Occupy L.A. movement gains momentum
Over the past few weeks, hundreds of events sprung up in solidarity with New York's Occupy Wall Street movement. The gatherings took place in metropolitan areas across the U.S., and even internationally. This week, the movement emerged on the West Coast.
"California is ripe for this kind of movement," says Heidi Fulzdorf, one of the organizers of the recent Occupy Los Angeles group. "This not a Wall Street, one-place kind of movement, this is a national movement. We can get that many people and more in L.A."
Starting Saturday Oct. 1, the Occupy L.A. group joined the movement in a protest that started at downtown's Pershing Square and ended at City Hall where they made their camp on the north lawn.
Nearly a thousand people attended the protest with the numbers expected to double on the weekend.
The small group of about 15 organizers who fostered Occupy L.A., said it started, like many movements, on the Internet.
"We got together in a little tiny chat room," says Fulzdorf. "We organized online first, then our first meeting was Friday in Pershing Square, and that's the seed of this whole thing."
So, in what has become the movement's trademark style, the organizers reached out through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, and organized a general assembly meeting on Sept. 25, where 40 to 50 attendees voted to march from Pershing Square to City Hall on Oct. 1.
Mario Brito, an out-of-work construction worker who helped organize the movement, explains what the movement means.
"It's about the wealth inequalities, the 99 percent owning only one percent of the wealth while the top 1 percent has 99 percent," says Brito. "The reality is that the banks got bailed out, and Main Street got sold out, and that's what this whole thing is about--economic justice, and creating a better society."
The mother protests in New York, though originally intended to be peaceful in nature, have spawned some heated incidents, including a protest that moved to the Brooklyn Bridge and ended in the arrest of 700 protesters.
Zach Addair, one of the 700 arrested, says, "We were detained for like 11 hours, and then we were let go," adding that protesters usually just "went back out there" after being released.
The arrests did little to stifle the momentum of the movement.
Since then, it has only been getting "bigger and bigger," Addair said.
Dozens of unions across the nation have joined in support of this growing movement.
While the exact numbers change from hour to hour, almost every protest has managed to consistently keep a few hundred people at the events at all times.
Many protests are planned to start later this week, and the hacktivist group Anonymous, a collective hacking force, has issued a threat to shut down the New York Stock Exchange.
The Los Angeles protests have thus far succeeded in avoiding major conflict.
Fulzdorf says that the group has made attempts to acquire all required permits and permission, and that the LAPD has actually been highly supportive.
"The police are helping us really organize a very big crowd," Addair says. "I mean, they are the 99 percent, they have issues with their pensions and their benefits. A lot of them support us on a personal level. They're being super-generous and kind and amenable to anyone who is willing to give them a smile."
The protesters are currently camped out at City Hall with no plans to go anywhere.
Numerous upcoming events and workshops are planned for the next several days, and Fulzdorf hopes the atmosphere of peace will remain.
"I can't see the future," she says. "And no one can. But there's a lot of people here and I think there is good faith on both sides."

Coming to our Madison, WI office can help improve your sleep apnea symptoms
We can all agree that sleep is very important, and when we don't get the quality sleep we need our day suffers. And those with sleep apnea can't ignore that it is linked to other serious health issues like heart disease and stroke, not to mention its ability to cause excessive daytime exhaustion and increase your chances for work-related injuries. If you are looking for a solution to your sleep apnea, talk to our Madison, WI dentist Dr. Angela Bauer Williams today.
What is sleep apnea?
While there are a few different forms of sleep apnea, the most common type tends to be obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), in which breathing periodically stops multiple times throughout the night. In some cases, someone may temporarily stop breathing over a hundred times in one night. Those with sleep apnea often snore loudly or wake up gasping or choking for air.
Why is sleep apnea dangerous?
Sleep apnea leads to extreme daytime fatigue, which can affect your work or school productivity. It can also increase your chances of injury, whether on the job or while driving. Sleep apnea is also linked to several health problems including:
- Heart attack
- Heart arrhythmias
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
How can my Madison, WI dentist help?
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can work to determine whether oral appliance therapy could ease your symptoms and give you a better nights rest. How severe your symptoms are will determine whether this is the right therapy for you.
While CPAP devices are the most common way to treat sleep apnea, those with more mild to moderate forms of sleep apnea may be able to benefit from an oral appliance. Similar to a mouthguard, these dental devices reposition the jaw and the tongue to prevent throat muscles from collapsing into the airways. These devices are only worn at night while you sleep and each device is custom-fitted to cater to your specific needs.
Benefits include:
- Being smaller and more comfortable to wear than a CPAP device
- Being more convenient
- Being easier to travel with
- Needing less equipment
- Being easy to care for and maintain
Sleep apnea doesn't have to take over your life. Call Dr. Bauer today at Dental Center for Snoring & Sleep Apnea to schedule a consultation to find out if oral appliance therapy is the right option for you.

Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.
by Graham Summers
Gains Pains Capital
In a previous article I began delving into the toxic sewer that is the Spanish banking system. At the root of the problem is the previously unregulated Spanish cajas or regional/ local banks which own as much as 56% of all Spanish mortgages.
To give you an idea of how bad things are with the cajas, consider that in February 2011 the Spanish Government implemented legislation demanding all Spanish banks have equity equal to 8% of their "risk-weighted assets." Those banks that failed to meet this requirement had to either merge with larger banks or face partial nationalization.
The deadline for meeting this capital request was September 2011. Between February 2011 and September 2011, the number of cajas has in Spain has dropped from 45 to 17.

