What Cloud Technology Means for Business - Insights from Chicago
Feb 22, 2013, 11:01 ET
CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 26, 2013 the Technology Committee of The Executives' Club will host a program on Leveraging Cloud Technology to Drive Business Value, at the IIT Stuart School of Business. Speakers include Tom Clewett, Chief Technology Officer at Exelon, Ken Corless, Executive Director of Business Applications at Accenture; Tony West, VP/CTO, Research & University Relations at Cisco Systems, Jim Ditmore, Senior Vice President Infrastructure Services and Innovation at Allstate with moderator John Tolva, Chief Technology Officer for the City of Chicago.
Cloud computing is currently a major focus for enterprises. The global market is expected to grow from $40 billion in 2011 to more than $241 billion by 2020 with $100 billion spent worldwide on cloud services in 2012 alone. Speakers will share their insights on ways to leverage the cloud including cost reduction, scalability, data virtualization and mobility.
Along with its many benefits, cloud computing creates a number of challenges. "CDW's customer experience and research suggests that organizations' adoption of cloud computing has grown steadily alongside increased worker mobility and the consumerization of IT," said Stephen Braat, general manager, cloud solutions at event sponsor CDW. "Shifting IT capabilities to the cloud while keeping them integrated or coordinated with legacy systems can be technically and organizationally challenging."
Understanding how technology impacts the business is an important part of Chicago's workforce development. "As more and more businesses look to the cloud for a strategic advantage in today's economy, at IIT Stuart, we are giving tomorrow's business leaders the skills to evaluate that technology. Our students learn how to leverage technology and other items of leadership to bring a strategically competitive edge to the workplace", said Harvey Kahalas, PhD, Dean and Harold L. Stuart Professor of Management and Economic Development at IIT Stuart School of Business.
Sponsors for this program include Accenture, CDW and Cisco at the Gold Level and Baker & McKenzie at the Silver Level.

Sorry in advance if this a topic that has been beat to death, but in searching around I haven't found many conclusive arguments, and worse both mods update so frequently the features seem to change quickly and a lot of the information I found was months old and I'm not sure if its even valid anymore.

Motorhead's Lemmy Says He's OK Healthwise, But Mikkey Dee Urges Him to 'Take Care of Yourself'
The release of a new album is always a time of excitement for a band's fans. In Motorhead's case, that's especially true with their latest effort 'Aftershock,' because of Lemmy Kilmister's health issues. Fans are happy not just because the album's release is imminent (Oct. 22), but also because the legendary frontman is still ticking after taking a licking this year.
In a new interview with Classic Rock magazine, Lemmy downplays the health scares, which included canceled European concerts, cutting their Wacken set short and heart problems. "It was nothing; I'm over it," Lemmy says.
His bandmates are bit more concerned. Drummer Mikkey Dee told Classic Rock, "I think after all he's been through, I'd say this: 'Lem, when are you going to get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? It's time you started to take care of yourself.'"
But like all rebellious rockers, Lemmy says he doesn't like people telling him what to do, even if they might be right. And he leaves no doubt he'll be back on stage soon. "I can still stand at that mic every night and play my songs," he declares. "I'm getting better. By the time the tour comes around I'll be ready."
Motorhead's next tour is less than a month away. They'll embark on a European trek beginning Nov. 7 in Zurich, and wrapping it up Dec. 10 in Helsinki.
If you want to hear a new song from 'Aftershock,' you're in luck. Loudwire has the exclusive premiere of the track 'Queen of the Damned.' Click below to listen:

Welcome to compromise, Obama campaign style:
Obama's top political adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday that the administration was unwilling to break up the president's $447 billion jobs plan if Republicans were only receptive to passing certain elements. "We're not in a negotiation to break up the package. It's not an a la carte menu. It's a strategy to get this country moving," Axelrod said Tuesday on ABC's Good Morning America. "The president has a package; the package works together. We need to do many things to get this economy moving," Axelrod said.
Hey David, no negotiation? President Obama does not pass legislation. Passing legislation is reserved to Congress. Congress has two chambers, the House and Senate. The Senate is divided, with the Democrats having a slight majority, but as a chamber it gives plenty of power to the minority to not be steamrolled as a matter of check and balance upon the majority. The House is overwhelmingly in control of the Republicans, and may after today be even a little more so given the special elections. The American people voted for this situation in terms of balance of power. So, if you do not want to compromise, then you will get nothing and deservedly so. Work on the areas you have common ground. If you are unwilling and unable to do so, there is no reason for the Republicans to give you an inch. They were voted in, in record numbers last fall to hamper your full tilt to the radical left. Most of your rhetoric was just bits of red meat thrown out to incite your base. You propose funneling even more money to your crony Union special interest groups after the first massive funnel of taxpayers' money to them failed to get the economy moving (which we entirely predictable). But why should anyone in the country outside of those you seek to buy votes from back your plan? We see through your transparent corruption as pathetic attempts to purchase favor just enough to win reelection. And we see that you are willing to spend almost unlimited amounts of other people's money to make sure you keep an iron fist on power. Sorry, most of us aren't buying it any more. We don't want your leftist collectivist authoritarianism.
Intelligent people know the stimulus is a disaster. Son of stimulus will fail as did the mother of all stimuli which promised to hold unemployment at 8%. Unemployment is now 9.1% and 2.3 million jobs have been lost since the Obama Democrat trillion dollar stimulus plan was enacted. In fact 3 mil jobs have been lost since Obama took over the White House. The democrats have brought misery, despair and hopelessness to Americans.

