Six Months After Opening, Still Slow Going For Pentagon Across Pakistan-Afghan Border
Although Pakistan reopened its border with Afghanistan of U.S. and NATO military back in July, traffic there is still moving so slowly that the coalition forces haven't even moved all of the goods that had backed up there -- meaning the Northern Distribution Network through Central Asia remains the key means of supplying foreign forces in Afghanistan. That's according to Air Force Col. Robert Brisson, chief of operations for U.S. Transportation Command, in a recent interview with Military Times.
U.S. military officials have spent the past five months wrangling with the Pakistanis over a formal legal agreement and also working to clear out the roughly 7,000 shipping containers that were stalled in transit when the Pakistanis abruptly closed the border crossings in November 2011.
Coalition forces are only able to get between 10 and 50 cargo trucks per day across the border, compared to around 100 before the border was closed, Col. Brisson said.
"We haven't booked any new cargo into the ports of Karachi and Qasim to move northbound, nor have we started moving new cargo heading southbound out of Afghanistan," Brisson said.
New cargo may begin moving in late December or January, he said.
The U.S. and Pakistan are still working out the terms of the new agreement to ship goods through that country, and apparently the biggest sticking point is the question of transit fees.
On the subject of transit fees, there was an interesting discussion of the fees that the U.S. pays on the Northern Distribution Network. At an event discussing a new report by the Open Society Foundations on the NDN, Les Viguerie, Office Director for Central Asia at the State Department, emphasized that the U.S. does not pay transit fees in Central Asia. As he explained, the U.S. just pays a flat fee to private carriers, who then ... pay transit fees:
"Contrary to some inaccurate reporting that has developed a life of its own, the United States government does not pay transit fees to the Central Asian governments to facilitate the NDN. What happens is that the Department of Defense pays transit carriers one price, approximately $17,500 per container. That price pays the carrier to ship the [container] from point A, which is usually in the continental United States, to point B, which is Afghanistan. The payment that DoD makes is inclusive of any necessary transit fees, transportation costs, and profits for the carrier."
The details of those subpayments are proprietary company information, and so can't be divulged, Viguerie said. But the transit fees charged to NDN cargo by Uzbekistan are reportedly around $2,000, and Tashkent's ongoing efforts to price gouge on this transit have been well documented. Pakistan gets a mere $250 per container. One wonders, then, why Islamabad isn't driving a harder bargain.

