President Barack Obama is extending congratulations to rival Mitt Romney "on a spirited campaign." Obama says he's "confident we've got the votes to win."
Obama says he knows Romney supporters are "just as engaged, just as enthusiastic."
While the president has essentially conceded his part in the election is over by heading home to Chicago, Romney has taken a starkly different approach and is set to make two rare Election Day appearances for a presidential candidate.
Obama spoke to reporters briefly after making calls to Wisconsin campaign volunteers Tuesday morning from a campaign office near his South Side Chicago home.
He said he and first lady Michelle Obama were grateful to all of the campaign volunteers who have worked hard on his behalf.
He was greeted by thunderous applause by about two dozen volunteers, many with tears streaming down their face.
During one call, he told a woman: "Hopefully we'll have a good day." And he told her to "keep working hard all the way through."
Romney has been joined by his running mate, Paul Ryan, for a campaign event in Ohio. Romney will also be campaigning in Pennsylvania later Tuesday.
Both states are considered swing states but polls have consistently given Obama a slight edge. There are few paths to victory for Romney that don't include winning Ohio.
Polls opened in many states before the sun rose Tuesday and the first important polls will start closing at 7 p.m. with Virginia, followed by Ohio and North Carolina at 7:30 p.m.
Florida, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania all close at 8 p.m.
Romney casts his vote
Romney countered the president's early voting in Chicago by casting his own ballot this morning in the Boston suburb of Belmont, MA.
"I think you know," was Romney's response when he was asked who he voted for.
Romney also suggested Americans could vote the wrong man into office.
"I won't guarantee that they'll get it right, but I think they will," Romney told Cleveland's WTAM radio when asked if he agreed with former president Ronald Reagan's assertion that voters always get it right.
Dozens of supporters — young and old, parents and their children — lined Beech Street holding Romney-Ryan signs to welcome the Republican candidate and his wife, Ann, as they pulled onto the property of a picturesque senior's center to vote in their local precinct.
Lynn Polcari had already cast her ballot here for Romney and was waiting outside — bundled up, Romney-Ryan sign in hand — hoping to catch a glimpse of the man she wants elected president today.
"The economy and jobs are my top priority, and Barack Obama didn't do a good job improving the economy over the past four years," said Polcari, who voted for President Obama four years ago. "He's done nothing to instill confidence in the business community … and I don't believe that government should be the stimulus for growth."
Polcari, who waited about an hour to vote at the Beech Street Center early this morning, was drowned out by "Go, Mitt, go! Go, Mitt, go!" chants erupting from the crowd of Romney supporters peppered with a few Obama voters.
Belmont residents Victoria Zarkadas, 12, and friend Christina Noonan, 13, were among those cheering as Mr. Romney's entourage rolled by, pausing to finish each other's sentences about why they are rooting for the former Massachusetts governor on this bright but chillingly brisk day.
"We want more jobs in this country," said Victoria, before Christina chimed in with, "And less taxes."
Markets up as voters goes to polls
Stocks gained steam on Tuesday, with the Dow climbing 1 percent and the S&P 500 on track for a second straight advance, as voters chose the next president.
Trading volume was expected to remain light as investors awaited results of a close race that will set the country's course for the next four years on spending, taxes, healthcare and other policies.

"I think people are kind of feeling like, 'Hey, we're going to have an answer to the election. The uncertainty is still there, but we know that the end is very near," said Bryant Evans, investment adviser and portfolio manager at Cozad Asset Management, in Champaign, Illinois.

