I have at least two disk arrays that will assemble units greater than 2TB but have to export them as multiple luns... Some of these controller designs are quite old despite being in newish (fibre-channel-sata enclosures) this is all seems to stem internally from their using 32 bit signed intergers for block count. (the more things change the more they stay the same) My approach (we designed it this way from the outset) was to assemble 2TB raid-6 stripes into a single 12TB volume using LVM (this was back in the era of 500GB drives). > Cheers, > > Guy >

Hot Tamales and Hotter Tamales
I've always loved cinnamon. It breaks my rule about not liking "red candy" which I made for myself at the worldly age of nine, so it may just be a rule about not liking cherry candy. My dislike for red goes back to the Red Dye #2 scare in the 70s where all red candies seemed to be called "poison" by concerned parents. To this day I can't stand red sweetarts.
As a kid I would get the box of SweeTarts at the movie theater and before eating any of them during the show I would touch my tongue to it to see what flavor it was. Reds were dismissed. Now as an adult I carefully dump out the box and remove the reds, usually giving them to The Man, who doesn't mind me poisoning him at all.
Hot Tamales are like super cinnamony jelly beans. They used to come in a box, which meant that they were more likely to get either cloudy and sticky from dampness or extra hard from drying out. But the boxes were fun because they would make noise. You could shake it to find out how much you had left and it presented a satisfying sound while you were popping them at the movies, not that annoying plastic wrap sound.
This particular bag I picked up seemed rather odd, it had a hint of watermelon flavor to it. I can't figure why, as I don't think Mike and Ike's come in watermelon flavor. But Just Born also makes mini-jelly beans called Teenie Beenies so maybe there was some cross contamination there. The real reason I picked them up was because I saw the new Hot Tamales Fire candies and wanted to compare because the regular Hot Tamales said ""Now with More Kick!" on the package.
I think Hot Tamales have been introduced in extra-zested versions before, in fact, I recall buying something in a box last September in San Francisco in a box and being rather disappointed that they were neither as hot as I wished nor as fresh. (They were cloudy looking and very grainy ... I ate them anyway.)
Happily the Hot Tamales Fire did not have a watermelon taste to it. They were wonderfully sizzling, with a good burn that actually hit my throat a little hard a few times. If I have a choice in the future between the two, I'll definitely go for the Fire ones.
I think I could tell the difference between the two if placed side by side. The Fire ones are a little more clear, a little darker red. The originals are a good red color but perhaps more opaque. After eating about half of each bag, I mixed the two. Now I'll just take what I get.
I've always found spicy candies to be very good driving candy. When I'm going long distances I like a candy with feedback, something that keeps my glands salivating (so I need less water) and keeps me awake. I usually opt for hard candies as they're easy to travel with, but when I think of it, I usually grab some Hot Tamales.
As a side note, I checked out the Hot Tamales website, and it's pretty cool. I mean hot. Whatever. ... I was expecting something tired and circa 1998 like you get at the Annabelle's website, instead it's really nicely designed flash site (loads quickly anyway, not terribly informative). I also saw on the Just Born site that Mike and Ikes come in a few different flavor combos since I last tried some, so I'll see if someone carries those.
While cinammon isn't eligible for the Scoville Hotness Scale (which measures capsaicin, not Cinnamaldehyde), I'd rate regular Hot Tamales as the equivalent of a Poblano Chili Pepper - a good bit of spice, but little burn. I'd give the Hot Tamales Fire a rating on par with Seranno Pepper, which means that you get a good burn going in your throat and if it catches you wrong, you might tear up.

First all about 10 privately and partisan owned newspapers are going to strike for one day to object both the constitutional declaration and the draft constitution proposed. These newspapers are going on strike tomorrow "Tuesday". These newspapers are Al Masry Al Youm , Al Shorouk, Al Watan, Al Sabah, Al Fajr, Al Wafd, Al Osboo, Tahrir, Al Dostour , Al Ahaly , Al Ahrar
|A photo for today´s issues
Of course the Islamists wish that these channels and newspapers are closed forever because they are following Mubarak's regime , spreading allegedly lies and want to fight Islam to the end of that talk …. It is enough to know that the spokesperson of Al Nour Party expressed his wish to Al Masryon newspaper that he wished to see them forever closed.
With my due respect to the current supporters of MB and Salafists , these respectable journalists and reporters working in these newspapers are angry from the disrespect of press and freedom of expression in the new constitution. The 1971 constitution article saying that press is the fourth and the popular authority in the state has been removed because "there is no such thing called popular authority , it was something Sadat put to fool the people with" according to the head of the constituent assembly Judge Hossam El Gheriany.
All the recommendations and the suggestions by the Journalists syndicate in Cairo to the constituent assembly have been refused already !!
Today several newspapers already have published the same front page with the same message "No For dictatorship"
Second tomorrow we will have both protest in Tahrir and mess rallies heading to the Presidential Palace , oh yes to Heliopolis Palace where Morsi staying there. The rallies will gather at Raba'a Al Adawya Mosque at 4PM as meeting point before heading to the palace at 6 PM. There will buses for the protesters want to join the rally at Al Gazira Club as well in New Cairo. Most of those who will rally to the presidential palace are independent youth by the way.
There will be a rally from Mostafa Mahmoud square and Shubra too heading to Tahrir square at the same time.
There will be also rallies in different governorates as well like in Alexandria, Ismailiya , Port Said , Sohag and Assuit.
Today barbed wires were set up at the Palace against the rally which is called "The last warning" , anyhow I am not concerned about the official security at the Palace as much as the unofficial security !! Hazmoon , the mad group of Hazem Abu Ismail are swearing that they beat the crap out of what they called "ElBaradei Militias" if they come closer to the palace

Neighborhood Partners to End Gun Violence, a chapter of Heeding God's Call, asked residents to put their "faith in their feet" by "standing on the side of love."