Does anyone know if us PS3 users are going to get a some downloadable content? I heard that after the second DLC for XBOX, the PS3's going to get two DLCs. Has anyone else heard about it or got ideas for new characters? TommygunAl
- Rockstar has said that DLC for the PS3 is "likely", but have not said what it will be, so I have no idea if it will be the same two, but I hope it is. What Rockstar said about DLC for the PS3 being likely has caused alot of speculation that what Microsoft has paid for is "time-exclusivity", but that they aren't telling us that so that everyone who owns a PS3 goes out and buys a 360 just for TLAD, before they find out it's coming to PS3 (and many people have done that I would guess). Personally, I own a PS3 so I hope we get it, and I don't want it to be different DLC (that would be stupid). As for what I know about TLAD, I think they did a bad job of it, and that things like weapons and vehicles exclusive to TLAD should also be added to the main game. However, If it was to come to PS3, or I owned a 360, that wouldn't stop me from buying it for other reasons (like seeing the connections to the main storyline). Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 06:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Originally, GTA IV was going to be released exclusively on PS3 first (just like older GTAs were released on PS2 first). However Sony were being awkward and refusing to pay, so they lost the exclusivity and it was released on Xbox 360 at the same time. I believe that these discussions also related to the DLC, so after Sony rejected it, Rockstar went to Microsoft and made the DLC exclusively for Xbox 360. The last I heard was that this was ONLY going to be for the xbox, however that doesn't mean that sometime in the future they may be released for the PS3 and PC. I don't think they would make 2 more DLCs just for the PS3, that would be very backwards of them. Gboyers talk 15:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- First off, I don't think they should make TLAD for the PS3. I, and many other PS3 players will agree, that we don't want XBOX's hammydowns. I may sound stubborn but R* should come up with new DLC for the PS3 and nothing less. TommygunAl
- Xbox 360 is chipping away at the PS3 here and there i can but can't see TLAD for PS3 or even the PC Xbox 360 is getting the DLC's--Roman bellic 01:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't care if it were different DLCs or the same ones. I like all characters, so that doesn't matter. But if PS3 was to get new DLC, I would like to have Gordon Sargent. He seems to have such story, and I want to know more about what was revealed in Team Mafiya Work, that Gordon did a favor for Petrovic. Or one of Petrovic's goons, or an Italian. --Master Sima Yi 3 May 2009
- What R* could do is, after the second DLC release, they could release both of them on disk. This would not (or at least should not) breach the contract for downloadable content as it will be a game in its own right, just as though if Liberty City Stories was a DLC of GTA 3 and was put onto a new disk but featured the same place. That's what I'm hoping they will do, as well as ones exclusive to the PS3. I also agree that the new cars/weapons should appear in the main game as well, something R* could look into for the next one... --LuisFernandoLopez 09:26, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- Whoa! I didn't even notice that loophole. But I don't R* would do that unless Sony started nagging them about it.
I don't think Rockstar are as much for exclusivity as Bungie or Epic games, and most likely the only reason they released the DLC exclusive for Xbox was because Microsoft gave them a better deal or something, but I am sure that at some point the DLC will come out for PS3, but they have already given the PS3 exclusive content with Red Dead Redemption, probably to make up for the 360, and I also doubt that they would be able to come up with anymore DLC for GTA IV as all the mysteries and people that were only mission helpers (Johnny Klebitz) or random people with assault rifles (Luis Lopez) and why they were there at the times they were there are all resolved, and those two DLCs were meant to be released after the game to tie off those loose ends, but, does anyone else think they are about to start working on another game?AtomicLlama 10:33, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
GTA IV was going to be PS3 exclusive, but Microsoft paid them $75million to bring it 360 as well. Then they paid $50million for the two episodes to be timed exclusives. Sony were not being awkward, they didn't reject anything, they just were not willing to bribe Rockstar for exclusivity or the the two DLC's which they got in the end anyway. NT92 15:38, October 4, 2010 (UTC)
It's not a bribe. A bribe is dealing with the wants of the individual, its not like Bill Gates was sitting with Dan Houser and Howard Stringer (Sony CEO) and they were discussing PS3 exclusivety when Bill Gates suddenly slipped $75 million under the table for Dan Houser and suddenly changed his mind, Microsoft gave Rockstar a reasonable offer to bring the game to the Xbox 360 as well as PS3 to maximize both company's profits, and keep all consumers happy, and when the issue of DLC came up, Microsoft gave an offer that Sony was not willing to beat and so Rockstar made the DLC exclusive to Xbox 360.AtomicLlama 10:33, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
Its obvious that 360 would not stand a chance if the most anticipated game of all time was released only on PS3. Microsoft had to pay up. Microsoft couldn't care less about consumers, they are only interested in money. As for the DLC, im glad Sony was not willing to pay Rockstar for exclusivity or DLC as that is low, and Microsoft went low by doing that and throwing their money around. Sony got it free later anyway. NT92 12:58, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
Notice how your argument is incredibly opinionated, whereas I tried to look at both sides of the argument. Paying for DLC is not low, I am sure that Sony does it as well with other games, for example, Red Dead Redemption, where the PS3 received exclusive content for the game. Even if Microsoft only cared about money, they would not pursue an investment of $75 million if they knew that the consumer would be indifferent to a release of the game on their console. They chose to make that investment as they knew it would become a hugely popular game, and they made a sound investment. Everyone knows that the game wouldn't be as well known if it was a PS3 exclusive. Games like Uncharted Drakes Fortune for instance. Great game, but being made by Sony (as such being a PS3 exclusive) it did not receive the fame that Grand Theft Auto 4 did. AtomicLlama 03:43, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
RDR got an extra hideout, big deal. Sony didn't pay for that. Microsoft are bastards because they got the money, just face it. Are u so stupid that u think GTA IV would not be as well known if released only on PS3. The GTA series is possibly the most well known games series of all time, especially after GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas were exclusive to PS2 at first, and those games are responsible for making GTA what it is today. The whole world knew about GTA IV, and Microsoft payed that $75 million because the 360 would be finished if it wasn't on their console, everyone would have chosen PS3 for GTA IV alone. With Uncharted, that game was new, there had been no previous installments and therefore few people knew of it so obviously it wouldn't be as famous. And it wasn't made by Sony, it was made by Naughty Dog. Anyway, as if Microsoft cared about the popularity of GTA IV, they are only bothered about money. If you really believe that GTA IV would be less known if it was only on PS3, why were sales for the game through the roof on both platforms? Did everyone suddenly know about it when Microsoft wrote the check for 75 mil? Think about what u say. NT92 10:29, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
I don't really get how a Forum starts into a fanboy vs. fanboy flame bullshit. First of all, Microsoft offered money to Rockstar North in exchange for the game to be released to their console and for the "timed exclusivity" of the two upcoming DLC because R* was damn near bankrupt at that time. Do you people seriously think that M$ "bribed" R* for GTA IV and the two DLC. -Ralphaids 3:40PM, October 10, 2010 (GMT +8:00)
Rockstar were not bankrupt. Even though its not technically a bribe, i just say its a bribe because it is the offer of money to have things your way. This is not a fanboy or flame war. Just saying that had Rockstar refused the money and released on PS3 only, the 360 would be pretty much over. In a way, all Microsoft were doing was keeping their console going, but still...NT92 16:33, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
NT92, it wouldn't be cool to say "No Offense, but you are a stinky-doo-doo head!" Why would it be cool to say "This is not a fanboy or flame war..." and then fanboy all over your keyboard? Now, go get your mom to bring you some Kleenex to clean yourself up and GTFO. CribbNG3 18:28, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
CribbNG3 lol, what are you 9? Why don't you say something meaningful that i actually understand. It wasn't a fanboy war, it was a FACT war. "Now go get your mom to bring you some Kleenex to clean yourself up". I have no idea what that means, but i'm sure you and your mother do it often, but im not interested thanks.

