Egypt's Ahram newspaper reported that secret negotiations between Cairo and the Muslim Brotherhood are underway to avoid an escalation in Egypt's current political crisis.
Ahram reported that communications between the Muslim Brotherhood and state apparatus started late on Thursday and continued into Friday morning with the aim of avoiding further escalation and bloodshed.
The newspaper revealed that negotiations are pressuring both sides to reach a deal in order to avoid further violence. The Brotherhood reportedly called on the Egyptian authorities to release some of the organizations' leading figures arrested following Mursi's ouster as a gesture of goodwill, while Cairo called on the Brotherhood to cease discourse inciting violence.
Ahram reported that a public reconciliation initiative will be launched on Friday if the day ends without bloodshed.
The Muslim Brotherhood's call for further protests came after US secretary of state John Kerry backed the military-led ouster of Egypt's first Islamist and democratically elected president, saying it had been backed by millions of Egyptians.
"The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descent into chaos," Kerry told Pakistan's Geo television.
"And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment so far," he added.
However the Muslim Brotherhood condemned Kerry's statement, calling on Washington to rethink its position towards what it has dubbed a "blood military coup."
"We totally reject these statements and we are very disappointed in them," senior Muslim Brotherhood leader and former Mursi-era minister, Mohamed Ali Bishr, said.
Speaking to Reuters, Bishr stressed: "The United States is a country that speaks of democracy and human rights and they say something like that. I hope they rethink their position and correct it."
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned Egypt's interim leadership against ending pro-Mursi sit-ins by force, saying that it could lead to a "bloodbath."
HRW deputy Middle East director, Nadim Houry, said: "To avoid another bloodbath, Egypt's civilian rulers need to ensure the on-going right of protesters to assemble peacefully, and seek alternatives to a forcible dispersal of the crowds."
"The police's persistent record of excessive use of force, leading to dozens of deaths this month, and the density of the sit-ins mean that hundreds of lives could be lost if the sit-in is forcibly dispersed," Houry added.
The UN also said that peaceful protests in Egypt "should be allowed to go on," according to state news agency MENA.
"Freedom of expression and freedom of assembly need to be guaranteed," Martin Nesirky, a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said.
Egypt's interim authorities have issued numerous warnings to Mursi's supporters to disperse from Cairo's streets and squares and return to their homes. The Egyptian authorities' repeated calls for an end to the Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Nahda Square protests in Cairo raises fears that the police will seek to forcibly shut them down.
Update: Egypt state TV reported on Friday that security forces will besiege the pro-Mursi Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Nahda Square sit-ins. State TV said the siege will begin in 48 hours.

BOE Chief Economist Assumes UK Inflation Will Fall Next Year
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Pill said he expects UK inflation to start falling next year, assuming natural gas prices stabilize and then start to drop.
"We are expecting to see headline inflation tail off in the second half of next year in fact quite rapidly on account of those base effects," Pill said at a web event on Wednesday. "There's a lot of uncertainty around the outlook for gas price developments."
He reiterated that the central bank has "more to do" on raising interest rates to control inflation, but that borrowing costs probably won't rise as much as financial markets have priced in.
The remarks add detail to what Pill and BOE officials have been saying since they lifted their key rate to 3% earlier this month. Investors expect another half-point increase in December and more in 2023.
Pill said the BOE is concerned about tightness in the labor market, which risks fanning inflationary pressures.
"We are acting to sort of preempt the danger that inflation in a persistent way departs from target," Pill said.
He said policy makers are watching for inflationary pressures in the jobs market.
"Very low levels of unemployment and the association with the mid-1970s is not entirely reassuring from an inflection point of view," Pill said. "People in the 50 to 65 age group, relative to pre-Covid levels, are having a higher level of inactivity not being in a job and not looking for work."