Heeding God's Call, a faith-based movement to end gun violence, gathered in Cliveden Park in East Mt. Airy on Sunday afternoon to mourn the death of Northwest Philadelphia victims of gun violence: Nafis Armstead, 23, Saleen Harding, 27, and Shahid Hawkins, 21.
About 75 people of various religious denominations from Germantown, Mt. Airy, Chestnut Hill, Manayunk, Roxborough, Ambler and Gwynedd attended the prayer vigil.
Bryan Miller, executive director of Heeding God's Call, said the group came "to witness" and to make "a call of action to the neighborhood" to stop the gun violence that plagues Philadelphia.
"We want folks from this neighborhood to know they're not alone … and we're doing what we can to reduce gun violence," said Miller, who lost his only brother to gun violence.
Miller said Heeding God's Call appealed to people of faith because it provides opportunities "to live their faith on their feet."
"More people of faith understand they have a religious responsibility to care for their neighbors," Miller said, "and saving their lives is as basic as you can get."
Rabbi Linda Hortzman, of Mishkan Shalom Synagogue in Manayunk, said the organization decided to "mark as many murders" as they could by their "physical witness."
Hortzman said Heeding God's Call is not going to let the violence and killing continue without saying, "Stop – this is enough."
"It's much too easy to accept it and let it go by and happen," she said. "So, hopefully, a presence, a witness, and an acknowledgement will call people's attention to it and make a difference."
"The violence has to stop," said Motiva Johnson-Harrell, whose 18-year-old son was murdered in a case of mistaken identity on Jan. 13, 2011.
She and her husband, Yancy Harrell, recalled how their son was sitting in the car at Washington Lane and Musgrave Street, waiting for his sister to come out of the house, when two boys walked up to the car and just opened fire.
"It has become so commonplace in the city to put up these makeshift memorials," Johnson-Harrell said, adding that "murder has become a way of life" for many young men in our community.
"We live in war zones," said Johnson-Harrell, who moved in 2008 to get her sons away from the violence.
"We're willing to do whatever it takes to keep another mother from feeling this pain, to keep another mother's child from dying," she said.
After a prayer service, the group marched in silence from Cliveden Park to the 200 block of East Sharpnack Street, the site of a double shooting.
Around 8:34 p.m. on July 27, Nafis Armstead, 23, and Gerald "Geezy" Jones, 26, were shot multiple times, killing Armstead and seriously injuring Jones, who remains hospitalized.
"Where we stand is sacred ground because innocent blood has been shed here," said Dr. Dolores McCabe, a retired pastor at Millcreek Baptist Church, at the murder site.
Participants and neighbors said Christian and Muslim prayers to remember the loving husband and father of four young children.
Neighbors Cheryl Dallas, 55, and Nicole Silgh, 38, said Armstead was an approachable and respectful young man.
"He was always kind to everybody," Dallas said.
One of Armstead's good friends, Chris Baxter, 22, of East Mt. Airy, said Armstead was a happy outgoing young man who loved his family dearly.
"He put his kids before anything else," said Hanif Shabazz, another close friend of Armstead.
Participants expressed their thoughts about why they came to the vigil. Many expressed a need to stand in solidarity and bear witness to the violence running rampant in the city.
Julia Bradburd, 81, of Gwynedd, said she had a lot of friends who live in Mt. Airy and wanted to "stand on the side of love." She commented on the police escort.
"It's important to be visible," said Bradburd, who attends the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Restoration at Stenton Avenue and Gorgas Lane with her husband.
Linda Noonan, co-pastor of Chestnut Hill United Church, said she was inspired by the amount of people who came out to the prayer vigil.
"They were putting their faith on their feet and standing together with neighbors and families who are losing loved ones," Noonan said.
Kent Irwin, 63, of East Mt. Airy said people need to mobilize to hold legislatures responsible for gun laws that make sense. He said the NRA has many politicians in its "back pocket."
McCabe asked attendees to act and remember the words of Dr. King, "Let us begin, let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter but beautiful struggle for a new world."

Investors seemed to be optimistic about the retail sector following better-than-expected April same-store sales earlier this month.
But that all changed Tuesday with the release of quarterly earnings from a slew of companies, that showed there is still a lot of uncertainty heading into the crucial second half, crushing sentiment and sending shares sharply lower.
Retailers from T.J. Maxx parent TJX Cos. /quotes/zigman/243683/delayed /quotes/nls/tjx TJX to No. 1 office-supplier Staples Inc. /quotes/zigman/78299/delayed /quotes/nls/spls SPLS missed expectations as harsh weather led to store closings and hurt spring merchandise demand, while a stronger dollar hurt overseas sales.
The 61 retailers that have reported for the quarter just ended have missed estimates by an average of 2.6%, well below the long-term average of a 3% beat, according to Retail Metrics President Ken Perkins. First-quarter average profit is estimated to be down 2.3%, versus the 7.7% quarterly average profit growth of the past 15 years, he said.
"{The) stark contrast (between April same-store sales and the quarterly numbers) suggests pent-up demand was not enough to overcome a terrible start to the quarter," Perkins said.
At the same time, downward revisions to second-quarter or full-year guidance from Dick's (Sporting Goods), TJX, and Staples point to trouble with the lower end consumer who does not have a large discretionary budget, he said.
" The crux of the problem for retailers is the majority of Americans are not making enough money to grow their expenditures on discretionary purchases and are either keeping them flat or cutting back," said Perkins.
Here are the key highlights from the reports:
Staples shares fell 12% after the company's report showed it's grappling with competition from online retailers and a changing workplace environment that has led to a slump in demand for everything from computers to copy paper. Like its smaller rival Office Depot Inc. /quotes/zigman/236952/delayed /quotes/nls/odp ODP , Staples has shut stores and is diversifying into small business supplies including stethoscopes for the doctors' office. The company also is testing 3-D printing services.