Ready for Winter to End
Tiffany Geiger
Happy March! The cold weather seems to be subsiding here in NYC this week and I have to say I'm not mad about it.
I got this coat last winter from J.Crew and have to say I love it, it's so warm. These boots are also so comfortable! And run true to size. I just got this scarf and it's the perfect blanket size. It's so good for layering you know you have to layer this time of year - cold mornings and nights and warmer afternoons.

Once Momma decides something there's really no arguing, so I crawl out of bed with her at midnight and we sneak away from the dormitory, the other girls dead asleep. The fog of detergent and too many perfumes gives way to a humid swelter of jasmine, fiddlewood, and cherry sage, and I can barely keep up with Momma's long-legged stride. We edge past the underwater theatre's bulky entrance, towards the far end of the spring where the water is deepest.
It's a bad idea, I want to say, it's not allowed, but even in my head, the protestations sound annoyingly fretful. If only she would turn back at me with a wink and a grin as if we were being naughty, out on a lark, but no, Momma isn't much for smiles. Her mouth is set in the same purposeful line as the last time we stole away in the night, but back then she'd carried me from my bed to the bus stop, and this time we aren't running away from something; she's on a quest like Captain America or Ponce de Leon and needs me there in case "something happens."
"What if there's gators?" I finally whisper as we near the cove. She laughs as if there weren't signs all over the park warning tourists away from the gators and poisonous snakes and eels. Away from the colorful umbrellas and painted mermaid statues the landscape is more impenetrably strange, all the green foliage dark and lethal like ink or old blood. I hold Momma's towel tight against my chest and jump at every cicada as she sits on a rock by the water and puts on her flippers.
"I have sixteen minutes, maybe nineteen. After that…" she trails off with a shrug.
"After that what?" There was no way I'd be able to jump in and save her. Even in the shallowest parts of the spring, I can only sloppily dog-paddle. Five years with the mermaids and I can repair the breathing hoses and clean algae from any surface but the water resists a body heavy with land and fear. I think of Momma pirouetting and waving to a blurry audience behind the aquarium glass in the underwater silence and feel nauseous.
"Go wake Mr. P, I guess."
She slips her gaze off me like seaweed, already thinking about the dive. The moon is full enough that I can see fish meandering below the surface of the water, not just a rippled mirror to the heavy sky but a window. The women are uncanny, yes, twisting complex ballet maneuvers in their simple swimsuits, but the water itself really encourages skepticism. Checking tickets or searching the stone floor for discarded candy wrappers I listen to the tourists whisper their doubts—fans are blowing the girls' hair, surely. The fish are actually swimming in an aquarium built into the glass, a border separating suspended girls from the audience. This murmuring feels almost blasphemous, and always puts me in mind of Daddy's reaction when a guy from his former platoon sent in the postcard from Silver Springs, back when Mr. P had just gotten it all officially opened—soaking up some sun with the mermaids! scrawled on the back with a shaky hand. The woman hovered at the mouth of an underwater canyon, arms spread into effortless wings. Daddy couldn't believe that she was actually floating—where were the fish? The air bubbles? The water, his friend explained, is clear as nothing. Daddy squinted at the postcard and searched for suspension strings between swigs of beer. Once he fell asleep Momma hung the picture with a magnet high and center, and the lady looked to be flying out from a hole in our fridge.
Momma considers the sky, considers the water, and the rocks jutting from the surface could roof the same canyon from the postcard. This is especially easy to imagine since the moon washes Momma black and white as a photograph. She's still as a photograph and I'm afraid. The spring is so deep here that no one's ever reached the bottom; not even Mr. P, our own human fish. Deep dives for the performances alone take weeks of training to perfect, and the water outside the park's perimeter is forbidden. Momma has long since shaken away any respect for what's forbidden. For a while, after she dives I can still see her growing smaller and smaller beneath the surface.
◄ ━ ≪ ⋘ ⋙ ≫ ━ ►
After the war, a paperwork mix-up had announced Daddy dead instead of another man with the same name, and when he eventually came home we called it a resurrection. After that first telegram, Momma's boss at the auto shop kept her on instead of retraining a man—her hands were so nimble, skilled with small mechanical parts. She wore black mourning dresses out around town and black crescents under her nails at work. When Daddy walked through the front door a few months later Momma didn't scream or drop the dish she was holding; she was stiff as a flagpole. It seemed at first like the oil and grease wouldn't ever leave Momma's fingers but every night she scrubbed and scrubbed in the hot water until her hands were angry red, then clean as if they'd never held a wrench.
I think resurrection when Momma emerges from the water twenty minutes later. She sits beside me on the rocks and even in the darkness, I can see how flushed her face is. I pat her body with the towel as she takes breath after deep breath of air. "Okay," is all she says, and holds my hand on our way back to the dormitory. My skin prickles a little with the uncustomary touch of her water-wrinkled fingers in my palm. Momma isn't much for touching, though even at fourteen she brushes my wispy brown hair every night with gentle strokes that I copy on her own fat, sun-warmed locks—in Mississippi, she would unpin her golden mane from a tidy updo and let it collapse against her back. Here in Florida, I work the boar brush through hair that barely reaches her shoulders. Underwater it curls around her head like a perfect halo of light and her movements evoke this too, her body's twist and twine. All of the girls are strong and graceful but Momma may as well be made of water.
The mermaids practice their choreography early in the morning and late in the evening to avoid the worst of the heat; they reference the pose-drawings stored in waterproof plastic sheets then incorporate these into elaborate improvisations. They're training another girl from the nearby high-school looking for some local notoriety to help launch a Hollywood career. Momma catches my eye from the pool and raises her brows; I smirk back—we know these girls never stay long, the ones who yearn to be famous. Of course, being photographed is no small part of mermaid work. Mr. P has always been utterly savvy about promoting his projects and before the park even opened the postcards were pouring into local gift-shops, hoarded in shoe boxes, hung on refrigerators. Momma still has the copy of Harper's Bazaar she got back in Mississippi with the underwater shot taken at the springs—a model in a white nightgown is suspended, rising or floating, an Ophelia who could be alive or dead but her face is the only part above the surface; it evades the camera. Some people, Momma told me, were uncomfortable.
Mr. P is picking up his daughter from the airport, so Momma and another seasoned performer lead this training session, remind the new girl to be careful about not kicking up sand with her fins. Some maintenance guys touch up the brightly painted statues of large-breasted, finned sirens that bear little resemblance to the actual mermaids in the pool. They sneak glances at the women; I eye them warily. The concrete is still warm on my thighs from the afternoon and I can't help but sigh waiting for Mr. P to arrive with Eileen, who at only fifteen has more skill in the water than most of the grown performers. Like her daddy, she's probably spent more of her life submerged than on two feet. The women in the pool dive and surface in quick succession and I imagine my limbs gone buoyant.
◄ ━ ≪ ⋘ ⋙ ≫ ━ ►
