Twin Cities, Minnesota (PRWEB) September 20, 2013
Home Buyers are buying a home with market driven objectives, according to CoreLogic's Housing MarketPulse Report for September 2013. The housing sector drove the U.S. economy by contributing 17% to GDP growth. CoreLogic seeks to define the engines of future growth and finds that home buyers are becoming better informed and demanding value driven purchases.
"Twin Cities home buyers often ask for help early on before buying a home to gain solid research and advice up front. Buying a home is a big decision, and as an investment purchase, the value of the house, and the buyer's proportion of increasing home equity will grow over time." says Jenna Thuening, owner of Home Destination.
As home purchase volumes continue to rebound, CoreLogic predicts a flight to quality because borrowers value service and end-to-end loan origination experiences that go as smoothly as possible.
An in depth understanding of home buyer needs and borrower qualifications underlines the ability to build a quality portfolio of high value home purchases, states CoreLogic in the report. As the housing market shifts to a home buyer's market, a new set of regulations adds complexities to financing and a greater nee

Miami will particpate in the (in)famous World World Naked Bike Ride along with San Francisco, Barcelona, Mexico City, and a slew of major and not-so-major cities worldwide.
Priding itself as the "craziest, wildest, most insane event of the year," World Naked Bike Ride is an environmental cause at its core. WNBR essentially asks participants to "face automobile traffic with [their] naked bodies" in order to raise awareness about the dangers of depending on nonrenewable resources, such as oil.
The ride also hopes to promote safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Miami coordinator Miriam Cruz hopes the act will promote "independence from oil and car culture," and serve as a protest to the effects of the recent oil spill on the Florida coast.
No need to ride completely in the buff, the Miami event encourages participators to express their "concerns about the spill through body paint and creative costuming." The protest allows for a sense of humor to be mixed in with the seriousness of its cause, welcoming inventiveness and looking to put "a smile on the faces of all those people lucky enough to encounter this curious flotilla of protesters."
The ride will take place on Saturday June 12th starting at 4:30 pm. Meeting at the BP gas station on 10th Street and Biscayne Blvd, bicyclers will ride through Biscayne Blvd to the Venetian Causeway. At 14th Street and Ocean Drive riders will be joined by the Be Proactive group, who will be walking alongside the beach to Southe Pointe Park. The Be Proactive participants will be wearing black in protest of the plight of animals suffering from the oil spill. This event is also open to anyone wanting to participate.

7.10.14: Covenant CRC Furniture Ministry looking for donations
This week's storm and tornado did damage to the Kentwood and Wyoming area and there are many homes and businesses that are working to recover.
A local ministry that usually helps others in times of need is now looking for donations of its own. Bob Storteboom with the Furniture Ministry at Covenant CRC says they are unable to help others now because they lost many of the donated items due to storm damage.
Items are usually donated by church members and local furniture stores. Much of it was damaged. Most of their moving equipment was damaged, as well as storage racks, bed frames, Bibles and Christian literature.
If you can help, you can drop off a donation at the church parking lot where a trailer will be set up to accept donations. The church is located at: 7171 Willard Avenue, S.E. Grand Rapids. (616) 455-5120.

Topix and Citizen Journalism
USA Today has the scoop on Topix.com's (no longer .net) new initiative to encourage the general public to post news and reports from their local community.
"We're doing this in every ZIP code in the country," says Topix founder Rich Skrenta. "We see a big hunger for local news. Since Day One of our existence, people have been sending us news, even though we had no place to put it. We have a (tech help) form, and people would type news into it like, 'Hey, did you hear about Coach Jackson?' "
Expect to see more "mainstream" news outlets embrace citizen journalism. After all, why wouldn't you want thousands of free journalists providing you with content?

