US home prices up 9.3%, most in 7 years
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices rose 9.3 percent in February compared with a year ago, the most in nearly seven years. The gains were driven by a growing number of buyers who bid on a limited supply of homes.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index increased from an 8.1 percent year-over-year gain in January. And annual prices rose in February in all 20 cities for the second month in a row.
Phoenix led all cities with an annual gain of 23 percent in February. Prices jumped nearly 19 percent in San Francisco. In Las Vegas, home prices increased 17.6 percent and in Atlanta they rose 16.5 percent.

Eleven of the 20 cities reported price gains in February compared with January. Those monthly numbers are not seasonally adjusted and reflect the slower winter buying period. The index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average. The February figures are the latest available.
Steady hiring and near-record low mortgage rates are driving up demand, helping sustain the housing recovery that began last year. Buyer traffic was 25 percent higher in March than it was a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors.
At the same time, prices are surging because buyers have fewer homes to bid on. The number of homes available for sale has fallen nearly 17 percent in the past year to 1.93 million, the Realtors' group said last week. At the current sales pace, that supply would be exhausted in 4.7 months, below the 6 months that is typical in healthier markets.
Home prices nationwide are still about 30 percent below their peak reached at the height of the housing bubble in August 2006. They are only back to where they were in the fall of 2003.
And Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow, a real estate data provider, cautioned that the national figures are being skewed by sharp rebounds in cities hit hard during the housing bust, including Las Vegas and Phoenix. Investors are helping drive up prices in those cities.
"This report needs to start being taken with a grain of salt, Humphries said. "The appreciation rates we're currently seeing ... are not broadly reflective of what's happening in the national housing market right now.''
Steady home price gains can help drive the housing recovery. Higher home prices encourage more people to buy before prices rise further. They can also entice more homeowners to sell by making them more confident they'll get a good price. In addition, higher prices raise the equity people have in their homes, which makes selling more profitable.
But many homeowners still owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. That can make it difficult to sell.
Higher home values can also help the economy. They increase homeowners' wealth, which encourages more spending. Consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic growth.
Sales of previously occupied homes leveled off over the winter but may increase in the coming months. A measure of signed contracts to buy homes rose to a three-year high in March.
Homebuilders are also starting work on more new homes and apartments. That creates more construction jobs. Builders started work on more than 1 million homes at an annual rate in March. That's the first time the pace has topped that threshold in nearly 5 years.

The world is urbanizing fast. In less than a century more than 1 billion people have been urbanized. That translates into the fact that more than half of the world's population is already living in cities. Experts forecast that very soon Africa will become one of the most urbanized continents. However, almost 70% of world's urban population is living in the cities where governments are struggling to provide basic services like sanitation, schools, hospitals, and adequate clean water.
The reason is that, their governments do not have enough money. This may also be true also for the city where you live or work. Poor infrastructure affects your daily life. Local governments struggle with mobilizing finances so that they can improve your quality of life but many times they are not aware of the right mechanisms.
Imagine that your government wants to know how can they finance cities and they want you to advise – where will you begin with? Our finance experts are bringing their experience right at your Desk through this MOOC.
This MOOC has five modules and in five weeks you will learn:
• Financial decision making environment in urban systems
• Mechanisms for mobilizing local revenues
• Innovative mechanisms for financing infrastructure projects through partnerships, and
• Financial decision making under uncertainties and risks

When I went thrifting last month with Meg and Christine we spotted these pants. Meg tried them on, but they were a little big on her, so I tried them on. They zipped, so I bought them. For $9, how could I not?
However, for someone so enamored with leopard everything, I actually feel a little self-conscious wearing these pants. They might just be a little too over the top. Even though so many of my favorite bloggers have worn leopard pants and I adore them, these really felt challenging to wear.
After extensive research, (aka google image search + pinterest) I've realized that no one is wearing flared leopard print pants, they are all skinnies. So perhaps I should just skinnify them? What do you think?