Summer is as long as any season. I launder bathing suits, pour kettle corn into paper bags, count crumpled dollar bills. Mr. P lends me books and comics, and our two mermen read me poems about crooked hearts and twenty-eight boys bathing by the shore. The mermaids teach me how to pin my hair into victory rolls, change a tire, repair shoes, apply an even border of lip liner, how to know when a man is lying. I can't tell when they're lying. They pass these things along like something ancient. When they tell me about their lives before becoming mermaids they never sound sad; everything outside the confines of the park is a dream. Once upon a time, there was a wedding, a child's funeral, an angry father, a typewriter. Once a war started and then it stopped.
I hope my brother is doing well. I wonder what I'm missing but have the sense that it isn't much. It's hard to want what isn't in front of me.
Momma climbs from her twin mattress and wakes the mermaids, a different girl each midnight. She wakes the mermen. They follow her through the darkness to the deepest part of the spring.
I tell Eileen that one day I might move to a place surrounded by mountains and covered in piles of clean snow. Eileen tells me about her mother, a former Olympic swimmer who hosts luxurious garden parties with her new husband, and about her high-school, where she learns to prepare meals and change diapers. She flips through a battered biology textbook and explains to me how eels move through the water like snakes do on land, while more streamlined fish with stiff, crescent-shaped caudal fins swish their tails rapidly from side to side, propelling them the way sculling moves a boat. Pectoral fins and pelvic fins are like car breaks and help with difficult maneuvers—when the fish chase prey around corners of corals or take sharp turns to escape predators.
I whisper this information to Momma before bed. She hmm's when it's appropriate and stretches her arms, rubs at the tension in her shoulders.
"What did you find at the bottom of the spring?" I ask. She gives me a rare, lazy smile and gestures to her legs curled under the blanket.
"A tail, of course."
Some of the network executives from California are in the audience and this might explain the feeling of foreboding in the air, or maybe the mermaids are doing this on purpose, casting a sinister spell with arms and legs that'll let the bigwigs know exactly what they're planning to purchase. I hunker down a few chairs away to watch the show and glance at the suited men with their notebooks full of small, tidy print. The aquarium light makes their faces weirdly drawn, all sharp lines and wavering blue shadows, and I feel sunk inside a whale's belly, a tiny angler gazing out between its teeth. Momma and the other mermaids cut through the water slow as sharks, bathing suits lying seamless against their abdomens, ribs slicing forward when they raise their arms. They settle onto large rocks and drink Grapette, eat bananas. I imagine fangs between their cherry red lips.
In another corner of the theatre, Mr. P tugs uncomfortably at the neck of his starched button-up. He's short and nuggety, an awkward figure on the shore. Backstage the mermaids have whispered about the investors and their unwillingness to continue funding Mr. P's show; girls were one thing but apparently, the mermen didn't help matters, their smooth bodies too young to have fought in the war, made genderless as fish while they handstand and float in the spring. Customers would never keep coming, the investors said, without costumes and acts, without some relevance. The girls toss laughs and glances over their shoulders when they talk about it. They adjust swimsuits the color of their skin and stop a moment to rest a hand on another's hair.
The mermaids swim together then upwards and apart, what I think of as an upside-down vase, or maybe a mushroom cloud. Eileen dives into the space they've left for her, a slow curling descent. In the blue light, she could be a stingray's daughter. Every summer she tries to teach me to swim and fails spectacularly; but I like the determined concentration on her face, hair unbraided and pasted all over her skin, her hands on my shoulders. I can hold my breath for about thirty seconds before I have to come up sputtering, wiping the water from my eyes. "Again," she says, laughing not unkindly. The mermaids and mermen are seldom unkind to their own. Their gazes settle everywhere with recognition and ownership. When they're not performing or posing for photographs the smiles look very different and this is what I wish could live in the places of my body that aren't filled with deep dives and swimming—or carry away in my chest like a framed picture, wherever away might be.
I'm asleep and then a hand is over my mouth and I'm not anymore—I expect to see Mama but no, it's Eileen. She's wearing her bathing suit and a large sweatshirt with her high school's emblem sewed into the front. It takes me a second to realize that the dormitory is empty.
"Come with me," she says, hand no longer on my lips. I pull on a jacket and follow her barefoot into the damp air.
"Where is everyone?"
"I'm not sure, but I've got a hunch. Let's see."
She's grinning like this is such fun and I guess sneaking around in mysterious dark should be exciting for me too but my stomach is in knots. Without the guests and the women splashing and tanning and Mr. P bustling around in his swim trunks the whole place looks like something that shouldn't exist. We pass the entry sign that screams "WORLD FAMOUS SPRING of the LIVE MERMAIDS" and the emphasis on live unsettles me like there's a place somewhere I could see world famous mermaids bobbing in formaldehyde or ensconced in a marble sarcophagus. I think of scaly hands black and blue like mold wrapping my ankles.
No full moon tonight. We head towards the deepest part of the spring and I feel like I'm seeing what the earliest explorers might have, picking their way through the landscape with no flashlights or anything. I stumble and Eileen grabs my arm, then my hand. We pause at the sound of splashing and she squeezes my fingers tighter.
"I don't want to," I try to say, but she's already pushing her way through thin branches and hanging vines, dragging me along.
I see Momma's arms first, the unmistakably broad, freckled shoulders, her long red-painted fingers. She isn't laughing or smiling, just diving, pushing her body in and out of the increasingly unruly water. She doesn't look like anyone's mother. When their tails slice through the surface the limited starlight makes them seem crusted with jewels, then dark again, amphibious. The cove broils with them, water heaving and smacking at the shore. I expect laughter but there is none. Eileen sheds layers of clothes and, before I can try to stop her, dives into the hectic cauldron of breasts and scales. The entrance to the underground theatre is overrun with dense foliage—akebia with burgundy stems, trumpet honeysuckle that fit over my pinkie fingers, indecipherable moss. I keep the plant-life pruned, sweep away dead leaves and other debris from the concrete and sometimes, if I'm feeling especially ambitious, shine the colorful rocks that Mr. P inlaid years ago into the walking paths. He and I ground up a special meal of vitamins and vegetable matter and sugar to toss daily into the spring; although it's not really necessary it helps us feel useful. Mr. P grows very old, and so of course returning was no choice for me at all. He still swims in the mornings and evenings, huffing his way around the pool, sometimes even diving. One day I know he'll disappear into the deepest part of the spring and I'll be alone on shore.
Women and men and those who defy any categorization come to swim in the springs. They are quiet and step respectfully around the main pool, grazing the water's clear surface with their fingertips. We give them pillows and blankets and lead them into the dormitory for the night, leave warm cocoa by their beds, and in the morning when the beds are empty we launder and fold the sheets. Some days when the sun creeps towards violet evening I sit on the rocks at the park's perimeter and Eileen surfaces to rest her head on my knees. I touch her wet hair and kiss her wrists. My hands slide across her scales and sometimes, if I'm not careful, bleed.

