 right-angle correct-image finder scope. With accessories like these included, you're ready for night after night of family stargazing fun right out of the box!
When you use your XT6i IntelliScope Dobsonian telescope with the Computerized Object Locator you and your family will find out just how fun a smarter, well-made beginner's telescope can be. It's sure to open up imaginations to the wonders of the universe, and establish a lifelong appreciation of the great hobby of amateur astronomy.

Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.
Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.
Level 1 Beginner - Suited for a wide range of uses, these telescopes are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required. Very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment but just want to take a look. Any of these scopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulas! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 2 Intermediate - These scopes offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Level 3 Advanced - These scopes provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. They have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but are but on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These scopes will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
Level 4 Expert - Expert telescopes offer uncompromising optical and mechanical quality for the most demanding amateur astronomer. They may be technically involved or designed for specialized use, such as astrophotography or detailed deep sky observation. They carry a premium price, but are designed to provide the ultimate performance in the field. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.

Man faces felony in golf cart joyride
May 30, 2014
A Gardnerville Ranchos man admitted on Wednesday he'd been drinking in violation of his probation for driving under the influence and faces a felony charge in district court.
Timothy Daniel Grant, 28, was sentenced to 100 days in jail after Justice of the Peace Tom Perkins accepted the admission that Grant had violated probation.
Grant was arrested May 13 after deputies received a report that an intoxicated person was driving a golf cart near the 7-Eleven.
Deputies didn't find him when the call first came in, but waited for a bit and spotted Grant driving the golf cart on the shoulder along Topaz Lane near Arrowhead Road.
The deputy followed Grant onto Arrowhead Road, where Grant reportedly yelled "Yee haw!" and turned the car across the roadway directly in the deputy's path.
Grant told deputies he'd been drinking for four hours. A preliminary breath test revealed he had a .115 blood alcohol content. According to the sheriff's report Grant had been convicted of driving under the influence in 2011 and 2012.

■ A woman admitted to reckless driving causing an injury to a bicyclist.
Marsha Lynne Jose, 67, was released on Wednesday after entering the plea.
She told Perkins that she thought the bicyclist was someone else, and that she pulled in front of him in an effort to stop him on May 18 near Genoa Lane and Foothill Road in downtown.
She said she thought the bicyclist looked like her ex-boyfriend, so she pulled out in front of him, and he hit her car.
The man suffered from a cut knee and hurt shoulder according to the report.
She faces a six-month sentence and $1,000 fine after she admitted the misdemeanor. She told Perkins she would live with her sister until her July 2 sentencing.
■ A Yerington man who was arrested Cinco de Mayo with half an open bottle of pre-mixed margarita in his car pleaded guilty to charges related to his arrest.
Kenneth Benge, 44, told Perkins he wouldn't drive again. His license was suspended for a prior incident of driving under the influence, and he was supposed to have an ignition interlock device on his car. Sentencing in the case was delayed for two weeks.

10 Foods to Eat So You Never Have to Diet
Diners at restaurants with soft music and lighting eat 18 percent less overall — or about 175 fewer calories — according to a new study in the journal Psychological Reports. Bonus: Diners also report enjoying their meals more. Experts speculate that eating in a relaxed environment helps you slow down and savor your food, so in the end, you consume less.
A new study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics discovered that women who avoid eating lunch out tend to eat less overall calories. Study participants who went out to lunch at least once per week lost five pounds less than those who brought lunches from home."Eating in restaurants usually means less individual control over ingredients and cooking methods, as well as larger portion sizes," the authors wrote in the study. Try packing your salad in a sandwich-sized Tupperware container for easy portion control.

In this case, I also agree, especially because they are methods and not functions. I finally looked at the manual, which looks very informative. The only method names, I got stuck with, are Factor.L_D() versus Factor.LD() and warning with Factor.L() Factor.L() is Factor.L_inLL Factor.L_D() is Factor.L_inLDL and does L in Factor.solve_L() refer to L in LL or in LDL ? or is it irrelevant? just a comment from a non-expert Josef > _______________________________________________ > SciPy-Dev mailing list > email@example.com > http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-dev >

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erection after ejaculation
After my fiance and I have intercourse and I ejaculate, I cannot seem to get another erection. There are times she is ready for "another round" and I cannot get an erection. It is not that I don`t want to or do not have the urge. It just does not happen. What can I do?
Most men have intercourse once per evening, or per session. Commonly men age 16-25 can have a second intercourse per session. The reasons are unknown.

