mortage applications are paper extravaganzas, and the vast majority of what gets written on that paper never makes its way to investors. Dubinsky estimates that 2,000 to 2,500 data points are collected when you get or refinance a mortgage. Bundle that mortgage with 499 others into a mortgage-backed security and you're talking about between 1 million and 1.25 million "discrete pieces of data," as Dubinsky puts it.
What happens when that MBS is brought to market? The rating agencies get to see 16 data points. Investors get access to two.
Economics is in crisis: it is time for a profound revamp Paul De Grauve, Financial Times"...take monetary policy...both camps line up an impressive list of Nobel prize-winners to buttress their arguments.

I have never seen anything like this."
The real estate roots of the crisis in the US
The current economic crisis stems from the fact that the underpinnings of the market are either broken or rotted, and in some cases there are no underpinnings. That makes it a non-traditional crisis; what we are confronting is the direct result of inadequacies in upstream property rights. This crisis combines the original sin of badly valued properties with a financial system based on harmful, unproductive gambling and incentives to continue gambling.

Minimum Wage Hike Doubles Portion Of Workers At The Bottom
According to the New York Times:
According to the Labor Department, 5 of the 10 occupations expected to add the most jobs through 2016 are "very low paying," up to a maximum of about $22,000 a year. They include retail sales jobs and home health aides. Another 3 of the 10 are "low paying," from roughly $22,000 to $31,000, including customer-service representatives, general office clerks and nurses' aides.
Those are the careers that are left when high paying manufacturing and white collar jobs are shipped overseas.8 of 10 jobs will be low or very low paying. That means the median income will surely drop over the next decade

In an interview, he specifically cited references that include a headline and a link to an article, a standard practice of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, news aggregators and blogs.
Eric Boehlert: This is not going to end well for CBS
[W]e learned that CBS was in full panic mode and was willing to take whatever step necessary to placate the right-wing fanatics frothing about Memogate. The picture painted by the CBS memos and documents already reviewed by Rather suggest a craven news organization that was less interested in uncovering the truth about the disputed memos, and more interested in appeasing Rush Limbaugh. It wanted to "mollify the right," as one internal CBS memo put it. As I said, my guess is that with Rather and his lawyers about to dive into a new batch of documents, that portrait will only become more vivid. And here's the kicker for the former Tiffany Network: Rather has vowed to never settle the case out of court.