BATH — The new Greater Bath Homeless Initiative will host two speakers at a City Hall meeting Monday, Jan. 20.
Mike Mooney, director of New Beginnings' Transitional Living Services in Lewiston, and Cindy Namer, director of Homeless Initiatives for Maine Housing, will speak at the 6 p.m. gathering.
The initiative is comprised of citizens, churches, local and state public officials, and members of human service organizations working to find housing and services for homeless individuals and families in the greater Bath area.
A recent press release said the weather "has been a grim reminder of the plight of the homeless who have had to seek the warmth and shelter that most of us take for granted."
Martha Stein, director of community relations for Tedford Housing, said last month that the organization runs two supportive housing apartments in Bath for people who have previously been homeless. A case manager works with residents to help them get their lives in order and gain access to needed services.
A five-unit building, Gilbert Place at 500 Middle St., is for adults with mental health-related disabilities. The six-unit Evergreen Woods building at 10 James Way, which has two- and three-bedroom apartments, is for families where a primary adult has a disabling condition, Stein said.
Both buildings are almost always full, and residents pay rent and must follow specific rules, Stein said.
The homelessness initiative is exploring ideas such as identifying unoccupied buildings in Bath that could provide immediate housing, establishing a volunteer group to fill transportation needs for homeless people, founding a thrift shop to raise funds for the Bath Area Food Bank, and re-establishing the bank's clothing exchange.
The speakers will discuss the establishing of programs and the finding of funding resources. Call Betty King for more information at 443-9005.

Fuel for Friends seeks donations
BATH — In an effort to address heating needs around greater Bath, Midcoast Maine Community Action works with both the city and Regional School Unit 1 in raising funds for the Fuel for Friends program. The program aids people in Bath, Arrowsic, Georgetown, Phippsburg, West Bath and Woolwich with up to 100 gallons of heating fuel.
Between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2013, the program assisted seven households, comprised of 18 individuals, according to Valerie Hinkley of MMCA.
"There was certainly need to be able to assist more, but that was what we had for funding for that timeframe," she said Monday, noting that Fuel for Friends donations have dropped off in the past couple of years.
Donations to MMCA can be made at mainecoastcommunityaction.org.