Now, read the interview. When you're finished, click on 'comments' at the bottom and you will be taken to my party room where the natural laws of time and space do not apply. Watch your step though. The mummies don't get out much, so they're a little rowdy.
I emailed some questions to Michelle and she was kind enough to send these answers back:
inspired you?
The inspiration to write Nefertiti inadvertently happened while I was on an archaeological dig in Israel. During my sophomore year in college, I found myself sitting in Anthropology 101, and when the professor mentioned that she was looking for volunteers who would like to join a dig in Israel, I was one of the first students to sign up. When I got to Israel, however, all of my archaeological dreams were dashed (probably because they centered around Indiana Jones). There were no fedora wearing men, no cities carved into rock, and certainly no Ark of the Covenant. I was very disappointed. Not only would a fedora have seemed out of place, but I couldn't even use the tiny brushes I had packed. Apparently, archaeology is more about digging big ditches with pickaxes rather than dusting off artifacts. And it had never occurred to me until then that in order to get to those artifacts, one had to dig deep into the earth. Volunteering on an archaeological dig was hot, it was sweaty, it was incredibly dirty, and when I look back on the experience through the rose-tinged glasses of time, I think, Wow, was it fantastic! Especially when our team discovered an Egyptian scarab that proved the ancient Israelites had once traded with the Egyptians. Looking at that scarab in the dirt, I began to wonder who had owned it, and what had possessed them to undertake the long journey from their homeland to the fledgling country of Israel.
On my flight back to America I stopped in Berlin, and with a newfound appreciation for Egyptology, I visited the museum where Nefertiti's limestone bust was being housed. The graceful curve of Nefertiti's neck, her arched brows, and the faintest hint of a smile were captivating to me. Who was this woman with her self-possessed gaze and stunning features? I wanted to know more about Nefertiti's story, but when I began the research into her life, it proved incredibly difficult. She'd been a woman who'd inspired powerful emotions when she lived over three thousand years ago, and those who had despised her had attempted to erase her name from history. Yet even in the face of such ancient vengeance, some clues remained.
As a young girl Nefertiti had married a Pharaoh who was determined to erase the gods of Egypt and replace them with a sun-god he called Aten. It seemed that Nefertiti's family allowed her to marry this impetuous king in the hopes that she would tame his wild ambitions. What happened instead, however, was that Nefertiti joined him in building his own capital of Amarna where they ruled together as god and goddess. But the alluring Nefertiti had a sister who seemed to keep her grounded, and in an image of her found in Amarna, the sister is standing off to one side, her arms down while everyone else is enthusiastically praising the royal couple. From this image, and a wealth of other evidence, I tried to recreate the epic life of an Egyptian queen whose husband was to become known as the Heretic King.
Writing the novel took years of research. I wanted to be sure that when I wrote Nefertiti I was extremely accurate, down to the color of the palace tiles and shape of the women's beads. At the same time, however, I wanted to be careful not to weigh the story down in too much detail. There needed to be the same sense of urgency, danger, and passion as filled Nefertiti's world.
2) Some of our guests are writers. Can you share your process for
taking a story from rough draft to submission-ready manuscript? What's your
best advice on how they can improve the craft of writing to meet publication
Nefertiti isn't my first novel. In fact, it's not even my second. The process of submitting a manuscript, finding an agent, then reaching publication didn't happen overnight for me. Actually, it took fifteen years. My first attempt at getting published was in seventh grade, when I was twelve. I had written a full length book that was certainly pathetic but everyone praised it and my father hailed it as the next Great American Novel. My father was very good at ego-boosting. But no one knew how to go about getting published, so I went to my local Barnes and Nobles and asked them how. And instead of laughing, the bookseller took me to the writing section and I purchased the current edition of Writer's Market. From then on, no agent or publishing house was safe. I learned how to write query letters and regaled them all. And some of them sent personal letters back too, probably because I had included my age in the query letter and they either thought a) this kid has potential or b) this is sad and deserves at least a kind note.
Then, after going on an archaeological dig in my second year of college, I changed my genre from literary to historical fiction and found my calling. That summer I wrote a novel called Jezebel, and signed on with a prominent agent. His foreign rights department sold it successfully to Bertelsmann in Germany, and I had my first publishing credit with the company that owns Random House. But my agent in NY had a difficult time selling the novel, and when it was clear that he had done what he could for Jezebel and that there would be no sale in the US, I saw the writing on the wall. I would have to write another book.
So I began my research, and over the next few years I came to a slow and eye-opening realization. No mater how many times or how nicely I wrote, my agent never answered my emails. Even after I had finished the book on the subject that he'd suggested, he never took my phone calls. Did this mean I didn't have an agent? Had I been dumped because Jezebel hadn't sold? Did agents do that without telling their clients? Apparently, he did, and apparently, some do. So I took the high road and wrote a letter thanking him for what he had done for me (he did get my foot in the door), and I asked to be released from our contract. I sent the letter by certified mail and promptly never heard from him again.
But publishing isn't personal, and neither is rejection, so I began sending query letters out the next month, mentioning that my agent and I had recently parted ways and that I was searching for new representation. It was a matter of weeks before I had a new agent, the wonderful Anna Ghosh at Scovil Chichak Galen, and she took on the task of submitting the novel that my precious agent had suggested I write. But my heart hadn't been in the book. It was set in the 20th century, and my specialty – what I studied in college and what I've since become an amateur historian on – is ancient Egypt and the Middle Ages. We had quite a few near misses with the novel, where editors wanted to purchase the book but were told no by the acquisitions committee, since all sales have to be approved by a committee. After Anna sent the novel to all the major houses, I began to panic that I'd be dropped as a client for a second time, and that is when I started Nefertiti, a project I was extremely passionate about. Anna waited for two years while I wrote the book, and eventually she sold the book and its stand-alone sequel for six-figures to Crown. After that, her foreign rights agent Danny Baror (who happened to be the same foreign rights agent who sold Jezebel) sold Nefertiti and The Heretic Queen to more than fifteen countries.
I do believe there is a moral to this story, which is to be persistent and not to be afraid of starting a new project. I have thirteen books that I've written, and just because they're not published doesn't mean I didn't learn from them, or that I can't publish them in the future (although I probably won't). I think what aspiring writers need to understand is that if something isn't right for the current market, that doesn't mean they should simply give up. With each book you'll get better as a writer, and eventually you will strike gold!
3) What experience do you hope readers will take away from reading
I hope that readers will come away having felt as if they'd spent time in the ancient Egypt of 1350 BC. Nefertiti was the step-mother of Tut, the wife of the Heretic King Akhenaten, and a precursor to Ramesses the Great. She lived during a time of great wealth and power for Egyptian Pharaohs, and I believe that her story is one of the most fascinating ever to have come out of Egypt.
4) Can you tell us a little bit about your next novel? What's the
title? When is it due out?
Currently, I'm finishing the stand-alone sequel to Nefertiti. It will be in bookstores July 2008 and will probably be titled The Heretic Queen. It follows the destiny of Mutny's daughter, Nefertari, and traces her transformation from a wild palace child to the strikingly beautiful and intelligent queen of Ramesses II.