Natural metabolism boosters are the method that are used to speed up the metabolic rate of a person. A higher metabolism helps your body digest food at a increased rate and avoid unnecessary storage of fat in your body by burning it immediately or releasing more fatty acids into the blood stream for immediate use. There are various effective ways on how to increase metabolism naturally over time.
Losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be so painful or expensive, both can be achieved through a healthy way of life.
It is always advisable to go the natural way when it comes to one's health in order to avoid negative complications and side effects that may occur from less natural methods.
Natural Metabolism Boosters: Exercise
Exercise is the most natural and most guaranteed method of boosting metabolism! Through exercise, one can easily speed up their metabolism by building muscle.
Through exercise and a sensible diet, body fat is metabolized and used for energy.
By building leaner muscle, the basal metabolic rate BMR is increased which automatically increases your the rate at which you burn calories and burning more calories will result in increased body fat loss.
Whether you're talking about best metabolism boosters for women or men we would definitely consider increasing muscle as it will increase your caloric "spend" day in and day out long term.
Metabolism Boosting Tip: Your ability to build muscle decreases as you near age 30 so it would be best to start early and maintain your lean muscle to maintain your metabolic rate into your 40s and 50s!
Natural Metabolism Boosters: Eating right / Food Choices
We are all looking for foods that boost metabolism naturally. If you're keen on boosting your metabolism having 1 meal a day, eating your entire days worth of calories all at once will cause your body to slow down just to break it down and digest it all.
2 meals a day will slow it down less than 1 meal a day. 3 meals a day will spread the energy use over the day instead of all at once to digest the food.
What about breaking it into 5 smaller meals a day?
Think about it. Getting into the right eating habits will do your body justice in terms of health. It is always advisable to eat frequent small meals or smaller portions.
This is because eating frequently, say after 2-3 hours ensures that you do not get hungry. When your body senses that you are hungry it will begin to move into a starvation mode, it slows down the metabolism so you're essentially burning calories at a slower rate.
It is ALWAYS advisable to eat breakfast because this will prevent "starvation mode" from occurring and the earlier you kick start your metabolism the better.
Remember, not overeating but having smaller meals or smaller portions will make a whole lot of difference in maintaining your overall daily energy levels which affect your metabolism.
Also, having spicier foods (metabolism boosters) will also increase your metabolic rate immediately after consuming…as much as an 8% increase! Also, it can also have a mild appetite suppressing effect. Keep that in mind when making your food choices!
Metabolism Boosting: Foods Higher In Protein
In terms of really effective natural metabolism boosters for weight loss, building muscle is one of the MOST effective ways to boost your metabolism.
But to build more lean muscle you must include plenty of protein in your diet is essential or another way to put it is foods that are higher in lean protein are considered foods that speed up metabolism and bump up the rate at which you burn calories.
Remember, lean muscle accelerates your basal metabolic rate (BMR).
There are very many healthy sources of protein, for instance, chicken and fish.
However, this does not mean over indulging in protein rich dishes only. You need to have a balanced diet.
Natural Metabolism Boosters: Water
Serious? ABSOLUTELY! Drinking lots of water frequently ensures that you do not feel hungry (temporarily) hence your body does not go in to starvation mode. Lack of sufficient water intake will make your body concentrate more on retaining and restoring fluids instead of burning fat.
Metabolization of body fat coincides with perspiration (use of water in your body). Make sure you keep that in mind and keep hydrated!
Apply These Techniques To Your Lifestyle
All the above are excellent methods of naturally boosting metabolism.
Any one can use these natural metabolism boosters as they are not harmful in any way. On the contrary, it is advisable for anyone to observe such a lifestyle for health, vitality and long life.
Some people find it hard to observe some of the above like eating frequently in regard to their lifestyle and nature of work. If one's work is very demanding and tedious, eating a small amount may seem impossible.
By applying the above metabolism boosting methods in your lifestyle, the benefits are overwhelming as one can maintain a healthy body, avoid hunger pangs and lose weight over time.
Metabolism Pills To Lose Weight Safely
There are metabolism booster supplements available that can take the amount of calories you burn each day to the next level.
One of the most effective metabolism boosters is PhenTabz. Developed by Gentech Pharmaceutical as a safer and effective alternative to Phentermine, PhenTabz are also excellent alternatives to the recently FDA approved weight loss drugs Qsymia (Qnexa) and Belviq (Lorcaserin).
These newly FDA approved anti-obesity prescription drugs have negative side effects that bring additional risk for losing weight. People just don't realize it because it's "FDA Approved".
We strongly recommend against using Qsymia / Qnexa / Belviq / Lorcaserin.
Although the FDA has approved them as a prescription weight loss drug there is so much hype surrounding them as the "Magic Bullet" people are not realizing the negative side effects that come with taking them.
They are prescription for a reason increasing the risk for all users thinking it's the next best thing.
The safer and more effective alternative is still PhenTabz AND it DOES NOT require a prescription. Watch your metabolism increase when taking PhenTabz to help you reduce body fat (not water weight).