Early this year, property prices and sales resurged in top-tier Chinese cities — and, to a lesser extent, in second- and third-tier cities. The revival followed the boom (and subsequent collapse) of China's stock market in 2015, which, in turn, reflected Chinese investors' search for sound investments after the prolonged decline in home prices that began in March 2014. This recent history could serve as a cautionary tale for China's macroeconomic managers today, especially if the housing market keeps slowing in the second half of 2016. The Chinese government is running out of sustainable avenues for channeling the investment on which its economy still depends. At the same time, it is also running out of effective ways to maintain the high growth and employment rates that undergird social and political stability in much of the country.
But all parts of China are not created equal, and another housing market slump would hurt some regions more than others. The past few months of relatively robust price growth have disproportionately benefited China's largest and most advanced cities, nearly all of which are clustered on the coast. Conversely, the pangs of another downturn in housing prices will likely focus on the regions least able to bear them. For provinces in central, western or northeastern China — home mostly to second- and third-tier cities that would likely lose investment to their first-tier coastal counterparts in the event of a price drop — the consequences of a protracted decline would be manifold. Not only could these regions expect higher unemployment, but their local and municipal governments would also lose a crucial source of revenue if land sales were to dwindle.
Regional Disparities
Investment is the main component of China's GDP, contributing 44 percent in 2014. Nationwide, local governments are responsible for the vast majority of investment; in the first five months of 2016, local governments accounted for nearly 96 percent of total completed fixed asset investment across the country, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China. But localities take in a far smaller share of tax revenue and other budgetary income — often less than 50 percent — a legacy of the central government's push to recentralize fiscal and administrative powers in the early 1990s. As a result, local governments in many parts of China rely heavily on extra-budgetary sources of revenue to fund the investments that keep their economies afloat and their populations employed. For the past two decades, no source of revenue has been as lucrative or as consistent as land sales, which depend on dynamic housing markets and high home prices.
The regions least reliant on extra-budgetary sources of revenue, including land sales, are often also those with the most vibrant and sustainable housing markets. Meanwhile, areas that suffer the greatest imbalances between local spending and revenue intake tend to have the most vulnerable property markets. In 2014, for example, three top-tier coastal cities — Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin — respectively covered 90, 87 and 81 percent of their total spending with revenue from taxes and other budgetary sources, well above the national average of 57 percent. These cities, along with major southern cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, also boast the country's strongest property markets.
By comparison, only 55 percent of what Chongqing, a municipality in southwest China, spends annually comes from budgetary revenue. And in China's poorer central and western regions, that figure is considerably lower: Some cities spend 10 times the amount of budgetary revenue they take in each year. In addition, these regions have the weakest housing markets in the country. All these factors leave them far more susceptible to construction-related downturns than megacities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Anticipating the Fallout
For provinces such as Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hunan, another housing slump would be especially damaging. Each province receives less than 50 percent of its total expenditures through budgetary revenue, and all encompass countless second- and third-tier cities strapped with high levels of local government and corporate debt. In the event of another sustained price decline in the housing market, investment will likely ebb from these cities and flow into larger ones such as Chengdu or Chongqing, which offer higher and safer returns. The regions lack the wealth and administrative infrastructure to generate enough tax revenue to sustain the high levels of investment that they need. Moreover, their investment needs are too large to manage through transfers from the central government alone. During a downturn, these areas are at the greatest risk of experiencing large budget deficits, a grim prospect given their already high levels of (and reliance on) debt, both formal and informal.
Of course, one month of stagnating home prices does not make a sustained downturn. Nevertheless, given China's precarious economic circumstances, and considering the primacy of housing-related construction in China's GDP and as a source of employment, any hint of a slowdown in the market merits attention. June's home price figures will help clarify whether May was merely a fluke or the start of a troubling trend. If it is a sign of things to come, then rising unemployment, local corporate and government debt defaults, and even unrest in the parts of China most vulnerable to the fallout from a housing slump may soon follow.

Unusual Hazards in Afghanistan (and Elsewhere)
Canada troops battle 10-foot Afghan marijuana plants
OTTAWA, Canada (Reuters) -- Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall.
General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
One soldier told [Hiller] later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."
Well, I knew Afghanistan was a high-altitude kind of place, but I didn't realise they meant high-altitude...

being romantic is overrated
The title of this post should give you an idea of how I feel about Valentine's Day.
Don't get me wrong - I think it's perfectly fine to show someone love and affection through gifts or flowers, but I think sometimes that we place too much stock on romantic gestures as a sign of "love".
I suppose this comes as a result of being married to a rather un-romantic person (sorry, V!).
I remember in our early years of dating that I would feel a teeny bit disappointed if he hadn't planned anything for Valentine's Day.
Over the years, though, I've cared less and less about February 14. Maybe it comes with age (sigh), or maybe it's the fact that... it really doesn't matter to me anymore.
Like many of you, I enjoy being on the receiving end of grand gestures of love. Who wouldn't?
But that really isn't what love is about. I know it's been said countless times, but it's something that just has to be said. Especially since Valentine's Day has become such a circus act, where people use it as a way to show off or, worse, feel "superior" than others. It's not always overtly depicted, but it might just be an unconscious motivation.
Valentine's Day doesn't mean anything to me anymore because he shows me that he loves me in a million other ways:
By helping to cook and clean up (two things I don't particularly enjoy). By staying up till 3am and having a conversation about the most random things with me even though he has class at 9am the next day. By letting me decide where to eat 99% of the time. By watching shows that I want to watch. By building a vanity table for me to store my ever-growing beauty stash.
I could go on, but by now, it should be clear that... his love language is "acts of service". (Ok, to be fair, he did surprise me with roses and a sweet handwritten card for our third wedding anniversary.)
Nobody would put these mundane scenes I just described above in a movie. After all, you wouldn't fall head over heels for someone who decided to declare his love for you by, say, cleaning up your house, or cutting fruit for you, or doing your laundry.
But these insignificant acts are love in action. Simple, pure, selfless love.
So to all the women out there who might not get anything special on Valentine's Day:
Stop comparing. Stop wishing he would be a bit more like your girl pal's boyfriend or husband. Stop berating him for not doing anything romantic.
Start listing out what he has done for you and your household. Start appreciating and recognising that he does show love in the smallest of ways.
But on second thought: Why wait till Valentine's Day to do this? You might as well start now. <3

Debate me.
For reference:
Maryland is the most confusing one.
Some of appalachia isn't consistent with the rest of the south.
I like some of California, but hate the rest of it. I like Orange County and I am fine with Marin. I hate San Francisco and Los Angeles.
I am considering Northern Virginia the south based on the history of the area and it's strong former ties to the confederacy.
I'm considering rural southern Maryland southern. People there are super laid back and friendly compared to the rest of the state.
Texas is too large to be all part of the south.

