Lance Armstrong to help 'clean up cycling'
AUSTIN, Texas -- An attorney for Lance Armstrong told the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency the cyclist will cooperate with efforts to "clean up cycling," though it's the sport's governing body and world anti-doping officials who should take the lead.
In letters sent this week between attorneys for Armstrong and USADA, and obtained by The Associated Press, USADA attorney William Bock requested Armstrong testify under oath by Feb. 6, but the cyclist's attorney, Tim Herman, responds that Armstrong cannot accommodate that schedule.
Last week, Armstrong admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.
Herman's letter said Armstrong intends to appear before the International Cycling Union's planned "truth and reconciliation" commission.
Herman says the cycling union and the World Anti-Doping Agency should take the lead in cleaning up the sport.

If you haven't yet, please see part 1 of the SAG Awards Red Carpet Fashion. If you have, let's continue with the best and the worst…
It is very difficult to pull off hot pink and black without looking too Avril Lavigne. Unfortunately, I don't think this was styled right. A metallic belt of some sort would have been a better choice (as seen on the original model ) and then maybe the shoes would have worked. But in this situation, I hate the shoes. Overall, not my favorite of the night.
I applaud her for taking a risk and doing pants on the red carpet. She actually looks great and her body is perfect for this outfit. However, the details are what makes me not love the outfit. I am usually against clear jewels and black together (very Jessica McClintock circa 2002) so I am not loving the jeweled detail at the shoulders…I would have liked it better in gold. This outfit could use some color as well but I'm just being picky. She's working those pants and I'm not hating it!
Has she ever been on my worst dressed list? I don't think so. I loved this dress on the runway and I love it on her. The belt is the perfect way to subtly dress it down. The hair is done but with a little beachy feel to it. Her body looks amazing in this and its overall perfection. She always does it right!
First off, I love seeing Alexander McQueen on the red carpet. Some of the designs can be risky for certain occasions but I always appreciate a fashion risk taker. However, this dress was on the safer side (as far as a McQueen) but it's perfect for this event. Her hair looks flawless (I actually wish for my hair to look like this on a daily basis) and she just looks AMAZING. The belt was not shown on the original model and I'm actually kind of loving it with the belt. Belts were big for the SAGs this year…have you noticed?
Not a store bought cake (see my commentary from the Golden Globes) so that's a step in the right direction. I'm not the biggest fan of black accessories with a white dress and I am definitely hating the hair. Regardless, she's pregnant so I can't be too picky and the dress is really beautiful.
I actually really like this dress (especially the lace back) but I'm not loving the styling here. The hair is flat and drab. The necklace ruins the entire look for me. And I'm needing a few bracelets in the picture. It's a good base for a look but just not executed well.
I applaud her (and/or her stylist) for the unconventional accessory pairings. I feel like we would normally see a nude shoe here so I appreciate the bronze peep toes. I also think the blue/green earrings are the perfect touch of color to this pastel dress. This is a simple dress styled right. Love it!
This is just okay for me. The good is that her body looks amazing (did you hear the E! camera guys loving on her?) but the bad is that it looks a little cheap to me. I love that color blue but I like it better when the carpet is not red. The two colors always clash (especially when the dress is long) and it's something I can't get passed. Overall, she looks stunning but the dress isn't my favorite.
I think this is the best Tina Fey has EVER looked on the red carpet. I normally don't even like red dresses but the texture of this one is absolutely beautiful and it makes her body look amazing. I don't love the hair and I prefer a metallic bag with a red dress but those are just minor details. So happy she went with color!

If you live in or near Liverpool you are in for a treat this weekend, as from Tuesday Sound City returns. And this year the collection of bands that are playing are very impressive especially if you like your psych 60s influenced music.
It seems like the whole group of Heavenly Records psych bands are playing so you can hear Temples, Stealing Sheep, Toy and Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs. Also playing are French psych chanteuse Melody's Echo Chamber (above), atmospheric Northern band By The Sea and ex Coral man Bill Ryder Jones who will be playing tunes from his excellent new album – A bad Wind Blows In My Heart.
If you are going then to get you in the mood here is a collection of the bands on a Spotify playlist. If you are not Liverpool-bound, just enjoy some of the best new bands of the last couple of years.