In search of a cute treat to make for an upcoming 4th of July party, I've come to the realization that you can add strawberries and blueberries to almost any food to make it look festive. I've found so many cute treat ideas on the internet that it's hard to choose just one.
I'll start with my favorite – and perhaps the easiest to make – treat. Just dip a fresh strawberry in white chocolate and blue sprinkles. I love it!
Next, this idea for a festive fruit platter. Arrange a platter of watermelon, blueberries, and bananas in the shape of an American flag. The only trouble is when people start eating the fruit, your flag is no longer recognizable.
How sweet are these fruit shishkabobs? Alternate strawberries, grapes or cherries with blueberries and marshmallows. You can also sub the marshmallows with bananas.
OK this one is making my mouth water. Homemade cheese pizza with spinach and/or basil and sliced tomatoes. How cute is this?
OK I totally want to make this American Flag Cheesecake. Prepare a regular New York Cheesecake and add strawberries, bananas and blueberries. You can also do this with a white sheet cake.
This layer-cake is a little more involved. You can find the recipe and directions here. It's almost too pretty to eat!
And lastly, what better way to start off your day then a festive piece of toast?
I'm going out to Hood Canal for the 4th with some family and plan to BBQ, boat, and roast marshmallows while watching fireworks. The weather is supposed to be nice so it should be a great time. I always love leaving the city behind and relaxing by the water! Happy 4th of July to you and your family!

The Outstanding Analyst of the Year Award was presented to Arizona Air National Guard Staff Sgt. Svetlana Sevciuc for her full-time work as an intelligence specialist with the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in July. Sevciuc is a services specialist in her drill-status duties with the 162nd Fighter Wing here.
"She is a great representation of the military," said Master Sgt. Cookie Gonzales, Sgt. Sevciuc's full-time supervisor. "She came out on top to win the award over her civilian counterparts working for other law enforcement agencies."
Sevciuc began working for the Joint Counter Narcotic-Terrorism Task Force (JCNTF) in March of 2010, and was assigned to the Arizona HIDTA Intelligence Support Center (ISC) as one of nine Domestic Highway Enforcement (DHE) analysts. Sgt. Sevciuc monitors drug related activity in her region, which includes Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada. Her analytical expertise is also a vital part of Arizona's JCNTF mission.
"I look at the trends and patterns of drug trafficking, compare the data to previous years, check what law enforcement is doing, and identify if there is a new or emerging trend or shift in activity," said Sevciuc.
The Arizona JCNTF has been around for nearly 20 years assisting various federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies in disrupting and dismantling drug trafficking organizations. Arizona Air National Guard and Army National Guard members work hand in hand with law enforcement agents and analysts to perform functions, such as monitoring border activity, translating and transcribing documents and videos, and conducting intelligence analysis.
Sevciuc assisted with the production of the annual "Arizona Threat Assessment Report" that was disseminated among various law enforcement agencies. The document contained drug-related violence, transportation and distribution routes, and other drug related trends and issues in Arizona.
"I assisted my law enforcement supervisor in creating this document," said Sevciuc. "I gathered and analyzed drug related activity on the Arizona highway system and created a variety of maps and charts that we added to the threat report."
In addition to her DHE duties, Sevciuc is assigned to the Threats and Production Unit within the Arizona HIDTA ISC, which is responsible for reviewing data, producing situational awareness and officer safety bulletins.
"The officers have to know what is going on," said Sevciuc. "If something is a threat to our officers, we put out an awareness bulletin for their safety."
Sevciuc says she is very satisfied with the work she provides for the Air National Guard and the JCNTF and says she strives to perform at 120 percent every day to get the job done.
"I enjoy my job and it's the most professional work environment I've ever had," said Sevciuc. "Everyone here is very work-oriented, and the support we provide to the law agencies makes a difference."

People cheer after speeches were made at the Freedom Indiana rally opposing the constitutional ban on gay marriage, at the Artsgarden in Downtown Indianapolis on Monday January 13, 2014.
Letter writer Don Fisher Jr. chimed in on the same-sex marriage debate, writing that "?they (Matt Tully and Erika Smith) dredge up some sob story about why same-sex marriage is a civil right, despite the fact that they have zero proof that it's anything but a personal choice, rather than a genetic assignment."
Fisher hits on the key point of this debate, which boils down to whether there is a choice to being gay or lesbian. If there is no choice to sexual preference, like the color of one's skin for instance, then denying equal rights is discrimination. Fisher writes that he believes that sexual preference is a choice, that people make a conscious decision about the gender to which they are attracted. So, if it's a choice, does that mean that Fisher could someday choose to be sexually attracted to men? There's your proof, and that's why it's a civil rights issue.