History Lesson
Time for a Phillies history lesson. 30 years ago today, GM Paul Owens made a managerial change in Atlanta. The Phillies, Eastern Division winners the three previous seasons, were 12.5 games out, resting in fifth place in the six-team division.
Broadcaster Chris Wheeler has a book coming off the presses next month, View From The Booth. Here's an excerpt from his book……four decades with the Phillies by Wheeler with Harold Gullan:
"I was in my room in Atlanta in the afternoon. The season had been lost to injuries and the runaway Pirates but we still had a month to go. I was working on the daily stats and notes, still doing double duty as the traveling PR representative and a part-time broadcaster. A lot of the pre-game material now is computerized but in 'those days' we had to type everything on stencils—and it was a lot of time-consuming work.
"The phone rang and it was the Pope (Paul Owens). He sounded a little agitated and said, 'I need you in my room right away to talk about something.' I know I got up there real fast because I didn't want to keep him waiting. His suite door was half open so I knocked and walked in and sitting there on the couch was Big 'D" himself (Dallas Green). 'Bet you're surprised to see me,' Dallas barked. 'I know you know why I'm here.'
"The three of us spent time talking about a press conference to announce Danny Ozark's firing and how were going to word the release which was being prepared back in Philadelphia by Larry Shenk.
"It was a tough day because we all really liked Danny but knew this was part of the business, an unpleasant part but something that just happens and you have to move on."
Dallas was the Director of Minor Leagues and Scouting at the time and the Pope wanted him in the dugout as an interim manager for the rest of the season to gauge what changes needed to be made. The Phillies finished 19-11 under Dallas. When the World Series had ended, Dallas was named manager.
Using a tough-guy style of managing, the Phillies paraded down Broad Street as World Champions a year later.
"Wheels" remembers were he was 30 years ago. For you "veterans", do you remember where you heard the news that Dallas was the new manager?
Phillies Insider also appears on twitter as barons63.
1 Comment
Uh….I was like seven when that happened…I was likely playing in a mud puddle somewhere in the backyard :O) Although I did meet Dallas in 1980 before a game when my little league team got to "warm-up" out on the field. My mom put the photo of us all with Dallas "somewhere safe" and now since she passed no one can find it…figures.

I Tried Intermittent Fasting for Six Months, and I Lost More Than Weight
When I decided to give IF a try, I thought it would be easy. I remembered how, in college, as a single parent, I'd share a Happy Meal with my two young kids, them sharing the burger and fries, me taking the Coke. I'd make it through late-night studies and sleep just fine. Plus, I've always been that type who, during the workday, may get so bogged down in a project that I forget to eat till after noon anyway. So I didn't think this fasting thing would be that big of a deal. I wasn't going to starve. But once I started - gosh, was I ever hungry! I had committed to a "16:8" schedule, which meant I would fast for 16 hours and then have an eight-hour window in which I could feast. So I decided to begin my fast at 7 p.m., meaning my first meal of the next day would be at 11 a.m. Waiting 16 hours to eat seemed impossible at first. It was all I could do not to grab a protein bar, a banana, something! But then I realized: Oh, all I'm really giving up is breakfast. I do that all the time. After that shift in mindset, you realize most of the fasting takes place when sleeping. So you basically only give up the breakfast hour and then wait a few hours more. You can still eat your favorite breakfast foods later in the day, if you prefer. Some people will sip on bone broth for the electrolytes. I did not. I focus mostly on drinking more water, and now I can fast for up to 20 hours on some days without a problem. This is the schedule on which I've seen others claim the most progress - and these folks are still eating as much or more than I do.istockphoto.com
Leave the sugar and cream in the cupboard
I'm used to starting my day with coffee - loaded with cream and sugar, please! But I've lost the taste for that simple pleasure now that I've given it up for IF, committing to a "clean" fast. Fasting clean means you avoid all fats, sugars and added flavors during the fasting period. You can have any combination of coffee, green or black tea, and carbonated or still water. But you have to say no to cream, sugar, honey, lemon and other flavoring. You get nothing but the plain, boring, bland. Blah. I'm still wrestling with this one, because celebrities like Brooke Burke encourage a little cream, butter or Bulletproof coffee to get through the fast. But proponents of the clean fast say that's a no-no. During a fast, when I feel the urge to reach for the gateway drug to cookies - cream - I try to remember their advice. The good thing is, they say you can have that cream and sugar when the fast ends. If I drink coffee at all before that time, however, I find myself choosing still to leave out the sugar, mostly, and pour much less cream.istockphoto.com
Lose the snacks
It did take a few weeks before I stopped feeling deprived. It helped knowing that, when feasting, you're restricted only by common sense. The leader of the Facebook group, Georgia-based Ellen Britt, told us we could basically eat whatever we wanted. Because we were training our bodies to use stored fat instead of sugar for energy, we didn't even have to give up carbs! But I'm no longer that 20-something with energy to burn. I'm a 50-something with a metabolism that has come to a full stop and an appetite that hasn't. So I follow the "no snacks" rule, recommended by Jason Fung, M.D., a Toronto-based nephrologist and self-proclaimed "Diet Doctor" who also wrote "The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss." I bought his books to learn more about what I'd gotten myself into - and it turns out that what I'd gotten myself into was eating just two square meals a day, sometimes with dessert. Wink, wink. Not so deprived after all.Jackie Dishner
Say buh-bye to inches
While I've not lost a lot of weight, I have seen a decrease in inches around my waist, legs, arms, and hips - 1 inch each so far. Even my neck is slimming down. This is not enough to send me shopping for a whole new wardrobe yet, but I can see my body's changing shape, smoothing out and slimming down. It helps that I exercise regularly, at least four times a week, usually more. This is supposed to speed up the process, though it doesn't seem to have done so for me. Yet. So I'm now cutting back on the wine (sugar) at dinnertime.Jackie Dishner
No more (or at least fewer) aches and pains
I had this nagging pain in my left arm and shoulder, most likely from overuse of my cellphone. I'd rest my arm on the arm of the couch to read, text and post. It was a bad habit I'd gotten into. I recognized I was doing it and that it might be the cause of the pain, so I stopped. But the pain still didn't go away - not even with Advil or with the high dose of Tylenol prescribed by my doctor. Yet one month after starting IF, that nagging pain was gone - and I also regained full range of pain-free motion in my shoulder. Achy knees and swelling legs by day's end aren't a thing for me anymore, either. Even more surprising, by the end of the third month, pain from an inflamed corn was also gone. All of this reduced inflammation, I'm told, is likely the result of the autophagy that occurs during fasting. Autophagy is the body's way of removing old cells in the body so that human growth hormone has space to produce new cells. It's part of the body's natural renewal process. But when we eat three meals a day and snack in between, the body just doesn't have time to catch up with waste removal. I'm thankful that my body is working more efficiently now. Because of this, I have more energy and more focus and am more productive at work. I'm also able to move more easily, exercise harder and play longer, especially with the grandchildren.Shutterstock
Skin tags, begone
One final loss was completely unexpected, especially since I fell off the wagon during the holidays and had to re-start IF. But early in January, I noticed my skin felt smoother, including around my neck, where I was once graced with a boatload of skin tags that appeared during the hormonal crisis days of perimenopause. When I touch my neck now, I can tell those skin tags are shrinking, and I'm sure one of them has completely disappeared. On Facebook, several other women have claimed a similar experience, referring to this as another "NSV," or "non-scale victory." I'll take it.istockphoto.com
Goodbye, lack of self-confidence
This is the best loss so far from my experience with IF. Whatever improvement going on inside my body is also improving my mental wellness. My overall attitude has improved. At the time I started the diet, I had been feeling a bit down on myself. My career wasn't where I expected it to be. I felt heavy and dumpy. I wasn't confident things would turn around, because I exercise regularly and wasn't seeing results. I don't know if it's because I'm feeling better about myself on the outside and that's affecting how I feel on the inside, but I believe IF has given me energy I didn't even know I had. I'm doing more in all areas of life. I've started running again, which my husband, himself a runner, loves. I'm cycling harder than ever. I've started to explore my own art, rather than just write about other artists - I've even sold a painting! - and, after joining a leadership training group, I'm exploring this new creativity work-wise. When I joined Ellen Britt's IF group on Facebook last summer, I expected that this lifestyle choice offered great rewards - and it has. Even the losses have turned out to be gains. If you're trying a new diet and not seeing results on the scale, one of these surprising reasons could be why you're not losing weight.