Hurricane Sandy is being held responsible for reducing U.S. retail sales in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region by about $4 billion last week, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse.
According to the report, the region, which accounts for about 24% of retail sales nationwide, typically generates $18.7 billion in sales for that particular week ended Saturday, the Associated Press reported. But revenue came in at about $15 billion. (The figures exclude auto sales.)
"This was a significant negative event for the region," said Michael McNamara, VP of research and analysis for SpendingPulse, which monitors all types of spending across retail.

After the Nation's Cold Snap, Boat Owners Should Check the Boat
Download hi-res photo.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 9, 2014 -- With temperatures now rising after record lows across much of the nation, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) says now may be a good time to check on your boat in winter storage, and has these five tips to ensure old man winter is kept at bay:
1. How low can she go? If your boat is stored in the water over the winter, are all of the above-water thru-hulls still well above the waterline? The weight of snow and ice can submerge above-waterline thru-hulls, including the exhaust (inboard boats), so start shoveling if you notice she's sitting lower in the water — plastic shovels and brooms are best. It's also a good time to check on your bubbler system.
2. Call me shifty: For boats stored on trailers, jackstands or cradles, ensure the boat hasn't shifted. Boats on stands/cradles should be level, while those on trailers should be slightly bow up. Boats over 26 feet should have at least three jackstands per side, with plywood under each if the boat is on dirt or gravel — check to see they haven't moved and are chained together to prevent them from being pushed away from the boat. You know the stands are in the right place when there is no hull deformation at the point of contact. If you see any problems with a jackstand, don't try to adjust it yourself; contact marina staff.
3. Blowin' in the wind: It's never a good idea to store a boat outside without a cover, and never tie a tarp to a jackstand as strong winds can get underneath the cover and yank the stand out. Tying off a tarp to trailer framing is acceptable. Also, a poorly fitted cover can sag, allowing huge amounts of water to pool, freeze and add substantial weight, so be sure they remain taut to allow snow and rain to easily slide off.
4. Nothing good comes from water in the bilge: Water or ice in the bilge means a leak. Try to find the source of the water during your walk-through and look for a temporary fix to plug the leak that will buy you time until the spring. Rock salt and nontoxic antifreeze may help you break up and remove any ice in the bilge, then dry it completely. If that's impossible, or the leaks aren't patched, add a few cups of nontoxic antifreeze.
5. A word for the wise on inside boat storage: If the boat is inside a heated storage building, it's always a good idea to winterize the boat in the fall as the BoatUS Boat Insurance Program receives freeze-related damage claims each year after winter storms have knocked out power, allowing inside temperatures to plummet. However, at this time of year, the only thing you can do is to keep in contact with your storage facility to advise you the moment of any power loss and give you the chance to inspect the boat.