Choo Freshman and Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Zaatini Coach of the Year
MACON, Ga. (April 18, 2013) – Going undefeated in Atlantic Sun play, the ETSU women's tennis team was guaranteed at least some recognition when the league released its postseason honors and awards on Thursday. The Lady Bucs certainly were not denied.
Freshman Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) topped the list, being named both Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Choo was subsequently put on the All-Atlantic Sun First Team, Freshman Team and Academic All-Conference Team. Director of ETSU Tennis Yaser Zaatini took home another top award, being named the A-Sun Coach of the Year for his first time as head of the women's program and fourth time overall.
"It's an honor, but I also have to take the extreme privilege of dividing this award," said Zaatini, who is in his third season as head coach of the women's program. "None of the team's successes can be accomplished without Travis [Sandlant], Ricky [Rojas], Jonathan [Berhane] or Jessica [Giuggioli]. This is a team effort. As being a tenured person, I get a lot of the credit, but there is no doubt that the staff we hired are perfectly capable of doing this and without them none of the success would be possible."
Two more Lady Bucs joined Choo on the first team with senior Antonia Kolovou (Larisa, Greece) and junior Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) completing the trio. Freshman Anna Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) joined the party, making the second team and all-freshman team. The pairing of Choo and Gerbasi – ranked No. 63 in the latest ITA National Doubles Poll – earned second team doubles honors, as did Andreazza and junior Sofia Espana (Mexico City).
Keeping with its new-found tradition of honoring student-athletes for achievements both academically and athletically, the Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference team was unveiled, highlighted by Choo being named Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The redshirt freshman carries a 4.0 GPA in pre-pharmacy through two semesters at ETSU. Andreazza was also named to the list with a 3.98 GPA in business.
Choo's bundle of postseason awards are well earned, posting a record of 30-7 overall, 17-1 over the spring and 8-0 in Atlantic Sun play. She is a perfect 2-0 in the No. 2 spot and 9-0 at the No. 3, carrying a 15-match winning streak into this weekend's tournament championship. With two victories, she will tie former Lady Buc Sandie Knight for the most wins in a single season (32-9, 2006).
ETSU's newest sensation also teams with classmate Anna Gerbasi (Caracas, Venezuela) at No. 1 doubles, where the two hold a 24-8 overall record and perfect 8-0 mark in A-Sun play. Choo and Gerbasi carry a 12-match winning streak into the weekend.
Kolovou's first team honors come in the midst of a 22-11 campaign, 14-3 dual, 7-1 A-Sun, where she has gone 12-2 in No. 1 singles matches. Kolovou's lone A-Sun loss came in the regular season finale last weekend, but her dominance has been felt by the rest of the league and many non-conference opponents.
Andreazza garners first team honors for the second year in a row, going 6-1 in conference singles action. Andreazza boasts an 8-1 spring mark in No. 2 matches to go along with another win the No. 3 hole. She and Espana earned the second team doubles honors by teaming to go 5-0 in conference play and 6-1 on the spring season. The pairing has won its last six matches.
Gerbasi's singles honors result from her undefeated 7-0 A-Sun season, along with a 20-9 overall record and 11-4 spring record. Gerbasi is primarily ETSU's option on court four, where she went 7-1 in the spring.
Aside from Andreazza, all honors are the first for each of the respective Lady Bucs as Kolovou, Choo, Gerbasi and Espana are all in their first competitive season with ETSU.
The Lady Buccaneers look ahead to the 2013 Atlantic Sun Tournament Championship, beginning Friday from the ETSU Tennis Complex. ETSU is the No. 1 seed and will start play in Saturday's semifinal round.

Goffstown school locked down during scare at nearby libraryBy Henry Metz
Union Leader Correspondent
April 19. 2013 3:15PM
GOFFSTOWN -- A heavy police presence at the library on Friday afternoon sent the nearby elementary school into "a modified shelter in place."
Police were called to Goffstown Public Library at approximately 2 p.m. on Friday after someone who appeared to be a vagrant walked into the library, prompting concern among library employees. Employees called police and then quickly evacuated the library building.
When police responded, the individual was questioned but no charges were brought and no arrest was made, according to Police Chief Patrick Sullivan.
The chief said nearby Maple Avenue Elementary School went into "modified shelter in place," which means students and teachers stay in their classrooms until they get the all-clear, which they got about a half-hour later.
"It was just some homeless guy. He was just looking for some clothes, that's all," said Sullivan.

State awards $42,000 to Warner to replace broken oil burner
April 19. 2013 4:25AM
WARNER - A state finance authority has awarded a $42,000 grant to the town of Warner to replace a broken oil burner in the Old Graded School building, the agency announced.
The building houses organizations that provides services to the town's low- and moderate-income populations, according to the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority.
Those tenants include the fuel assistance, Head Start, Meals on Wheels, and food pantry programs run by the Community Action Program of Belknap-Merrimack Counties; the Warner Cooperative Pre-School and a community seniors room.
The funds, which come from the federal government, are a Community Development Block Grant.
The grant must be approved by the state Executive Council before it can be released.
"The building would likely be shut down if a new heating system could not be obtained, and the important community services provided by its tenants would be interrupted," said Kevin Flynn, spokesman for the Finance Authority. "This grant will pay for a new boiler without adding an undue burden on the property owners of Warner."
Currently, rooms in the building are being spot heated with electric and kerosene heaters.

Parents and citizens will have the opportunity to meet and speak with the new administration of Bastrop High School Monday night.
Newly named Principal Dr. David Nordman said the gathering would be a time for the public to put a face to the names of the new administration, many of whom have taught in the Morehouse Parish School system in other capacities. "This is just an informal way of us being able to meet the citizens as well as faculty and parents before the new school years starts," Nordman said. Nordman, who most recently worked as the supervisor of secondary curriculum and instruction for the parish, has also served as Principal at the Morehouse Magnet School. He will lead a team of assistant principals which includes Rene Fonte and Helen I.P. Smith as well as Lori Wallace, who will be the main administrator for the Freshman Academy. Fonte has worked within the school system for many years. He was the Principal at Morehouse Junior High before accepting his new position as Vice-Principal. Smith, a Bastrop native, has most recently been an administrator in East Carroll Parish. She is returning to her hometown as Vice-Principal. Wallace, who has been at Bastrop High School for several years, will take over the Freshman Academy this fall. She was previously the Principal at East Side Elementary before coming to BHS. The open house will be held at 6 p.m. in the school's cafeteria and the public is invited to attend.