Commissioning Experimence from PEP-II HER Longitudinal Feedback
AbstractThe DSP-based bunch-by-bunch feedback system installed in the PEP-II HER has been used to damp HOM-induced instabilities at beam currents up to 605 mA during commissioning. Beam pseudospectra calculated from feedback system data indicate the presence of coupled bunch modes that coincide with the 0-M-2 cavity HOM. Bunch current and synchronous phase measurements are also extracted from the data. These measurements reveal the impedance seen by the beam at revolution harmonics. The impedance peak at 3*frev indicates incorrect parking of the idle cavities, and explains the observed instability of mode 3. Bunch synchrotron tunes are calculated from lorentzian fits to the data. Bunch-to-bunch tune variation due to the cavity transient is shown to be large enough to result in Landau damping of coupled bunch modes.

Every year there is a guy or two who goes from unknown to first day NFL pick based on an impressive performance at the NFL Combine. Likewise, there are always a few big name players who see their draft stock slide after a sub-par showing.

A copy of Adolf Hitler's infamous memoir 'Mein Kampf.'
- Filed Under
On his birthday this year, Kim Jong Un reportedly gave every child in North Korea candy, according to CNBC. So what did he get his top officials? Copies of Hitler's Mein Kampf, the Washington Post reports.
The gift was part of a larger effort by Kim to encourage military leaders to study Germany's post-WWI reconstruction, and follow rumors that Kim carefully studied Hitler while attending school in Switzerland.
"Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in World War I, Kim Jong Un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked ...

Does a quality education help major-league baseball players up their game?
Not so much, according to this Washington Post story by James Wagner, reporting from Florida where the Washington Nationals are in spring training.
Wagner writes that the Nationals clubhouse has had an uncommon collection of players from highly regarded universities, including Stanford and Princeton universities, the University of Virginia and WIlliam & Mary.
The story said:
All the players interviewed said lacking an education from a well-regarded school wouldn't preclude them from excelling in baseball. For example, Ian Desmond and Jayson Werth, who were drafted out of high school, and Bryce Harper and Adam LaRoche, who attended junior colleges, are known as smart and keenly aware baseball players.
"There's guys I've ran into who are analytical, very sharp guys, who were high school-drafted guys," said [pitcher Ryan] Mattheus, 29, who could have attended Arizona State but chose to sign with the Colorado Rockies in 2004. "As far as does it make a difference in your playing career, I don't think so. There's guys who get drafted out of high school who could have went to Princeton. To say they're at a disadvantage, I don't think there's anything to that."

A key system produced by Teletronics Technology Corporation supported the initial series of engine runs – including full afterburner tests – in the first Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter on Sept. 15-18. The aircraft's first flight is planned for later this year.
Teletronics Technology Corporation (TTC), Newtown, PA is the supplier of the Airborne Instrumentation Data Acquisition System (IDAS) used to validate the performance of the F-35 during the System Development and Demonstration phase (SDD) of this critical combat aircraft program. The Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, is a stealthy, supersonic, multi-role, 5th Generation fighter designed for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy.
The P&W F135 is the most powerful engine ever in a jet fighter, producing 40,000 pounds of thrust. The aircraft is tied down during engine ground tests. A mobile mission control facility is used to monitor the engine and aircraft systems operations through measurements telemetered from the aircraft. More than 3600 measurements were relayed to the mobile facility from the TTC aircraft instrumentation system during the tests.
TTC also provides the software and support used for on-site programming, preflight checkout and data downloading for analysis including the critical IEEE-1394 Bus parameters. The Bus messages are processed for both 100% recording and selected safety of test information.
Lockheed Martin management recognized the Integrated Test Force (ITF) Team and their suppliers, including TTC, for their on-site efforts in the weeks prior to the test. Mansour Radmand, TTC President, stated that "the TTC staff was proud to be part of this historic program and that TTC recognizes that service and support are essential to our customers." TTC was previously recognized by the F-35 Integrated Product Team as a Distinguished Supplier.
The equipment provided is based on the TTC "Commercial Off The Shelf" (COTS)