Christopher Guest's "Family Tree" debuts on HBO
[media-credit name="HBO" align="alignright" width="495″][/media-credit]
Christopher Guest has long been respected as crazy-brilliant, an astute observer of human nature with a very dry wit.
The faux documentary filmmaker who gave us "Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman" and "A Mighty Wind" now tries his hand at a single-camera TV series, written and created with Jim Piddock. "Family Tree" begins an eight-episode run Sunday on HBO.
The charming Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids") holds together the story as Tom Chadwick, a Brit who has been bequeathed a box curios by his great aunt Victoria. Being an unemployed lonely guy just out of a relationship, Tom throws himself into researching his unknown relatives. He gets help from his loser pal Pete (played by Tom Bennett) and his sister Bea (Nina Conti) and, of course, his sister's monkey hand puppet. Don't discount the potential of a monkey hand puppet to win you over with a sly, knowing attitude. His father, played by Michael McKean, takes time out from guffawing at dreadful TV comedies to suggest that Tom's great-grandfather William may be the man in a military uniform in a photograph in the old trunk. And so begins the search that will unveil hidden family truths.
Sweet, goofy and sometimes hilarious, the half-hours regularly introduce new characters– Bob Balaban, Lisa Palfrey, Kevin Pollak, Amy Seimetz and Fred Willard among the players– and will range from Derbyshire to California in future episodes (Ed Begley Jr. plays Tom's American cousin Al). This series won't change the world, or even the world of TV comedy, but it is an intriguing diversion.

But true.
Wouldn't at all be surprised if Samoa defeat England based on that performance.
Would have loved to be next to Brian Ashton with less than 20 minutes left and England looking totally unconvincing when, needing a creative spark and inspirational leader to organise the backs and provide some flair, Ashton turns to his bench and sees ... an ex-rugby league prop who captained the Great Britain rugby league team to 9 wins in 29 Tests.
The Springboks v Samoa should be a very interseting game, appartently Samoa have extremely strong forwards, will certainly be watching it.
Love Samoa so much. Given Saints some top players over the years. Apollo Perelini, Freddie Tuilagi, Maurie Fa'asavalu. Hope they reach the quarters.
Makes me weep when I think we could've selected Geraghty or even Flood in his place. 3 outside-centres (Noon, Tait & Hipkiss) seems at least one too many as well.
Suffice to say that 28-10 against a team of amateurs, Tongan ex-pats, Saffie backpackers & an Aussie who happened to be born in the US is, frankly, dire. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the full replay after the Israel game.