Pricing policy
I believe that everyone needs financial literacy in the modern capitalist world. Everyone, no matter how much or how little they make, can take more control of their lives by learning more personal finance. My core commitment is that everyone should be able to learn at a rate affordable to them.
That's why we have income-based tiered pricing to promote equity:
If you make $60 per hour or more, we ask that you pay Tier A pricing, our standard rate.
If you make $30 to $59 per hour, we ask that you pay Tier B pricing, around 33% less than standard pricing.
If you make $16 to $30 per hour, we ask that you pay Tier C pricing, around 50% less than standard pricing.
If you make $15 per hour or less, we ask that you pay Tier D pricing, around 67% less than standard pricing.
This Pricing Policy allows anyone to come to our courses, regardless of income. Side benefit: more diverse + interesting cohorts and communities.
Our pricing policy means that you'll immediately see the benefits
Tier A and B graduates report saving $600-$2000 more per month.
Tier C and D graduates report saving $100-$400 more per month.
That means the payback period on the course is about a month. Then you'll continue to save and reap the benefits from then on.

For a few months, members of The Numad Group have been part of a community of neighbors in the East of 5th District planning a Block Party for Rapid City, to bring good people together to celebrate our neighborhood. We hope you'll make plans now to join us on Friday, September 8 from 5-9 PM. The Block Party is part of Rapid City's Downtown Art Night, and is the last one of the year. You will be able to find the Block Party at Trinity Eco Prayer Park that is on the corner of 4th and St. Joseph streets.
Because it is the last night of Downtown Art Night, we are going all out to celebrate the arts—and all the cool things happening East of 5th. We will have an outdoor concert featuring Matt Costa and special performances by Life Without Lemons, Library Advocate, J Shogren and the Stevens High School Jazz Band. Matt Costa is being sponsored by The Garage Concert Series, where he performed last year in front of a sold-out audience. The night will be full of music, but will be broken up with other events such as yoga and dancing. There will also be many events for children—face painting, tattoos, making slime, and so much more.
Our goal is to support and enjoy the arts, and do it as a community. This event is made possible thanks to an all-volunteer committee made up of neighbors of the East of 5th District. At The Numad Group, we are very thankful to be part of East of 5th and are very excited for this event.

(By the way, there may or may not be a secret happening during the block party… show up to find out…)

Amazon will most likely be allowed to use the "Appstore" term
After Apple filed for Amazon to be banned from using the Appstore term, Amazon will most likely win and be allowed to use the term after all.
Apple sued Amazon because Apple first coined the term "App Store," and had complained when Amazon's Appstore had spawned.
Amazon called Apple's claims preposterous because they claimed an app store was a generic term.
The judge, Phyllis Hamilton, states that Apple is unable to show confusion created amongst consumers of Amazon were to use that name and that Apple's request will probably be denied.

Faking the Band 2 – Banshees? How clever. [Oct. 28]
Faking the Band 2 is a weekly feature detailing the latest in DLC for the Rock Band platform. This segment will also cover Guitar Hero World Tour DLC starting November 4.
We all see what you did there, Harmonix. We all know that banshees are the wailing, frightening, otherworldly creatures of Irish mythology who portend death, and so releasing a Siouxsie and the Banshees pack now is a bit of Halloween jest. Apparently, someone at Rock Band headquarters, someone in the track scheduling division, at the very least, has a good sense of humor. Ghastly jokes aside (cue rimshot), today's DLC offerings are a welcome addition, as they both flesh out an unusual genre and provide a little fan service in the way of a much-requested tune.
Rock Band 2 doesn't have a "post-punk" category, per se, but it certainly has enough related tracks to warrant another bracket: genre staples like Devo and Talking Heads, revivalists like Maxïmo Park and the Killers, and close calls that take the label to its logical extreme (e.g. Sonic Youth, which is more rightly referred to as a "noise rock" band). The Siouxsie and the Banshees Pack firmly adds to the list of genre staples with their breakout hit "Hong Kong Garden," but then veers hard toward the pop side of things with songs like "The Killing Jar" and "Kiss Them for Me." Of course, every track is characterized by the group's Gothic sensibilities and lead singer Siouxsie Sioux's enigmatic lyrics. But there's more, folks! Molly Ringwald devotees will be tickled pink to know that the Psychedelic Furs' "Pretty In Pink" is also available for digital consumption.
Post-punk clearly isn't everyone's cup of tea, judging by the sale numbers for the Devo tunes in August, but that's where bands like Blink-182 and Silversun Pickups come in handy. Blink's "Dammit," a bouncy pop punk anthem, has been an oft-requested song in forums and fan setlists since time immemorial, it seems, and Silversun Pickups' "Lazy Eye," a Smashing Pumpkins-esque track on-disc, has made way for "Well Thought Out Twinkles" and "Melatonin."
Siouxsie and the Banshees Pack
[160 MS points per song / 440 for pack / all masters]
Assorted singles [160 MS points per song / all masters]
- "Dammit" – Blink-182