Burgess COMMENTARY |
Global Warming Americans Will Pay Billions More For Climate Change, and That's the Best Case A grim U.S. government assessment of global warming's economic impacts gives a whole new meaning to Black Friday. The Trump administration just published a major report documenting the advance of climate change, weeks earlier than expected and on a day many Americans are occupied with family and holiday shopping. The news is predictably bad, but this time the tally comes with a pricetag—one significantly larger than you'll find at the mall. The report catalogs the observed damage and accelerating financial losses projected from a climate now unmoored from a 12,000-year period of relative stability. The result is that much of what humans have built, and many of the things they are building now, are unsuited to the world as it exists. And as time goes on, the added cost of living in that world could total hundreds of billions of dollars—annually. "The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid," the authors write. President Donald Trump has rejected without evidence the global scientific consensus that humans are doing grave damage to the planet. The Republican has sought to roll back Obama-era initiatives to slow greenhouse gas pollution in favor of fossil fuel interests. In recent years, thousands of Americans have died during, or as a consequence of, extreme weather tied to climate change—from powerful hurricanes fueled by extremely warm seas to calamitous conflagrations stemming from drought. Senator Sheldon WhitehousePhotographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg "The Trump administration can't bury the effects of climate change in a Black Friday news dump—effects their own federal government scientists have uncovered," said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat from Rhode Island, in a statement. "This report shows how climate change will affect every single one of our communities. The president says outrageous things like climate change is a hoax engineered by the Chinese and raking forests will prevent catastrophic wild fires, but serious consequences like collapsing coastal housing prices and trillions of dollars in stranded fossil fuel assets await us if we don't act." Part of the fourth U.S. National Climate Assessment since 2000 (the last one was in 2014), the report departs from predecessors in that it focuses on money, and how much of it America stands to lose to climate change. The costs assessed range from household expenses to the availability and pricing of food, energy and other goods people use in modern society. And it's not just the effects at home. "The impacts of climate change, variability, and extreme events outside the United States are affecting and are virtually certain to increasingly affect U.S. trade and economy, including import and export prices and businesses with overseas operations and supply chains," the authors write. "Now it's seen much more as a societal or economic issue than a narrow environmental one." A chapter on how to avoid worst-case scenarios, called mitigation, looks at estimates of economic losses across the economy by sector, pinned to the end of the century. They suggest that policy, technological and behavioral changes that lead to significantly lower emissions can cut potential financial damage across many sectors roughly by half. Nevertheless, such a best case-scenario will still leave Americans in a country where they are paying tens of billions of dollar more annually to address the fallout of accelerating climate change. A scenario with dramatically less pollution could slash projected losses in 2090 by 48 percent ($75 billion) a year in labor costs, 58 percent ($80 billion) in heat-related deaths and 22 percent ($25 billion) in coastal real estate, according to the report. (The NCA, which announces no specific policy or budget decisions, is a product of 13 federal agencies. It's the second volume of this iteration of the NCA; the first, about physical changes to the climate, was published a year ago.) When the first NCA came out in 2000, researchers were still thinking through how different parts of the U.S. might be vulnerable to natural and human-driven changes. Almost two decades later, the assessment incorporates a grim accounting of actual damages, which in turn allows firmer projections of what's coming. "A lot has happened in 20 years," said John Furlow, a contributing author and deputy director of Columbia University's International Research Institute for Climate and Society. "Now it's seen much more as a societal or economic issue than a narrow environmental one." Climate change's impacts, the report states, are presenting painful financial choices for every region of the country: In Pennsylvania, aging bridges may not fare well against more extreme storms, and water and wastewater systems need almost $30 billion in investment. In general, about 90 percent of the northeast is built on infrastructure poorly suited to adjust to rising seas. "Projected future costs are estimated to continue along a steep upward trend relative to what is being experienced today," the report states. More than 60 percent of big southeastern cities see heat-wave trends above the national average, and three of them, Birmingham, Ala., New Orleans and Raleigh, N.C., are exceeding the rest of the country across all major heat-wave measures. Anchored by California's clean-tech economy, the Southwest is seeing much of the nation's new energy investment. Legacy power technologies, such as water-cooled power plants, will continue to work for decades, however, and will be less effective as temperatures make cooling sources too hot. Hot water could reduce efficiency of these power plants by 15 percent by 2050. In the Midwest, a major producer of corn and soybeans, increased temperatures, rainfall and humidity have eroded soil and allowed harmful pests and pathogens to thrive, according to the report. Rising growing-season temperatures in the region are projected to be the largest single factor contributing to declines of U.S. agriculture production. A new chapter of the NCA addressing U.S. interests abroad emerged from the previous report's work on agriculture. The sector directly contributed $136.7 billion and 2.6 million jobs to the U.S. economy in 2015. It's also a significant source of pollution—about 9 percent of the U.S. total in 2016—and vulnerable to its impacts both at home and from abroad. "The U.S. food system