Shares of TJX , long a retail industry outperformer, dropped 5.6%. TJX's first-quarter profit and sales missed and the company cut the top end of its full-year forecast. Its T.J. Maxx and Marshalls chains in the U.S. reported flat comparable sales, missing estimates of a 2.2% gain, according to Retail Metrics data. TJX blamed disappointing demand for apparel. However, Chief Executive Carol Meyrowitz said the company's inventory is lean and she expects to "capitalize on the plentiful buying opportunity" it's seeing in the market. The company has benefited from selling discounted name brand items from Michael Kors to Kate Spade.
"We remain favorable regarding TJX's long-term outlook and ability to grow its business internationally," said Stifel analyst Richard Jaffe. However, its smaller rival Ross Stores's first-quarter results may outperform TJX's because of its heavier concentration in California and other warm weather markets, he said.
Dick's Sporting Goods /quotes/zigman/310940/delayed /quotes/nls/dks DKS shares tumbled 15% after it missed its own expectations and cut its full-year profit outlook.
"Our difficulties this quarter were isolated to two categories: golf and hunting," said Chief Executive Edward Stack. "After a very challenging first quarter in golf last year, we expected some further headwinds and only modest improvement, but instead we saw a continued significant decline. In the case of hunting, we planned the business down based on last year's catalysts, but it was even weaker than expected." He said demand was strong in women's and youth athletic apparel, shoes and team sports categories.
Sterne Agee analyst Sam Poser said it was hard to fathom how the company's management managed to misread the tea leaves so far into the quarter, especially as its Golf Galaxy chain posted a 12% same-store sales drop in the fourth quarter.
Poser cut his rating on the stock to neutral from buy. He estimates that the golf and hunting business, about 30% of the company's sales in the quarter, saw a same-store sales drop of about 11% there. Golf Galaxy same-store sales fell 10.4%.
Urban Outfitters Inc. /quotes/zigman/55244/delayed /quotes/nls/urbn URBN shares fell 7.3%. Its namesake chain posted a bigger-than-expected 12% decline in first-quarter same-store sales, its third straight drop, offsetting gains at its Anthropologie and Free People chains.
"The Urban Outfitters brand is making slow progress with a new management team and fresh product assortment expected to flow through in the fall," said Macquarie analyst Liz Dunn. "The Urban brand is moving in the right direction towards reaching the 18-28 year old target, but we understand that this will not be a quick turnaround."
Home Depot Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/229488/delayed /quotes/nls/hd HD shares rose 1.9%, a rare bright spot. The No. 1 home-improvement retailer's first-quarter results also missed estimates, but it said it's sticking with its full-year sales outlook and raised its profit outlook.
The company said while it was hurt by a slow start to spring selling season, it saw solid results in non-weather impacted regions in the South and West. Chief Executive Frank Blake on a call described it as a "bathtub" effect, and said he expects weak sales in the first quarter will be "counterbalanced" by strong seasonal sales in the second quarter. He also dismissed concerns that the housing recovery has run out of steam following some softening indicators in the housing market in the last several months.
"As we parse the data from our own business, that is not what we see," Blake said. "The core categories in the store
remained strong, pro-forma sales continued to grow, our services business grew by high single digits in the quarter, and we had another quarter of big ticket growth."
While Blake is not expecting the housing market recovery this year to be as dramatic as last year's, he is expecting that "home price appreciation, affordability and an aging housing stock in need of investment will continue to drive growth."
Jewelry retailer Zale Corp.'s /quotes/zigman/131594/delayed /quotes/nls/zlc ZLC fiscal third-quarter's results topped expectations. Shares dropped about 1%, however, after the company defended its proposed sale to rival Signet amid criticism from dissident shareholder TIG. Zale said there's "risk of a material decline" in the company's share price if the transaction doesn't close.

Research | News
A technology in development at MIT allows for precise 3D tracking of people via radio signals, even through walls, enabling devices located elsewhere to be controlled simply with the movement of their bodies. WiTrack, as the research team calls it, can pinpoint a person's location and activities within four to eight inches, making it a promising tool for gamers who want to move outside the immediate boundaries of their game controllers. But it also has other applications, including detecting when a person falls in his or her home and when a user wants to control an appliance with a hand gesture.
WiTrack works by tracking specialized radio signals that reflect off a person's body to determine location and movement. In its prototype form, the system uses four antennas, one for transmitting signals and three for receiving. The setup then creates a geometric model of the user's location by transmitting signals and determining how long it takes for the reflections to transmit back to the receivers in order to estimate the distance between the antennas and the user. Best, of all, the user doesn't have to carry any type of device for the tracking to work.
The findings are described in "3D Tracking via Body Radio Reflections," a paper that will be presented during the Usenix Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation in Seattle in April 2014. The work was completed at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL).
"Today, if you are playing a game with the Xbox Kinect or Nintendo Wii, you have to stand right in front of your gaming console, which limits the types of games you can play," said Dina Katabi, a professor of computer science and engineering and co-director of the MIT Center for Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing. "Imagine playing an interactive video game that transforms your entire home into a virtual world. The game console tracks you as you run down real hallways away from video game enemies, or as you hide from other players behind couches and walls. This is what WiTrack can bring to video gaming."
Earlier this year, Katabi and graduate student Fadel Adib unveiled WiVi, a system that can detect humans through walls and detect their motion using Wi-Fi signals. But WiTrack has significantly higher accuracy and can track both two-dimensional and three-dimensional movement using wireless signals whose power is 100 times smaller than Wi-Fi.