Hmm. Calling somebody a nazi without implying that he/she is a supporter of nazi ideology? Doesn't sound right, does it?
- Thursday, 18 May 2017 at 20:25:00 BST
I see that Alice will appeal the judgement. Will she milk the case for all the publicity she can squeeze out of it? I fancy that she will.
If you want to know what "in context" connotes, you couldn't wish for a better example than this. Mr Ehring (and his script writers) are very skilled and funny in their exposure of the hypocrisies of politicians. His publisher is the public service broadcaster NDR.
The AfD has turned into a N-word party. As for the second word, I do not accept that the word slut conveys to English speakers what Schlampe conveys to Germans.
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 07:49:00 BST
You can write the 'u' in 'slut'. We're all adults.
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 08:10:00 BST
I am not sure "slut" is the correct word here. Perhaps "bitch" would be better?
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 09:12:00 BST
Dear Max,
can you enlighten us on the meaning?
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 09:26:00 BST
I find the headline somewhat misleading.
It suggests that the Court found it admissible to call a right wing politician "Nazi slut" (the translation "Nazi bitch" fits better, btw) independent from the context. However, the Court only decided on the admissibility of said statement within a specific (satirical!) context... that is a whale of difference!
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 10:17:00 BST
Dear Mr Drei,
Your comment is telling -the emotive value of the word "slut" to a non native speaker who feels more strongly about a word in his own native language and what it coveys to him vs the English word. I can assure you that word "slut" to a native speaker is quite emotive, you cannot perceive that anymore than I can perceive what the word Schlampe coveys in German.
That is the problem with English being a mode of communication -non native speakers do not know the emotive value of the language.
I work in a conservative legal environment where my team has two native English speakers. Swearing by non native speakers in English is commonplace especially the F word and now the C word (but not interestingly by the native speakers) . I had to point out to someone that saying "he can shove it up his ar.." delivered in a nonchalant way is not quite what one says when referring to an option that we do not wish to take up unless the environment in general is one where everyone speaks like that. On another occasion, I asked a speaker whether he actually knew when he referred to a colleague's choice of sandwich bar as what " a w...k.." would choose what he thought goes on that bar.
It works the other way as well. Does the word "Gauleiter" bother you ? One sometimes hears native English and notably French speakers use that term to refer to German colleagues -I was told that that is really cruel.
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 10:46:00 BST
One really has to be watchful when adopting current street slang and jumping from one language to another. In Germany at the moment, for example, it seems to be chic to use the English word bitch. I'm not a German native speaker but every time I hear the word Schlampe, I have the feeling that its meaning is more like "sloven". You know the word slovenly? Well, for me, schlampig is like, slovenly.
Now, come on, how offensive is it to suggest that an offensively hypocritical member of a neo N-word party might be not so much a bitch but rather more of a guttersnipe, even a bit slovenly? Actionable?
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 12:38:00 BST
Schlampe is more like slag and therefore it is one degree worse than slut.. I would happily describe myself as slovenly as it is quite a twee term for messy. But not a slag
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 13:00:00 BST
There lie the perils of language. To say "du hast schlampig gearbeitet" might be valid criticism but to say "du bist eine Schlampe" would never be acceptable.
- Friday, 19 May 2017 at 13:20:00 BST
- Mirko Brüß said...
I believe to some degree, the actual meaning of the original word will always be lost in Translation. There is no scientific method to determine whether "sl*t" or "b*tch" is closer to the original German word. I chose "sl*t" because in German, "Schlampe" can have a sexual connotation. The court did consider this aspect of the word, rather than the "slovenly" meaning of the word. To my understanding, in this case "sl*t" Comes closer to the original meaning than "b*tch".
Ultimately, it does not make much of a difference, because I am quite sure the court would have allowed both words in the context at hand.

quick update: Ms. Weidel appealed to the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg, but has now withdrawn her appeal. She may still enter main proceedings, but this seems unlikely given the withdrawel.

It's time to celebrate autumn in the Poconos, and what better way than with Eastburg Community Alliance's annual October Fest and Fall Foliage Train Excursion.
It's time to celebrate autumn in the Poconos, and what better way than with Eastburg Community Alliance's annual October Fest and Fall Foliage Train Excursion.
The event has been a staple in East Stroudsburg for at least five years, and is a family-oriented festival that offers something for everyone.
"The event will be anchored in Miller Park. We will have vendors, kids' games, car show and train rides," said Sonya Cole, project director of Dansbury Depot and member of the ECA Board.
The Monroe County Car Cruisers will bring the cars.
"The train ride is by Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society. They supply the train, rather than Steamtown. He brings the train down and picks up here and drops off here," Cole said.
This year's event will offer the kids plenty to do. Children's games are sponsored by Stroud Region Open Space and Recreation.
"There's going to be a cider press, so kids and parents can make their own fresh apple cider. They can sample it after the process. It's delicious," said Josh Leap, recreation associate with Stroud Region Open Space and Recreation. "We will also do festive face painting, painting pumpkins, make your own candle, potato sack races and scarecrow building."
Art students from J.T. Lambert Intermediate School and East Stroudsburg High School South will decorate Pocono Community Theater and Ideal Design Solutions on South Courtland Street.
Scarecrow building has been a popular part of this event every year. Kids get to build a scarecrow and dress it however they like.
"Money raised from the scarecrow building goes to the Dansbury Depot. It will be a $5 donation to build a scarecrow," said Susan Randall, downtown manager. "I have a big bin of Salvation Army clothes, but you can also bring your own if you want."
There will also be live entertainment throughout the event. Pete Begley will play an instrument called the stick and singing, as well as the J.M. Hill chorus, East Stroudsburg North High School choir and Shawnee's Got Talent winners. The Flecha Latino Advocacy Group will present bilingual music.
Live karaoke will also be an option for anyone brave enough to get up there and show everyone what they've got.
Visitors can also get a look at the renovation of Dansbury Depot.
"People will get a chance to see what's going on at the depot. People are curious, so we will open it so they can take a peek," Cole said. "It's under construction, so we'll have to have some restrictions."
And educational information will be available through the East Stroudsburg Fire Department and Waste Management.
Tickets for the train ride can be purchased at the ECA office or at East Stroudsburg Hardware. Train rides are at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. and cost $19 for adults and $16 for children. Each ride is 1� hours.