Madonna's 10 Greatest Songs
In reverse order of greatness, 10-1.
WHAT DID WE LEARN, immersing ourselves in Madonna's oeuvre, in preparation for the cover story in the latest MOJO magazine?
Firstly (and, like, durr) that she has a lot of great songs. Secondly, that for a predominantly dance-pop artist, she is uncommonly artful and eclectic. Thirdly, that she can't help but pour her life into her songs, even the ones she didn't, technically, write.
So, as a kind of audio-visual companion to our new issue, here's the MOJO office's idea of La Ciccone's 10 Greatest Songs. You will agree with some, excoriate others. As ever, we look forward to your feedback on MOJO's Facebook and @MOJOmagazine on Twitter.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. stocks ended close to session highs Monday as expectations of a strong first quarter earnings season sparked a broad-based rally, and helped temper the negative impact of a fresh spike in crude oil prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.06% was up 73.53 points, or 0.7 percent, at 10,515.56, with 26 of the benchmark index's thirty components posting gains.
The Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ rose 12.60 points, or 0.6 percent, at 2,065.48, just off its high for the session of 2,069.45.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.01% was up 0.5 percent at 1,145.22, while the Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks RUT, -0.10% rose 1.77 points, or 0.3 percent, to 599.65.
Alfred Kugel, senior investment strategist at Stein Roe Investment Counsel said investors have got used to the current high price of oil.
"It's not scaring them anymore because it doesn't seem to be having much of an impact on economic growth, so the focus is really back on earnings."
He said investors are satisfied they are going to see first quarter earnings rise between 16 percent and 18 percent year-on-year, and are buying in anticipation of the results.
Kugel said the market was holding up despite the worsening situation in Iraq.
"Investors don't think it's going to have an effect on the economy and it's much too early to determine whether it will have an effect on the election," said Kugel, referring to the U.S. presidential election in November.
On the broader market, advancers and decliners were evenly balanced on the New York Stock Exchange, reversing early strength when gainers were outpacing fallers by a clear margin.
On the Nasdaq, advancers maintained their edge over decliners by an 18 to 13 margin.
With many European markets closed for the Easter Monday public holiday, volume was relatively light at 1.1 billion on the NYSE and 1.46 billion on the Nasdaq.
Dow standouts
On the Dow, ExxonMobil climbed as much as 2.1 percent as crude oil futures inched closer to $38 a barrel. Rising crude oil prices also gave the oil services sector a lift with the Philadelphia oil services index OSX, +0.57% gaining 2.4 percent.
DuPont DD, -0.95% climbed 1.5 percent after announcing major job cuts. McDonald's MCD, +1.03% was another significant gainer, rising 1.2 percent. The fast-food group reports earnings later this week.
New Dow component AIG AIG, -0.26% hit a 52-week high of $77.20, and ended up 0.7 percent at $76.77. Procter & Gamble PG, +0.79% also hit a 52-week high of $107.39 in afternoon trading, and finished the session up 0.7 percent at $107.12.
Other gainers include Boeing BA, -0.62% up 1.9 percent and Caterpillar CAT, +0.20% 2.2 percent higher.
Disney DIS, +0.16% was the most notable decliner on the benchmark index, sliding 2.1 percent, after Banc of Americas analyst Douglas Shapiro said Comcast CMCSA, -0.31% is considering abandoning its bid for the media giant. The poor office box performance of its latest blockbuster film Alamo also weighed on the stock.
Hewlett-Packard HPQ, +0.32% fell 1 percent as Goldman Sachs, in its morning note to clients, said it would be an opportunistic seller of the stock "over the intermediate term in order to increase exposure to Dell and its partners." On Thursday, H-P fell 1 percent in the wake of an upward revision from Dell of its first quarter revenue forecast.
Currencies, gold, bonds
On the currency markets, the dollar was mixed against a basket of major currencies.
The euro edged down 0.1 percent against the greenback to $1.2072. The British pound rose 0.3 percent to $1.8378 but the dollar fell back against the yen, down 0.9 percent at 105.32 as Tokyo's stock rally overnight drew demand for Japanese assets.
Gold prices were down $1.30 to $419.40, extending a $2 loss seen last week on the back of a strengthening dollar. Read full story
Treasury prices fell on inflation worries, with benchmark 10-year yields closing at a three-month high. See full story.
Oil spikes
Crude oil futures closed up 70 cents, or 1.9 percent at $37.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as ongoing violence in Iraq continued to threaten that country's oil production and oil demand from China continues to exceed expectations. See full story.
DuPont cuts jobs
On the Dow, DuPont said it plans to cut 3,500 jobs, or 6 percent of its workforce, as part of restructuring plan. The chemical giant added that it's on track for its goal to improve its annualized cost structure by $900 million in 2005.
The company expects to record a restructuring charge of 17 to 19 cents per share in the second quarter, largely from employee severance costs. Shares of DuPont ended up 1.5 percent at $44.06.
Elsewhere, Microsoft MSFT, -0.22% agreed to pay $440 million to InterTrust settle all lawsuits and to license InterTrust's patent portfolio. Shares of the software giant gained 13 cents to $25.61. See full story.
Disney stumbles
Disney DIS, +0.16% fell 2.1 percent as Banc of America securities analyst Douglas Shapiro fuelled speculation once again that Comcast may withdraw its bid for the company.
Shapiro upgraded the cable operator to "buy" from "neutral," and raised his price target on the company to $41. In his note to clients, the analyst said the bank increasingly believes that "Comcast will ultimately abandon the Walt Disney bid."
Shares of Comcast CMCSA, -0.31% rose $1.10, or 3.8 percent at $30.34.
On the earnings front, Kimberley-Clark KMB, +1.33% climbed as much as 1.8 percent after it raised its first-quarter earnings outlook and said 2004 earnings are expected to be at the high end of its previous forecast.
But the maker of Huggies diapers warned its second-quarter results would be hurt by higher raw material costs. Shares of the company ended down 0.4 percent at $63.57.
Higher advertising revenues helped media groups Gannett Corp GCI, +2.01% and the New York Times NYT, +1.93% post solid first-quarter earnings.