is a globalized food system, and we import a lot," said Diana Liverman, a Regents' professor at the University of Arizona. Since the global nature of food-system risk drew interest during the 2014 report discussions, researchers conducted deeper analysis "on things like the vulnerability of U.S. supply chains." Flooded homes in August 2017 following Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas.Photographer: Win McNamee/Getty Images North America Strange phenomena are playing havoc with the U.S. food supply, including "the loss of synchrony of seasonal phenomena," the report states, including an emerging disconnect between crops and pollinators. While scientists are developing climate change resistant crops, the progress has been "modest," according to the NCA. It calls for more public investment in these projects and notes that—against the claims of some environmental groups— "genetically engineered crops have shown economic benefits for producers, with no substantial evidence of animal or human health or environmental impacts." The NCA differs in important ways from similarly weighty, periodic reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The most recent of these studies explored the difference between a world that warms 1.5 degrees Celsius and 2 degrees, the long-time international goal (slower sea-level rise, more Arctic sea ice, some coral left). The NCA authors express concern about growing threats to global trade, supply chains and the price of goods. Other international issues addressed beyond trade include national security, humanitarian aid and what the report calls "transboundary resources," such as fish, water and minerals managed jointly by neighboring countries. Adaptation efforts are occurring across the country, but often are too incremental given the challenge faced. Modern flood maps and insurance rates that reflect risk, for example, help make decisions to live in places with lower risk. "In many cases, however, addressing the full range of future climate change requires substantial changes in organizational practices and procedures, in public- and private-sector institutions, in individual and societal expectations and norms, in capital investment planning and in laws," the reports states. "Few studies exist that quantify the impact of climate change on U.S. corporations and the effectiveness of adaptation actions to reduce those impacts," they write. The goal of adaptation, they emphasize, is not to prepare lives and infrastructure for a new, static normal, but a continuous, forward-looking process. — With assistance by Joe Ryan, Deena Shanker, Brian K Sullivan, Will Wade, and Jennifer A Dlouhy |

Silver City Brewery | Tropic Chronic IPA
Dank nugs? Or dank mugs? When a brewery's sensory process for a new beer involves smelling & analyzing different strains of cannabis, you know you're in for a dank time. Silver City Brewery has merged aromatic compounds from several different strains of marijuana in order to develop Tropic Chronic, a variation of one of its flagship IPAs.
"Tropic Chronic is a limited, experimental variant of our beloved Tropic Haze IPA, it exudes extremely dank aroma and flavor components resulting from the use of terpenes," explained Daniel Frantz, Marketing Manager at Silver City.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, though people commonly associate them with MJ, as MJ contains high concentrations of terpenes. These aromatic compounds create the characteristic scent of many plants, such as pine & lavender, as well as fresh orange peel.
Frantz added:
"Our brew team arduously analyzed several specimens, carefully selecting a strain that emanates aromatic properties deemed compatible with Tropic Haze IPA. These specimens were then sent to a lab, so that the types of terpenes could be identified, allowing us to synthesize the desired aromatic qualities through terpenes derived from natural, non-MJ flora."
Silver City then used info collected from the lab results to select the hop combination of Strata, Mosaic, Citra, Idaho 7. Although Tropic Chronic contains no cannabis, a fresh draft pour or open can of this IPA will fill the room with an overwhelming scent. It has the appearance of a hazy but it drinks like a west coast, due to the bold hop aroma and heavy pine taste.
This quaffable IPA checks in at 6.4% (ABV, not THC) and pairs well with BBQ, tacos, a tightly-rolled J, or any fatty, savory dish you may consume with a case of the munchies.

No me extraña nada. La blogosfera norteamericana lo está investigando.
Dymphna de Gates of Vienna nos cuenta algunas cosas más (Would You Buy a Car From This Man?):
It turns out that the Auto Task Force appointed by Obama (I don't know who actually chose the individuals in this «Task Force») is made up of individuals from the field of finance, not the car industry:
«Who is this auto task force and who do they represent? They certainly don't represent workers in America. They don't represent investors, they don't represent dealerships they represent various Wall Street interests,» said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
The combined total of auto industry experience the 24-member task force brings to the bailout negotiations equals zero, and some don't drive at all, note critics.
«Of course we know that nobody on the task force has any experience in the auto business, and we heard at the hearing many of them don't even own cars. And they're dictating the auto industry for our future? What's wrong with this picture?» asked Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.
Thirty-six members of Congress from both sides of the aisle told the White House last week they are troubled by the work of the Auto Task Force. The lawmakers' concerns range from exploiting auto workers to laying off dealership employees.
«Decisions being made by the Auto Task Force and in the bankruptcy proceedings in New York are more than troubling,» the group, which includes Kucinich and Gohmert, wrote in a letter to Obama.
The lawmakers — wary of shuttered car dealerships, job losses and the big unknown of a GM bankruptcy — implored the Obama administration to slow down the restructuring process.
«Basically the task force is moving too quickly and there's kind of a double standard,» a senior congressional aide told FOXNews.com. «We'll do anything to bail out the banks, but we're saying to the automobile industry you can fail. … The people who are on (the task force) are financial guys. These aren't car guys.»