Tiffen Filter Saved My Camera!
"I attached my digital SLR camera with a 55-250mm lens fitted with a Tiffen UV filter onto my tripod. After taking a few pictures, the tripod mount must have loosened because my camera began to pivot and eventually fell off the tripod, hitting the ground from a height of about 4 feet. To my amazement, the Tiffen UV filter was bent on the edging, but my camera was not damaged at all, not even the lens! Thank you Tiffen!"

Fresh Raspberry Cupcakes with Pink Buttercream
For the Cupcakes
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups cake flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
18 tablespoons (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons or 2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
6 ounces fresh raspberries, coarsely chopped
6 ounces fresh raspberries, pureed
For the Frosting
1 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 large egg whites
pinch salt
32 tablespoons (2 cups or 4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
red gel-paste food coloring
For the Chocolate Hearts
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
To prepare cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, stir together milk and vanilla.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing until well combined after each. Scrape down bowl as needed.
Add dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Pour pureed and coarsely chopped raspberries into the batter, folding just until combined.
Evenly divide the batter between 36 regular cupcake/muffin wells lined with paper liners (each should be roughly 3/4 cup full). Place into the oven and bake, rotating pans halfway though, until the centers spring back when lightly pressed or a toothpick placed into the center of a cupcake comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached, about 16 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the frosting
In a heat-safe mixing bowl, add sugar, egg whites and salt. Set bowl over a pot of simmering water (making sure water does not touch the bottom of the bowl) and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the syrup registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Remove bowl from the heat and using the whisk attachment on your mixer to beat mixture on medium speed for 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and continue to whisk until glossy, stiff peaks form, about 5 to 6 more minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add butter, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until very smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla and enough food coloring for a pink color.
Frost cupcakes with buttercream.
To prepare chocolate hearts
Place melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe enough hearts for the cupcakes you have onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place into the freezer until set, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove hearts from parchment and gently place on top of cupcakes.
Makes 36 cupcakes

Anon - Let us know when you make them!ReplyDelete
- Callie2/17/2010 09:00:00 AM
the frosting didn't work out for me =(. After 2 sticks of butter it had an overwhelming butter taste. I added powdered sugar to save it. I ran out of unsalted butter and had to use some salted. That might be why it was so straight butter tasting.ReplyDelete
Callie - How did you prepare the frosting? Did you taste it only after adding in two sticks of butter? If so, that was probably the problem - you have to beat in all of the butter and then let it beat away until it is completely combined with the meringue mixture. If you don't, you were probably just tasting the uncombined butter.ReplyDelete
- Callie2/18/2010 12:07:00 PM
I added it one Tbsp at a time, but I think the prob was with the salted butter, I'll have to try it again. Although I really liked the taste of it after adding the extra powdered sugar and may use that again. it was really good and everyone raved about the frosting =) i used it with chocolate cupcakes.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/29/2011 08:08:00 PM
I tried the recipe and was completely excited until I tried the frosting. I beat the heck out of it to combine the butter and still didn't work.ReplyDelete
i love the recipe but with the cupcakes i just got an overwhelming taste of flour... everyone else liked them though... or so they said anyway. Maybe it was just meReplyDelete