History of the Clean Air Act
- Introduction
- Clean Air Act of 1970
- Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977
- Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
- Milestones
The legal authority for federal programs regarding air pollution control is based on the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (1990 CAAA). These are the latest in a series of amendments made to the Clean Air Act (CAA). This legislation modified and extended federal legal authority provided by the earlier Clean Air Acts of 1963 and 1970.
The Air Pollution Control Act of 1955 was the first federal legislation involving air pollution. This Act provided funds for federal research in air pollution. The Clean Air Act of 1963 was the first federal legislation regarding air pollution control. It established a federal program within the U.S. Public Health Service and authorized research into techniques for monitoring and controlling air pollution. In 1967, the Air Quality Act was enacted in order to expand federal government activities. In accordance with this law, enforcement proceedings were initiated in areas subject to interstate air pollution transport. As part of these proceedings, the federal government for the first time conducted extensive ambient monitoring studies and stationary source inspections.
The Air Quality Act of 1967 also authorized expanded studies of air pollutant emission inventories, ambient monitoring techniques, and control techniques.
Clean Air Act of 1970
The enactment of the Clean Air Act of 1970 (1970 CAA) resulted in a major shift in the federal government's role in air pollution control. This legislation authorized the development of comprehensive federal and state regulations to limit emissions from both stationary (industrial) sources and mobile sources. Four major regulatory programs affecting stationary sources were initiated: the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS, pronounced "knacks"), State Implementation Plans (SIPs), New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs). Furthermore, the enforcement authority was substantially expanded. The adoption of this very important legislation occurred at approximately the same time as the National Environmental Policy Act that established the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA was created on December 2, 1970 in order to implement the various requirements included in these Acts.
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977
Major amendments were added to the Clean Air Act in 1977 (1977 CAAA). The 1977 Amendments primarily concerned provisions for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of air quality in areas attaining the NAAQS. The 1977 CAAA also contained requirements pertaining to sources in non-attainment areas for NAAQS. A non-attainment area is a geographic area that does not meet one or more of the federal air quality standards. Both of these 1977 CAAA established major permit review requirements to ensure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS.
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
Another set of major amendments to the Clean Air Act occurred in 1990 (1990 CAAA). The 1990 CAAA substantially increased the authority and responsibility of the federal government. New regulatory programs were authorized for control of acid deposition (acid rain) and for the issuance of stationary source operating permits. The NESHAPs were incorporated into a greatly expanded program for controlling toxic air pollutants. The provisions for attainment and maintenance of NAAQS were substantially modified and expanded. Other revisions included provisions regarding stratospheric ozone protection, increased enforcement authority, and expanded research programs.
Some principal milestones in the evolution of the Clean Air Act are:
The Air Pollution Control Act of 1955
- First federal air pollution legislation
- Funded research for scope and sources of air pollution
Clean Air Act of 1963
- Authorized the development of a national program to address air pollution related environmental problems
- Authorized research into techniques to minimize air pollution
Air Quality Act of 1967
- Authorized enforcement procedures for air pollution problems involving interstate transport of pollutants
- Authorized expanded research activities
Clean Air Act 1970
- Authorized the establishment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards
- Established requirements for State Implementation Plans to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
- Authorized the establishment of New Source Performance Standards for new and modified stationary sources
- Authorized the establishment of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
- Increased enforcement authority
- Authorized requirements for control of motor vehicle emissions
1977 Amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1970
- Authorized provisions related to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration
- Authorized provisions relating to areas which are non-attainment with respect to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1970
- Authorized programs for Acid Deposition Control
- Authorized a program to control 189 toxic pollutants, including those previously regulated by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
- Established permit program requirements
- Expanded and modified provisions concerning the attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards
- Expanded and modified enforcement authority
- Established a program to phase out the use of chemicals that deplete the ozone layer.