How to Hang a Cabinet on the Wall
A closer look at the cleats and hangers you can use to hold cabinets and shelves on the wall.It's common to build a wall cabinet or wall shelf and not give a thought about how to hang it on the wall until it's finished. But planning ahead can give you faster, easier, sturdier, and better-looking ways to hang it up. There are lots of options, ranging from shopmade to store-bought, but in this article I am concerned only with the ones that are invisible (or nearly so) and, just as important, leave the piece flush against the wall.
The easiest and strongest way to hang things is to build the hanging element, such as a cleat or hanging rail, into the piece.
There also are a number of methods that are implemented after construction, such as keyhole slots, hardware, or various manufactured hangers. often, these methods are fussier because they force you to work awkwardly on a finished piece.
Either way, whether built-in or add-on, it's important to consider the hanging method prior to cutting the first piece of wood because it can influence the thickness of parts, the construction, and the overall design. The following tips for hanging projects are the best I've picked up in my travels as a Fine Woodworking editor.

Koi fish are a popular type of freshwater fish that are often kept in outdoor ponds or water gardens. They are a member of the carp family and are native to East Asia.
Koi fish come in a variety of colors, including white, black, red, orange, yellow, and blue.
How many koi colors are there?
There are six recognized koi colors in the western world: black, blue, brown, gold, green, and orange. In Japan, there are an additional three colors, called "hitsuji", or "third colors". These are red, yellow, and purple.
What colors do koi fish come in?
There are many colors of koi fish, but the most common ones are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Some fish are even multicolored, including two different colors of fins and two different colors of scales.
Koi fish come in many different patterns, too, including stripes, spots, and blotches.
What are the rare colors for koi fish?
There are three rare colors for koi fish: red, black, and yellow. These colors are not found in the wild, but are created through selective breeding.
What color koi is most valuable?
The value of a particular color of koi varies depending on a variety of factors, including location, size, and type of koi. That being said, some experts believe that blue or green koi are the most valuable colors due to their rarity and the extent to which they are sought after by collectors.
Can koi be purple?
The answer to this question depends on the specific koi variety and coloration. Generally speaking, koi can be any color, as long as the color is consistent throughout the fish's body.
However, some varieties of koi, such as the red koi, may have some purple, or blue, coloring in their fins, scales, and sometimes their bodies. This is not always the case, however, and some koi that are typically purple may not have any blue or purple coloring at all.
Generally, the more purple or blue coloring a koi has, the more expensive it is.
Are there red koi?
There are definitely red koi in the United States, but they are not as common as other types of koi. Red koi are usually a reddish- or purplish-colored variety of koi, and they can grow up to 6 feet long.
They are considered a luxury fish and can cost up to $1,000 per fish.
Are there blue koi?
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that blue koi exist. Some people believe that blue koi are a mutation of regular koi, while others believe that blue koi are a separate species entirely.
There is no evidence to support either claim and therefore it is impossible to say for certain whether or not blue koi exist.
Are there pink koi fish?
There are pink koi fish, but they are not common. They are usually found in warmer climates, and they may be more difficult to find than other colors.
Are there green koi fish?
There are green koi fish in the wild, but they are not commonly kept as pets. Some breeders have started to produce them in a green color, but they are still considered a novelty fish.
There are some reports of people keeping green koi fish in their homes, but they are not considered common.
Can koi be all orange?
There can be many different colors of koi, but orange is not always the most common. Koi can be a variety of colors, including red, yellow, green, blue, and even purple.
The most common colors are red and green, but there are many different colors and patterns that can be seen in koi.
Are green koi rare?
It depends on a number of factors, including the location and popularity of koi ponds. However, experts generally believe that green koi are relatively rare and may not occur in more than a handful of ponds around the world.
Why is my black koi orange?
The black koi's color is actually a mixture of yellow and orange. This is due to a recessive gene that affects the fish's pigment cells.
When two black koi of the same sex breed, the offspring will have a 50/50 chance of being black or orange.
Koi fish come in a variety of colors including white, black, blue, red, yellow, and cream. Some koi even have patterns on their bodies.
The most popular color of koi is orange.