It's just about every wrestling fan's dream to get Trish Stratus alone in the ring.
But for one smitten teen, getting the former WWE seven-time women's wrestling champion alone in the ring quickly turned into a nightmare when Stratus laid a good, old-fashioned thumping on him.
Just as the script called for.
The Toronto-based Stratus was in Ottawa yesterday for a taping of Family Biz, the new Muse & Breakout Entertainment production shooting at Laurentian High School on Baseline until August.
Wearing wrestling gear that looks more like lingerie, Stratus has shrunk since her rassling days. Everything about her 36DD-24-36 inch frame is tiny except her hair, her teeth and her boobs. Small, but more than enough to beat up Eli, the teenager character played by Ephraim Ellis.
In this particular episode, the former wrestling diva got to play a famous female wrestling star. Give that casting agent a raise.
"I wasn't expecting so many stunts," Stratus pants during a break in the action "It's exciting to be in the ring again. It's fun."
Though its been almost two years since her last pro match, Stratus hasn't lost her edge, or enthusiasm for the ring.
She quit the ring to marry her fiance of 15 years Ron, and nurse her mother, who in 2006 was diagnosed with cancer, but has since been given a clean bill of health.
Stratus admits she misses the rush of pro wrestling, but insists she left at the right time.
"I went out on top as the best female champion ever," she said.
A former fitness model before she got into the WWE, Stratus opened her own yoga studio "Stratusphere" north of Toronto.
She'll also finish taping her new television series also called Stratusphere, which premieres on the Travel & Escape network in September.
"My life is just as frantically based as it was when I was wrestling. The difference is that now, I'm not in the back seat, I'm driving."

MACON, Ga. (Jan. 8, 2010) - The ETSU women's basketball team looks to close out its season-long five-game road swing on a high note on Saturday afternoon when the Lady Bucs take on Mercer. Tip is set for 1 p.m. inside the University Center.
ETSU (5-7, 3-1) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 90-59 win at Kennesaw State on Thursday afternoon. Junior Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) made the most of her first Lady Buccaneer start, as the point guard finished with a game-high 21 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds in only 25 minutes of work.
The Lady Bucs began this difficult road trip with three straight losses to No. 16 Vanderbilt, No. 7 North Carolina and conference foe USC Upstate. However, closing the trip out with a win against their conference rival will keep the Lady Bucs one-game back of league leading Florida Gulf Coast.
A year ago Mercer ruined the Lady Bucs' chances of at least clinching a share of the regular season A-Sun title, as the Bears defeated ETSU twice. Fortunately, for the Lady Bucs, they got the last laugh, with ETSU knocking Mercer out of the conference semifinals in Nashville. ETSU shot 54 percent from the floor in that tournament game - with four players scoring in double figures - including TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) leading the way with 22 points, five rebounds and four assists in the 82-60 victory back on March 6.
Meanwhile, Mercer (7-7, 4-1) is coming off a 64-52 victory over Campbell on Thursday afternoon in Macon. Sophomore Lacy Ramon recorded her first career double-double in the 12-point win, as the post player finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds. In addition, Courtney Ford, who ranks second behind Wiles (20.7ppg) in scoring, ended with a team-high 17 points.
As a team, Mercer is averaging 68.4 points per game in five conference games, while allowing 60 points to the opposition. The Bears' lone league loss was a 72-57 setback at Jacksonville last weekend.
Fans unable to make the trip to Georgia can listen to all the action live, as "Voice of the Bucs" Jay Sandos will handle the play-by-play duties. Fans in Johnson City should tune into WKPT-AM (1590), WOPI-AM (1490) in Bristol, WKPT-AM (1400) in Kingsport. In addition, 94.3-FM in Kingsport, 97.9-FM in Bristol, and 97.7-FM in Johnson City will carry the game. Live video streaming is also available through ASun.TV and live stats will be offered through Mercer athletics.

NEW YORK (August 30, 2010) – The campaign for the United States to be selected as host of the FIFA World CupTM in 2018 or 2022 will move to the next phase for the USA Bid Committee when the FIFA Inspection Delegation visits the U.S. next week, Monday, Sept. 6, to Thursday, Sept. 9.