For the second consecutive year since adopting a Sustainability Plan, Princeton University's on-campus greenhouse gas emissions have decreased.
Last year, emissions declined for the first time since the University's energy-efficient cogeneration plant was installed in 1996 by a modest amount at nearly 1 percent. Emissions are now down by 2.5 percent since 2008, despite the addition of more than 360,000 square feet of building space.
That finding, along with decreases in water consumption, paper purchases and landfill waste, and increases in opportunities for faculty and students to be in classes, conduct research and get involved in efforts concerning the environment, is part of the 2010 Report on Sustainability released Monday, Nov. 15.
In connection with the online publication of the second annual report, the University will showcase its latest green initiatives at an open house from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, in Chancellor Green. The event, which also will include community participants, will feature interactive displays and demonstrations.
The report describes progress toward goals since the University adopted its Sustainability Plan in February 2008, and it looks ahead to the short-term and long-term future. The first report was released in November 2009.
According to Executive Vice President Mark Burstein, three features set apart Princeton's Sustainability Plan: its commitment to decreasing carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 through direct local reductions with no purchase of market "offsets"; its comprehensiveness; and its integration with the University's commitments to teaching, research and civic engagement.
"Princeton's Sustainability Plan relies exclusively on local initiatives to reach its carbon dioxide mitigation goal," he said in the introduction to the report. "The University's existing infrastructure was already very efficient, so we knew that achieving this goal would be a challenge. Thanks to the implementation of new technology, we can describe real progress toward the goal, as quantified in this report, as well as plans for future progress.
"These efforts turn our campus into a sustainability laboratory that ties directly into our academic work in the environmental areas," he added. "Not only has the University's environmental impact significantly decreased over the past three years, but we are also educating tomorrow's leaders through direct campus activity as well as teaching and research."
An added benefit is that many of the sustainability efforts also have resulted in cost savings.
Michael McKay, vice president for facilities, said, "We have found the University's Sustainability Plan provides opportunities for both good environmental stewardship and strong financial management. Princeton has realized recurring savings from almost all of the initiatives implemented to date."
The Sustainability Plan has been a campuswide effort since the beginning of its development in 2007 -- the benchmark year used to assess progress. Working groups of the Princeton Sustainability Committee -- which is composed of faculty, staff and students -- proposed the plan and now benchmark sustainability performance across University operations, teaching, research and student activities. Their reports are incorporated into the online publication.
"This progress report reflects the collaborative spirit of the sustainability endeavor at Princeton," said Shana Weber, manager of the Office of Sustainability, which coordinates the process. "That enthusiasm to take on challenges is helping to drive innovation, not only in technology but also in the social and economic aspects of this transformative effort."
The report measures progress in three broad categories: greenhouse gas emissions reduction; resource conservation; and research, education and civic engagement.
Greenhouse gas emissions reduction
The University's goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels (95,000 metric tons) by 2020 -- 18,000 metric tons less than the current amount. Princeton is seeking to achieve reductions through conservation, application of energy-saving technologies, renewable energy generation and behavior change. The University is exploring the idea of installing a solar collector field on some of its lands in West Windsor. If this project proves viable, the field could supply up to 5 megawatts of renewable electrical energy to the campus, further contributing to the reduction in its carbon footprint.
The report states that Princeton is investing $45 million between 2009 and 2017 to reduce overall utility usage on campus by at least 25 percent, in part by improving the efficiency of the high-performance central cogeneration plant and the buildings it serves. These facilities account for approximately 85 percent of the University's emissions. The initiatives are being coordinated through an Energy Master Plan.
In 2009-10, the University spent $4.3 million on energy conservation projects, including recovering more heat from the exhaust at the cogeneration plant, replacing steam traps in the distribution system and improving lighting. These changes resulted in savings of 9,000 metric tons of CO2 and $1.5 million in avoided energy costs.