... I ... good afternoon and welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... a federal judge ruled Wednesday that Apple colluded with publishers ... to raise the price of its e books makes for very splashy headlines but ... is the ruling relate to the right one Wall Street Journal Editorial board member Joe rego joins me now joke ... Apple's set prices for its e books ... well this is the perverse thing about the case Mary which is that prices than e books have fallen since Apple introduced the I pad I came in two thousand and thirteen to the market has more competition ... more consumer choice more innovation ... in you've got the Justice Department and now this judge federal judge Judge Denise Cote coming in and saying whoa ... actually what and pursue an anti ... violation against you it's it's really ... quite quite and say well it seems to be a pattern with this Justice Department they they broke up at the telecom deal ETP Deutsche Telekom said T Mobile to ... I didn't that is why bring the case was the excuse that Limited ... Telefónica when ... Steve Jobs was preparing to introduce the I pad he wanted to open in iBookstore to challenge Amazon scandal ... I and the book industry at that point were somewhat of a wholesale model where the ... the publishers would sell a book to any kind of retailer ... and the retailer which would set their own price and when Amazon was doing was ... buying e books that'll it and selling them for nine ninety nine ... at a loss ... so this was essentially a loss leader for their own device and what jobs Hermès pursued with the publishers with he said ... you can sell your book for any price you want on the I pad ... of The will take a fixed thirty percent commission this is just this is much like ... how iTunes works for for the music business ... and if the Justice Department's case ... was essentially ... by disrupting what was a croissant monopoly with ... Amazon selling nine out of every ten e books ... on the key is that ... it's actually Apple gave ... and the publishers school or a platform to challenge ... of what is what was sort of the polka equivalent of standard oil ... and and therefore ... are harmed competition by competing makes absolutely no sense okay so why then because there were several publishers are receiving including we should say Harper Collins registrar interviews court Artemis News Corporation case settled ... out why is only Apple iTunes ... look the Justice Department ... essentially the retina publishers with financial ruin you know was planning on pursuing damages of more well in excess of any kind of ... on the profits that the book industry which as you know is struggling ... I can make and is there so there's there's two reasons one is that ... Apple is rich enough to fight these absurd claims and on the onthe other hand ... there's this really a new theory of antitrust ... liability that from the commission model ... has been held by the courts for years ... I it's it's standard in all kinds of industries and the Justice Department wants to make it work on ... her say a per se violation of antitrust law when apparently legal ... us in this case has all kinds of implications for all sorts of other industries ... I'm it's it's really a damaging theory of of ... of liability that I think the the second circuit with the Supreme Court is going over time I'm glad theres that Brodeur bookcases got a lesson and laughed ... so effectively what justice is saying is you can't negotiate prices ... with your sellers prior to offering it to him to to to to to consumer e I'd to translate directly it would be very difficult for for any kind of challenger to enter a market that is dominated by incumbent under this theory ... more perverse will ... make the case is that of the Justice Department so glad they're taking our taxpayer money ... but to pursue this while Street Journal Editorial board member Joe rego defenseman for