Hoping to see Samoa do well here...should be interesting game...

Burger's a filthy piece of ****. Should've had a card for that tackle, took the bloke out in the air with v little attempt to go for the ball.
...lovely try by Samoa

Long Ball Night
Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow stopped by the Phillies radio booth pre-game Monday to ask Larry Andersen for a scouting report on the Phillies. LA responded, "Pitching has been great, both starters and relievers. Hitting is starting to come around but we're not hitting the long ball."
Bingo. The Phillies had four long balls in winning the series opener behind rookie Vance Worley's first major league complete game. Worley's had one other complete game in his four-year pro career, July 9, 2010, against the Harrisburg Senators while pitching for the Reading Phillies.
Last Phillies rookie with a complete game was J.A. Happ, August 27, 2009, at Pittsburgh.
Chase has reached base in 28 consecutive games (33 hits, 12 walks, 1 hit-by-pitch) . . . Polly will rehab starting Thursday night at Lehigh Valley. He'll face former Phillie, Brandon Duckworth . . . SS Roman Quinn, Phillies second-round pick out of Port St. Joe High School (FL), was a guest of the Phillies last night. Deadline for signing draft selections is August 15.
Down On The Farm
Jesse Barfield's RBI single capped a 2-run 10th inning that gave first-place Lehigh Valley an 8-7 win over the second-place Pawtucket Red Sox. Victory was fourth straight for first-place Lehigh Valley and increased lead to 3 games . . . Reading was blanked by Altoona, 5-0 . . . Clearwater won its sixth in a row, 10-2, over Bradenton as RHS Julio Rodriguez (13-6) picked up his fifth straight win to lead all minor league pitchers. 3B Travis Mattair hit 2 of Clearwater's 5 home runs . . . 3B Geancarlo Mendez' walk off single gave Lakewood a 5-4 win over Augusta. Win was Lakewood's third in a row . . . Williamsport, riding a 3-game winning streak, was not scheduled . . . Gulf Coast League Phillies were held to 3 hits in losing, 2-0, to the Tigers.

Chicago-area existing home sales skyrocket
The Home Front
No Comments - Add Your Comment
The residential housing market in the Chicago area is in rebound mode as real estate brokers report strong existing home and condominium sales in normally slow summer months, experts say.
According to MLS data compiled by the Illinois Association of Realtors (IAR), 8,551 homes and condos were sold in July of 2012, up a whopping 29.1 percent from 6,624 homes marketed in July of 2011.
However, the continued burn-off of foreclosures and short sales pushed the median home price in July of 2012 down to $172,000 in the nine-county Chicago area, a decline of 5.9 percent from $182,700 in July 2011.
The sales momentum we saw building in the first six months of 2012 is continuing into the latter half of the year, noted Loretta Alonzo, president of the IAR. Low interest rates and home prices will give the market a foundation for continued strengthening.
The monthly average commitment rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage for the North Central region was 3.54 percent in July 2012, down from 3.67 percent during the previous month, reported the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. Last year in July it averaged 4.59 percent.
Despite the unclear signals for the future pace of economic recovery, the Illinois and Chicago-area housing sales and price forecasts suggest that the housing market will maintain the positive momentum into the fall, predicted economist Dr. Geoffrey J.D. Hewings of the University of Illinois.
In Chicago, sales of single-family homes and condos in July totaled 2,088 units, up 26.2 percent from 1,655 units sold in the same month a year ago. Chicago median home and condo sale price was $205,000 in July, down 2.4 percent from $210,000 in compared to July of 2011.
Chicago saw a continued growth in the number of all units sold through July of 2012 over the same period in 2011, including 23.2 percent more condos sold in Chicago.
Condos remain a cornerstone of the Chicago marketplace and an affordable option for first-time home buyers and investors looking for both value and the experience of city living, said Realtor Zeke Morris, president of the Chicago Association of Realtors.
Condo sales remain a strong indicator of a market recovery. Competitive pricing and low interest rates create investment opportunities some may have not otherwise been able to achieve, Morris said.
Meanwhile, state-wide home and condo sales surged 25.5 percent to 12,355 units sold, a gain of 25.5 percent from 9,846 units sold in the same month a year ago. This was the best July performance since 2007 when 14,738 homes were sold in Illinois.
The statewide median price in July was $148,000, down 1.7 percent from $150,575 in July of 2011. However, median prices in July were $25,650 higher than they were in January of 2012. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more and half sold for less.
More than half of Illinois counties reporting (62 of 101) showed year-over-year home sales increases in July of 2012. And, 50 counties showed year-over-year median price increases.
The IAR reported the following county-by-county price increases: DuPage, up 1.1 percent to $220,000; Grundy, up 15.8 percent to $139,000; Kankakee, up 4.2 percent to $123,449; LaSalle, up 13.6 percent to $100,250; McLean, up 3.8 percent to $165,000; Rock Island, up 5.6 percent to $99,750; and Winnebago, up 3.9 percent to $93,500.