The goal is to achieve $8.5 million in annual savings and 65,000 metric tons of annual reductions in CO2 emissions. Reducing emissions by this magnitude will allow Princeton to approach its 2020 reduction goal while expanding square footage, according to the report. Under the Energy Master Plan, the University increased its electricity usage by only 3.2 percent during the last two years, despite the growth on campus.
One particularly innovative application this year was the installation of high-efficiency self-closing fume hoods in the new Frick Chemistry Laboratory. Research labs on the upper three floors of the building feature 200 of these fume hoods equipped with automatic sash closers that reduce both air supply and exhaust requirements. This was one of the first large academic installations in the country of the energy-saving devices.
When Princeton adopted the Sustainability Plan, 30 percent of the University's strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions were "to be discovered." Last year, an additional 9 percent (or more than 1,200 metric tons of CO2) was determined. A good part of this gap was filled with the installation of new network software by the Office of Information Technology that allows office computers to "sleep" when not in use, with no loss of backup functions. Through this program, the University has saved about 1,529,000 kilowatt-hours, or $134,534 annually.
Other emissions-reduction efforts include designing all construction and major renovation projects to be 30 to 50 percent more energy efficient than a comparable off-campus building; replacing vehicles in the campus fleet with electric or hybrid models (41 percent of vehicle purchased since 2007); and encouraging campus community members to join their 230 colleagues who participate in Transportation Demand Management incentive programs such as car pooling and riding mass transit.
Resource conservation
Efforts to conserve resources extend from installing water-saving devices and purchasing less paper to better regulating stormwater runoff and planting trees.
Some of the key achievements cited in the report are:
- a decrease in water usage in the residence halls by 24 percent (12 million gallons) and on the overall campus by 11 percent since 2007, due to the installation of low-flow fixtures and efficient clothes washing machines, among other water-saving measures.
- an increase in sustainable food purchases from 36 percent in 2007 to 61 percent in 2010, and in local food purchases (within 250 miles) from 27 percent in 2007 to 52 percent in 2010.
- a decrease in the purchase of paper by 34 tons and a reduction in the number of sheets of office paper printed by 18 percent between 2009 and 2010.
- a decrease in the overall campus landfill waste by 11.5 percent (368 tons) from 2007 to 2009.
- the planting of nearly six acres of a planned 10 acres of woodland reconstruction.
Another highlight comes from an academic study in which faculty and students monitor real-time performance data from Butler College, where more than half the buildings have green roofs. Eileen Zerba, a senior lecturer in ecology and evolutionary biology who is leading the High Meadows Foundation grant-funded project, provided data for the report that indicate the Butler College green roofs are demonstrating a more than 60 percent reduction in peak stormwater runoff, compared to conventional roofs. In addition, with better than anticipated thermal properties, the Butler green roofs are expected to reduce expenditures for heating and cooling, according to the data.
Zerba and her students also are featured in photos and a story linked from the report about their work sampling and analyzing water from the Washington Road stream, which flows into Lake Carnegie. The stream is being restored to sustainably handle stormwater runoff as well as the everyday flow.
"Our principle strategy is to gather baseline data before initiating major University innovations to protect campus water resources and then track the effectiveness of sustainable practices," Zerba explained in the story.
Research, education and civic engagement
The report outlines progress in the area of research, education and civic engagement through broader interdisciplinary participation in research and problem solving, artistic expression and communications relating to sustainability, better connections between faculty and graduate student research and undergraduate education on sustainability, and more student research opportunities in this field.
Some of the key achievements cited in the report are:
- a threefold increase in the number of students receiving environmental studies certificates since 2002.
- the funding of 11 often multiyear faculty research projects since 2008 with support from the High Meadows Foundation.
- the completion of internships by Princeton undergraduates from 12 majors interning in 22 countries around the globe, studying a variety of environmental- and sustainability-related topics.
- representation by more than 1,000 Princeton students in the 16 groups active in the Princeton Environmental Network.