Besides the gaming application, the researchers have tested fall detection, which can, as an example, assist elderly people. Typically, the solution is to wear a sensor, which is frequently forgotten, or to set up cameras, which don't leave much room for privacy. WiTrack detects falls by looking at the change in elevation and the speed with which the fall happens to determine whether it was intentional or an emergency. In a population of 11 users and 133 experiments, WiTrack distinguished a fall from standing, walking, sitting on a chair, and sitting on the floor with an accuracy of nearly 97 percent.
WiTrack could also be used to control appliances, such as turning a lamp on or off, by pointing at them, the paper explained. "We consider a gesture in which the user lifts her arm, points at an appliance, and drops her arm. By comparing the position of the arm over time, WiTrack can identify the pointing direction."
Now the research team is working on enhancements to WiTrack that will enable it to track the motions of more than one person at a time.

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita keeps an Iraqi election ballot in his office.
Rokita, a Wabash College alumnus, was the featured speaker Thursday at the Crawfordsville Kiwanis Club's regular meeting at the Crawfordsville District Public Library.
Rokita's topic was "Keeping your government in your hands through civic engagement." He presented an overview of Indiana's model election reforms, the programs in place to encourage Hoosiers to take part in elections and why it's important for them to take "an ownership role in governing their state."
Rokita told the group that his Iraqi ballot is from the country's second election, with 105 items on it - not candidates for office but rather, party choices. Voters were deciding which political parties should be given legitimacy. Rokita discussed how Iraqi women would stand in line all day to vote - serving as targets, literally, for terrorists.
"There has yet to be an election in Iraq that gets less than 70 percent voter turnout - even though it rains bullets and bombs over there. Here, when it rains, we lose 50 percent," he said.
Rokita was discussing the fact that, despite a number of election reforms over the years, voter turnout has not gone up. The reason, he said, is "a relative lack of civic engagement."
He discussed a number of ways to try to change that, including the Donate for Democracy program, which encourages poll workers to donate their county-issued stipends to the charity or organization of their choice. The contribution may be claimed as a tax deduction.
Rokita also discussed a program that allows teens to serve as poll workers on Election Day.
"I can't imagine a better civic engagement than that. How can they possibly work the polls all day and then not come back to vote at a later date, when the time comes?" he said.
Rokita's presentation was well received by many of those in attendance, including retired Wabash College professor Joe O'Rourke - who was Rokita's speech professor during his undergraduate years at Wabash.
"He handles himself extraordinarily well, particularly during that question-and-answer session where he comes back and gives us specifics. That in itself is rather unusual," he said.
O'Rourke joked that he was giving his former student a grade of B for his speech Thursday - but then Rokita said shortly afterwards that O'Rourke had agreed to raise it to an A.
Kiwanis Club President David Johnson said Rokita's message about civic engagement was clearly an important one.
"We need to be doing more than just voting. We also need to be taking steps to help ensure that the voting process takes place. That's the 'take home' message that I got out of it," he said.

11 Scents That Will Make You Love Sandalwood
Think of sandalwood as a gateway note—it's an easy place to start if you've been loyal to scents like floral and vanilla, but are looking for something slightly richer and more sophisticated. Its smooth warm notes feel particularly right mid-winter, so we suggest taking the plunge now. From spicy to sweet, you'll find a wide spectrum above.
Let's start things off with a fragrance that the perfumer himself describes as "sandalwood written in capital letters": Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule Eau de Parfum ($150)
Notes: Sandalwood, fresh rose, bitter cacao
What to Expect: A warm, woody opening note tempered with light floral notes and a snap of cacao at the end to keep things sharp.
As the name suggests, Byredo Parfums Blanche Eau de Parfum ($220) was built around perfumer Ben Gorham's perception of the color white.
Notes: Blonde woods, sandalwood, musk, white rose, pink pepper, violet, neroli, peony
What to Expect: The lighter side of sandalwood—a great option for everyday wear.
Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum ($85), a classic fragrance created by Jacques Polge, was inspired by Coco Chanel's home.
Notes: Coriander, pomegranate blossom, mandarin orange, Bulgarian rose, mimose, cloves, amber, sandalwood, Tonka bean, vanilla
What to Expect: A sensual but not overpowering scent that's great for date night.
Dior's classic fragrance, Dior Addict Eau de Parfum ($82), blends fresh top notes with the warmth of bourbon, vanilla, and sandalwood.
Notes: Mandarin leaves, mulberry flowers, orange flower, bourbon vanilla, sandalwood
What to Expect: Reach for Addict if you love vanilla but want to try something a little more complex.
Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette ($120) is a tribute to sandalwood, inspired by Goa, India.
Notes: Rose, myrtle, Italian cypress, sandalwood, cedar, spices, amber, white musk, Brazilian rosewood
What to Expect: The masculine notes of this fragrance give it a 'borrowed from the boys' appeal.
Frederic Malle Dries Van Noten ($265) is the first in a series of "olfactory portraits of extraordinary individuals" by the niche French fragrance house.
Notes: Sandalwood, guaiac wood, Tonka bean, vanilla, saffron, jasmine, musk, bergamot, lemon, nutmeg, cloves
What to Expect: This comforting unisex scent was just released last year and is already a classic.
L'Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier Eau de Toilette ($145) is one of the sweetest on our list.
Notes: Fig leaves, almond milk, sandalwood
What to Expect: The fruity fig and dries down to warmer, woodsy notes—this scent feels just as right mid-summer.
DKNY Pure DKNY Scent ($65) is a clean sandalwood experience.
Notes: Dewdrop petal, lotus flower, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, freesia, orchid, white amber, creamy sandalwood
What to Expect: Our favorite wood serves as a backdrop for soaring vanilla, making it perfect for those interested in trying out the note within a bouquet of classics.
Maybe a sandalwood scent isn't for you. Instead, try adding a few drops of this C.O. Bigelow Sandalwood Essential Oil ($24) oil to hot water before steaming your face; it's both healing and moisturizing.