Kundalini is a dormant spiritual energy, often described as a serpent coiled up at the base of the spine. This serpent guards the entrance of susumna, the central energy channel, keeping prana energy from entering and ascending up through the center of the spine through the seven chakras. Kundalini is regarded as the individualized form of cosmic feminine spirit of Shakti. The opposite pole and pair of Shakti is Shiva, who resides in the crown chakra. Yoga has two main paths for achieving enlightenment. The classical path is through stilling the fluctuations of mind and prana through inner focus, concentration, and meditation. The tantric path is to uncoil the serpent, releasing kundalni to rise up the susumna channel through all seven chakras to unite Shakti with Shiva.
Activating kundalini creates an ultimate state of bliss. Yet without adequate preparation, releasing kundalni can lead to disaster. The release of such a powerful source of energy into the body's delicate systems can cause pain and in rare cases lead to insanity and death. Before kundalini is activated and released upwards, the body and mind must be prepared through hatha yoga exercises, completed in a specific order. First, the energy channels (nadis) and physical body must be strengthened and purified through pranayama, meditation and yoga postures (asanas). Second, all seven chakras must be slowly awakened using meditation, yoga postures and mudras. Once the body and nadis are purified, the chakras are open, and the aspirant has a mastery over body, breath and prana, only then can kundalini be safely awakened. Kundalini can be awakened through many yogic techniques: mantra, tapas, meditation, pranayama, mudra, shaktipat and self-surrender.
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
During the activation one can still experience adverse effects as kundalini moves through the body and the nervous system adjusts to this dramatic increase of psychic energy. Therefore it is not advised to activate kundalini without guidance of a qualified teacher and support of a spiritual community.
Once kundalini is activated, the yogi's life completely changes. However, you need not follow this path all the way to its ultimate end. Purifying body and mind, cleansing the energy pathways and activating the chakras promote consciousness, equanimity, well-being, and inner peace.

We are being poisoned. It is not a deliberate thing. There is no conspiracy. It has brought entire empires to their knees in the past. The nature of the beast is we are being poisoned from a number of sources. Here are some of those sources:
Poison Number One. Dental work. Our dentists have been putting mercury fillings in our mouths for generations. If you were in the military and got fillings, chances are you have these mercury fillings in your mouth. They cause vapors in your mouth that go directly into your blood stream. I remember after service being very paranoid about a lot of things. Gradually it went away. I had stomach problems as well. I have now traced it back to those fillings that are still in my mouth many years later. Somewhere down the road, these will teeth will have to be removed.
A lot of people have been poisoned by their dentists. Gradually the industry is getting away from these kind of fillings and going to ceramic fillings. Mercury is responsible for a lot of insane behavior. It is suggested it was in the Roman water supplies. It came from the plumbing.
Poison Number Two. Flouride. Years ago, the aluminum industry had a huge problem. The problem was a byproduct of producing aluminum. Yes, it (Read More....)

Skip to comments.Norway set to reopen embassy in Iraq
Posted on 01/29/2005 6:50:34 AM PST by franksolich
Norway Set to Reopen Embassy in Iraq January 26, 2001 Norway is preparing to reopen its embassy in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, 10 years after it was closed at the start of the Gulf War, the foreign ministry announced Friday. Norway, a new member of the U.N. Security Council, was appointed this month to lead the world agency's sanctions committee on Iraq. Foreign Minister Thorbjoern Jagland said Oslo needs first hand information from Iraq. ''To be able to do the most independent evaluation possible of the conditions in Iraq in connection with our work on the Security Council, we want to reopen a diplomatic representation in Baghdad,'' he said in a printed statement