- an increase to 25 student Ecology Representatives (Eco-Reps), compared to 14 in 2009 and six in 2008, working for the Office of Sustainability.
- the introduction of campus Green Tours.
- the launching of a pilot Sustainability Ambassador Program to train staff members as advocates for sustainability in their home offices.
- the training of 37 students and interns since 2006 through the Student Environmental Communication Network (SECN) in the research and technical skills needed to communicate through podcast and video media.
Jessica Hsu, a 2010 Princeton alumna, is quoted in the report about her experiences producing stories in the SECN and co-editing the "Guide to Living Green at Princeton."
"As a Green Guide intern, I researched small steps the Princeton community could take to be more sustainable and, furthermore, what the University at large was doing for sustainability in research and in practice," said Hsu, who is now a master's student in civil engineering-green design at Carnegie Mellon University. "I would strongly encourage current Princeton students to take advantage of the Office of Sustainability's resources and staff. The growing department is making great headway on campus. It provides funding and support for a variety of activities, all of which are very hands-on. Students are encouraged to show innovation, initiative and creativity and will find immediate rewards in the work they do."
As a member of core leadership groups, the report noted, Princeton has consulted and collaborated with peer institutions on developing and implementing successful sustainability strategies, especially through the Ivy Plus Sustainability Committee and the Northeast Campus Sustainability Consortium. Best practices from these collaborations are informing the development of the sustainability field.

Most of us think of Android as the perfect phone for tweakers and customizers: it's open source, it has a ton of different hardware options, and the OS lets you do a lot more out of the box. We think of the iPhone as a closed system, a horrible place for people that like to tweak their phones—I know I did when I chose Android—but that's wrong. The iPhone is actually the best phone out there for hackers, tweakers, and customizers. Here's why.
Those of you that read Lifehacker regularly know that I've been an Android fan for a long time, and I've written countless posts about picking your hardware, rooting your phone, downloading new ROMs, and otherwise tweaking the heck out of your phone. I even wrote a piece on the best Android features that the iPhone doesn't have. But, after switching over to the iPhone, I've discovered that tweaking and customizing my iPhone is easier, more fun, and in nearly every way just as powerful as tweaking an Android phone.
Jailbreaking Is Eons Easier than Rooting
There's no question Android can do more out of the box than the iPhone. Being able to automate your phone with something like Tasker is awesome. But, when you really want to get down to tweaking the nitty-gritty, the fact of the matter is that rooting is what opens up real possibilities. Unfortunately, rooting is about as big of a headache as breaking into a bank vault with a safety pin. You have over 100 different Android phones out there, each with its own rooting method, caveats, and risks that you have to research. It's so annoying that we had to turn our rooting guide into a guide for only the top 10 phones, in addition to tacking on an exhaustive glossary of all the crap you have to know before starting the process. Our jailbreak guide, on the other hand, is three steps long, which include "plug in your phone" and "click this button". It doesn't get much easier than that. And once you're jailbroken, you can do just about anything, including making your iPhone read your mind with Tasker-like automation. It's still not quite as powerful as a rooted Android phone, but it's pretty damn close, and with far less work.
Everyone's Working from the Same Pool, Which Means More Tweaks
The headache doesn't stop with rooting, either. Because Android has so many devices and so many different versions of itself floating around (the sad downside of open source), a lot of the tweaks you get are sadly specific to a certain device or ROM. Tweaks that work with Sense ROMs won't work with AOSP ROMs, and Gingerbread tweaks probably won't work with Ice Cream Sandwich-based ROMs. With each phone, you only have a small subset of developers working for you and your software. On the iPhone, every developer is making an app for everybody's phone, which means you have a ton of different tweaks to pick and choose from—and no need to find out whether it's compatible with your hardware, version of Android, or ROM.