From Jennifer Rubin:
If he intends to base his last two years on vilifying Republicans, he may succeed — in solidifying the not-Obama, center-right coalition.
Bill Clinton ran circles around the GOP Congress following the 1994 midterm debacle because he was more amiable, flexible, and adroit than his opponents. Whatever his faults, Clinton didn't hate our guts. He loved being president, and he loved being praised by his fellow citizens. Obama suffers us — first in silence and now in public. And flexibility has really not been his strong suit. In short, Democrats long for a repeat of post-1994, but they lack the Bill Clinton part of the equation. (Frankly, they also lack the Newt Gingrich villain figure. Whatever their shortcomings, the current GOP leadership generally avoids personal displays of grandiosity and lacks a compulsion to say whatever ludicrously daft thought pops into their heads.)
So for those Democrats licking their chops at the prospect of an Obama-GOP face-off, they might want to reconsider. Isn't it just as likely Obama will make the Republicans look better than the other way around? He's sure done that during the midterm campaign.
Read it all.

Peter Berg to direct Father's Day
Peter Berg is to direct 'Father's Day'.
The 'Battleship' filmmaker - who helped Rihanna through her big screen debut in the sci-fi movie - has signed up to helm an adaptation of the book by 'Friday Night Lights' writer Buzz Bissinger, who also happens to be Peter's cousin.
The tome - which was published in May - tells the story of the author's relationship with his twin sons, one of whom has intellectual difficulties, and the book centres around a road trip from Philadelphia to Los Angeles taken by father and son that helped Buzz understand his child a lot more.
Peter - who has written a number of sports books including '3 Nights In August' - has taken the potential film to Universal, where he has a first-look deal, and he is also gearing up to work with the studio on another book adaptation, 'Lone Survivor', which will see him direct.
The project is set to star Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster and 'Friday Night Lights' star Taylor Kitsch, with the trio expected to play three Navy SEALs who get captured by the Taliban.

More Manchester cabs are back on the roadBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 04. 2013 5:15PM
MANCHESTER - Almost half of the city's fleet of 18 taxis were back on the road Thursday after an annual inspection sent many of the vehicles back to the garage for repairs.
Kevin Kincaid, director of licensing enforcement for the Manchester City Clerk, said eight taxis were in service by Thursday afternoon after clearing a police inspection conducted earlier in the week.
"Hopefully tomorrow afternoon we should have three-fourths of the fleet," Kincaid said.
There were only four cabs in service on Wednesday, a day after a number of taxis failed inspection and the owners of the city's two cab companies surrendered the other medallions voluntarily, Kincaid said.
Minor repairs like cracked windshields or headlights were easily repaired, while other vehicles needed more extensive work before inspectors would give the green light.

I couldn't even believe my eyes a few days ago when I saw several of my friends posting pictures on Facebook of their children heading back to school. It just seems to be slipping by us so quickly this year. Graham is headed for 1st grade and couldn't be more excited about it. I am thrilled for him, but also sad to see another summer passing us by.
With that said, I am delighted to share with you all this tasty and great school lunch recipe to add to your lunch box round-up. These sweet little roll-ups were inspired by Graham since he loves all things that roll and does not necessarily love strawberries. That's right, a kid who is not a huge fan of them! Well, because they are in season and because my youngest son loves them I didn't want them to go to waste. Graham's biggest issue with strawberries stems from the texture (all those tiny seeds). So, I came up with a solution that even he likes. If you pair these with other goodies in a lunch box you could easily have enough for two days (just cut in half and store in the fridge).
Sweet Strawberry Roll-ups
3 medium sized strawberries
1 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. honey
1 whole wheat tortilla
BEGIN by cutting the tops off of the strawberries and placing them in a bowl with the cinnamon and honey.
MASH the strawberries until they are a puree consistency and mix well using a potato masher.
SPREAD the cream cheese over the whole wheat tortilla and top with strawberry mixture. Roll tightly and cut in half.
There you have it! Easy as can be. I hope this helps you add another new item to your lunch box menu this school year. Make sure to check out the rest of my school lunch ideas.
For more recipes and ideas, visit my blog at www.gograhamgo.com.
No time to whip up strawberry crepes? Made with cinnamon, honey and a whole wheat tortilla, these roll-ups are a quick and tasty alternative!