A delightful country, Norway, and Norwegians some of the finest people in the world.
If one wishes to be on the "Norway Ping List," please pign or e-mail me--but alas it is pretty much guaranteed to be a low-intensity ping list, because nothing much happens in Norway.
Norway is the Nebraska of Europe; a decent-sized country in square footage, clean spacious scenery, and highly-literate, well-educated, well-mannered people.....the problem being, there are just not many people.
Oops, sorry.
Moderator--could you move this post to "chat"?
I had it set wrong; my apologies, sir.
Yes, and the have kuminost cheese and pickled herring, two epicurian delights which are hard to find in America.
Props to Norwegians.
Many nations and cultures have pickled herring. They were most plentiful in the Baltic sea but are somewhat fished out there. But not gone by any extent. Pickling meant the herring could be transported inland in barrels.
Of course. All of Scandanavia for example. Kuminost/nokkelost cheese seems only to be available from Norway these days.
Actually, I always wondered what the "national dish" of Norway was, assuming it was some sort of salt-water fish or reindeer.
The largest general ethnic group in Nebraska is the "generic" "Scandinavian"--but from surveys of these people here, it appears 99% of them are of Danish descent, the other 1% being Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faeroese.
Danes are cool, and good cooks, excepting for fish.
Well, sir, there was a Norwegian prowling around Free Republic earlier in the week, alleging that Free Republicans are "anti-Norwegian," and so I decided to do something about it.
I know, I know, I know, Norway is broadly considered part of the decadent "Old Europe"--but in blunt fact, when examining their contributions to the War Against Terror, in both Afghanistan and Iraq, it appears Norway is doing somewhat more than its own proportional share.
Norway's ambassador to the Free Republic, eurotwit, gave the statistics, and for a country with fewer people than many American cities, and where public enthusiasm for the War Against Terror is lukewarm to cold, the Norwegian contribution is remarkable; the numbers were on a Free Republican thread where a Norwegian was griping that it seems politically-incorrect to harvest whales, and politically-correct to kill wolves.....as one can imagine, those scarce rare few Norwegian threads here cover all sorts of territory.
My error, sir.
I work nights, and this had been posted in the morning, when I was sleepier than Al Gore's wife you-know-whatting with her husband; just not all here.
That news-release was from January 2001; it came from a search on Google, and I had entered all the information for posting on Free Republic, when, ooops, I noticed the date.
Too late, because I was about ready to keel over from lack of sleep. But in the future, when describing Norway, I will be more diligent, more thorough, about "timeliness."
However, sir, it does seem odd that one of the very first items in Google, about Norway, is a four-year-old news-release.....as if not much happens there.
Right, sir, the Norwegians are good people, great people, the problem being there are so few of them, just as with Nebraskans. Substitute reindeer for bison, and water for prairie, and Norway is exactly like Nebraska.
I have lived in many parts of the world--a "free-lance" wanderer, one might say--but have never been to Norway. It is however one of my ambitions in life, to spend a winter in Svalbard, which must be utterly fascinating.
But, in a more-serious vein, I am confident that there is more to Norway than meets the eye, and their contribution to the War Against Terror deserves commendation.
"Danes are cool, and good cooks, excepting for fish."
Well, then, they must not eat lutefisk, eh? LOL!
There is just a thing about fish, Madam. I have no idea why, but I really loathe fish, and cannot even endure the odor of it wafting through the air.
Since this is Nebraska, with 6 cattle for every Nebraskan, and with Colorado to the west of us, one is used to all sorts of really sordid odors, but man, fish is so high up on the list, the "second-worst" odor is so far down it does not even count.
I ate fish one time in my adult life, but it took a great deal of pressuring. I was in a railway compartment with a colonel in the Ukrainian "state" police (a lot of stripes on those sleeves), and he insisted upon "feasting" me--even the "bad" Ukrainians tend to be hospitable--but I adamantly balked at the fish. When he had me pinned against the window of the passenger-compartment, and was reaching for his baton, I figured, well, I had better eat the fish.....
You know, Madam, another thing that fascinates me about the similarities of Norwegians with Nebraskans is that in military recruitment, the overwhelming majority of Nebraskans going into the service select the Navy (and the really good ones, the Marines); this is anecdotal evidence only, but it does seem that circa 50-67% of them go into the sea-faring services, even though salt-water is not part of the Nebraska "culture."
No problem at all. I was bummed to know that it was an error.
"highly-literate, well-educated, well-mannered people.....the problem being, there are just not many people."
Don't worry. The lean hungry barbarians from the South, with their alien superstitious "religion," will take care of that little problem soon enough.

Lutefisk and lefse bump!

Ukraine claimed their first victory of the 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, overcoming Japan 4-2 in a tight contest.
Having lost their opening fixtures, both sides entered the match knowing they needed to pick up points. Ukraine took an immediate lead, Roman Pachev scoring straight from kick-off just two seconds into the match, the fastest goal of the tournament so far.
Although Ukraine were in control, a goal rush did not follow and there were no further strikes in the first period. In fact, the second goal of the game did not come until midway through the second period, Sergii Bozhenko doubling Ukraine's advantage.
Now the goals were flowing and the Ukrainians made it three a minute later when Oleg Zborovskyi finished off a wonderful team move. Japan finally came to life and reduced the deficit a further minute later, Hirofumi Oda's shot giving his side hope.
Into the third period, Japan increased the pressure and won a penalty, which was missed by Shunta Suzuki. They did make it 3-2 shortly after, though, Masayuki Komaki beating the Ukraine goalkeeper.
Ukraine put paid to the Japanese comeback three minutes before full-time, Oleg Mozgovyy sending a brilliant free-kick into the top corner to put the result beyond doubt.
After two defeats, Japan will want a result in their final game against Brazil for pride. Ukraine end the group stage with a match versus Mexico. Both games take place on Tuesday 6 September.

In sports, everyone is a winner-some people just win better than others. Like the People of the Book, who, in addition to controlling the media, now control the paint at MSG thanks to Amar'e Stoudemire's newfound faith.
We've long assumed his Twitter account (@amareisreal) was so named to assure fans as to its authenticity. But could it be that all along he just didn't know how to spell "Israel?" The Jews of New York must be psyched. (There are Jews in New York, right?)
Stoudemire says he recently discovered that his mother is Jewish, and is traveling to Israel to learn more about his roots:
On the flight to Israel. This is going to be a great trip. The holy land. Learn about it. This ze ha'halom sheli. Shalom.less than a minute ago via Echofon
Amar'e Stoudemire
Jerusalem is a beautiful city, I'm at a cafe eating a late lunch. I'm learning Hebrew by the min. Keep up !!
Shalom.less than a minute ago via Echofon
Amar'e Stoudemire
We've looked into the question of Stoudemire's faith before, and with the help of a theology student, concluded he likely belongs to an obscure offshoot of the Black Hebrew Israelites. So it's iffy, but as Deadspin's resident Jew (and only one, despite this odd Yahoo Answers question), I say there's always room at this party.
You may have noticed there's not a ton of Jewish athletes, so we'll take what we can get. We've been claiming Rod Carew for decades, even though all he did was marry a nice Jewish girl. In the NBA, pickings are even slimmer (you can keep that little shit Farmar).
And besides, by moving from Arizona to New York, Stoudemire has reenacted a journey undertaken by many a Jew before him, only in reverse.
So welcome to the club, Amar'e. Your membership card will be coming in the mail, and the ZOG meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month. It'll be nice to see a circumcised cellphone dong photo for once.