Praise from Warner for Obama's 'triumverate'
The spokeswoman for Virginia Republican Sen. John Warner, the retiring Armed Services chairman, sends over a statement of praise for an Obama transition fully into its honeymoon.
The statement, via Bronwyn Lance Chester:
The triumvirate of Gates, Clinton and Jones to lead Obama's 'national security team' instills great confidence at home and abroad and further strengthens the growing respect for the president-elect's courage and ability to exercise sound judgment in selecting the 'best and the brightest' to implement our nation's security policies.
Incidentally, that "triumverate" still hasn't been formally announced, though sources have confirmed all three to Politico and elsewhere; but an Obama aide's circulating Warner's statement to reporters firms it up a bit.
Also, for formal reasons or others, Warner doesn't include two other figures who no doubt see themselves as key to Obama's national security team: Joe Biden and David Petraeus.

Crack is Wack in Jersey
A new law is going into effect on the New Jersey Boardwalk.
Hitting the Jersey Boardwalk this summer? Pack a belt! A new law is expected to pass in Wildwood that bans sagging pants, no if's and's or butt's! Thank you, I'm here all week!
The law bars folks from having their pants sag more than three inches below the hip, exposing skin or underwear. The law also bans going shirtless on the boardwalk and bare feet.
The law packs a steep fine ranging from $25 to $100 for the first offense and $200 for repeat offenses. Oh yeah, you also might have to do 40 hours of community service!
The town says the law is to keep tourists happy. They rely strongly on tourism on the famous boardwalk for survival, and tourist don't want to see butt crack while on vacation. The morons from MTV's 'Jersey Shore' wouldn't have even been allowed to leave the house! …why didn't anyone think of this earlier.

When on the character select screen for Practice Mode. Use the Triangle button to choose your arena. On this screen press L & R shoulder buttons simultaneously while selecting any arena. You'll hear Shao Kahn's laugh to confirm.
Turn the difficulty to "beginner" level, setting the number of rounds to win a match to 3. Tackle arcade mode until you get the Pit (night) to come up as the first stage. The goal is to unlock the hidden fight with Classic Reptile, so if there are no silhouettes flying in front of the moon, pause the game and choose the option to pick another character (even if you will just use the same one). Once you've picked your character, the fight will again start in the Pit. When you eventually get a match where you see the silhouettes flying in front of the moon, get a double-flawless and finish your opponent with a stage fatality. You will unlock the fight against Classic Reptile. Battle Classic Reptile until the end of the match. When the announcer says "Finish Him/Her!", pause the game and choose to select a new character. When you begin the new fight, it will introduce the original character you fought to get to Classic Reptile as if they are a secret battle that you've unlocked. Each round you win against them nets you 5,000 koins, while each round lost earns you a still sizeable 1,000. When the announcer says "Finish Him/Her!", pause the game and choose to select a new character. Rinse and repeat. This glitch will allow you to continue to fight the same character, each time earning 1,000 or 5,000 koins per round as if you are fighting Classic Reptile. Assuming you set the rounds to win a match at 3, you could earn 12,000 koins each match (2 won and 2 lost rounds)! This will make it VERY easy to collect the 299,880 koins needed to unlock everything in the Krypt! 25 matches with 2 won and lost rounds, each, will do the trick.

RONCEVERTE — Some of the best jams in the state are in Greenbrier County.
But don't expect to find berries in these jams.
Every Tuesday night and the fourth Saturday of each month, musicians and lovers of live music alike gather at the American Heritage Music Hall in Ronceverte to enjoy jam sessions featuring bluegrass, folk and country music.
The purpose of the AHMH, as it is known, is to promote live music heritage at its location at 315 Monroe Ave. The jams start at 7 p.m. and run through 10:30 or 11 p.m.
Music Hall proprietors Jeannie Crane and Charlie Massie unofficially started the music hall more than a dozen years ago in Crane's family room.
"We retired at the same time as some of the other people we know who play music also retired. We said we need a place to get together and jam," she said. "My house has a family room that is 24-feet by 36-feet, and that was designated as a place to jam."
But the jam sessions quickly grew as friends brought other friends, who then brought more friends.
"We about blew out the walls," Crane chuckled.
Soon, Crane and Massie, who both live in Lewisburg, started looked for a larger place to host the weekly jam sessions. They reached out to a friend who owned a shopping complex in Fairlea to see if he knew of anywhere they could gather, preferably for free. He eventually let them gather in a building that had been an old pet store. They played there for more than six years, gaining an increasing number of followers each year.
But after six years, the landlord told them he needed the building back for other uses. So Massie and Crane either had to find a new home for the jam sessions or quit the event
"We contemplated our ages and thought, 'We don't need to do this.' But our audience family — and that is what they are, a family — wouldn't let us quit. They'd call and want to know when we would get them a new home."
Crane and Massie obliged and, after looking at 32 different places, found an old roller skating rink at 315 Monroe Ave. in Ronceverte that was perfect.
"We went from 800 square feet to 7,500 square feet. We end up filling it every night," she said, explaining that the weekly Tuesday night sessions are open jams while the fourth Saturday night of each month has a featured band.
Admission to AHMH is $7 on Tuesday nights and $10 on Saturdays. The money raised through admission helps to pay for overhead of the building, which the AHMH eventually bought, as well as pay the Saturday night bands. Musicians who perform on Tuesday do so for free.