POR gets:
AJ Price
Lou Amundson
2012 Indiana First round pick
IND gets:
Jamal Crawford
Marcus Camby
Two upgrades coming our way. Our first and a ton of cap space going their way. The ability of Portland to Amnesty Brandon Roy kills their need to relieve themselves of salary. They are well under the LT at this point, but this would get them well under the salary cap with a lot of rookie deals on their books.
An underlying thought with this trade is this. Portland giving these two guys up really hurts their chances of winning. This is almost like a tanking move where they remove some talent a couple months early and are able to easily move up in the draft. Our first, even with these guys improving our team, only moves down the draft order slightly at worst for Portland. We aren't overcoming the few teams ahead of us as it is. If anything, it takes a few weeks of games to get the rotations comfortable and we lose a few more games that we shouldn't have. I think this keeps our pick value static while improves their chances of moving up in a good draft to be in the lottery. There are a lot of bigs available at the top of this draft that could be difference makers next to Aldridge and Batum.

Want to own some of Mike Eruzione's gear from the 1980 Olympics, including his game jersey from that unlikely semifinals win over the Russians? You can for a price, ESPN.com reports.
Eruzione, who will be forever remembered as the Team USA player who scored game-winning goal vs. Russia in the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, then helped the Americans win the gold medal vs. Finland, is auctioning off everything but his medal and Olympic ring.
Eruzione's jerseys from the Russia and Finland games will go on the auction block in late February, as will his stick from the Russia game.
This is not a story of an athlete gone broke. It's a way for Eruzione to secure the financial future of his kids and their own children. Heritage Auction House of Dallas, which will run the auction, hopes that Eruzione's cut will net him at least a $1 million.
"Fortunately, I don't need the money to help me," Eruzione told ESPN.com "I've done very well over the last 32 years and hopefully will continually do well in the future with appearances. I'm not broke! I'm not doing this for my own purpose or gain; in fact, it's not for my purpose at all. I think I can do a lot of good for others with what I get."
But Eruzione will not ever part with his gold medal.
"It's the ultimate thing," Eruzione said. "The gold medal will never be sold as long as I'm alive. If something happens to me and my kids/grandkids want to do something with it, hopefully it's for the right reasons."
Also on the block, Eruzione says, is his "cowboy hat, the warmup suit I wore on the podium, my gloves, my shoulder pads, my opening ceremony outfit and my sweatsuit that I tried out for the team in at the Olympic festival."
If you want to make a run at Eruzione's semifinals jersey, the opening bid will be $1 million. Considering that Mario Lemieux jokingly offered him $100 for it, we think he's making the right call.

Publicly traded REITs offer investors the benefits of commercial real estate investment along with the advantages of investing in a publicly traded stock. The special investment characteristics of income-producing real estate provide REIT investors with competitive long-term rates of return that complement the returns from other stocks and from bonds.
REITs are required to distribute at least 90 percent of their taxable income to shareholders annually in the form of dividends. Significantly higher on average than other equities, the industry's dividend yields historically have produced a steady stream of income through a variety of market conditions.
In addition to the investment performance and portfolio diversification benefits available from investing in REITs, REITs offer several advantages not found in companies across other industries. These benefits are part of the reason that REITs have become increasingly popular with investors over the past several decades.
REITs' reliable income is derived from rents paid to the owners of commercial properties whose tenants often sign leases for long periods of time, or from interest payments from the financing of those properties.
Most REITs operate along a straightforward and easily understandable business model: By increasing property occupancy rates and rents over time, higher levels of income may be produced. When reporting financial results, REITs, like other public companies, must report earnings per share based on net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
In short, REITs over time have demonstrated a historical track record providing a high level of current income combined with long-term share price appreciation, inflation protection, and prudent diversification for investors across the age and investment style spectrums.

The dude just wants his kid to watch him wrestle, that's all he constantly says. I know he's more a fan of PG, but TNA isn't doing anything piggish compared to half the shit Vince has done. The only thing I can think of, was that awful crap they did to the knockouts in 2010 when they were trying to be all "Attitude".