When you have an iPhone, though everyone is using essentially the same device you are. Everyone's developing for the same phone, and the same version of the OS. Not only are Android users limited by the huge number of devices out there, they're also limited by whether they've even been updated to the latest version of Android or not. Ice Cream Sandwich was announced last October, and only 50% of you guys even have it—and half of that 50% had to root and flash a new ROM to get it. And it's not as if everyone can even get a custom ICS ROM yet—many of us (including me and my sad Thunderbolt) are stuck waiting for the official kernel, radio layer, or other nonsense to be officially released by our phone manufacturer. So much for the advantages of openness.
You Can Find Every App and Tweak in One Place
Lastly, we come to Cydia. Now, I'm the first guy to complain about how slow and annoying Cydia can be, but after coming from Android, I've realized that Cydia is the greatest thing to happen to us phone tweakers. Want to install an app, tweak, or customization to your iPhone? Chances are pretty darn good you'll find it among the thousands of apps and tweaks available in Cydia. Want to do the same on Android? Once you've narrowed down the tweaks that your device can actually use, you'll have to root through forums like XDA Developers or RootzWiki or countless others to find what you're looking for, and then sideload it onto your phone via Dropbox or USB. And don't even get me started on what happens when Megaupload or whatever hosting service they're using goes down—then it becomes even harder to find that tweak. Cydia takes two steps: search, tap to install. What kind of tweaks can you get? Some favorites of ours include:
Get quick access to just about anything from the Notification Center
Customize the look of your iPhone with custom icons, wallpapers, and themes
Tether your iPhone to your computer over Wi-Fi, and even hide that data from your carrier
Integrate Google Voice with the default Messages app, or just read your text messages on your computer without Google Voice
Make Sparrow your default email app, make anything your default browser, or get one-tap navigation from the built-in Maps app
Put scrollable notifications on your lock screen for easier reading
Where the iPhone Still Falls Short
The iPhone isn't the "perfect" tweaker phone, of course. There are still a lot of things I miss about Android. For example, you can get widgets on the iPhone, but it isn't quite the same, and you won't have the vast library that you do on Android. I'll always miss the ability to install custom keyboards like Swype and SwiftKey, or being able to create location-based automation like you can in Tasker. Furthermore, Android users can download new kernels, radios, and other deep-system tweaks that iPhone users aren't really privy to—though I'd also argue that I no longer feel the need to, because the iPhone isn't as laggy or battery-starved as my Android phone was (speed and battery life being the primary benefit of these deep-system tweaks). You also don't have full ROMs on the iPhone, but frankly, wouldn't you rather piece together all your favorite tweaks from Cydia than have another developer do it for you? Android ROMs can be great, but again, I feel like half the time I'm downloading them to fix a problem rather than add cool stuff.
In the end, it boils down to this: Tweaking Android is stressful, and provides only a bit more freedom than you get from a jailbroken iPhone. Tweaking the iPhone, on the other hand, is loads of fun. And after all, isn't that what it's all about?
Agree? Disagree? Just want to share your favorite jailbreak tweak? Bring it on in the comments (but let's keep it civil, guys).

Chapter 4
(June–October 1830)
How Satan became the devil—He tempts Eve—Adam and Eve fall, and death enters the world.
1 And I, the aLord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That bSatan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the cbeginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will dredeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely eI will do it; wherefore fgive me thine honor.
2 But, behold, my Beloved aSon, which was my Beloved and bChosen from the beginning, said unto me—cFather, thy dwill be done, and the eglory be thine forever.
3 Wherefore, because that aSatan brebelled against me, and sought to destroy the cagency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be dcast down;
4 And he became aSatan, yea, even the bdevil, the father of all clies, to ddeceive and to blind men, and to lead them ecaptive at his will, even as many as would not fhearken unto my voice.
5 And now the serpent was more asubtle than any beast of the field which I, the Lord God, had made.
6 And aSatan put it into the heart of the serpent, (for he had drawn away bmany after him,) and he sought also to cbeguile Eve, for he dknew not the emind of God, wherefore he sought to destroy the world.