Story source:
Karen Funkenbusch, 573-884-1268
COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Extension has teamed up with Nationwide Agribusiness to provide training during National Grain Bin Safety Week, Feb. 23-March 1.
Like quicksand, flowing grain will bury the average person in less than a minute. A record number of U.S. workers were killed in 2010 in preventable grain bin accidents, says University of Missouri Extension safety specialist Karen Funkenbusch.
The timing of the weeklong educational event is especially important this year because freezing temperatures have formed top crusts in grain. This creates the illusion of a stable area that can be walked upon, said Frank Wideman, MU Extension natural resource engineer. When the crust breaks, moving grain quickly swallows up victims and suffocates them.
"There is nothing to hang on to," Funkenbusch said. It's also difficult to pull someone from a grain bin. It takes more than 325 pounds of force to pull a 165-pound person out of the grain.
Grain Bin Safety Week falls during February, when many farmers sell grain to make room for the 2014 harvest.
MU Extension is a new partner with Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Company, Farm Safety for Just Kids, Iowa FFA Foundation, the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) and others to provide seven days of training.
The highlight of the training will be held 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24, at the FFA Enrichment Center adjoining the Des Moines Area Community College, 1055 SW Prairie Trail Parkway, Ankeny, Iowa. Numerous learning opportunities include simulators on grain bin entrapment and manure pits, sessions on implement and driver safety, anhydrous ammonia safe-handling procedures, and demonstrations on grain dust explosion and auger safety.
Bill Chisel, safety director of Heartland Co-op of West Des Moines, Iowa, will speak on what could have been done to prevent the 2011 grain entrapment of a Heartland employee and describe changes the co-op has implemented.
A free lunch, snacks and beverages are available at the Monday session. Sign up at facebook.com/events/344984278975064 or email your contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other events during the week include #AgChat on Twitter, 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Go to twubs.com/agchat.
There will be a free webinar on grain bin safety on Feb. 26. Reserve a spot at nwagcompanyevents.fugent.com/home/events.asp.
Additionally, Nationwide Agribusiness and NECAS seek nominations for fire department and emergency rescue squads to receive a free bin rescue tube, valued at $2,600, and training. Information is available at GrainBinSafetyWeek.com.

Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California
In July 2009, a police officer was investigating me for a crime in southern California. I spoke to the police officer who wanted me to come down to swab my mouth for the crime. I decided to hire a lawyer, who made a call or two to the police officer, and accompanied me to the police station where the police officer swabbed my mouth. At that point I never heard back from the police officer on the charges, nor did my attorney.
I recently heard about a lot of attorneys getting in trouble for charging incredibly high fees for doing next to nothing. I paid this lawyer $5,000 for him to make a call or two (which got no further than when I did it) and to accompany me to the police station. I did not sign any contract, either. I just paid the $5,000 from my credit card. Is this an unconcionable fee? I want to see if there is any way of getting some or all of this back. Is there a legal argument? An ethical argument? Should I reach out to the attorney? Is there a statute of limitations issue here? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Finally someone posted a question that belongs in this category!
An attorney fee agreement in which it is reasonably foreseeable that the total expense to a client, including attorney's fees, exceeds $1,000, must be in writing. (Bus. & Prof. Code, sect. 6148, subd. (a).) Failure to comply by the attorney makes the oral agreement voidable, at the election of the client. (Bus. & Prof. Code,sect. 6148, subd. (c).) When the agreement is found to be void, the attorney may only collect a reasonable fee.
There are different time limits that govern your situation. The State Bar can handle complaints against attorneys for conduct within the past five (5) years.
An action on an oral contract must be brought within (2) years. But you have a unique situation, in that the oral contract is invalid. You may be able to operate under other statutes of limitation, for obtaining restitution.
There are other rules that apply, and I suggest you speak at length with an attorney on this matter.