Laurelhurst is an enchanting southeast neighborhood just a short commute from downtown Portland. Originally intended to be a high-class residence, only single-family detached homes were allowed. No apartments or commercial buildings of any sort were could be built within its boundaries. Visitors are welcomed by stone arches, built in 1910, at the entrance of this historic neighborhood. The Kerns, Hollywood, Mt. Tabor and Sunnyside neighborhoods surround the area.
Laurelhurst is populated with magnificent old growth trees and immaculately tended gardens on gently curving streets. People are drawn to the area for its urban amenities, great schools and beautiful homes offering a modern lifestyle in a classic and historic setting.
Homes come in all shapes and sizes, from a beautiful 1,800 square foot bungalow to a large 12,000 square foot Mediterranean mansion overlooking Laurelhurst Park. True to the unique Laurelhurst style, these two contrasting homes could be right across the street from each other. Other styles include foursquare, arts and crafts cottages and modern construction.
The original plan from 1909 contained a provision that forbade any business from operating within the boundaries of the neighborhood and has been strictly enforced over the decades. So technically speaking there are no businesses in residential Laurelhurst. But a vibrant and exciting business community has developed in very close proximity.
The neighborhood's commercial district boasts gourmet food stores and bakeries, restaurants, urban boutiques and coffee shops. Movie lovers congregate at the historic Laurelhurst Theater established in 1923. One of the first art deco style theaters of its period, the theater's four screens show modern, independent, art and classic films, while serving an assortment of handcrafted beers. Laurelhurst is also adjacent to Lloyd Center, Oregon's largest shopping mall.
Covering over 26 acres, the breathtaking Laurelhurst Park's expansive green space and aromatic evergreen trees are a welcome distraction from the fast-paced city life. The design was inspired by New York City's Central Park, and offers a variety of amenities including a duck pond, picnic areas, walking trails and a community center. In February 2001, the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the first city park ever listed.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

My street is native Puerto Rican above snore ...

To the world wants to seek its own,

Pelias by strapping for chabos for drugs,
And they say it with pride,
You nailed the dame,
They kill you back, (Come on!)
This is a jungle, (Chyno Ny!)
Nobody saves you ... (Yo!)
Many aspire to bring this kind of life,
Here the options do not change and poverty obliges me,
We do not tolerate Listeria,
If you cops in the mouth if you are an eater in the stomach,

Calm jaw chattering,

I'm already tired of hearing the stories of Bichot, fekas,
From time and equipment down kilos of butter in my suitcase,
A microphone inside the cable Huddy,
And the guy shooting half to Tecate in the Churil,
Loco, people believe that they are current and breeding,
They assemble fifteen pa rob a bakery,
Click battery and go without the dyes in the Kia,
For those insecterias strip the day left ...
In the neighborhood we all know as the smoke bat
There are many underground for making blunders,
You put your number or you pa start rowing,
This is PR, you know how we do ... (The Plus 40!)
I'm putting my mouth is burning your name on record,
And until I saw you coming out with pal filled vest
He trembles when in the neighborhood sound wolves
You gave him as many as twelve, but you looked into my eyes?
Oyeme these people if trili and make me laugh,
Looking for life but will be ash necklaces,
Or will align or ghosts in the breeze,
Temperature, if Yankee's clothes as pieces ...
You know you're street, (Daddy Yankee is not a singer ...)
There cria y corazon, (Daddy Yankee is the movement!)
Feel the fire,
The rules of the game I put them ... (Ladies and gentlemen!)
We are the street (He appreciates the support the head ...)
There cria y corazon, (closing with a flourish!)
Feel the fire,
The rules of the game I put them ... (Breaking the rules!)
Hey guns chamako if not so crowded,
They eat alive anyone who will climb the chops,
Spreading fear with your madness,
But do not respect you, Daddy, and the tall fucker,
You passed the limit,
A toad can not pee in the land of princes,
In war you were involved,
You put him much voltage to the index finger ...
Now your head is by auction,
They are offering cash, kilos and notebooks, Baby Rasta,
Chest as hot pal rum Ñejo,
Or die like a brave man or live like a jerk,
Just as this thing my neighbors
Rather easy as you have lunch with Chinese rice Peeper,
You fly the eyebrows, the movie's live Guelo,
Hail To Fire Arcangel De La Ghetto ...
We dictate,
The rules street
From 80 to infinity,
Puerto Rico,
The creators of urban movement ...
Talento de Barrio!
Once again!
The Boss!