Missouri Home Buying and Escrow Process
- Missouri's homebuying process is similar to other states where a settlement agent or closing agent (who is usually an attorney or representative from a title company) is used to consummate the transaction and prepare all the closing documents.
- In Missouri, buyer and seller often consummate the transaction at the same closing (or 'settlement') table.
- Missouri has its own environmental features that influence which inspections get performed, such as termite inspections (a.k.a. wood destroying insect infestation inspections).
Step by Step
Part 1: Disclosures, inspections, and title
These are the initial tasks once a buyer is in contract, and are most often done in parallel to Part 2: The mortgage process:
- An offer is accepted by the seller and a contract is signed, marking the 'effective date.'
- Concurrently, a deposit, or earnest money, is paid to an escrow agent, an attorney, or broker (never to the seller directly).
- The signed contract is sent to a title company or attorney or to begin the title search and all work related to transferring and changing the title to the new owners and preparing the title commitment. Tip: the earlier a title search is done, the quicker buyers can be appraised as to any defect (liens or assessments on the title) that can affect the value of the property.
- The buyer reviews and signs off on any disclosures. These disclosures vary based on property type, but often include things like known flaws with the property, prior improvements or repairs, and potential environmental hazards. A mandatory form called a Seller's Disclosure Statement for Residential Property is provided by the seller on or before the day the contract is signed. Though it's mandatory (unless the type of property is exempted), sellers may see this as beneficial to themselves, and believe that buyers will build these pre-disclosed facts into the contract price (and thus sellers may be reluctant to provide any credits for these defects).
- The buyer elects to perform inspections on the property within a number of days referred to as the inspection period. The types of inspections vary by property type and situation (and locale), but in Missouri, a home inspector generally inspects the home first, and other inspections and tests can be ordered if revealed to be necessary by the initial inspection. Note that in Missouri, sellers can indicate which features of a property may be exempt from any problem found during inspections (or as-is, in other words) Also, failure to complete inspections and/or bring up any defects with the seller before the expiration of the inspection period is the same as waiving the inspection contingency.
- Termite inspections (also called wood destroying insect infestation inspections) are somewhat common in Missouri and many contracts contain language that puts the responsibility on the seller to rectify any termite or other wood destroying insect problem if found (and substantiated) during the inspection.
- Based on the outcome of inspections -and within the number of days designated for the inspection period- buyers may either a) provide a report of defects and walk away, b) provide a report of defects and ask the seller for repair work, closing cost credits, or a reduction in the sale price due to flaws that were uncovered, or c) accept the property as-is. Buyer and seller have a set amount of time to negotiate on all this (indicated in the contract) before the contract becomes null and void (and earnest money returns to the buyer).
- The buyer may also negotiate for a home warranty (a.k.a. 'home protection plan') that covers major appliances from failure for a time period after the sale, typically a year.
Part 2: The mortgage process
For those borrowing to purchase their home, the mortgage process is usually the most stressful and opaque part of the transaction. It's best to start as early as possible and be ready to produce lots of documentation. The following is the general process in Missouri:
- A buyer submits a loan application to their lender, either directly or through a mortgage broker. See a sample Uniform Residential Loan Application used in Missouri. Of course, well before this point, a pre-qualification or pre-approval with a lender should have been acquired.
- Within 3 days, the lender sends a "Good Faith Estimate," or GFE, to the buyer that is a breakdown of estimated closing costs. The final costs are likely to deviate from this estimate. See a sample GFE at hud.gov.
- The buyer sends a series of personal financial disclosures to their lender. These vary by situation, but the most commonly requested documents are:
- Several months of statements for each bank account a borrower holds (including any investment accounts)
- Several months of statements for any outstanding loans, lines of credit, or other liabilities. This can also include documentation of rent payments.
- Up to two years of tax returns, released to the lender via an authorization submitted by the buyer using IRS form 4506-T.
- Recent pay stubs and contact information for each borrower's employer. The number of pay stubs varies by situation.
- Any other disclosures that are material to a borrower's financial situation. This includes but is not limited to marriage licenses, divorce settlements, child support, liens, bankruptcies, or judgments. If there's something that affects how much money you have on hand that isn't shown by simply looking at your salary, be prepared to document it.
- Explanation of any credit inquiries
- Substantiation of any large deposits or cash gifts that aren't regular income. In some cases, a large cash gift may look similar to a personal loan by a friend or family member, and lenders will require gift letters from those that gave you the cash gift, stating that the gift was not a loan. They may also ask for itemized deposit slips. The exact amount that triggers this requirement varies by situation (for instance, a $1,000 cash gift may be material to a single borrower that makes $35,000/yr but may not be material to a borrower that makes $350,000/yr), so it's good practice to ask your lender if you suspect you might have a material cash gift or large deposit - so you aren't surprised by this at the last minute.
- Repeated and updated documentation of any of the above. Keep in mind: to a lender, anything can happen to a borrower's personal financial situation and credit during the escrow process. Thus, you may be asked more than once for the same type of document so that your lender has the most recent pay stubs, rent receipts, bank statements, or other disclosures that may change over time. Any material changes in these documents -or any element of your personal financial situation- may require the lender to reassess your eligability for the loan for which you've applied.
- The lender renders an approval decision, and if approved, issues a loan commitment letter, stating its willingness to fund the mortgage provided certain conditions are met. These conditions usually include appraisal (so the lender can confirm that the property you're buying isn't worth far less than you're paying) but will also generally include any material change in your situation -or the property- as initially disclosed to your lender.
- The loan contingency is removed by the buyer before the expiration of the loan contingency date, which is defined in the contract usually by a number of days after the the effective date in the contract (or in some cases, the earlier of a number of days from the effective date or number of days before the closing date). The loan contingency is removed by sending a copy of their loan commitment to the seller's agent or designee thereof. If the buyer/borrower is unable to get this approval before the expiration of the financial contingency date, either buyer or seller can terminate the contract with written notice and the buyer recovers their earnest money deposit.
- An appraisal is ordered by the lender or mortgage broker via a central directory of appraisers (often called an Appraisal Management Company or AMC). Choosing a specific appraiser is not possible, but a mortgage broker can reject an appraiser and ask for a new one. If the appraisal comes in lower than the purchase price, and the contract indicates that appraisal is a contingency of the agreement (an appraisal contingency), then a buyer can notify the seller of the low appraisal and give the seller a chance to order a new appraisal. If the second appraisal still comes in under the purchase price, the buyer has a right to walk away. If it comes in at or above purchase price, the buyer is still bound in most cases.
- Homeowners' insurance is purchased (or substantiated, if the property being purchased includes homeowners' insurance as part of association fees or similar arrangements), and proof of homeowners' insurance is submitted to the lender.
Tip: As this process can be long, arduous, seemingly arbitrary, and is often critical to your homebuying transaction, try to prepare these documents (or at least figure out how to prepare them) in advance. Also, do not make any changes to your employment or credit until your transaction is complete (not just until you get a loan commitment letter). This means not switching employers even if it results in a higher income, as counterintuitive as that may sound. It also means not leasing or financing a car, opening a new credit card account, or anything else that can affect your credit report.
Part 3: The closing itself
The closing, itself generally takes place at one table (either at the office of a lender, attorney or title company), where buyers sign all documents related to their loan and the transaction itself. After all documents are signed and payments exchanged, buyers generally take possession of the keys after the deed is recorded unless a separate agreement has been reached to allow the seller to stay in the property for a period after closing. The detailed steps that make up closing are:
- As part of the prepartion for closing, the attorney or title company performs a title search (if they haven't already) to determine if there are any liens or assessments on the title. Provided the title is deemed 'clear,' the closing proceeds as planned and the attorney or title company issues a title commitment. All paperwork for changing the title / deed and title insurance is prepared, and a final closing date is confirmed with all parties.
- A final cash figure for what a buyer needs to bring to the closing in the form of a cashier's check is calculated. This is based not only on a mortgage's closing costs but factors like property taxes and utilities paid in to date by the seller.
- A final walkthrough will often be performed up to the day before closing to verify the property is in the same condition it was when the process began, provided it's agreed upon in the contract.
- At the closing, or settlement, table, the buyer (and seller) sign all closing documents, including the HUD-1 (see a sample HUD-1 here), and the final loan documents.
- The buyer pays the remaining funds in their downpayment to the attorney or a representative of the title company who is acting as the settlement agent via certified funds.
- The representative from the title company or attorney will then record the transaction and deed with the appropriate municipality.
- The buyer receives the keys and, unless indicated differently in the contract, officially takes possession of the property.