The city's motor vehicle inspection stations close permanently Friday, June 28, at 3 p.m.
The administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. confirmed the closings Thursday, June 27, as workers at the stations prepare for either layoffs or to transfer to other city departments.
The stations are closing because last year the Memphis City Council voted to end all funding of the inspection services and the stations effective at the end of the current fiscal year. The fiscal year ends June 30.
Meanwhile, there has been no resolution to talks among the city, Shelby County government and the state of Tennessee on who will continue to do the emissions testing required by the federal Environmental Protection Agency as one of several options for meeting air quality standards.
Council members voted to end the funding because they contend it isn't fair that Memphis vehicle owners are required to get the inspection and vehicle owners in the county outside the city are not.
The Friday closing is an early deadline for Memphis vehicle owners whose tags expire at the end of June.
But for those with July tags and beyond, Shelby County Clerk Wayne Mashburn will renew vehicle registrations without requiring the notice that the vehicle passed inspection.

The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage surged this week to 4.46 percent, the highest in two years.
The increase from a 3.93 percent average last week was the largest one-week jump in 26 years, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. And it shows the Federal Reserve's hints that it might slow its bond purchases this year are already affecting consumers.
In the short run, a spike in rates could prompt more people to buy homes, giving the housing recovery an added boost. That's because would-be buyers would want to lock in the rates before they rise further.
But if rates continue to climb, eventually some buyers might feel priced out. That could slow homes sales at a crucial time.
Interest rates have jumped after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on June 19 that the Fed could slow its bond purchases later this year if the economy strengthens. Since Bernanke's comments, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has risen to a two-year high. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the Treasury note.
Freddie Mac also said the average on the 15-year mortgage rose to 3.50 percent from 3.04 percent last week. That's the highest since August 2011.
Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. Still, the impact on buyers' wallets in just the past two months is striking.
A buyer who locked in a 3.35 percent rate in early May on a $200,000 mortgage will pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. Another buyer who gets a 4.46 percent rate this week on a mortgage of the same amount will pay $1,008 a month.
The difference: $127 more a month, or $45,720 over the lifetime of the loan. The figures don't include taxes, insurance or initial down payments.
– The Associated Press
U.S. consumers spent more in May as their income rose, encouraging signs after a slow start to the year. But spending was weaker in April, February and January than previously estimated.
The Commerce Department said Thursday that consumer spending rose 0.3 percent last month, nearly erasing a similar decline in April. Income rose 0.5 percent.
At the same time, economists said the downward revisions to spending for three of the first four months of the year signal weaker growth in the April-June quarter, which ends this week.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said he thinks growth has slowed in the second quarter at an annual rate of just 1.5 percent. That's down from his previous forecast of a 2 percent rate. Economists at Barclays have cut their forecast from an annual rate of 1.8 percent to a sluggish rate of 1.4 percent.
Dales also noted that the inflation gauge the Fed watches most closely has dropped to a record low of 1.1 percent, well below the Fed's 2 percent target. When inflation falls too low, the Fed normally keeps rates low to try to boost prices.
Economists are hopeful that growth will pick up in the second half of the year, and some recent data have been encouraging. Consumers, benefiting from low inflation, spent more at retail businesses in May, notably for cars, home improvements and sporting goods.
U.S. factories are fielding more orders. Higher home sales and prices are signaling a steady housing recovery. And employers added 175,000 jobs last month, in line with the average job growth over the past 12 months.
Steady job growth has lowered the unemployment rate to 7.6 percent, down from 10 percent in 2009. And this week the Conference Board said a better job market helped lift Americans' confidence in the economy rose to the highest level in 5 1/2 years.
Federal Reserve officials sought Thursday to calm investors by assuring them the Fed won't start trimming its bond purchases until the economy has strengthened. They said any pullback in the Fed's stimulus will hinge on the economy's performance, not a calendar date.
The Fed is buying $85 billion a month in bonds to try to keep long-term interest rates low to spur borrowing and spending. Chairman Ben Bernanke jolted investors last week when he said the Fed will likely slow its bond buying this year if the economy continues to improve.
William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said Thursday that if the economy proves weaker than the Fed forecasts, he expects the bond purchases to continue.
The Fed's timetable for its bond purchases depends on its outlook for the job market and the economy, Dudley stressed at a news conference in New York.
Jerome Powell, a member of the Fed's board in Washington, said investors appear to have incorrectly concluded that the Fed will taper its purchases soon.
A third Fed official, Dennis Lockhart, president of the Atlanta Fed bank, said Thursday that "the pace of purchases, the composition of purchases and the ultimate size of the Fed's balance sheet still depend on how economic conditions evolve."

Every time we run an alarmist headline on this blog, I get flooded with the same question: "Well, what should we do about it … jerk?"
So, our call of the day is here to help, and he goes beyond just "buy gold and raise cash".
But before you circle the wagons and take that defensive posture to gird against the looming unknown, you might consider how the shorts are taking a strong liking to this market again.
Bearish bets against the S&P /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX have risen to levels not seen since 2012, according to Bloomberg. On top of that, bearish wagers against the PowerShares QQQ tech ETF /quotes/zigman/105934/delayed /quotes/nls/qqq QQQ are well above the 12-month average.
And what happens when shorts start feeling randy about this market? They get gored. At least that's been the trend of late. Don't dismiss the potential for more short tragedies just because stocks may seem bloated and ripe for a meltdown.
There's been plenty of pain. The smallest 500 stocks in the Russell 3000 have dropped almost 15% since the beginning of March, according to Pension Partners. The smallest 1000 have shed 8%. No wonder shorts are licking their chops.
Bulls can take heart in the fact that this has been an absolutely merciless market for those betting against it. Plus, there's no real reason to believe that it should be different this time around, other than the fact that one side can't be right forever.