Writer Amber Rush expresses the opinion that if marijuana were legalized, "our whole moral system would be thrown out the window." In this country, we don't legislate morality. Some people think it is immoral to eat animal products. Others believe divorce is morally wrong. But few would seriously suggest we write new laws to ban these activities. Marijuana smoking has never been shown scientifically to damage brain function, and possible lung damage has been shown to be on a par with or less serious than the risks of smoking cigarettes. But no matter how unhealthy smoking marijuana is for an individual, we don't legislate good health habits, either. Otherwise, we would need prisons for tobacco smokers, chocolate lovers and people who stay out in the sun too long. The above suggestions may seem ludicrous. But unfortunately, they only mirror how absurd our actual marijuana policies really are. I encourage anyone interested in this issue to learn more about drug policy reform. You will find many convincing arguments for change, and strategies that have the potential to reduce not only drug-related crime but also drug use by minors. The system we have now is clearly not working. Alexandra Meyerson Bayside - --- MAP posted-by: Beth

Appropriate Changes for Re-zoning of Chase Bank
The University Park City Council is considering a request by Strode Development to increase the current zoning rights on the old Chase Bank building and surface parking lot and has requested the City sell the developer the alley to connect the two parcels. On August 16, Strode Development presented its development plan (see link): gateway.aspx and the City Council opened a public hearing on the requested zoning changes. At that meeting, we presented a petition signed by 680 people objecting to the zoning changes (more signatures than those that voted in the last 3 city council elections). The objections to the zoning changes fell into four general areas:
- Increased Height Request: 99.5' + 6.5' = 106 feet in total height (higher than any structure in the core of University Park);
- Increased Traffic and Congestion: 4800+ new cars a day by the developer's own estimates (see link to TIA): gateway.aspx
- Adverse Impact to our residential neighborhood: Size, scale, height and character of proposed above-ground garage, with ingress/egress on Haynie, and deviates from the scale and character of Snider Plaza.
- Bad Precedent: providing greater zoning rights on what is the highest-density tract in the core of University Park and in a community already struggling with safety, traffic and over development opens the door for future development projects to also expect zoning exceptions.
Our goal is to achieve the best possible project with a scope that is in line with the scale and character of our residential neighborhood, while asking the City Council to thoughtfully set development guidelines for any new developments that will be considered in the future.
Now it is time for residents to explain what we would like to see, and as a community, what zoning changes are appropriate:

In 1994 the vessel was converted in a comfortable sail training ship and has undergone several modernisations afterwards. Sinds november 2017 the ELEGANT is part of our shipping company.
Up to 30 trainees can check in on longer trips with overnight stay. If you want to book a daytrip the ship is even licensed for 55 guests . In the summer month we enter the Baltic sea, where we set sail from the beautiful German ports of Kappeln and Stralsund. In the low season we enter the Netherlands coast. Starting our trips from the Frisian cities Harlingen or Workum we have the possibility to sail at the Ijsselmeer, Wadden Sea and even the North Sea.

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Comcast announced today that it has installed free WiFi in its 1,000th Lift Zone in St. Paul, Minnesota at The Sanneh Foundation's Seton Center. The company plans to mark the occasion with a $50,000 grant to help support the organization as it rebuilds after being set back by an arsonist. The company also set a new goal to install 250 additional Lift Zones before the end of 2022. Lift Zones are part of Project UP, Comcast's comprehensive, ten year, $1 billion commitment to help build a future of unlimited possibilities.
Originally intended as a multi-year effort, earlier this year the company accelerated its roll-out plans in response to overwhelming public support. Lift Zones came along at a critical time, providing free WiFi access within select recreation, community, and senior centers, as well as public housing computer labs. Students used them for remote learning, even when schools were closed. Adults, too, benefitted because Lift Zones also offer access to hundreds of hours of free digital skills training to help people learn how to get online for remote working, job hunting, and finding telehealth services.
As announced December 6th, Comcast also plans to provide free WiFi at up to 100 veteran-serving locations nationwide. The Lift Zones effort complements Comcast's Internet Essentials program, which, since 2011, has connected a cumulative total of more than 10 million low-income people to the Internet at home.
"Whether at home or in a neighborhood community center like the Sanneh Foundation, Comcast is committed to helping connect the unconnected," said Broderick Johnson, executive vice president, public policy and executive vice president, digital equity, at Comcast Corporation. "Lift Zones, where we provide free WiFi access to neighborhoods in need, are an extension of our efforts to address digital equity for everyone who needs the Internet for homework, for jobs, or learning digital skills."
"I commend Comcast for the positive impact they've made in the Twin Cities community with Lift Zones and Internet Essentials," said Tony Sanneh, founder and CEO, The Sanneh Foundation. "The need for connectivity has never been greater and both programs have been extremely beneficial to our families through our partnership with Comcast."
The Sanneh Foundation's mission is to empower youth by supporting and promoting educational attainment and providing programs that strengthen physical health and social and emotional development. The organization draws hundreds of students to after-school and summer programming at its two facilities in St. Paul, the Conway Center and the Seton Center. In addition to sports and enrichment programs, each year The Sanneh Foundation serves 330,000 warm and healthy meals to youth and their families. Warm dinner is available 7-days a week, and lunches are available during out-of-school days and weekends.