Experts say temperatures could be in the upper 20s in Manatee and in the 30s in Sarasota Monday night.
Bruce Shackelford, president of Four Star Tomato, intends to keep a wary eye on the thermometer tonight and early Monday morning as he heeds freeze warnings that could threaten his crops in Parrish and Myakka City.
Like other growers of citrus, vegetables or ornamental plants in Southwest Florida, Shackelford is looking forward to temperatures that are supposed to climb back into the 70s by Monday afternoon.
And he hopes his business will not have suffered overnight.
To protect tomatoes he intends to harvest in April and May, Shackelford said he would irrigate with "warm water and pray."
He did not intend to cover his crops. "You can do a lot of damage by covering them," Shackelford said.
If the freeze lasts just a couple of hours, as predicted, his crops should survive, he said. "That's what we're hoping."
Robert Garcia, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Ruskin, said temperatures are expected to be in the upper 20s in eastern Manatee, hover in the 30s in eastern Sarasota and be at or below freezing in inland Charlotte.
Temperatures could drop to the upper 20s and below in DeSoto County.
The city of Sarasota is expected to dip to 38 degrees, Bradenton to 35 degrees and the Englewood area to about 36 degrees.
Garcia said residents throughout the region are advised to brings pets indoors and farmers should protect their livestock.
Firefighters warn residents not to use propane heaters indoors and to make sure space heaters are away from other objects.
Lisa Lochridge, spokesperson for the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, said she expected the worst potential crop damage to be in north Florida, the Panhandle and perhaps areas such as Immokalee and west Palm Beach County.
Aside from tomatoes, strawberries and vegetables such as snap beans and bell peppers are still in the ground this time of year, Lochridge said.
Covering crops "is not practical on a large scale," Lochridge said.
So, farmers can best protect their fields and groves with irrigation, as Shackelford is doing.
"It forms a protective layer of ice," Lochridge said.
Ron Hamel, executive vice-president of the Gulf Citrus Growers Association, said much of the citrus crop is already harvested but that Valencia oranges, "the pricey oranges," have not been picked yet.
Citrus growers will water trees to protect their remaining crops.
If the weather hits 28 degrees for four or more hours, ice crystals could form inside the fruit, Hamel said.
"We don't anticipate anything like that but there could be leaf damage," Hamel said.
Laurel Schiller, co-owner of Florida Native Plants and Landscaping in Old Miakka, said her business is moving its more sensitive plants — about 10 percent of her inventory is tropical — into greenhouses.
"We've covering what we can't move back," Schiller said.
She advises residents to water "your tender plants well and cover them... Younger plants and newly seeded plants suffer when it gets this cold."
Schiller expects temperatures in rural areas to be 8 to 10 degrees colder than along the coasts.
Many residents moving into rural areas are surprised by the occasional freeze, Schiller said. "They move out thisdirection and they want to plant what they see growing on the coast."
Schiller hopes the cold snap, which follows a freeze in December, is this season's last.
"I thought we were done with winter," Schiller said.

CONCORD — More than 300 full-time New Hampshire Army National Guard military technicians received furlough notices Tuesday as the federal government shutdown hit the Granite State.
The U.S. Small Business Administration was closed, but the federal court was open. Mail was delivered as usual and there was no delay in Social Security checks.Gov. Maggie Hassan said New Hampshire government "will continue to operate, carrying out the normal functions of state government, although there may be some disruption in individual programs that are not yet funded."
Her spokesman, William Hinkle said the National Guard "will be the hardest hit."
Lt. Col. Greg Heilshorn, the Guard's state public affairs officer, said that 332 of 450 full-time military technicians "are being furloughed," without pay. "The letters are going out today (Tuesday)."
The other 118 technicians "are exempted based on the kinds of missions they support," Heilshorn said. He said 100 of those exempted are Air National Guardsmen working at the Pease International Tradeport directly supporting the Guard's re-fueling mission, which, he said, is "a 24/7 operation in direct support of combat operations overseas.
"That is the most critical mission that we support on a daily basis," Heilshorn said.
He said the furloughs were prioritized based on the missions the workers support.
Heilshorn said the furloughs officially started on Tuesday, "and everyone who came to work will eventually be paid for (Tuesday), but their first day away from work is (Wednesday)."
"We're going down uncharted waters here," he said. "This is open ended. There will be hardships for sure."
Heilshorn said that many Guard units have also postponed their October drills, but in the event of a natural disaster or other event requiring the Guard's services, "We would still have enough personnel available to respond.
"Right now, worst case, scenario, if there is some sort of natural disaster that struck New Hampshire, we'd have more than 1,700 Guardsmen available to call up," he said.
Since they would be on "state active duty," said Heilshorn, "They would be mobilized with state funding, not federal funding."
Heilshorn said it is "a frustrating time" for the Guard.
"Soldiers and airmen are affected are frustrated, angry and on the whole it's an unsettling time," he said. "These are men and women who have volunteered to wear the uniform.
"Unlike other civilian federal employees, they go to war and some have been injured and some have seen direct combat if not supporting combat operations.
"It's frustrating to collectively give of yourself like that and then suffer through something that is out of your control," Heilshorn said.
He also said that for many technicians, it is their second furlough in less than a year.
"We went through sequestration throughout the summer and any time that your pay is cut, whether you're a government worker or a civilian worker, it can be a hardship," he said.
Stephen Heavener, director of the Capital Regional Development Council, which provides SBA loans statewide, said the shutdown "will have a major negative impact on commercial real estate and small business lending in New Hampshire."
Heavener said in a memo that the SBA has stopped processing SBA 7A loan guarantees and SBA 504 certified development company loans.
Heavener said that as of Aug. 31, 441 SBA loans totaling $89.5 million were approved during the first 11 months of the just-ended fiscal year. Of those, 83 loans totaling $32.5 million were SBA 504 loans.
"The Capital Regional Development Council is one of the five SBA certified development companies in New Hampshire, none of which can secure approval of an SBA 504 loan during the shutdown," Heavener said.
He said the council also manages several small business direct loan programs "to assist growing small businesses," but, "the program falls far short of the much-needed loan funds provided under SBA programs."
The U.S. District Court in Concord stated on its web site that the court and the adjacent federal building will remain open, but, "If no agreement is reached in the first ten (10) days of October to fund government activities, the Judiciary will reassess its situation and provide further guidance."
The court said all proceeding deadlines remain in effect and its Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) will remain in operation for the electronic filing of documents.
Employees of the White Mountain National Forest were being sent home Tuesday afternoon and will not return until the shutdown has ended.
Forest services spokesman Tiffany Benna did not respond to Union Leader calls seeking updates, but she told the Concord Monitor that forest officials were considering "suspending timber-sale contracts and other contracts, and we will be closing some of the recreation facilities where we cannot guarantee the health and safety of our visitors."
But Jayne O'Connor, president of the White Mountain Attractions Association, said visitors are unlikely to be affected.
"With no entrance gate or toll both, New Hampshire's White Mountains should appear mostly unaffected to visitors, O'Connor said. "The state parks are open, the private businesses and the scenic drives are open and even the National Forest campgrounds are open because they are operated by a vendor."
She said the federal welcome centers and ranger stations will be closed, "so visitors will need to get their maps and services from private or state visitor centers instead."
Hassan said she joined Granite Staters "in their frustration over Congress' inability to pass a clean continuing resolution to avert" a federal shutdown.
She said the shutdown "will damage our economy and cause unnecessary hardship to New Hampshire families. It is simply unconscionable that, at the expense of the needs of our people, some members of Congress have chosen to put their extreme ideology first and continue to fight battles they have already lost."
Hassan spokesman Hinkle said Medicaid and other programs remain funded, either through prior-year balances or because they are essential programs exempt from the shutdown.
"There may be some delay in reimbursements, but because funds have been previously allocated, these programs are not yet constrained," Hinkle said. "We will face challenges the longer the shutdown drags on and federal funds are exhausted, but the State of New Hampshire will continue to operate."