text: Hi, all - For sale is my recently-rehabbed Rolleiflex Automat 2, serial 683509. This one comes with a 75/3.5 CZJ Tessar. The shutter's been cleaned and adjusted; speeds sound approriate and work reliably. Glass is clean and has no marks that I can find. Leather is in good shape; the paint has marks/chips/scratches, though. It's a user - a nice one - but a user. The dim original Rollei screen has been replaced with that of an RB67, a very fine Fresnel screen. The self timer does not work, however. Inside is clean. The automat counting feature works perfectly. Some images from this camera: Considering the time and money I have into parts and repairs on this, I'd like to get $175 plus insured shipping, PayPal only please ("gift" appreciated but at the buyer's discretion). Thanks, Scott

It was damn close. And it scored top marks for effort. Miliband's plan today was to prove that Cameron's NHS policy is a disaster. And to prove it with Cameron's own admissions. Or omissions.
'It's four years since his top-down re-organisation of the NHS,' began Miliband in that quiet, meticulous manner that always foretells a forensic ambush.
'Have the numbers waiting for cancer treatment got better or worse?'
Cameron instinctively dodged the question. Miliband moved on to A&E waiting times. Cameron shifted and ducked again. Miliband asked about numbers waiting over four hours on a trolley. Cameron ran for cover. With each refusal Miliband triumphantly recited the figures that the prime minister had failed to give Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Waiting, fretting, being let down. But it wasn't a triumph at all. It was just a blizzard of integers.
Cameron used his classic defence and compared England-under-me with Wales-under-you. Miliband was prepared. He struck straight back with figures showing improvements in Wales. Cameron retaliated with numbers proving the opposite. But by now it was over. Miliband's attack had dissolved in a whirl-pool of digits and squiggles. Because using maths to win an argument is all but impossible. Cameron, the wily old marketing shark, knows this in his guts. He twice deployed his distasteful but effective slogan, 'patients dying under Labour'.
Miliband could do with a sound-bite to match that rather than investing all his faith in wonkish statistics. If he had to re-write Churchill he'd say, '98 percent of UK citizens will proceed beachwards with belligerent intentions.'
After this, we were invited to a 1980s party. Diane Abbot got up and thundered about wicked Tory landlords evicting saintly toilers in Hackney. Dennis Skinner complained so furiously about the NHS that his face almost disappeared in a wobbling mass of empurpled jowls. Then Jeremy Corbyn asked to come in. Yes, certainly. Nicely-spoken Jeremy, who represents posh Islington, has just discovered that London is booming. And he wants it stopped. He asked the PM for rent controls to cure a snag that he calls 'social cleansing,' and which normal people call 'living where you can afford to live.'
Even your housing minister rejects that, said Cameron.
The 1980s party ended with a Tony Baldry anecdote. In 1983 a teenage prophet was spotted on Baldry's home-turf handing out leaflets calling for Britain to quit the EEC. The embryonic secessionist? Ed Miliband. Cameron got more joy from this than anyone expected.
'Well I suppose if that's your idea of fun,' he said, angling a barbed look at Ed.
'What's your idea of fun?' heckled Labour.
'Not hanging out with the shadow chancellor,' yelled Cameron. 'The Labour leader has to hang out with him all the time! The man who wrecked the economy. And who keeps saying, "we crashed the car, give us back the keys".'
Balls flushed puce at this. And Miliband went so pale he almost slid off the chart. As Tory guffaws rose, a humiliated Balls began to fling one arm around while shouting abuse and heaving his doorman's shoulders this way and that. Miliband, beside him, gazed dead-ahead, evidently trying to assume an expression of frosty contempt. He actually looked as if he'd been hit between the eyes with a man-hole cover. Honestly, they couldn't have looked more shifty if they'd been found sharing a sleeping bag.
Mean old Cameron will try that again next time.

The Christmas musical The Nutcracker and the Mouse King begins previews at off-Broadway's Beckett Theatre in Theatre Row on November 29. Featuring music and a book by Collin Simon and lyrics by Liz Muller (who also directs), the comedy will officially open on December 1, playing a limited engagement through December 15.
Told through music and dance, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a somewhat dark comedy, set in a fantasy steam-punk world where Clara-Marie is surrounded by cruelty, ugliness and people who don't understand her. One Christmas, her godfather Armand gives her a Nutcracker to protect her. That night, Clara-Marie travels to the land of Colossus, where toys are larger than life—including her Nutcracker—and humans are small. As she journeys through the land, she encounters evil characters including the Mouse King, who is trying to enslave Colossus' dolls.
The Nutcracker and the Mouse King features scenic design by Muller, costume design by Vanessa Price, lighting design by Stephanie Goldman and sound engineering from Simon.