The Conway Center was the very first Lift Zone Comcast installed. It opened in the Twin Cities in September 2020 and was being used by up to 150 students per day with supervised, online schooling and learning support. During the pandemic, Comcast also brought WiFi to the center's outdoor athletic dome so it could be used for an online learning facility as well.
In early 2021, the Conway Center was damaged by arson, causing the center to close for four weeks. The Sanneh Foundation had to quickly shift operations to their newest location at Seton Center to host scheduled free youth sports camps and food distribution for those in need. Comcast swiftly moved in to bring service to the organization's new location, making it fully operational. A Lift Zone was recently established at Seton Center for older youth focused on career readiness and workforce development, making it Comcast's 1,000th in the nation.
"So much of life and work happens online," said Kalyn Hove, Regional Senior Vice President, Comcast Twin Cities Region. "Together with our nonprofit partners, like The Sanneh Foundation, we have built safe spaces for students and families to connect to the Internet."
Project UP and Comcast's $1 Billion Commitment to Advance Digital Equity:
For over a decade, connecting more people to the Internet and the technology they need to participate and excel in an increasingly digital world has been a core focus for the company. Looking toward the next ten years, Comcast is building on that foundation and expanding its impact through Project UP, a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. Backed by a $1 billion commitment to reach 50 million people, Project UP encompasses the programs and community partnerships across Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Sky that connect people to the Internet, advance economic mobility and open doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and creators. For more information on Project UP and the latest news on efforts to address digital inequities visit https://corporate.comcast.com/impact/project-up.
About Internet Essentials
Internet Essentials is Comcast's signature digital equity initiative and the nation's largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. In 10 years, it has helped connect 10 million low-income Americans to broadband Internet at home, most for the very first time. Internet Essentials has a comprehensive design that addresses each of the three major barriers to broadband adoption. This includes: multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online, and in person; the option to purchase a heavily subsidized, low-cost Internet-ready computer; and low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month, plus tax. The program is structured as a partnership between Comcast and tens of thousands of school districts, libraries, elected officials, and nonprofit community partners. Comcast has never raised the price of the program.

The start of the World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina was delayed by half an hour on Tuesday after police clashed with fans at Maracana Stadium.
Locals and Argentinian fans started fighting during the playing of the national anthems prompting the Brazilian police to charge the visiting contingent, who responded by ripping up and throwing seats at the officers.
Fans near the trouble panicked and came onto the pitch to escape the fighting. At least one injured fan was taken from the stadium on a stretcher.
The Argentina team, led by captain Lionel Messi, went over to the terraces to try and calm the situation before leaving the pitch and returning to the dressing room.
The world champion Argentina team eventually returned once the police had corralled the travelling fans in a pen and the match between South America's fiercest footballing rivals started after a delay of about 30 minutes.
Five-time World Cup winners Brazil were hoping their fans at the sold-out stadium would help them get their campaign back on track after they lost successive qualifiers for the first time in their history.

Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base - Military BAH
The United States Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base is among the largest and most important of the Coast Guard's air stations and network of bases. It operates from the Clearwater International Airport.
Besides being responsible for the territorial waters and airspace around Florida, the air station also controls sectors within the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Basin. Furthermore, two subordinate air stations fall under its command - Andros Island and Great Inagua.
Together, these military facilities cooperate with the United States Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) by offering continuous operational support through their MH-60T Jayhawk and HH-60J helicopters.
These crucial air assets help to combat the menace of human and drug smuggling in the United States and International waters.
The air station has a combined crew of more than 650 Coast Guard and civilian personnel within the flight, surface, and support roles.
The installation maintains nine Jayhawk helicopters in MH-60T and HH-60J configuration and six HC-130H Hercules fixed-wing transport and logistics support aircraft.
In addition to playing essential roles in ICE and DEA operations, these aircraft are responsible for search and rescue and patrol operations within Search Zone Bravo, the region around the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.
Despite the air station's relatively young age compared to most US military facilities, Clearwater has had a distinguished and illustrious career.
From the early 1980s, the air station has gained numerous commendations and awards for its successful work in anti-smuggling and search and resume operations.
Some awards include the Coast Guard Unit Commendation, Humanitarian Service Medal, and two Coast Guard Meritorious Unit Awards.
The History of Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base
Before establishing the Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base, the US Coast guard had built a small base in St. Petersburg in western Florida.
This small facility opened its doors in 1934, and for several decades, it served as the home for various air and amphibious assets.
