Has Barack Obama been caught in a lie that could become a major issue in the upcoming election?
During the 2008 presidential election campaign, Obama's camp categorically denied he was ever a member of the New Party, which sought to elect members to public office with the aim of moving the Democratic Party far leftward to ultimately form a new political party with a socialist agenda.
The denial came amid reports of Obama's participation with the party, including several articles by WND.
WND previously reported on newspaper evidence showing Obama was listed as a member of the New Party in the group's own literature.
WND also conducted an exclusive interview with Marxist activist Carl Davidson, a founder of the New Party, who recounted Obama's participation.
In 2010, John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine, recalled speaking with Obama at New Party events in the 1990s.
"When we spoke together at New Party events in those days, he was blunt about his desire to move the Democratic Party off the cautious center where Bill Clinton had wedged it," wrote Nichols in a January 2009 piece published at Progressive.org.
Now, researcher and author Stanley Kurtz, writing at National Review Online today, reports on documentation from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society that "definitively establishes" that Obama was a member of the New Party.
Kurtz reported Obama also signed a "contract" promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office.
In 2008, Obama's Fight the Smears campaign website quoted Carol Harwell, who managed Obama's 1996 campaign for the Illinois Senate, as stating: "Barack did not solicit or seek the New Party endorsement for state senator in 1995."
Fight the Smears conceded the New Party did support Obama in 1996 but denied that Obama had ever joined.
According to documents from the Democratic Socialists of America, the New Party worked with ACORN to promote its candidates. ACORN, convicted in massive, nationwide voter fraud cases, was a point of controversy for Obama during his 2008 campaign for president.
Becoming a New Party member requires some effort on behalf of the politician. Candidates must be approved by the party's political committee and, once approved, must sign a contract mandating they will have a "visible and active relationship" with the party.
If Obama indeed signed the contract, not only would his campaign be caught in a lie but it could prove highly embarrassing for him at a time when he is fighting claims, including from Mitt Romney's camp, that his policies are socialist.
Also, Obama's 2012 campaign slogan of "Forward" has been criticized for its use of a historic socialist slogan.
Socialist goals
The socialist-oriented goals of the New Party were enumerated on its old website.
Among the New Party's stated objectives were "full employment, a shorter work week and a guaranteed minimum income for all adults; a universal 'social wage' to include such basic benefits as health care, child care, vacation time and lifelong access to education and training; a systematic phase-in of comparable worth; and like programs to ensure gender equity."
The New Party stated it also sought "the democratization of our banking and financial system – including popular election of those charged with public stewardship of our banking system, worker-owner control over their pension assets [and] community-controlled alternative financial institutions."
Many of the New Party's founding members were Democratic Socialists of America leaders and members of Committees of Correspondence, a breakaway of the Communist Party USA.
Last month, WND reported on a 1996 print advertisement in a local Chicago newspaper that shows Obama was the speaker at an event sponsored and presented by the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA.
WND first reported on the event in 2008.
Obama listed as New Party member
While Obama's campaign in 2008 denied the then–presidential candidate was ever an actual member of the New Party, print copies of the New Party News, the party's official newspaper, show Obama posing with New Party leaders, listing him as a New Party member and printing quotes from him as a member.
The party's spring 1996 newspaper boasted: "New Party members won three other primaries this Spring in Chicago: Barack Obama (State Senate), Michael Chandler (Democratic Party Committee) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary)."
The paper quoted Obama saying, "These victories prove that small 'd' democracy can work."
The newspaper lists other politicians it endorsed who were not members but specifies Obama as a New Party member.
New Ground, the newsletter of Chicago's Democratic Socialists of America, reported in its July/August 1996 edition that Obama attended a New Party membership meeting April 11, 1996, in which he expressed his gratitude for the group's support and "encouraged NPers (New Party members) to join in his task forces on voter education and voter registration."
The New Party, established in 1992, took advantage of what was known as electoral "fusion," which enabled candidates to run on two tickets simultaneously, attracting voters from both parties. But the New Party disbanded in 1998, one year after fusion was halted by the Supreme Court.

Kursk Root icon
The Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God of the Sign dates from the 13th century, and is one of the most ancient icons of the Russian Church. The icon is commemorated on September 8 and on November 27.
Kursk Root Icon
During the Tatar invasion in the thirteenth century, the city of Kursk was ravaged by the Horde of Batu and fell into desolation. After this, the residents of the city of Rylsk often journeyed to the site of Kursk to hunt wild beasts.