"The bull market is going to extend for a lot longer than anybody thinks," Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James, told the Wall Street Journal. He added that the rally could be derailed by "a policy mistake in D.C., or inflation ramping up [substantially], but I don't think any of those things are going to happen."
The quote of the day: "People try to really read the tea leaves, even though there's really not enough information to make conclusions. And then they'll get exuberant, and then depressed. I mean, as Warren Buffet said, dealing with the market is like dealing with a manic depressive." — Tesla's /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA Elon Musk to CNBC.
The economy: Time to regroup and take a break from last week's groundswell of data. The calendar starts to fill up again later this week when we get weekly unemployment claims, consumer sentiment and retail-sales results. Two Fed speakers are on tap for Monday, though: St. Louis Fed President James Bullard at 9:10 a.m. Eastern and Boston Fed Pres. Eric Rosengren at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
The buzz: Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL is about to release its latest product, and it's the more user-friendly version of its stock, post-split. Shares are up just a bit premarket, but they could catch some volatility in the coming hours. Or not.
"Splits kill good trading action in names like Apple," says Joe Donohue of the Upside Trader blog. "Two- and three-for-one splits are tough enough, but a fat seven? Splits and a fat dividend, we all knew the day would come."
The song and dance around Hillshire Farms /quotes/zigman/10406668/delayed /quotes/nls/hsh HSH appears to have come to an end. Tyson /quotes/zigman/244186/delayed /quotes/nls/tsn TSN will be walking away with the prize.
There's plenty more M&A news for a Monday. Idenix Pharmaceuticals /quotes/zigman/90571/delayed /quotes/nls/idix IDIX shares are going through the roof after a buyout deal from Merck /quotes/zigman/574389/delayed /quotes/nls/mrk MRK .
Analog Devices /quotes/zigman/9417396/delayed /quotes/nls/adi ADI is also buying Hittite Microwave /quotes/zigman/96747/delayed /quotes/nls/hitt HITT in a $2 billion deal. Hittite is blasting away.
The Icahn effect has given Family Dollar Stores /quotes/zigman/226252/delayed /quotes/nls/fdo FDO a big lift, after the billionaire investor said disclosed a 9.4% stake in the retailer late Friday. He also said the stock's undervalued and is going to push for changes. Dollar General /quotes/zigman/575788/delayed /quotes/nls/dg DG is reaping the benefit.
The chart of the day: You might want to consider selling all your European stocks before everybody sees this chart, or so suggests the Testosterone Pit blog's Wolf Richter in his red-flag post. "This has been Draghi's great success, aided and abetted by Wall Street: pumping up European stocks (and bonds, including Greek government bonds, and all manner of other crappy assets) while corporate earnings have been declining — for nearly three years!," he said.
The call of the day: As trailed earlier, here's what Eric Parnell of Gerring Capital says about the three ways to give your portfolio "bear repellent":
- Focus on yield and dividend growth. Yes, of course.
- Look at stocks with "life" and avoid those that exhibit zombie behavior. In other words, ones that stick blindly with one direction without much volatility should approached very cautiously.
- Buy "emergency exit" stocks — ones that have a history of minimizing damage during tough times, like McDonald's /quotes/zigman/233369/delayed /quotes/nls/mcd MCD , Chevron /quotes/zigman/289939/delayed /quotes/nls/cvx CVX and Procter & Gamble /quotes/zigman/238894/delayed /quotes/nls/pg PG .
"Applying some theoretical bear repellent, through methods such as those shown here among others, one can position themselves to participate in any potential further market upside while still managing against the risk of major stock-portfolio loss," Parnell wrote. More on what he means by zombie and emergency-exit stocks.

The Swedish folk-pop duo First Aid Kit has been a KCRW mainstay since "Hard Believer," the first single from the band's debut record Big Black & The Blue a few years ago. Fast-forward two full-length albums later, and the Söderberg sisters have reenlisted the help of producer Mike Mogis for their now-signature two-part harmonies and carefully crafted Nashville pop.
Just before the release of Stay Gold, First Aid Kit joined us in the studio and performed the album's title track, which you can watch here.

Thirteen Manchester apartment communities with 388 units have been sold to a New York buyer for $46.6 million, or $120,000 per unit, brokers say.
Their original developer, Damato Enterprises Apartments, sold the properties to
Chester Homes LLC via a sealed bid process, said exclusive listing broker Chozick Realty of Hartford. Nearly all of the Damato apartments are occupied, said Chozick broker Steve Pappas.

Much like the "Area of Study" scholarships we once offered to high school and undergraduate students, career-specific scholarships are perfect for potential or current graduate students who are either already members of a particular field or are returning to school for an entirely different degree but have a clear idea of where they want their career paths to lead.
Now more than ever, adults are returning to school for advanced degrees that will make them more valuable and give them more security in their existing professions. This could mean getting an MBA or further narrowing the focus into a program like International Business or Operations Management. And believe us, there's a scholarship, grant or other financial assistance out there for just about any concentration. Here are a few examples:

1. When reviewing a defendant's request to suppress evidence, an appellate court reviews the factual underpinnings using a substantial competent evidence standard. However, the ultimate legal conclusion drawn from those facts is a question of law subject to de novo review. If the facts are undisputed, the question of whether evidence should have been suppressed is a question of law, and this court has unlimited review.
2. In order to stop a vehicle to investigate circumstances which provoke suspicion, an officer must be aware of specific articulable facts, together with rational inferences from those facts, that reasonably warrant suspicion that the vehicle contains individuals involved in criminal activity.
3. Once an investigative stop takes place, a police officer may develop probable cause to further detain the vehicle when he smells the odor of marijuana coming from the car. The odor creates needed particularized suspicion of criminal activity. Moreover, the smell of marijuana coming from the car is probable cause of a crime and that evidence of the crime would be found in the automobile.