7 And he said unto the woman: Yea, hath God said—Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (And he spake by the mouth of the serpent.)
8 And the woman said unto the serpent: We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden;
9 But of the fruit of the tree which thou beholdest in the midst of the garden, God hath said—Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
10 And the serpent said unto the awoman: Ye shall not surely die;
11 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your aeyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, bknowing good and evil.
12 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it became pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be adesired to make her wise, she took of the bfruit thereof, and did ceat, and also gave unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
13 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they had been anaked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves baprons.
14 And they heard the voice of the Lord God, as they were awalking in the garden, in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife went to hide themselves from the bpresence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
15 And I, the Lord God, called unto Adam, and said unto him: Where agoest thou?
16 And he said: I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I beheld that I was naked, and I hid myself.
17 And I, the Lord God, said unto Adam: Who told thee thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, if so thou shouldst surely adie?
18 And the man said: The woman thou gavest me, and commandest that she should remain with me, she gave me of the fruit of the tree and I did eat.
19 And I, the Lord God, said unto the woman: What is this thing which thou hast done? And the woman said: The serpent abeguiled me, and I did eat.
20 And I, the Lord God, said unto the serpent: Because thou hast done this thou shalt be acursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life;
21 And I will put aenmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed; and he shall bbruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
22 Unto the woman, I, the Lord God, said: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In asorrow thou shalt bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy bhusband, and he shall rule over thee.
23 And unto Adam, I, the Lord God, said: Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the fruit of the tree of which I commanded thee, saying—Thou shalt not eat of it, acursed shall be the ground for thy sake; in bsorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
24 Thorns also, and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
25 By the asweat of thy bface shalt thou eat bread, until thou shalt return unto the ground—for thou shalt surely die—for out of it wast thou taken: for cdust thou wast, and unto dust shalt thou return.
26 And Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living; for thus have I, the Lord God, called the first of all women, which are amany.
27 Unto Adam, and also unto his wife, did I, the Lord God, make coats of askins, and bclothed them.
28 And I, the Lord God, asaid unto mine Only Begotten: Behold, the bman is become as one of us to cknow good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and dpartake also of the etree of life, and eat and live forever,
29 Therefore I, the Lord God, will send him forth from the Garden of aEden, to till the ground from whence he was taken;
30 For as I, the Lord God, liveth, even so my awords cannot return void, for as they go forth out of my mouth they must be fulfilled.
31 So I drove out the man, and I placed at the east of the Garden of aEden, bcherubim and a flaming sword, which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life.
32 (And these are the words which I spake unto my servant Moses, and they are true even as I will; and I have spoken them unto you. See thou show them unto no man, until I command you, except to them that believe. Amen.)

Prepare your trip
Passports and Visas
Make sure all your required documents are valid
If you are travelling abroad, you should confirm that you have all the necessary documents and that they are all valid. Here is all you need for a problem-free travel.
I am an EU citizen and I am travelling within the EU or the Schengen area.
Although European citizens are not required to present a national identity document or passport to cross the border between two countries within the Schengen area, it is recommended that you have your documents with you, as they may be requested at any time during your trip.
Please note that your driver's permit, bank cards and tax identification documents are not considered valid travel or identification documents.
I am travelling outside the European Union.
When travelling outside the European Union, into a country outside the Schengen area (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Ireland or Romania) you are required to present your passport or a valid identity/citizen's card. In the United Kingdom it is mandatory to present a valid passport.
If, in turn, you are travelling to third countries, you must have a valid passport and, depending on your destination and the length of your stay, a visa may be required.
To find out which documents are needed, it is recommended that you contact the Embassy or Consulate of the destination country before travelling.
Which documents do I need to enter Portugal?
If you are a resident of the European Union or the Schengen area, you must present a valid identification document, but you are not required to have a Passport or Visa.
Third-country nationals must always present their Passport. Depending on your country of origin and the length of your stay in Portugal, a valid Visa may also be required.