Tia Mowry: 'The Mistle-Tones' Premieres Sunday!
Tia Mowry has some fun on the ice during ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Winter Wonderland event held at Rockefeller Center in New York City on Sunday afternoon (December 2).
The 34-year-old actress is preparing for the premiere of her new ABC Family movie, The Mistle-Tones!
In the new musical holiday flick, Holly (Mowry), who is blessed with an amazing singing voice, is all set to audition for the newly vacated spot in a legendary local Christmas group which was founded by her late mother years ago.
Shocked and upset when the slot goes to the barely talented best friend of the group's leader, Marci (Tori Spelling), Holly sets out to create her own musical group, The Mistle-Tones.
After challenging their rivals to a sing-off on Christmas Eve, Holly finds herself on a journey to the real meaning of Christmas–with some new friends and a new love thrown in for good measure.
The Mistle-Tones premieres Sunday, December 9th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC Family.
FYI: At the Winter Wonderland event, Tia wore a BooHoo blazer, Piper Gore leather shorts and Vince Camuto blouse. 30+ pics inside…

"Watch a Nasa shuttle burning a path into space or a video of Saturn's rings taken by the Cassini satellite and it's hard not to marvel at man's technological prowess. But the surprising truth is that space exploration is built on IT which lags many years behind that found in today's consumer gadgets and corporate PCs. To this day, Nasa still uses elements of technology that powered the moon landings of the 1960s and 1970s, while the International Space Station - the manned station circling the Earth 250 miles above our heads - relies on processors dating back more than two decades."

Wells Fargo, the biggest U.S. mortgage lender, posted a higher-than-expected 20 percent rise in quarterly profit on Friday as it set aside less money to cover bad loans and earned more from its mortgage business.
The results reflect the strengthening U.S. housing market, which is cutting the bank's expenses for items such as managing foreclosed homes. Income from making home loans rose 9 percent from a year earlier.
Mortgage lending gains may slow in coming quarters, analysts said. Mortgage interest rates have risen in recent months as longer-term bonds have sold off, which will likely cut into future mortgage lending profit.
Wells Fargo Chief Executive John Stumpf said on a conference call that the bank is diversified and has some businesses that perform better when rates rise.
The fourth-biggest U.S. bank by assets said net income applicable to common stockholders rose to $5.27 billion, or 98 cents per share, in the second quarter from $4.40 billion, or 82 cents per share, a year earlier.

Mobile CRM Gives Retailers Ammo Against Showrooming
Oct 9, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Showrooming enabled by the proliferation of smartphones has become the bane of brick-and-mortar retailers. Basically, consumers waltz into a local Best Buy or similar big box store, find the product they are thinking of buying and check it out. So far, so good, from the retailer's perspective -- only then they go online, sometimes even while standing in the store aisle -- to buy it from an etailer like Amazon.
Such behavior is in part responsible for Best Buy's lackluster performance of late. Now retailers are fighting back with their own mobile strategies to best online retailers in this scramble for sales. Retailers are also bringing to the table advantages such as superior customer service and in-store tech support and setup to tip the scales in their favor.
Geofencing Plus Mobile CRM
"Retailers are getting smarter, using such technologies as geofencing and mobile CRM," Craig Elimeliah, VP and director of technology and digital solutions at RAPP, told CRM Buyer.
This mix of technologies allows retailers to market to consumers directly when they are in the store, allowing them to push coupons or special offers on the spot, he said. Or even just say hello.
"That type of serendipitous engagement, with no strings attached -- just a 'hello Craig, welcome to our store' -- means a lot to consumers," Elimeliah said.
A Value-Add Piece
Most retailers now have the basics covered, Jordan Socran, vice president of business development for Radialpoint, told CRM Buyer. That is, they have mobile Web pages for consumers to browse inventory and place orders.
Increasingly, though, brick-and-mortar retailers are adding a service component to these mobile offerings to build a post- purchase relationship, he added, which is something that online retailers are not as well equipped to offer.
"These would fall into the category of device-based applications that provide quick access to a concierge service to help with a purchase," said Socran.
The Face-to-Face Play
Face-to-face contact with customers, coupled with mobile CRM technology, appears to be brick-and-mortar retailers' secret sauce.
"The most important thing for retailers to do is equip sales associates with technology, such as an app, which prepares the employee for face-to-face interactions by providing a complete, 360-degree view of the customer," Al Beery, software retail expert at Pitney Bowes, told CRM Buyer.
"Showrooming can be damaging to a business. However, it also presents an opportunity for retailers to rethink their strategy, leverage their in-store advantages, and make on- and offline channels complement each other," he said.
Enter the Tablet Era
Tablets -- in the hands of sales people, that is -- are pushing these strategies up a notch. Earlier this spring, Nordstrom equipped its sales people with tablets and an iPad app that lets customers buy made-to-measure Joseph Abboud suits. Measurements are taken by the sales representive and entered into the app. The order is then sent directly from the iPad to a tailoring facility and shipped to the customer within two weeks.
Nordstrom is typically a retailer that pushes the envelope with customer service, so its foray into this particular style of service is not surprising.
Other retailers are following suit. Mutual Mobile, for example, recently unveiled an app that lets shoppers browse catalog options and availability using an iPad. Men's clothier J.Hilburn, car manufacturer Audi, and commercial real estate service Costar are already using the app.