The icon itself depicts the Theotokos "of the Sign" with the Christ child before her. Her arms are outstretched. Above her is the "Lord of Hosts," and on either side and below are nine prophets who wrote about the birth of Christ (clockwise, starting in the top right): King Solomon, Prophets Daniel, Jeremiah, Elijah, Habakkuk, Judge Gideon, Prophets Isaiah, Moses, and King David. The wooden icon is covered with an intricately worked cover of blue and gold.
First miracle
On September 8, 1259, a hunter noticed the icon lying on a root face downwards to the ground. The hunter lifted it and saw that the image of the icon was similar to the Novgorod "Znamenie" Icon of the Mother of God. Just as the hunter lifted up the holy icon from the earth, a strong spring of pure water surged up at that place where the icon rested.
With the help of friends the hunter rebuilt an old small chapel and placed the newly-found icon in it. When news of this spread, many came from Rylsk to this old chapel to venerate the icon and pray about their sorrows and needs. There the Mother of God healed all who came to her icon.
Soon after, the icon was transferred to Rylsk and put it in a new church in honor of the Nativity of the Theotokos. But the icon did not long remain there. It disappeared and returned to the place of its first appearance. The inhabitants of Rylsk repeatedly took it and carried it back to their city, but the icon incomprehensibly returned to its former place that is now on the grounds of the Kursk Root Hermitage. It was realized, that the Theotokos preferred the place of appearance of her icon.
This icon, and the help granted by the Mother of God, is linked with important events in Russian history: with the war of liberation of the Russian nation during the Polish-Lithuanian incursion in 1612, and the 1812 Fatherland war.
Several copies of the icon were made, which have also been associated with miracles.
Troparion (Tone 4)
- Having obtained thee as an unassailable rampart and wellspring of miracles,
- O Most Pure Mother of God, thy servants quell the assaults of enemies.
- Wherefore, we pray to thee:
- Grant peace to our land, and to our souls great mercy.
Kontakion (Tone 6)
- Come you faithful,
- Let us radiantly celebrate the wondrous appearance of the most precious Image of the Mother of God,
- And drawing grace there from, let us cry out with compunction:
- Rejoice, O Mother of God, Blessed Mary, Mother of God!

How Things Work: Cabin Pressure
Why you remain conscious at 30,000 feet
WE HUMANS NEED AIR TO LIVE, so we do best around sea level. Airplanes are at their best up high, where the air is thin and smooth. And therein lies the rub: We invented a machine that thrives where we don't. This became obvious as soon as engine power increased to a point at which aviators could reach altitudes where they lost consciousness.
At first, fliers coped by filling tanks with pressurized oxygen and inhaling the gas through rubber tubes; later, form-fitting face masks made oxygen delivery more reliable. In many high-flying light airplanes and military aircraft, oxygen systems and face masks are still used to keep the pilot alive and conscious.
In 1937, the U.S. Army Air Corps began research flights in a modified Lockheed Electra; the XC-35 was the first airplane built with a pressurized cabin. The fuselage was designed with a circular cross-section to eliminate stress points when the fuselage expanded under pressure. Openings were sealed to prevent air from escaping. Windows were reduced in size and strengthened, and the cabin inside became a pressure capsule—like a big aluminum can—that held five people. In 1937, the XC-35 earned the Air Corps the Collier Trophy for most significant development of the year.
Two years later, Boeing submitted a design to the Air Corps for a long-range bomber, the B-29 Superfortress, which would have pressurized compartments for the crew. And in 1940, Boeing's 307 Stratoliner began flying passengers in pressurized comfort at 20,000 feet. Today all airliners are pressurized, and although the details vary among them, the basic elements of cabin pressurization systems are almost universal.
Air is pressurized by the engines. Turbofan engines compress intake air with a series of vaned rotors right behind the fan. At each stage of compression, the air gets hotter, and at the point where the heat and pressure are highest, some air is diverted. Some of the hot, high-pressure air, called bleed air, is sent to de-ice wings and other surfaces, some goes to systems operated by air pressure, and some starts its journey to the cabin.
The cabin-bound air has to be cooled first in an intercooler, a device like a car radiator that sheds the heat to the ambient air scooped aboard for that purpose. From there the air travels into the airplane's belly, where air packs cool it further using air cycle refrigeration. An air cycle cooler is perhaps the simplest air conditioner ever invented, because it doesn't need a refrigerant as an intermediate fluid to dump heat. The air packs compress the incoming air to heat it before sending it to another intercooler to dump the heat to the outside. The air then expands through an expansion turbine, which cools it the way blowing with your lips pursed results in a cool flow of air. (Test the principle by blowing with your mouth wide open to see how warm the air would be if it weren't compressed and then allowed to expand.)