In 1976, the service adopted the HC Hercules fixed-wing aircraft, which required substantial maintenance facilities and larger runways.
This development necessitated the substantial expansion of the facility's operations, but the limited land next to the station meant no room to carry out any significant developments.
Therefore, the Coast Guard decided to expand the station into the nearby Clearwater area, and the present-day Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater was born.
In the 1980s, the Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base had a critical role in supporting US surface fleets during the Cuban Boat Lift.
Shortly afterward, the base was assigned to offer resources and support for Operation Fury, the invasion and retrieval operation during the attack on Grenada.
Due to the overwhelming success of the mission, Clearwater Coast Guard Air Station earned the newly-created Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal award.
In the same year, the Clearwater Air Station took part in Operation Wagon Wheel, a joint multinational operation designed to stem the tide of global drug trafficking. The air station continued to play critical roles in anti-drug trafficking missions and operations for the next two decades, the part that the base still fills to this day.
The ill-fated launch and subsequent destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger required an instant response from agencies across the United States southeastern coast. 1986 saw what is probably the best-known of Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater's roles. Rescue and recovery crews from Clearwater were among the first people at the disaster scene. They were so early that they received orders to stand down as flaming debris from the destroyed shuttle continued to fall.
In total, Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard crews flew 33 missions to the crash zone to search for remains of the shuttle's crew and the spacecraft's equipment. For its commendable role in the event's aftermath, the sir station received its second Coast Guard Unit Commendation and an Operational Device.
The following year, the Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base stepped into its role as the most extensive operational base within the air station network. At this time, the installation underwent massive expansions that added maintenance facilities, housing units, and additional runways.
More recently, the Coast Guard Air Station has played influential roles in crucial offensives like Operation Gulf Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Today, the base maintains its importance as a critical support facility in the search and rescue and anti-smuggling missions in the Atlantic, the Caribbean Seas, and the Gulf of Mexico.
The House Hunting Process for A Home Near Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base
Are you thinking of buying a home in the Tampa and St. Petersburg area next to the Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base? No matter if you are a real estate expert or a first-time buyer, follow these steps to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible:
Figure Out the Type Of Home You Can Afford
Start by determining what monthly mortgage payments you can afford and what you have available for the initial down payment.
Ensure that you check your credit score. However, remember that you can still buy your dream home even if you do not have the traditional 20% down payment required.
Find Financing and Obtain Pre-approval
Finding a lender you can trust and establishing the type of loan you qualify for is essential in determining the home you can afford. Look for recommendations, peruse the Better Business Bureau website, and talk to various lenders before you decide.
The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) can help finance your purchase through VA loans if you are a veteran or uniformed service member.
Determine the Price of Homes Near Air Station Clearwater
Once you have a preferred neighborhood, research the prices of homes in the area - not only the listing price - to determine whether you can afford a home in the location.
Find an Estate Agent
Before you choose a real estate agent, ensure that they are somebody you know you can trust. Look for reviews of their services to ensure they have sufficient local knowledge and expertise to work with a buyer of your experience.
Find Your Dream Home
Finally, we come to the fun part of house hunting in Clearwater. At this point, you get to tour homes, go to open houses, take notes, and hone in on the home you want.
Keep detailed notes for each home you visit, recording anything you liked or didn't. Taking photos of the properties helps to keep your memories of the spaces fresh.
All Your Need to Know About Financing Your Move with Military BAH
A powerful benefit offered by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to service people living off base in the neighborhood of the Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base is the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH).
The BAH is a military housing entitlement paid monthly to service members who cannot secure government housing at or near their stations. The amount of BAH you receive varies by military pay grade, status, time in service, and location, so it is important to confirm how much you can claim with the DoD.
You can use your BAH to cover part or all of your monthly mortgage payments for a new home near Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base. You can use the difference to cover your regular household expenses if you spend less than the BAH you are entitled to. On the other hand, if your mortgage payment is higher than your monthly BAH allowance, you have to pay the difference.
Regardless, this entitlement can help you buy a home for your family while you build personal wealth.
Essential Notes and Caveats Regarding Your Basic Allowance for Housing
The Department of Defense revises BAH rates annually. The Department looks at the prevailing rental, insurance, and utility costs to establish the BAH entitlement within particular metro areas. Although the rates vary yearly, the DoD has implemented rate protections that stop your BAH rate from decreasing while you are assigned to a particular station.
However, you must remember that your BAH rate depends on your assignment station's location rather than your home's location because they may be in different areas. Another thing to look out for with your BAH is that any changes in your dependent status or pay grade reductions could affect your rate.