The U.S. commercial real estate market is gradually "recovering from the recovery" and will "gain momentum" in 2014, according to ULI CEO Patrick L. Phillips.
Wayne Gretzky, arguably the greatest hockey player ever, once said, "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." Wouldn't it be grand if AEC firms could apply the Great One's predictive skill to the real estate market? Then you'd know exactly where to deploy your resources, human and financial.
Thanks to the Urban Land Institute's "Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2014," you have some hope of scoring like the Great One (and, I promise, this will be my one and only sports analogy of 2013). At the recent ULI national conference, in Chicago, ULI staff and experts from the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers decoded the institute's annual survey of more than 1,000 individuals from investment and real estate service firms, banks, REITs, residential land development companies, and institutional/equity investors.
The good news, according to ULI CEO Patrick L. Phillips, is that the U.S. commercial real estate market is gradually "recovering from the recovery" and will "gain momentum" in 2014. As stated in the 94-page report, "The market has progressed further through the economic and real estate cycles," and there is "real evidence" of momentum in the marketplace. Hallelujah!
According to Stephen R. Blank, Senior Resident Fellow at ULI, "Fundamentals are strengthening across all property groups." The average property score went up from 5.6 (out of 9) last year to 5.8, and private direct real estate investments had the highest score of all, 6.43.
The biggest shocker: Industrial/distribution real estate prospects surpassed multifamily development in respondents' eyes. "It's mostly warehouse, to meet next-day demand for online retail," said PwC Director Andrew Warren, a co-author of the report, As for multifamily, ULI's Blank said the market expressed some concern "due to possibly too much [apartment] construction" taking place.
For 2014, the strongest investment prospects among commercial property types (on a scale of 9) look like industrial/distribution (6.45), hotels (6.23), and apartments (6.14). Office buildings (5.76) and retail (5.72) managed to stay in the "fair" range as investment prospects among U.S. respondents to the survey, although central city offices got a respectable 6.08 score.
In geographic terms, San Francisco, New York, and Boston remain developer favorites, while several cities that were in the dumps—Atlanta, Miami, and can-you-believe-it Las Vegas—are showing solid prospects for the year ahead, along with Orange County and San Jose, Calif., two regions that were hit hard by the housing bubble.
"For these markets, it's the homebuilding sector that's driving them [upward]," said PwC's Warren.
One "strong player" that has slipped dramatically: Washington, D.C., which dropped to 22nd place in ULI's list of U.S. real estate markets to watch. "It's a kind of guilt by association," said Phillips. The decline in office absorption in the District may reflect what Warren called "federal fatigue," which is having a dampening effect on private-sector real estate investment in D.C.
Two (or, more accurately, three) other cities to watch: Portland, Ore., and Minneapolis/St. Paul. The Twin Cities were "a little bit of a surprise," said Warren, but they've become attractive to recent college grads who want to stay in the Midwest.
Also worth a second look for real estate development opportunities: Charlotte, Denver, Los Angeles, Nashville, Raleigh, and Salt Lake City.
But uncertainty over unemployment and government fiscal policy, China's moderating growth, and economic troubles in the Eurozone will weigh heavily on U.S. real estate investors in 2014.

Reviewed by Michael R. (age 10)
Journey is a fun and exciting book. I like this book because it is a short book that's easy to read and it has good descriptions. My favorite part of the book is when Journey and her sister, Cat, piece together one of the torn pictures. That reminds me of my Uncle Vincent trying to piece together an embarrasing picture of my big sister. My favorite character is Journey's grandfather because he feels bad that her mom tore up all the pictures. To make up for it, he takes his camera everywhere and takes pictures of everything. I thought that was pretty funny.
I like this book because it has a lot of description. I would recommend Journey to someone who likes adventure. If you like action and adventure you will love this book, or if you just like reading a good and interesting book, this is the one for you.