Over-consumption is the root cause of what is plaguing our aquifer.
On the surface, North Florida's two regional water management districts appear to be showing commendable initiative in studying ways to recharge our depleted and declining aquifer.
Among the ideas being floated by the Suwannee and St. Johns districts' joint North Florida Aquifer Replenishment Initiative: Pump treated wastewater back into the aquifer, or divert floodwaters and surface waters from the Suwannee and St. Johns rivers and other surface waterways into deep water wells ... and then back into the aquifer. It seems so logical, so simple and proponents no doubt will argue some of the surface water filters down to the aquifer anyway.
But the problem with such big engineering solutions is that they ignore the root cause of what is plaguing our aquifer: over-consumption. Neither district has even begun to scratch the surface when it comes to instituting a serious water conservation ethic for North Florida, despite continuous warnings from both that North Florida's groundwater supply is inadequate to meet the region's needs a generation from now. Meanwhile, the districts continue issuing more permits and looking for even more ways to pump more water. Remember St. Johns' idea to build a water pumping plant and 500 miles of pipe on the Ocklawaha River to provide water, not to our region, but to thirsting Orlando and environs? At a cost of some $800 million, we might add. Luckily, that tap was turned off by heavy public opposition before it could be opened.
So once the districts figure out how to artificially put water back into the aquifer — however cost effective or efficient such techniques may ultimately prove to be ... or not — there will be even less incentive for our water managers to actually manage our underground water resources.
So we agree with Annette Long, of the Save Our Suwannee conservation group, who recently said, "What our water managers should do before they spend one more dime on recharge is to mandate water conservation year-round, whether it is raining or not, to conserve what we do have in the aquifer.
"We should treat our aquifer like a bank account," she continued. "Don't take out more than we put into it. That conservation should include not just cities and homes but also industry and agriculture."
Our water management districts and the Legislature that funds them would do well to heed Long's words. For too long the districts have treated our aquifer like a blank check whenever anyone came knocking asking to withdraw large quantities of water from the aquifer. The water table measurements don't lie. Our aquifer is declining steadily, yet our water managers keep acting like they always have been with virtually no serious plan for widespread conservation efforts.
On the surface, looking for big engineering solutions to falling aquifer levels is a costly and unneeded diversion to Florida's real water problem: We're using too much of it and doing nothing to reverse that reality.

Police say boys damaging mosque had possible 'bias-based motive'By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 17. 2013 10:03PM
MANCHESTER — Police filed paperwork Tuesday in juvenile court that implicates two youth in this summer's vandalism of a mosque under construction, a possible hate crime against the Muslim worship site, police said.
Two Manchester boys, aged 11 and 13, were implicated Tuesday in the July vandalism where every window in the Islamic Society of Greater Manchester mosque was shattered, said police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
She said police are still trying to identify a third culprit.
"There has been some information that suggests a bias-based motive," said Tessier, who would not provide additional details. However, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said the perpetrators bragged of the vandalism online and left comments on anti-Muslim hate sites.
The Council attributed that claim to local police and leaders of the Manchester Muslim community.
"To me, it looks like a hate crime, but we still haven't gotten all the facts yet," said Dr. Salam Malik, a Londonderry resident and trustee of the Islamic Society of Greater Manchester. He praised the work of Manchester police and called the vandalism an aberration for New Hampshire, where he said Muslims are generally well accepted.
The mosque is on Lagrange Avenue, which runs off Karatzas Avenue. The vandalism was reported on July 25, police said. Every window on the two-story structure was shattered by a rock or brick. The culprits also entered the building, dispensed foam from spray canisters on-site, and did general mischief-type damage, Tessier said.
"We are all sensitive to places of worship being damaged, regardless of the motive," Tessier said. "We were certainly pleased to have found the individuals responsible for it."
She said the two do not meet the legal requirements needed to be certified for adult prosecution.
Malik said the thermal windows had been installed just weeks before they were broken. He said the damage amounted to $33,000.
Construction on the mosque started about five years ago. Work moves forward whenever leaders amass enough donations and volunteer labor, Malik said. Last year, they made the building weather tight and construction is now focused on the interior, Malik said.
He expects it will take another two years to complete.
Local Muslim leaders have declined offers from outside the region, including the Middle East, to fund the construction. If outside money were accepted, it would have to be vetted, and the leaders would lose some control of the mosque, Malik said.
"It's a community project," he said, "we want our community involved in it."