New Smyrna Beach eateries range from beachy to upscale
Founded in 1768 by Dr. Andrew Turnbull, New Smyrna Beach is the third oldest of the European settled communities in Florida. (Only St. Augustine and Pensacola are recognized as older.) Today, this Atlantic Coast city thrives with an abundance of recreational activities and arts endeavors. The area has managed to hold on to a quaint, village feel, making it an attractive place to live, visit and dine. New Smyrna is east of Orlando via Interstate 4 to State Road 44. From Daytona Beach, it's a straight shot south on Interstate 95.

John Simpson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Simpson Sporting Auctions
We are a well established auction business since 1983, that has been concentrating business in a wide variety of areas including estate auctions of antique and formal furniture, architectural antiques, nostalgia and collectibles, firearms and military collectibles, duck decoys, fishing tackle, hunting and other outdoor collectibles.
The direction of the company has been gradually changing in the last five years, and is now substantially narrowing its focus to concentrate on the firearms, military and outdoor collectibles market.
The target market will be existing customers who are collectors of firearms, military and outdoor collectibles.
We also want to attract a new audience of collectors and potential consignors of these same items who we have not yet been able to attract due to our lack of emphasis and weak company image with respect to those specific areas of our intended specialization.
The ideal logo will incorporate the full company name of "Simpson Sporting Auctions".
It will also boldly illustrate the firearms, military and outdoor collectibles specialty areas of the company's business.

Author Robert Heinlein took great pride in his military service, having graduated from Annapolis and served in the Navy. In a letter to fandom leader Forrest J. Ackerman, Heinlein condemns science fiction fans who didn't participate in WWII efforts.
Heinlein wrote this letter to Ackerman — Ackerman being a science fiction editor and early promoter of scifi fandom — after the death of Ackerman's brother at the end of World War II. It's an interested letter not only because Heinlein disparages fans who didn't participate in the war effort — be it as soldiers or civilians — but also because he felt science fiction wasn't reaching its potential as a social tool. Heinlein condemns what he sees has an overindulgence in escapism at a time when humanity needs literature that combats hatred and advocates for civil liberties.

Ronnie Lee Gardner will die today,
Four bullets in his heart;
The state will kill him, in our name—
We all, then, play a part.
Though what he did was horrible,
I think it is a shame
The state will choose to kill as well
And do it in our name.
In a couple of hours, the state of Utah will shoot a murderer to death. Predictably, the news media are rubbernecking, presenting us with virtual views of the execution and all the details we have come to expect from executions... oh, wait, the media have ignored executions for the most part; they make lousy TV when there is no gunfire involved.
Cuttlestate also still has the death penalty on the books, but has not used it for a while. There is a possibility they will, soon, though. Which, seeing as our government is of, by, and for the people, will make me a killer.
I'd rather not be. It was bad enough when Gardner did it.

Last night, I was teaching beginners, and naturally brought up the maxim that Karate should be used as a last resort only. As I have mentioned before, it is important to clarify what this means when you teach children. Children will memorize the term "last resort," but most do not know what it means. Karate instructors have to be careful to spell it out in simple terms and give examples. I say something like this:
"Last resort means that you have done everything to try not to fight. You have tried to get away. You have tried to talk your way out of the fight. You have even given up the quarter, book or thing the attacker is demanding. But when there is no other way -- when you have done all that you can -- and the attacker is still going to fight or hit you, then you have to do whatever is necessary to protect yourself or your loved one. You should try to avoid using Karate techniques, but when there is no other way, you have to defend yourself and your loved one.Using Karate as a last resort sounds like a moral principle, and to a large extent, it is. But it is also practical.
You should not fight first. Only when there is no other way should you use Karate techniques. This is what we mean by last resort. It is not the first thing you should do, it is the last."
I have practiced martial arts for about 40 years. You would suppose that I could defend myself. But still, I am reluctant to do so, partly for moral reasons, but also because of several practical concerns, such as:
- If someone attacks me, who knows, he might be more skilled than me! He might be an excellent street fighter or an excellent martial artist.
- Even if he is untrained, he might get in a lucky strike or kick and I might be injured or killed. Luck happens, even if only rarely.
- He might be armed with a knife, razer blade, gun, or other weapon (or dangerous substance) that I do not see.
- He might have friends lurking that I do not see.
- He might be drunk, drugged, or deranged. Techniques that work on a normal person might not deter him. Even if you broke his arm, for example, he might not feel it.
- He might have a disease. If I hit or grapple with him and make contact with his blood or other bodily fluids, I might become infected.
- He might be mentally challenged. If I injure him, he might not have been in control of his senses. He might not be responsible for his actions. It would be better if I did not injure him.
- Even if I am defending myself, it might be perceived by the police or others that I have attacked and inured the attacker. I could have legal problems and liability.