koichi needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 48 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
TextFugu (by Tofugu.com)
My name is Koichi - I'm one of the top Japan-bloggers on the net, and I'm looking to expand into the Japanese language market. I am writing a high-end online TextBook to be sold via my blog (100,000+ pageviews monthly), YouTube (15,000+ subscribers), adwords, and other J-blogger websites.
My target audience is for people who would like to learn Japanese. TextFugu will be a higher end product ($99+) and target language learning software like Rosetta Stone with better content, more flexibility, and more focus on the "how" and "why" of learning Japanese.
Logo image / icon:
-The name of the product is "TextFugu," so it should have something to do with Fugu (blowfish).
- 500x500 pixels if not vector-based
- Needs to be fun + professional, since I'll be selling this to companies / schools as well as individuals.
Image Text:
- Along with the logo, you should include text to go with it. The text should be "TextFugu."
- If you can, please make a version that also has the sub header "By Tofugu.com" in it.
- Please be able to provide the original file formats (PSD, AI, whatever) with all the layers in tact (I want to be able to make changes if I want to!)
- Use your creativity to come up with something great!
You can view the original branding at http://textfugu.com, but PLEASE DO NOT work off of this, or the website layout constraints. These will most likely be changed, and should not be used as a reference point!

Zillow: Denver home values increase in May, outpaces national average
Denver home values increased 2.8 percent to $209,700 in May compared with the same month a year ago, according to the latest report by real estate website Zillow.com.
Denver saw the third largest bump in home values across the country behind Phoenix and Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Nationally, home values fell nearly 1 percent to $148,100, the smallest year-over-year decline since October 2007. Compared with April, national values in May rose 0.5 percent, according to the May Zillow Real Estate Market Reports.
"It is promising to see consecutive months of national home value increases, especially during a period in which we'd expected more downward pressure due to foreclosures," said Zillow chief economist Stan Humphries. "Attention has now shifted to the tug-of-war situation with inventory, where buyers want to buy but sellers don't want to – or can't – sell." Read more…

Female hitchhikers in popular culture are often portrayed showing a little leg in order to attract a ride, but a new French study shows this is the wrong approach and gives new meaning to those "Nevada or Bust" signs.
Psychologist Nicolas Guéguen placed a woman on the side of the road with A-cup breasts and had his team of researchers hide in the bushes to count how many men and woman attempt to pick her up. They then tried the experiment twice more with B-cup and C-cup latex "augmentations." The results were as expected.
Men picked up the woman with C-cup 24% of the time, compared to just 18% for B-cup breasts and 15% for A-cup breasts. There was no correlation between cup size and whether or not a woman would pick up the female hitchhiker, though women on the whole were more unlikely to pick up a woman hitchhiker.
It's worth noting this was done on the French standard for breasts, with size B being "average" and size C being "above average." Adjust for your region.

Plants vs. Zombies Yahtzee
The Zombies are coming...
- It's Plants vs. Zombies vs. Yahtzee
- Six custom dice included
- And a collectible Conehead Zombie dice shaker
Crazy Dave has done it again. This time, he went fooling with a super computer in the form of a hyper-intelligent coffee maker, and the results are... fun! Somehow, his coffee maker (named Chelsey) was able to transform Crazy Dave and some of the plants into dice - and make many copies of them. So, we added some extra zombie parts to them, and now you can have a fun Plants vs. Zombies Yahtzee set of your very own.
Yup, it's the Yahtzee you know from years of playing, now spruced up with 100% more Plants vs. Zombies. From the Conehead Zombie dice cup to the deco on the dice themselves, Plants vs. Zombies Yahtzee is a fun take on the classic game. Roll five Crazy Daves and you can yell out, "Yahtzee!" Just make sure you're actually playing Plants vs. Zombies Yahtzee when you tell; otherwise, people will think you are crazier than Dave!

Fashion Twins
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were in Toronto earlier this week promoting Elizabeth & James at Holt Renfrew and then an interview at MuchMusic for MOD.
A word first on Elizabeth & James. I own one item. A dress. Click here to see. And no, it wasn't cheap. But it fits beautifully. Quality material, great finishing, the clothes are stylish and comfortable and well made. Not your average substandard celebrity line.
There's a "Thames Vest" from the Fall 2009 collection I have my eye on next. Hot with jeans.
Having said that, am not convinced the MuchMusic audience is the clientele. But these are kids who grew up idolising them. They are keeping them connected.
As for how they looked – needless to say, a large majority of you will not be feeling MK's lipstick. I agree. Prefer the softness of Ashley's face.
But they both "seem" relatively healthy, non? Especially where MK is concerned? To me she doesn't look as hungry as she used to. Excellent.