Sometimes a little extra effort makes all the difference in the world, at least it did for the Southern Oregon University wrestling team Friday night at Bob Riehm Arena.
In a matchup featuring two of the top teams at the NAIA level, the top-ranked Raiders got some pivotal late points by sophomore Brock Gutches and a determined winning effort by senior Tyler Thomas to deny an upset bid by eighth-ranked Great Falls, 23-17.
"My hat's off to Great Falls, they wrestled a great match, too," said SOU head coach Mike Ritchey. "To come out here with a victory was great. Being in Bob Riehm Arena maybe paid off tonight."
The Argonauts held a slim 13-12 lead when Gutches stepped on the mat at 174 pounds but the returning national champion turned that around with a powerful 16-1 technical fall victory, scoring an extra team point with a three-point near fall to go with his riding time in the final seconds of the match.
In the ensuing match at 184, Thomas trailed 2-1 with one minute to go but was awarded a stalling point to even the match and then kept the pressure on to ultimately secure a takedown with 26 seconds remaining for a pivotal 4-2 triumph.
With his team now up 20-13 with the eight-point swing, junior Ethan Hinton solidified SOU's sixth straight dual match victory with another determined effort that turned into a match-clinching, 7-4 decision at 197.
While each match was important, each coach agreed that the battle between Thomas and Great Falls sophomore Adam Wolfe provided the turning point.
"If we win that, you don't know where that dual's going to go," said Great Falls head coach Caleb Schaeffer. "I think it was a 50-50 match and it went their way. They kind of snuck that one out on us."
The 10th-ranked Thomas and Wolfe battled to a stalemate in the three-minute opening period and then Thomas finally broke loose for an escape to start the second period for a 1-0 advantage. Wolfe was granted a two-point takedown with both wrestlers scrambling on the edge of the mat with 42 seconds on the clock and took a 2-1 lead into the third period.
In the final period, however, it was all Thomas as he continually pushed forward to try and get something going against Wolfe, who was tagged with a stalling point after one minute of retreating without much of an attack. Visibly gassed by exerting so much energy, Thomas still found enough in the tank to slide off Wolfe and drop in behind for a two-point takedown. Wolfe tried to flee the mat when it appeared he was in trouble but Thomas held tight and dragged his toes as the action spilled away from the circle's outer edge.
With 26 seconds remaining, Thomas held strong in the top position to ride out the victory.
"That was a huge match," said Ritchey. "Tyler stepped up. He's not the greatest wrestler we have on our feet but he's awful hard to score on. For him to redeem himself after getting that takedown (against him early), that was nice."
"You've got to just keep pounding on the guy and waiting for an opening and finally something opened up and he got to his hips and kept driving and going forward," the coach added of Thomas. "I think the reason we walked away tonight with the win is we did go forward and that's something we preach and work on every day. These (Great Falls) guys are tough to wrestle so you've got to open them up and we took the opportunities that we had and scored when we needed to, and getting bonus points when we could was huge."
Thomas' effort was especially nice because it followed Gutches' late-match surge that turned a major decision victory, that would've scored four points, into a technical fall victory that led to five points. Given the respect Ritchey has for the Argonauts, that one extra point was weighing heavily on Ritchey's mind as Thomas was battling against Wolfe.
"I thought that point might be the difference right there," Ritchey said of Gutches' match. "Then if we lose at 184, who knows? It just makes a difference when you get all the points you can get."

Top-ranked Raiders edge Great Falls
Sometimes a little extra effort makes all the difference in the world, at least it did for the Southern Oregon University wrestling team Friday night at Bob Riehm Arena.

At a state-of-the-art insurance research laboratory the United States, testing of fire suppression systems for various commodities required a specialized and controlled environment. An integral part of the testing process was a moveable platform that simulated various ceiling heights in a client's factory or warehouse. Tests to determine how to best suppress a fire are conducted at this facility. When a product is ignited, the sprinkler system is activated and the lab is able to advise the client what the optimum height and number of sprinklers required to immediately extinguish a potential fire.
Handling Specialty designed, manufactured and installed the 80'x 80' moveable ceiling for this unique testing facility. The platform travels vertically 50'; the top of the platform reaches 69' in the air at its highest point of elevation.
The four mechanically-actuated ball screws measure 63' in length and weigh approximately 2,300 lbs. each. They were thought to be the largest ball screws ever manufactured.

Next to the entry level Bell I have been wearing this is leaps and bounds above it in all respects. I sweat bigtime road riding and my first outing with the Specter shows it has exceptional airflow compared to what I am use to minimizing sweat even at low speeds. Fit is very comfortable via the internal padding and the adjustment is exceptionally easy using the dial at the back. It is way lighter than what I am use to, to the point I barely notice I am wearing it. Fits well over my Halo II sweat band I usually wear to keep sweat getting in my eyes. The visor is a tad flimsy but does the job I assume if riding off road, however, I have taken it off and plugged the holes with the two supplied plugs for road riding. Finish is excellent also with no sharp edges anywhere. Buckle is easy to use and straps are very soft and comfortable. Supplied instruction manual makes adjusting the temple and nape straps easy for the perfect fit. I believe this is a great bang for the buck upper midrange priced helmet. I like it, I like it a lot.