I have wanted to get one of these photos for the longest time, so while I was going through my Gramma's photos this summer, I saw this one and though it would make the perfect subject.
The original photo is of my grandfather, my dad (far right), and 2 of his brothers (and the dog) on the front steps back in July 1959. The current photo was taken in August 2011.

As conservatives hope against hope that gay marriage is never passed in their respective states of residence, Barack Obama, who won the "pink vote" during the 2008 presidential election has done no better than a vegetable stricken with bystander effect when it comes to supporting gay rights.
Understandably, many gay voters deplore President Obama's slow rate of progress in establishing gay rights and equality, particularly in the arenas of marriage and the military.
As early as February 2010, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen will testify at a congressional hearing on the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy concerning gays serving openly in the military.
Don't Ask Don 't Tell, challenges conservatives to come to terms with their idea of a strong military. Who should and should not serve? Should gays and lesbians in the military be allowed to speak out about their personal lives? Can they marry on base like straight soldiers?
Currently, many gays have been discharged from service who were excellent soldiers and offered valuable skills such as weapons or language capabilities which should under "normal" circumstance render them indispensable.
Despite President Obama pledging to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the pink vote has noticed his annoying tendency to waffle as he has done with so many other campaign promises he made to liberals.
From this article in the Wall Street Journal:
Ask Obama About Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Ask Obama About Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Gay voters are growing impatient for equality.
By RICHARD SOCARIDES
Current law does not require the services to discharge members based on sexual orientation per se. Rather, it looks to certain conduct to create a presumption for discharge. Thus, the Department of Defense has the authority to devise regulations that determine when such prohibited conduct has occurred. Defense could also interpret the Don't Ask, Don't Tell statute more literally (as intended) and refuse to discharge a service member unless he willfully discloses that he is gay, which almost never happens. Finally, Defense could invoke current regulations to retain gay service members in the interest of national security. All are good options.
What is especially troubling, however, is Mr. Obama's oversensitivity to a dwindling minority of bigots on this issue. Hundreds of military careers have been destroyed on his watch for no valid reason. The country has been deprived of the talents of these service members and has wasted millions of dollars on their training.
Many wonder when their president will show the same kind of concern for the constitutional rights of gay American service members as he has for enemy combatants held at Guantanamo Bay. Many wonder what the administration's willingness to treat gay Americans as second-class citizens says to Uganda and other countries that are considering laws that would subject gays to imprisonment and even death.
Gay Americans have been among the president's most ardent supporters. Their enthusiasm, and that of their families and friends, could be crucial in this year's elections. The president's action—or inaction—on Don't Ask Don't Tell will be noticed.
An increasingly frustrated bloc of gay voters—angry over marriage setbacks in California, Maine, New Jersey and New York and emboldened by Ted Olson's and David Boies's high-profile effort to declare unconstitutional laws that prohibit gay marriage—are growing impatient for equality. As Mr. Olson said in federal district court in San Francisco recently, discriminatory laws serve only to "label gay and lesbian persons as different, inferior, unequal and disfavored."
Afrocity wonders, who exactly is this "minority of bigots" the WSJ opinion piece is referring to?
Minority…Hmmm. That is an interesting choice of words.
We all know that there is a perception gap between Obama supporters and supporters of gay rights. African Americans have been rather consistent in their lack of open armed embrace for the gay community. An African America vote for Obama does not not necessarily translate into a pink vote. While the gay culture within the black community as been somewhat acknowledged with the advent of "Black Gay Pride Week" and an increase in openly gay black celebrities such as Wanda Sykes, the black gay movement still seems wholly autonomous. There is cultural tension between African Americans, gays, and religion. I believe this is the reason for Obama's waffling on gay rights. The black church ain't having that and Obama knows it. To appease one group means offending another. As progressive as Barack Obama professes to be, he still owes much of his election to African Americans who do not support gay rights. This dilemma will continue to haunt the pink vote which has become the battered stepchild of the Obama administration. Like the anti-war moonbats such as Code Pink, Obama has slept with you, now it is time for gays and lesbians to put on their clothes and take the walk of shame bus back home. I promise that Obama is very much so ever "into you". He will call you in oh, say 2011.
While I am not an actively involved in supporting gay rights, I am not opposed to gay marriage. I just find it interesting that Republican moderates and conservatives divide over whether we should support gay rights out of fear of the Obama presidency pushing pro-gay legislation through, when in reality there is not much pushing from the left. Where is the big fight for gays from Barack Obama?
I did not hear anything about fighting for gays during Obama's speech in Ohio last week.
Still, don't look for the pink vote to be back on the market anytime soon…And don't look for Obama to mention one iota about gays or lesbians during his State of the Union address on hump day.

SALINA -- A Salina woman is accused of scamming sellers on Craigslist by sending fake money orders for purchases.
The Salina Journal reports the 51-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of multiple felonies.
Police Lt. Jim Norton says an investigation turned up at least eight victims with total losses of more than $5,000.
The victims had advertised items for sale on Craigslist, including a guitar, silverware set, an electric dryer and a set of animal traps.
Norton says investigators seized a stack of fake Western Union MoneyGrams made out for $975 each from the suspect's apartment.
Authorities believe the woman would send the seller a fake MoneyGrams and then make calls seeking repayment by claiming an assistant had sent the wrong one. The victims wired back money.