Live from the halls of the Mobilization, here are a few more quotes about faith and justice work from some of the fantastic people who are here!
Jonathan Bettle, an intern with the Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry in Baltimore, works in an emergency room in a high-need neighborhood, connecting folks with resources such as primary care doctors they can see before a health problems reach crisis levels. "There are those who are in a fortunate position to know what resources they [themselves] have had, and then there are those who are without those resources," he told me. "Their needs are what this Mobilization is advocating for -- obtaining and protecting resources and policies that can allow someone to fulfill their call since birth."
Kurt Frederickson, director of Fuller Theological Seminary's doctorate of ministry program, says, "From my vantage point, the church needs to learn how to be more engaged in the sort of issues that this conference has been about. Too much of the evangelical church, which is the church I know the best, really has been engaged more in that individual-salvation focus, and we forgotten about our neighborhoods, and how do we engage as followers of Jesus there?"
Fuller student Justin Fung added, "I've always appreciated the focus of Sojourners, the calling back to a faith that is wedded to deeds and unashamedly prophetic. More specifically, I appreciated most the lobbying day, because it allowed everyone here to immediately get involved and to take part in something which is not as difficult as one might think."
Monday night's Emerging Leaders reception brought out a host of new faces, including South Dakota State University student Katelyn Christensen, who "didn't know much about poverty, but after looking at the statistics [felt it was important to come]." Also at the reception was Matt Prichard of Durham, North Carolina, for whom a highlight of the Mobilization was the group worship. "People are screaming for Jesus. When you care for a person's physical needs, I think they are quicker to hold onto that gift of desperation [spiritual opennness]," Matt told me.

Energy Efficiency Financing Made Easy
Energy efficiency is regularly called our cheapest, cleanest, and fastest energy source. It's good for home comfort and safety, good for our pocketbooks, and good for the Earth – so it's easy to agree that efficiency is a good idea. Financing that efficiency, on the other hand, has been the elephant in the middle of many a home energy audit.
As an investment, energy efficiency differs from other home improvements because it increases the value and comfort of your home and reduces your operating expenses. (Compare that to granite countertops, which impress neighbors and appraisers without cutting your cooking costs.)
Homeowners who work with Rockland-based Evergreen Home Performance on a comprehensive energy efficiency project regularly cut their energy use by 25-50% and earn a 10% annual return on their investments – which is far better than most investment opportunities these days.
Investing in energy efficiency is a good financial plan, even without the long-term rewards of improved comfort, increased home value, more sustainable energy consumption, and dramatically reduced energy bills. Of course, homeowners still have to come up with the initial investment, and many homeowners talk themselves out audits – or even free consults like the ones Evergreen offers – because they're worried about financing.
There's no need to worry, though. Homeowners pursuing efficiency projects have more financing options than ever, including long-term loans that complement the traditional arsenal of cash, credit, and home equity lines. Last month, Efficiency Maine launched the PowerSaver loan program to put energy efficiency within reach for all homeowners and make weatherization and comfort improvements easy and affordable statewide. Developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by AFC First, the program complements Efficiency Maine's year-old PACE program.
The loans offer 4.99% APR and similar conditions, but have a few key differences. Here's a primer:
- If you live in a town that has opted in to PACE: You can borrow $6500-$15,000 for up to 15 years. You'll need an energy audit to identify the most cost-effective improvements and confirm energy savings of at least 20%, so look for a contractor that includes this analysis.
- If your town hasn't authorized PACE: PowerSaver is the loan for you. Concerned that nearly half of all Maine residents lacked access to PACE funding, Efficiency Maine launched PowerSaver. The FHA loan is available statewide, with no municipal requirements.
- If you need a smaller, unsecured loan: Homeowners who pursue incremental upgrades can borrow up to $7500, for terms of up to 10 years, with an unsecured PowerSaver loan. Since these loans are not tied to the property, they are perfect for homeowners who have don't have the equity to qualify for a larger, secured loan.
- If you need a larger loan: Homeowners can borrow up to $25,000 under PowerSaver. This larger loan will accommodate efficiency basics – like air sealing, insulation, and basement encapsulation – as well as systems upgrades and renewable energy installations. The standard loan term of 15 years is even extended to 20 years with a solar or wind project.
- If you want more flexibility: Either PowerSaver loan can be combined with a PACE loan. Homeowners might borrow the maximum amount under each program, for a total of $40,000, or pair a PACE loan with a smaller, unsecured PowerSaver loan.
Applying for the loans is easy at EfficiencyMaine, and loan administrators encourage homeowners to contact AFC First directly to sort out the financing options. Even if PowerSaver and PACE aren't right for you, energy efficiency is – and there are plenty of ways to pay for it.
Richard Burbank, President of Evergreen Home Performance, calls PowerSaver "one of the best options for many homeowners to pay for a comprehensive home energy upgrade." If you're ready to protect yourself from the devastating combination of high heating oil prices, inefficient old houses, and cold winters, you have one more financing tool in the tool kit.