4. Under the facts of this case, the arresting officer did have reasonable suspicion to stop the car in which the defendant was a passenger; once the car was stopped the officer detected the odor of marijuana coming from the car and its smell gave him probable cause to search the car.
Appeal from Harvey District Court; RICHARD B. WALKER, judge. Opinion filed September 22, 2006. Affirmed.
Jay Witt, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, for appellant.
Jay H. Sizemore, county attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., McANANY, J., and KNUDSON, S.J.
KNUDSON, J.: Carlos F. Delgado appeals from his convictions for possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana without tax stamps, and possession of drug paraphernalia following a bench trial on stipulated facts. The issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in denying Delgado's motion to suppress evidence obtained from the search of a vehicle in which he was a passenger.
We affirm.
On October 1, 2004, at approximately 3 a.m., Officer Brandon Huntley was parked in a police car in the median of I-135 near Newton, Kansas. He saw an approaching northbound car, and he thought its right front headlight was burned out. However, as the car got closer, Huntley noted an extremely dim light being emitted. As the car passed Huntley's location, he also believed the car windows were tinted too darkly. Huntley stopped the car after it exited I-135 and was on a Newton street.
The driver of the car was Rosario Solis, and Delgado was sitting in the front passenger seat. As Huntley was talking with Solis, he noticed an "overwhelming" odor of marijuana as well as an odor of alcohol coming from inside the vehicle. A search of the car led to the discovery of drugs and Delgado's arrest for the drug offenses.
Huntley was the only witness at the suppression hearing. After hearing his testimony, the district court concluded Huntley had probable cause to stop the car.
When reviewing a defendant's request to suppress evidence, an appellate court reviews the factual underpinnings using a substantial competent evidence standard. However, the ultimate legal conclusion drawn from those facts is a question of law subject to de novo review. State v. Jones, 279 Kan. 71, 73, 106 P.3d 1 (2005). If the facts are undisputed, the question of whether evidence should have been suppressed is a question of law, and this court has unlimited review. State v. Ramirez, 278 Kan. 402, 404, 100 P.3d 94 (2004). Notwithstanding Huntley was the only witness, he was cross-examined vigorously, and defense counsel argued his testimony was not credible. Thus, the bifurcated standard of review is appropriate.
We note in the district court's decision and the parties' appellate briefs, the terms "probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion" are not carefully distinguished. It is important to note the correct legal standard is whether Huntley had a reasonable suspicion under K.S.A. 22-2402 to make an investigatory stop, not whether he had probable cause to stop the car. See State v. Field, 252 Kan. 657, Syl. ¶ 2, 847 P.2d 1280 (1993). In Field, the Supreme Court of Kansas also recognized "[p]ublic safety or assisting persons in distress, among other reasons, may constitute sufficient reasons to stop an automobile so long as the officer has specific and articulable facts upon which to base the officer's suspicion that such reasons exist." 252 Kan. 657, Syl. ¶ 4.
Delgado contends there was insufficient evidence that the dim headlight established probable cause that the Solis vehicle was operating in violation of K.S.A. 8-1705 or K.S.A. 8-1725. He contends a violation could not be proven and notes the police officer never attempted to measure the light distribution.
K.S.A. 8-1701 et seq. contain a number of different provisions relating to the lighting of motor vehicles. K.S.A. 8-1705 states that "[e]very motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least two (2) head lamps with at least one (1) on each side of the front of the motor vehicle, which head lamps shall comply with the requirements and limitations set forth in this article." (Emphasis added.) In addition, K.S.A. 8-1725 provides that
"[w]hen a motor vehicle is being operated on a highway or shoulder adjacent thereto during the times specified in K.S.A. 8-1703, . . . the driver shall use a distribution of light, or composite beam, directed high enough and of sufficient intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a safe distance in advance of the vehicle . . . ." (Emphasis added.)
Huntley testified that when he first observed the Solis vehicle approaching, it appeared to have only one operational headlight. It was not until the vehicle got within 200 feet that Huntley could see the second headlight was lit, albeit very dimly. As he followed the Solis vehicle, Huntley noted that with the fog lights, the left working headlight illuminated about 40 feet in front of the vehicle; on the right side, however, all he could see was the fog light illuminated the immediate roadway and nothing else.
Contrary to Delgado's assertion, it does not appear the district court held that the statute would be violated if both headlights on a vehicle were not operating equally. In fact, the judge conceded that the evidence at the suppression hearing would probably not be enough to prove an actual violation beyond a reasonable doubt. The court did find, however, that the evidence presented showed the lighting was inadequate enough to establish probable cause that the lighting was inadequate to illuminate to a distance where the vehicle could be driven safely–i.e., where persons and vehicles could be seen from a safe distance. Although Huntley never measured or tested the lights, he was immediately distracted from following up on the headlights because of the marijuana odor.
Delgado also relies on State v. Knight, 33 Kan. App. 2d 325, 104 P.3d 403 (2004). However, Knight involved an officer stopping a vehicle after its driver failed to use her turn signal when exiting a private drive onto a public street. The officer asserted the turn violated a municipal ordinance which prohibited turns from public roadways to private roads without a signal. This court held that there was no probable cause to believe the ordinance was violated because it did not regulate turns from private drives to public streets; the officer's mistake as to what the ordinance prohibit did not justify the stop. 33 Kan. App. 2d at 327.
Knight is not helpful in this case as the officer did not act based on a clearly incorrect interpretation of the statute. As noted above, the officer personally observed conditions that raised a serious question as to whether the vehicle was being operated in violation of K.S.A. 8-1725.