GMM with missing/truncated data

Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
Adam Slez
posted on Monday, October 01, 2007 - 12:29 pm
I am interested in using growth mixture modeling to identify types of career trajectories. Is this possible given that career lengths vary significantly across individuals? I'm not certain whether it is appropriate to think of variation in career length as either a missing or truncated data issue. Any suggestions on whether it is feasible to use GMM? If so, what is the best way to do so? What I would like to be able to do is to be able to identify career types defined by both the shape and the duration of the trajectory.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, October 01, 2007 - 6:57 pm
Can you tell me a bit about the outcome as well as the different shape classes that you expect?
Adam Slez
posted on Monday, October 01, 2007 - 8:10 pm
The outcome variable is a hierarchy measure which varies between 0 and 1. Essentially, what the measure does is rank all jobs or positions that an individual might occupy and then assign each job a score between 0 and 1 which is proportionate to its position within the overall ranking. The top job is assigned a hierarchy score of 1, the lowest a score of 0; all jobs in between receive a score proportional to their distance from the top. If there is a strict career ladder in play, we might expect a linear relationship between time and job rank. Alternatively, I think that it would be reasonable to observe stalled careers in which their is a non-linear relationship such that there is a an early increase and then a leveling-off. The other dimension in play here is career duration. Some people have long careers and some people have short careers. Most of what I have read on the use of growth curve models assumes an ideal situation in which there are observations for all individuals at all points in time. In this case, the fact that there aren't observations at all points in time (i.e. short careers) is part of what needs to be explained. I wish I could be off more help, but I am still trying to figure out whether this can even be done with a GMM or LGM.
Bengt O. Muthen

It's an interesting question that seems to connect to both growth modeling and survival analysis. I don't think I have a final answer, but here are some thoughts.
One approach would be growth modeling, either with one or several latent trajectory classes, where a short career is simply treated as missing data in line with "MAR" (see missingness lit.). MAR says that missingness is predicted by previous observed outcomes - for instance, a leveled-off development might predict missingness (leaving the career). Given great variation in career length, perhaps the growth modeling should not be done as a single-level multivariate approach but as a two-level approach.
Another approach would be survival analysis where you model the time to leaving the career, i.e. the career length.
A third approach combines the above two. For example, certain early career shapes predict not surviving. Such modeling is not always, however, straightforward. Some related modeling ideas are given in the Muthen-Masyn (2005) JEBS article on the web site under Papers, Survival Analysis.

The annual event – usually held at the 9/11 Memorial at 69th Street and Grand Avenue – was instead held in the nearby Squad 288/HazMat 1 firehouse due to inclement weather.
Squad 288/HazMat 1 lost more members than any other firehouse in the city on that day, losing 19 firefighters. In addition, Maspeth lost six residents in the attacks. All of those names were read aloud on Saturday as a small America flag was placed near two commemorative wreaths.
Joe Iovino, a 34-year veteran of the FDNY, was at the firehouse that morning. His shift was just ending when the first tower was hit. Thinking it was just a small plane, he started to head home.
"None of us had any idea it was a terrorist attack," he said on Saturday.
When news that the second tower had been hit, he turned around and headed back to the firehouse and arrived at Ground Zero just as the second tower collapsed.
"Walking around the site after the collapse, it was very quiet," said Iovino. There was just 10 inches of dust everywhere. It's was like the feeling after a big snowstorm."
Iovino said as the years go by, the anniversary of 9/11 never gets any easier.
In addition to the reading the names of those who perished, Saturday's ceremony featured a prayer led by Father Peter Zendzian of Holy Cross Parish, music by Bill and Liz Huisman, and a rendition of the National Anthem by Kathleen Nealon.
Battalion Chief Nicholas Corrado also offered remarks. He recalled seeing a bumper sticker on a fire truck recently that read "Never Forget."
"That bumper sticker means nothing, but what's important is a day like today," he told the crowd of about 50. "Share with your children what these brave men and women did that day."
An emotional Kenneth Rudzewick of Maspeth Federal Savings, which hosts the ceremony every year, offered some closing remarks. He referenced a recent tragedy in his own life, losing his daughter to cancer just a few short months ago.
"People will tell you 'time will heal, you have to move on,' and they all mean well," he said. "But I'll never get over it, and I'll never get over 9/11. You have to be loyal to the pain."

Halo Top Will Give You Free Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream for the First Day of Fall
As if you weren't counting down the days until fall already, beloved low-calorie ice cream brand Halo Top has announced that its fan-favorite fall flavor pumpkin pie will be return to freezer sections nationwide.

Signs You're Obsessed With Fall
All you fall-fanatics have to do is print out the free coupon beginning midnight September 22 to redeem your pumpkin spice-infused flavor complete with pie crust pieces. The coupon can be used in retail stores nationwide, including Walmart, Kroger, and Target, but only on September 22, and it's limited to one per-customer.