Yves Saint Laurent
Last month saw fashion mavens flocking to London, Paris, Milan and New York as top fashion designers showcased their Resort 2011 collections on the catwalk. Even though the lines won't be hitting stores until November, we couldn't resist picking our favourite collections now.
Sophisticated separates at Yves Saint Laurent
Stefano Pilati was the man responsible for the sophistication that oozed from every look at the Yves Saint Laurent show. He paired bandeau tops with floor-scraping and knee-length skirts, in lilac, coral and vibrant fuchsia - colours taken straight from the YSL archives.
Destination: Although shown in New York, it is as though the YSL resort collection was made to be worn in St Tropez.

Abstract: The appearance of the distinctive 'Beaker package' marks an important horizon in British prehistory, but was it associated with immigrants to Britain or with indigenous converts? Analysis of the skeletal remains of 264 individuals from the British Chalcolithic–Early Bronze Age is revealing new information about the diet, migration and mobility of those buried with Beaker pottery and related material. Results indicate a considerable degree of mobility between childhood and death, but mostly within Britain rather than from Europe. Both migration and emulation appear to have had an important role in the adoption and spread of the Beaker package.Mike Parker Pearson, Andrew Chamberlain, Mandy Jay, Mike Richards, Alison Sheridan, Neil Curtis, Jane Evans, Alex Gibson, Margaret Hutchison, Patrick Mahoney, Peter Marshall, Janet Montgomery, Stuart Needham, Sandra O'Mahoney, Maura Pellegrini and Neil Wilkin (2016). Beaker people in Britain: migration, mobility and diet. Antiquity, 90, pp 620-637 doi:10.15184/aqy.2016.72 Update 03/06/2016: For those wondering if we'll soon see ancient DNA from British Bell Beakers, here's some preliminary info that leaked out online about a new study on the origins of Bell Beakers. For more details see here.
- 67 Bell Beaker samples from Portugal, England, France, Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany and Spain - Max Planck and Broad MIT/Harvard involved - two of the samples from near Barcelona are females, 1st degree relatives, one with brown eyes, the other lactose intolerant

Democrats' ideas for reforming taxes are very different from House Republicans,' but some of them agree with state Rep. Bob Smith that it is time to scrap the tax code and start over.
Smith, R-Watkinsville, introduced a bill Friday calling for a constitutional convention to rewrite the way state and local governments raise money. Athens' Democratic representatives, Doug McKillip and Keith Heard, hadn't read the bill Monday, but both said they like the concept.
"Put everything back on the table," McKillip said. "I think (Smith's) idea is good. Let's start the discussion."
The legislation, House Bill 250, has not even been assigned to a committee yet, so it is a long way from coming up for a vote.
But if it were to pass, it would need Democratic support.
The bill needs approval from two-thirds of state representatives and senators to pass, and although Republicans control both chambers, they do not have enough votes without bipartisan support.
A constitutional convention would be an opportunity to get rid of about 150 tax loopholes for everyone from insurance companies to pig farmers, McKillip said. Such exemptions cost state and local governments millions of dollars per year in revenue.
McKillip said he also wants to make the state's income tax more progressive and offer breaks to low-income workers.
Heard said he's also in favor of a complete tax overhaul, but thinks lawmakers should do it legislatively, not through a constitutional convention. He agreed, though, that taxpayers are overburdened.
"People, they are tired of being taxed, believe me," he said.
Like McKillip, Heard said he would be interested in taking another look at exemptions for special interests. He also is open to replacing the income tax with sales taxes, he said.
Athens-Clarke Mayor Heidi Davison, a Democrat, said Friday that comprehensive tax reform is a high priority for her and county commissioners.
She advocated instituting a more progressive income tax and closing tax loopholes.
Smith, though, had something different in mind when he introduced the bill. He said Friday that a constitutional convention could be a chance to revive House Speaker Glenn Richardson's plan to replace local property taxes with state-collected sales taxes without interference from local officials who opposed it.
The mayors, commissioners and school board members who lobbied last year against Richardson's proposal were instrumental in defeating it.
Richardson has not read Smith's bill, spokesman Marshall Guest said Monday, but he "has supported tax reform measures in the past, as recently as last year, when he wanted to reform property taxes."
Smith's bill calls for a special election this year to elect one delegate from each of the 56 state Senate districts to serve at the first constitutional convention in Georgia since 1877.
The delegates would have until July 2012 to write a new constitution, which would have to be approved by voters.