For these reasons, there is substantial competent evidence to support the district court's finding that the headlight was so inadequately operating that there was probable cause to believe K.S.A. 8-1725 was violated. As the correct standard of "reasonable suspicion" requires even a lesser quantum of evidence, we conclude the stop of Solis' vehicle was justified, and the district court properly concluded the district court did not err in upholding the stop.
Delgado also contends there was no probable cause to believe the Solis vehicle was operating in violation of statutes limiting window tinting and that this justification did not warrant a vehicle stop. Because the stop was justified due to the headlight issue, we deem this issue moot, and it does not need to be addressed on appeal.
Delgado next contends that the smell of marijuana, alone, does not permit the warrantless search of an automobile. Delgado contends dicta from State v. Huff, 278 Kan. 214, 92 P.3d 604 (2004), controls and that State v. MacDonald, 253 Kan. 320, 856 P.2d 116 (1993), is distinguishable.
In its response, the State contends Delgado lacks standing, as a mere passenger of the vehicle, to object to the officer's search. However, the State did not challenge Delgado's standing while before the trial court. Generally, an issue not raised before the trial court will not be considered for the first time on appeal. State v. Rojas, 280 Kan. 931, 932, 127 P.3d 247 (2006).
If the issue had been raised in the district court, the court may well have held Delgado lacked standing.
"The general rule in Kansas is that an individual must have his or her own personal expectation of privacy in the area searched in order to have standing to challenge that search. . . . Specifically, a person has no standing to challenge the search of an automobile unless the person is the owner of the automobile or is in possession of the automobile. [Citations omitted.]" State v. Davis, 31 Kan. App. 2d 1078, 1082, 78 P.3d 474 (2003), rev. denied 277 Kan. 925 (2004).
However, because standing was never raised below, Delgado had no reason to present evidence on this issue. Therefore, it is possible he might have claimed an interest in the vehicle at the suppression hearing had the matter been raised. Likewise, Delgado has not filed a reply brief in this case, so he has not responded to this argument. Accordingly, we decline to address this argument on appeal and will move to the merits of Delgado's argument.
With respect to the validity of the search, Delgado's arguments are not persuasive. Kansas recognizes several exceptions to the Fourth Amendment search warrant requirement, including probable cause accompanied by exigent circumstances. State v. Mendez, 275 Kan. 412, 421, 66 P.3d 811 (2003). Kansas also recognizes the automobile exception. Under the automobile exception, an automobile search may be upheld as long as there is probable cause to believe there is evidence of a crime in the automobile. Under this exception, the mobility of the vehicle itself provides the exigent circumstances. State v. Davis, 31 Kan. App. 2d at 1083-84.
The Kansas Supreme Court previously held in MacDonald that a police officer "had probable cause to further detain the vehicle when he smelled the marijuana odor. . . . The odor created the needed particularized suspicion of criminal activity." 253 Kan. at 324. The Supreme Court also noted that a majority of courts have found that marijuana odor detected by an experienced officer creates probable cause to support a warrantless search. 253 Kan. at 325. Moreover, the smell of marijuana coming from the car is probable cause of a crime and that evidence of the crime would be found in the automobile. 253 Kan. at 325.
Although the initial detention in MacDonald was part of an established check lane stop, this does not make the MacDonald case distinguishable. There is no doubt from the opinion that the probable cause finding was based solely on the smell of marijuana and did not turn on the driver's subsequent display of a box containing a green leafy vegetation.
Delgado argues the Kansas Supreme Court's decision in Huff casts some doubt on whether the smell of marijuana, alone, is sufficient to establish probable cause. However, a careful review of Huff establishes it is not controlling in this case. In Huff, police responded to the defendant's apartment on an anonymous complaint of loud music and the smell of marijuana. The responding officers arrived and contacted one of the residents. As the resident opened the door, the officers smell burnt marijuana. Although consent to search the apartment was refused, the officers searched the apartment without obtaining a warrant. The district court granted the defendants' motion to suppress, and the State appealed.
In its analysis, the Supreme Court concluded the officers' warrantless entry in the apartment was unlawful. 278 Kan. at 220. Citing the "'sanctity of privacy in an individual's home,'" the court noted that a warrantless search of a home could only be permitted if there was probable cause and exigent circumstances. 278 Kan. at 220 (quoting State v. Blair, 31 Kan. App. 2d 202, Syl. ¶2, 62 P.3d 661 [2002]). In evaluating the case, the court determined that exigent circumstances did not exist in that case. 278 Kan. at 220. The Supreme Court did indicate that probable cause was weak, at best. 278 Kan. at 221.
In rejecting the State's alternative claim of inevitable discovery, the court in Huff did discuss whether the smell of marijuana, alone, would establish probable cause. The court noted there was nothing in the record to determine whether the odor came from the resident or the apartment. In its analysis, the Supreme Court noted that because it was unsettled law whether the mere smell of marijuana would result in the issuance of a search warrant, the inevitable discovery doctrine could not be established. 278 Kan. at 221-22.
We believe the district court's decision that McDonald controls is supported by State v. Conn, 278 Kan. 387, 395, 99 P.3d 1108 (2004) (quoting State ex rel. Love v. One 1967 Chevrolet, 247 Kan. 469, 477, 799 P.2d 1043 [1990]), another automobile search case, in which the Supreme Court noted: "'[T]he expectation of privacy, with respect to one's automobile, is significantly less than the privacy expectation relating to one's home.'" We note Conn was decided in the same term as Huff with not the slightest suggestion Huff would have application to a search under the automobile exception.
We conclude McDonald is precedence this court is duty bound to apply. See State v. Singleton, 33 Kan. App. 2d 478, 488, 104 P.3d 424 (2005). The district court did not err in upholding the search of the car.
In summary, the arresting officer had a reasonable suspicion to stop the car, and the strong odor of marijuana constituted probable cause to conduct a search under the automobile exception. Accordingly, the district court's ruling will not be disturbed on appeal.