Some interesting tidbits...http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=177592 http://weathernation.net/weather/ From the DBSTalk forum: "Just turned on channel 213 and the first face I saw was Paul Douglas, the owner of WeatherNation - http://www.weathernation.net/. I think it's safe to assume they're the ones producing the channel. Douglas founded the company a few years ago after being let go by WCCO-TV in Minneapolis due to budget cuts."Also read that apparently at this time only the SD version of the channel works interactively, not the HD version...
Appears so for now. Too bad. I was hoping for Dish to stick to their guns, but it seems it was about money after all and the programming objections and comments were just a smokescreen.
Just caught a bit of weather cast again at lunch and it's still a couple hours behind. What's the point in that? It won't last long with crap like that.
Quote from: IMADreamer on May 21, 2010, 04:35:17 PMJust caught a bit of weather cast again at lunch and it's still a couple hours behind. What's the point in that? It won't last long with crap like that. I just went over to my mother-in-law's to take a look at it. Was current on her TV. So I don't know where you're seeing this. I did notice the past temperatures are only shown for every few hours. But it was just before 6 and they were showing the Sacramento temperature as reported at 5PM (which would have been the last report issued by the National Weather Service). Despite what some "accu" places may show, temperatures for every place are not available every minute... except from personal weather stations that update every minute. I must say it reminded me a lot of what The Weather Channel used to be... and I liked it. Strange seeing the same maps used on my web sites on the TV, though.

Last July, Jenny Hong of Columbia, S.C., realized that being unemployed was very isolating. She would send out résumés and apply for jobs online, but sometimes long periods would go by without much human contact, other than with her immediate family.
She decided to start a website called Unemployed-Friends.com so other people in the same position could talk with one another. Now, Ms. Hong has more than 3,000 registered users and thousands of "guests" who visit each day.
"The goal of the site is to keep a positive attitude, to stick together and support each other," Hong says. "But I didn't think it would grow like this."
With the unemployment rate at 9.7 percent and the number of long-term unemployed at record levels, the Web and social media are becoming a new lifeline – sometimes a medium through which the jobless can bolster one another and sometimes a way that potential employers can see a person's skills and talents. Compared with the last recession in 2001, there are now many more ways for the jobless to electronically hang out, tweet their US representative to ask for expanded benefits, or monitor job boards.
It's important that the unemployed flock together to keep their spirits up or even vent their frustrations, job experts say. Many have been through difficult job cutbacks, and after months of unemployment, some struggle with a loss of confidence.
"After we've lost a job, we turn inward on ourselves and wonder what we could have done differently, and feel that part of our lives have been taken away from us," says Leslie Hild, a vice president at Right Management in New York, a career-management division of Manpower Inc. "So being able to talk to other people in the same situation helps you understand you're not the only one this is happening to. Interaction is really important."
Chat sites on the Internet field plenty of cries for help from the unemployed. In December, on a forum on Yelp.com, a Chicago-area woman named "Andrea" remarked that since she had lost her job, which had been some time before, all her friends had disappeared.
"I don't have money to go out anymore and I guess I'm a downer," she writes. "My Facebook posts consist of me saying, 'Hey, I'm still out of work, keep me in mind.' "
Andrea's comment resulted in a long "conversation" on the website, which is better known for its consumer reviews. Some participants admonished her to try to be more positive, while others said she should blame the economy, not her friends. The conversation string ended with Andrea saying she was trying to stay positive, but was finding it hard to smile when things were bad – "like can't-pay-your-rent bad."
Support from friends, even if they are online friends, is important, say people who have been out of work. Becky Blanton of Richmond, Va., says her online conversations with friends helped take away a sense of desperation.
"Employers can smell it on you," says Ms. Blanton, who figures she has tried dozens of jobs and was recently hired as a blogger for Change.org.
For some of the unemployed, social media can be the way to alert friends to their job search – and can also lead to actual work. Take Lisa Travnik, who as a Detroit resident used LinkedIn and Facebook to let friends and associates know she was looking for work. She moved to New York, where she ultimately heard about a public-relations job from a college friend.
"I think all the jobs I've had have been from networking, perhaps from a recommendation," she says. "Very rarely have I had to rely on cold calling, which I don't think works very well."
In the new-media age, many job candidates have set up their own blogs. Last year, Laura Zanzal, now in public relations, started 89thandbroke.com, which highlights bargains in New York.
"It's helped me get a job," she says. "I [brought] it up in interviews, and it shows dedication, creativity, and personality," says Ms. Zanzal, who will start a new job shortly.
Social media can also allow job seekers to connect to decisionmakers much faster, says Ms. Hild of Right Management. "It can be a great tool at finding specific connections that might give you entry in a target company," she says.
Yet some professionals caution that job hunting on the Internet has a downside. One of those raising warning signs is Michael Jeans, president of New Directions, a career-management company in Boston.
"It's an easy trap for job seekers to sit down and think if they search long enough and hard enough on the Web, they will find the right jobs for them," he explains. "The reality is that, yes, there are a lot of jobs posted on the Internet – and if you apply for one of them, you may be one of hundreds applying."
It's understandable that people want to use the Web, Mr. Jeans says, because rejection tends to be softer. But his firm cautions job seekers not to make scanning the Web their day job. "Between 8 and 5, you should be out meeting people," Jeans says.