Dropped, Mindfunks second album, is by far their best. It draws influences from the (then hugely popular) "grunge" movement (distorted guitars, angst filled lyrics, etc.). Dropped sounds a lot like an early Soundgarden album, which doesnt come as a surprise seeing as it was produced by Terry Date, who produced "Louder than Love" and "BadMotorFinger". This is not to say they plagarized anything from this or any other band.
Mindfunk is sometimes refered to as a 'b-level supergroup' due to the fact that during their existence they had members of Celtic Frost, Soundgarden, Nirvana, M.O.D. and Ministry. Though none were parts of any classic lineups or helped make classic album with those bands. Example: Jason Everman was in both Soundgarden and Nirvana but it he only participated in each band minimally.
The vocals, provided by both Jason Everman, Louis Svitek, and Patrick Dubar are really solid. The lead vocals are really strong, with a filling backing vocals. This helps complete the music, and add an extra dimension. Though, on some songs the vocals seem to cut through the music and instead of flowing with it.
The guitar work is pure grunge, as mentioned above. Though the guitars posseses a more metallic edge than some other similar bands.This helps make the music closer to a metal band than a "grunge" band. The bass is heavy and fluid, a bright spot really, one of the few things that doesnt seem totally taken from another band. The drums are solid, but sometimes the seem to be pushed back in the mix.
The Production is really good. Terry Date helps provide a solid groundwork for MindFunk to work around. From my description you might think that this is just a copy of some "grunge" album, but, in reality it just takes a lot of influences from them and mold them into something similar but at the same time different.
My favorite songs are "Goddess" into "Closer", which are bridged by a distorted guitar, and give it a more organic feel (not to mention the insect/nature effects at the begining of "Goddess"). The first half of Dropped is really strong, not to say the end half isnt but it feels less focused. Also "Drowning" is a decent song, with a catchy chorus. Another decent song is the thrashy "Mama, Moses, and Me".
In all this is a really good album if you are into this era of music. Also if you really like Soundgarden this a great band to check out. Overall Dropped is an slighlty above average album from what you might call a "b-level supergroup".
On their second album, the sneeringly-titled "Dropped", Mindfunk vent a little label-related bitterness, and attempt to separate themselves meaningfully from the funk-metal pack. World-class producer Terry Date delivers the slowed-down grooves in an airtight, vacuum sealed muscular-as-hell package that would presage the work he did for Soundgarden on "Badmotorfinger." Its worth comparing the two albums as _Dropped_ does contain more than one obvious nod in the direction of Seattle ( and not just because they induct alt.rock's version of Pete Best - Jason Everman - to play second fiddle to Louis J. Svitek's lead guitar). Opener "Goddess", with its excellent riffing and understated solo work, and the insistent, almost middle-eastern drone metal of "In The Way Eye" are to me the most interesting of this rather lengthy, mostly mid-tempo sophomore set. Having lost drummer extraordinaire Reed St. Mark to Celtic Frost, much of the rhytmic energy and flashy musicianship of their self-titled debut is gone. Stripped down thusly, the songs reveal themselves to be brooding,intensely focused groove monsters that can occasionally end up just slightly on this side of meandering. The album's biggest sin is its sameness, and towards the latter fourth of the album it starts to get a little long in the tooth. "Mama, Moses and Me" is probably the only track that recalls the manic energy of the debut, more often than not replaced with more moody, solemn work like "Drowning." Solid, almost classy in some ways, but it could have really used one or two more uptempo tunes and a few of the psychedelic excesses shaved from the third album.