Sakiewicz also confirmed that Rene Meulensteen's consultancy with the club would end this month and the search for a Head of Soccer Operations is ongoing.
"We have several ongoing conversations at the present time and we are working to get that person in place once we agree upon who we believe the best candidate is to help us achieve our goals," he said.
Currently the Union are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference table and were ranked 18th of 20 MLS teams in ESPN's most recent power poll.
"All of us here are committed to winning on the field," Sakiewicz penned. "Our ultimate goal is to bring a championship to you, the very best fans in Major League Soccer. We will continue to work tirelessly to achieve that goal and will never give up that top priority to get there."

Top most mysterious, unexplained disappearances in history. These missing people vanished and were never seen or heard from again, despite some strange and bizarre discoveries. To this day, these crazy, creepy mysteries remain unsolved! Were they kidnapped? What has gone wrong? One of those strange disappearances was from Mr. DB Cooper a man who after getting the money he needed from an airplane assault parachuted into the night and no one knows what happened to him ever after, this case is still open.
You know what´s really weird? People who vanish without a trace FOR EVER. "What the heck happened"?
DB Cooper
To this day, no one knows his real name but on Nov. 24, 1971, everyone was talking about the mysterious man who called himself Dan Cooper. Cooper was able to hijack a Northwest Airlines Flight and its 36 passengers and escape without being caught.
(shhh) Ok here's what happened. That afternoon he purchased a one-way ticket from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. He boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 305, a Boeing 727, carrying a briefcase and wearing a suit with a black overcoat. He took a seat in the rear of the plane and later lit a cigarette and ordered a drink from the flight attendant. (Back in the day when you could smoke on an airplane.) After paying for his drink, Cooper passed a note to the flight attendant saying he had a bomb in his briefcase which he later showed to her. He wanted $200,000 in twenty dollar bills and two parachutes upon landing in Seattle. He put on his sunglasses and remained cool and collected.
Once on the ground in Seattle, the FBI provided the ransom money after documenting and taking pictures of each bill. They gave Cooper the parachutes and the money. Once his demands were met, Cooper released all of the passengers and flight attendants but kept the flight crew. He told them to fly toward Mexico City at 200 miles per hour at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Cooper clearly had a plan, although nobody realized it until it was too late. He told everyone to stay in the cockpit with the door closed. During that time the rear staircase indicator light came on in the cockpit and with two parachutes and twenty-one pounds of ransom money, Dan Cooper parachuted into the night.
The FBI recreated the conditions of the jump and placed his landing in the area around Lake Merwin near Ariel, Washington. The FBI with help from state and local law enforcement, the U.S. Air Force and the National Guard began to search the woods in the area of the supposed landing site of Dan Cooper. The searches, eyewitness questioning, suspect list and a trace of the numbered bills used to pay the ransom, failed to yield any leads at all. To this day the hijacking of Flight 305 by Dan Cooper remains an open case. Who was DB Cooper? Did he live happily ever after with his money? Where is the money? Did he die in the fall? Did he lose the money and go back home pretending he'd been in a car accident? Again, what the heck happened???
Louis Le Prince
The man that should have gone down in history as one of the greatest inventors of all time and the founder of Cinematography vanished mysteriously after boarding a train in 1890. He created a 16-lens camera and 2 years later shot moving scenes on paper film – which sounds like a movie to me – several years before Tomas Edison and Louis Lumiere. You've heard of them I suppose….Before he could patent his work in the US and display his invention in New York, he went to France for a quick visit with his brother. On September 16, 1890, Le Prince boarded a train to Paris. When the train arrived at its destination, Le Prince and his luggage were gone. Right out of an Agatha Christie book!!! The windows were tightly closed and no one saw Le Prince outside his cabin. Despite intensive search efforts by the police and his family nothing conclusive was ever found on the train or along the railway. There are several theories as to his disappearance. One, that he was murdered by someone interested in patenting his work. As the case is, Le Prince had invented the moving picture camera, but because he was never able to patent it, Tomas Edison then claimed to have invented the camera a couple of years later. Hmmmmm…..slightly suspicious. That's why we credit Edison with so many inventions instead of Le Prince. History is not very nice to those who vanish (and don't patent their work). Le Prince's family went to court and strongly suspected foul play although nothing was ever proven.

Although this book takes place in the same world as Graceling, it contains only one person with a Grace. Instead, we delve into the fantastic world of monsters — beautiful, colorful creatures who also have a great deal of power. Fire is the last of her kind, a "human monster" — half-human, half-monster — whose name was chosen because of her beautiful hair in varying shades of red, orange, and pink. Much like Katsa (of Graceling), Fire is amazingly strong and fast. She is also musically gifted, can control people's minds, and can incite an attack (by monsters or men alike) with the mere presence of her unnatural beauty.
The Kingdom of the Dells is on the verge of war, with multiple people planning to overthrow the king, and the royal family is hoping that Fire will help them to keep the king safe. Fire's abilities make her the perfect ally, since she can easily extract information from enemy spies, but she has conflicting feelings about using her powers… even if it's for good. Because her father, Cansrel, had used his powers to bring about so much pain and destruction, Fire feels guilty for merely being a "monster."
There are so many layers to the story that it is difficult to explain without giving away too much. Cashore has a little something to offer for every reader — romance, mystery, suspense, humor and pain. I'm very confident that if you liked Graceling, you will want to read Fire too!
Happy Reading!