If you choose to take out a VA home loan, mortgage lenders commonly examine your Leave and Earnings Statement to verify BAH.
Military BAH And VA Home Loans
After verifying your BAH allowance, you may use it as part of your adequate income to help you qualify for a VA home mortgage facility. Because your BAH could cover most or all of your monthly mortgage payments, it presents an incredible opportunity for home ownership.
Because your BAH allowance counts as part of your income and is tax-exempt, VA lenders can "gross up" your income when creating the pre-tax (gross) number to calculate your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). The DTI is a crucial metric that lenders use to decide the relationship between your monthly income and primary monthly debts.
Typically, VA loan lenders prefer your DTI ratio to be lower than 41%, and grossing up your non-taxable income with BAH offers you a massive benefit. Lenders can use the gross or pre-tax figure to qualify veterans receiving tax-exempt income from the DoD for an increased loan amount.
Let's say that you are a veteran receiving only tax-exempt income. If your monthly income is $2,000 and all your primary monthly obligations are $900, you have a 45 percent Debt-To-Income ratio (900/2,000). If the BAH grosses up your income by 25%, your new monthly income is $2,500. As a result, you lower the DTI to 36%, allowing you to qualify for a higher VA loan amount and purchase a better home that would be out of your reach.
What Is Living Off Base Near Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base Like?
Many factors influence your decision to live within or outside the United States Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base, and everybody has no one-size-fits-all choice. However, as you make your list of pros and cons, here are five reasons to choose to live off-base:
Save On Your Basic Allowance for Housing
When you choose to live within a military base, it usually means that you give up your entire monthly BAH entitlement to a private housing contractor. Although the amount typically covers most of your utility bills and some of your yard maintenance costs, sometimes it can feel like you are handing over a lot of money to live in a relatively small house.
There are also some things that the BAH allocation does not cover, like home internet and renter's insurance. Living within the base gates means you'll be expected to pay for those things out of pocket.
However, if you choose to live away from the base, you can save some of your BAH by choosing a home whose rent or mortgage payments are lower than what you receive as your housing allowance. While it may not always be easy to find such a home, it is good to know that you can control where your money goes and spend it on other costs besides your rent.
Freedom to Run a Home Business
If base officials refuse to give you the permission you need to run a home business from your on-base residence, no amount of small business insurance can save you. In most cases, military officials need anyone who plans to run a home business on base to submit a formal application, but receiving their blessing is not guaranteed.
If your home-based business contravenes any of the regulations set by the military's Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) office or if it does something that the exchange service could operate, you will be denied permission. The only way to guarantee that your spouse can operate a home business is to live away from the base.
To be sure, there are advantages to living on the base, like proximity to your workstation and, of course, the handy commissary. However, there are plenty of inconveniences when you live on the base. For instance, if you frequently receive visitors who are not military personnel with IDs, living on the base means you must get them passes for each visit.
Furthermore, while most military bases have at least one gate open 24 hours a day, you may find yourself living near an entrance that's closed early or isn't opened on holidays, which means that you have an extra-long drive for any trip off the base. Conversely, living off the base means you trade up for easier access to your home for you and visitors to your house.
Yard Use and Landscaping
In many cases, military bases maintain strict rules regarding how often you should mow the grass around your house, the items you can or cannot have within your yard, and much more. Although some off-base neighborhoods may keep similar rules, they are less common and will rarely come with the type of strict enforcement that is common on a military base.
For instance, military housing areas rarely allow you to have an above-ground pool, while most off-base neighborhoods won't be concerned if you install one. When you live off-base, you maintain control of what you want to do with your yard.
Avoid Pet Drama
If you own pets, you know how tough it can be to find a rental property that accepts cats or dogs, particularly if you have more than one animal. However, if you own any so-called "bully breed" dogs, life on a military base with your pet may be impossible. Most military bases have banned specific dog breeds, like Pitbulls, due to the safety hazard they pose if not well handled.
If you own a breed such as a Rottweiler or Chow, you could find your dog banned on certain bases but allowed on others. Looking for a home off the base will save you the drama of figuring out which base will allow your pet and which one will not.
Buy Your Dream Home Near Air Station Clearwater Coast Guard Base
Buying a home is likely your life's most significant personal investment, so you want to purchase property in a desirable location like Clearwater. A VA loan partially or fully paid for by your Basic Allowance for Housing can help you realize your dream.
Find out your applicable BAH entitlement, follow our tips for finding a home, and consult lenders who can run the numbers to help you determine the type of home you can afford.
With over 50 years of mortgage industry experience, we are here to help you achieve the American dream of owning a home. We strive to provide the best education before, during, and after you buy a home.