Last summer I had a really scary personal experience with my health, while I was on holidays with my wife. We both had some time off in July so we decided to find a peaceful island, not so popular and crowded as most of them, without much fuzz, without too many tourists and not enough night life. We didn't need to look much.on holidays
We found Samothraki , which is a natural paradise, with a lot of vegetation and really great beaches, with clean water, that also has all the requirements that I just mentioned above. We had never been there, but we had a friendly couple that was from there and always told us how wonderful Samothraki is. They could not accommodate us but they would be there during July, so we could have some time together and show us around.Samothraki
We booked our holidays and planned everything beforehand. We first drove from Samothraki to Thessaloniki to visit some other old friends and spend a nice weekend there. And it turned out that I really like Thessaloniki, so I've written some more on the topic, (see posts at the bottom).
Then on Monday morning we took our car again and drove to Alexandroupoli for a couple of hours, that is about 300 km away from Thessaloniki. Actually there's no direct connection from the seaport. So we got on the >boat at port of Alexandroupoli and got to the wonderful island of Samothraki .island of Samothraki
Everything was just great for a couple of days, were where having a wonderful time in Samothraki. Just one or two days later, though, I started feeling a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen, on the right side, that was getting sharper as time passed. At first I thought that it was probably my stomach and something spicy that I may had consumed, since I love spicy food. Then a few hours later I thought that it could be maybe food poisoning, but all my friends said it could be appendicitis .food poisoning, appendicitis
It was really late and the local medical center of the island (there's no hospital on the island) was closed.local medical center of the island
At that time, I didn't think that it was such a big deal, and that the pain would just disappear after a while. Therefore, I didn't really feel like looking for the doctor during midnight. After all, at the medical center there's only one available doctor, who was technically a doctor for types of breast cancer , and who of course can be contacted on an emergency but is not available for 24 hours in his office. Or you can just hope to find a doctor having his holidays and maybe staying on the same hotel.
(Your top 50 sounds like a good post, by the way!)
I thought I'd be *everywhere* once we moved to Italy. But the reality (aside from having a baby and two dogs) is that I'm overwhelmed just exploring this country. There's SO MUCH TO SEE and never enough time.
Congrats! I made it to all 7 continents before my 30th birthday, which wasn't even a goal until I started planning a trip to Antarctica, Chile, Argentina with a friend years ago. After that I realized I only had Asia Australia left a little over a year, so I did it. Now my goal is every country in Europe before I turn 45, which gives me 7 more years to get to 21 countries, 3 of them are already booked for this summer. I'm with you on not wanting to go to every country in the world though. Last year I traveled at least a couple days each month except November December it was too much. I got so burnt out! So yeah, no desire to get to every country.
Wow, congrats Kate! I agree that too many people just want to be able to say they've visited so many countries, but end up seeing very little of any of them. As for future travel goals, what about every state in the US? Are there any you haven't been to yet that you'd love to go too?
Wow! I definitely admire your travels an I wish I had visited so many places in Europe, Kate! Walking Camino de Santiago sounds like so much fun! I loved your list and I hope I'll get to visit at least half of these places!
Really loved this post, not many travel bloggers admit to not having the desire to travel to every single country in the world. I can also understand that feeling of relief now that you've been to all the countries in Europe and having the "freedom" to go back to repeat places. There's so many countries I'd love to re-visit, but the tug to go somewhere new is a lot louder at times.
What an amazing achievement! I wish I could do the same but I think I'm even a slower traveler and would be happy to even visit all continents, Idk maybe one country in each lol
Interestingly, the definitions further identify the role of municipalities in forging urban resilience. Often understood as the first governmental agency to respond or prepare for natural disaster recovery/mitigation, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have suggested that international efforts to implement urban resilience may not necessarily materialise and improve disaster risk reduction at the local level – often, this can manifest in tension between local and national policies.

ISO 37120, this is the International Organisation for Standardisation document titled Sustainable Development of Communities – Indicators for City Services and Quality of Life. This represents the ISO's first attempt at international standardisation of urban resilience indicators, attempting to unify a common understanding across multi-scalar institutions. ISO 37121, Sustainable Development in Communities – Inventory of Existing guidelines and Approaches on Sustainable Development and Resilience in Cities , was adopted in 2017 and represents a paradigm shift in the implementation of urban resilience. [36] This 3-year progression reflects the new phases of understanding urban resilience, moving towards operationalisation. As a result, leading organisations have adopted increasingly sophisticated and integrated definitions which unify cross-disciplinary actors, promote quantifiable indicators and recognise the holistic qualities of the networked urban system. Approaches to achieving urban resilience have, therefore, been integrative (often encompassing several disciplines) strategic policies informed by strong governance with the purpose of navigating urban development.
This contemporary operationalisation of urban resilience has materialised, for example, in Singapore, where researchers and practitioners have responded to both the AVA (Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore) and the Singaporean Institute of Architect's (SIA) call to increase Singapore's future food security via architectural/urban design solutions. The result of this has been hypothetical developments which integrate communal food systems into apartment living, thereby alleviating Singapore's fragile food security issues. This outcome is emblematic of contemporary efforts to achieve increased urban resilience by cross-disciplinary collaboration – uniting permaculture experts, NGO's, urban planners/designers, architects and community members.