Breast ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to look at the inside of your breasts. It can help your healthcare provider find breast problems. It also lets your healthcare provider see how well blood is flowing to areas in your breasts. This test is often used when a change has been seen on a mammogram or when a change is felt, but does not show up on a mammogram.
The healthcare provider moves a wand-like device called a transducer over your skin to make the images of your breasts. The transducer sends out sound waves that bounce off your breast tissue. The sound waves are too high-pitched for you to hear. The transducer then picks up the bounced sound waves. These are made into pictures of the inside of your breasts.
Your healthcare provider can add another device called a Doppler probe to the transducer. This probe lets your healthcare provider hear the sound waves the transducer sends out. He or she can hear how fast blood is flowing through a blood vessel and in which direction it is flowing. No sound or a faint sound may mean that you have a blockage in the flow.
Ultrasound is safe to have during pregnancy because it does not use radiation. It is also safe for people who are allergic to contrast dye because it does not use dye.
A breast ultrasound is most often done to find out if a problem found by a mammogram or physical exam of the breast may be a cyst filled with fluid or a solid tumor.
Breast ultrasound is not usually done to screen for breast cancer. This is because it may miss some early signs of cancer. An example of early signs that may not show up on ultrasound are tiny calcium deposits called microcalcifications.
Ultrasound may be used if you:
Your healthcare provider may also use ultrasound to look at nearby lymph nodes, help guide a needle during a biopsy, or to remove fluid from a cyst.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a breast ultrasound.
A breast ultrasound has no risk from radiation. It poses no risk to pregnant women.
Breast ultrasound may miss small lumps or solid tumors that are commonly found with mammography. Being obese or having very large breasts may make the ultrasound less accurate.
You may have risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about any concerns you have before the procedure.
You may have a breast ultrasound as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, breast ultrasound follows this process:
You do not need any special care after a breast ultrasound. Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

The selection of around fifty works from the Louvre's rich collection of drawings by Giulio Romano provides an overview of the artist's career and gives us a sense of his qualities as an extraordinary draftsman.
A student of Raphael, Giulio Romano, whose original name was Giulio Pippi (Rome, 1492 or 1499 – Mantua, 1546), painter, architect and daring draftsman, surprises by the vigor of his inventions. According to Giorgio Vasari (1568), drawing was truly where his ideas reached absolute perfection.
Some of the drawings on display are from his Roman period at Raphael's workshop (from 1516), while others are from the projects that the master had left unfinished upon his death in 1520 and that Giulio Romano then completed with Gianfrancesco Penni until 1524. That is when he yielded to the pleadings and promises of Count Baldassarre Castiglione, delegated by Marquis Federico II Gonzaga in Rome, and accepted his invitation to work for the Court of Mantua. There, far from Rome, in an environment that fueled his passion for the ancient style, his creativity knew no bounds. This is shown in the many drawings of the exhibition meant for the decors of the sumptuous residences of the Gonzaga family, particularly the Palazzo Te, the pleasure palace of Federico II, which Giulio Romano bestowed with all the splendor of a suburban villa in Rome.

Which of the choices implements a function named plch_avg that calculates the average of all elements in a collection of the above type so that the following block displays "3.5" after execution?
We compared the TABLE operator approach to algorithms one might write themselves to compute the average. One of these, marked as correct, is:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION plch_avg (numbers_in IN plch_numbers_t) RETURN NUMBER IS l_index PLS_INTEGER := numbers_in.FIRST; l_average NUMBER := 0; BEGIN WHILE l_index IS NOT NULL LOOP l_average := l_average + numbers_in (l_index)/numbers_in.count; l_index := numbers_in.NEXT (l_index); END LOOP; RETURN l_average; END;Several players objected and believe that this choice should be marked as incorrect, since it will not always produce the expected result. For example, if I pass a nested table of 9 rows (values 1 through 9), this function returns:
5.00000000000000000000000000000000000001This is certainly true, and if we asked you to identify algorithms that would work under all circumstances, we would be wrong to mark this as correct. We would also be wrong to mark choice 8476 as correct, since an empty collection would cause the function to fail with a divide-by-zero exception.
But we asked you to identify choices so that the following block displays "3.5". It certainly does that, and so we believe that this choice should be scored as correct.
Your thoughts?