Now the air is ready to mix with air from the cabin in a mixer, or manifold, that adds the new air to the recirculating cabin air, which is moved by fans. To maintain a comfortable temperature for the passengers, automatic systems regulate the mixture of heat from the engines and cold from the air packs. To maintain the pressure in the cabin equal to that at low altitude, even while the airplane is at 30,000 feet, the incoming air is held within the cabin by opening and closing an outflow valve, which releases the incoming air at a rate regulated by pressure sensors. Think of a pressurized cabin as a balloon that has a leak but is being inflated continuously.
On the ground, the airplane is unpressurized and the outflow valve is wide open. During preflight, the pilot sets the cruise altitude on a cabin pressure controller. As soon as the weight is off the main wheels at takeoff, the outflow valve begins to close and the cabin starts to pressurize. The airplane may be climbing at thousands of feet per minute, but inside the cabin, the rate of "climb" is approximately what you might experience driving up a hill. It might take an average airliner about 20 minutes to reach a cruise altitude of, say, 35,000 feet, at which point the pressurization system might maintain the cabin at the pressure you'd experience at 7,000 feet: about 11 pounds per square inch. Your ears may pop, but the effect is mild because the climb rate is only 350 feet per minute. When the airplane descends, the pilot sets the system controller to the altitude of the destination airport, and the process works in reverse.
The structural strength of the airplane determines how much differential pressure the cabin can tolerate—a typical figure is eight pounds per square inch—and the fuselages of new airplane designs are pressurized and depressurized many thousands of times during testing to ensure their integrity. The higher the maximum differential pressure, the closer to sea level the system can maintain the cabin. Federal Aviation Regulations say that without pressurization, pilots begin to need oxygen when they fly above 12,500 feet for more than 30 minutes, and passengers have to use it continuously above 15,000. On airliners that operate at altitudes well above that, regulations require that everyone aboard be supplied with 10 minutes of oxygen in the event the cabin pressure can't be maintained, which brings us to the dramatic scenario known as explosive decompression.
If the door blew off a jet at altitude, all the air in the cabin would depart very quickly and a momentary thick fog would envelope the cabin as the water vapor in the air condensed instantly. Loose articles would fly around and foam rubber would burst as the tiny air bubbles within it expanded. Within a couple of seconds, oxygen masks would drop down from the overhead panels, and you would have to pull yours toward you and place it over your mouth and nose. The act of donning the mask tugs on a lanyard that starts the flow of life-sustaining oxygen.
If you've been following news reports and have heard that more armed air marshals are flying these days and that a stray bullet would cause decompression, you can stop worrying. The airplane already has a huge hole in it called the outflow valve. And air marshals are reputed to be excellent marksmen.

Wow, it's been quite awhile since I've blogged. Life has surely gotten away from me – but still not a good excuse. I'm grateful that you all have been here, reading my articles for years.
For those of you who aren't aware, I've been coaching actors on their upcoming auditions and jobs. One-on-one private coaching is a critical part of auditioning and it's always good to get another set of eyes on your performance before you take it into the room. Just reach out through email, (email@example.com) and we can set up a date and time to work together in person or through Skype or Facetime. I assist working actors only.
Here come the holidays. For some actors, family time triggers dread. You may be barraged by the litany of questions actors love, like, "What are you working on?" Trying to justify what you do to those who don't quite "get it" is not only tiring, it can be psychologically traumatizing. For me, it wasn't until my parents saw my name on the big screen that they finally had a modicum of understanding of what I do for a living.
I want to help you combat the psychological fatigue in these situations. Go into these gatherings from a secure emotional place. Of course, that's easy to do when you're working. But what about when you're not working? How do you explain to someone who's not in the business what your day-to-day life is and that you don't get as many jobs as you have auditions?
You'll have to quiet that vulture that sometimes crawls up on your shoulder to squawk at you. You know the one. The vulture that tells you you're not talented and you'll never get a job. The one that says you're wasting your time. You've got to come to terms with your inner vulture before you can begin to deal with those around you. Self-doubt can be a killer—especially over the holidays. Remember that what you've chosen to do is be an artist, a storyteller. If earning a living was a quantifier for how talented you are, most famous artists would have never even picked up a paintbrush or a pen to write history's greatest works.
Go back to the reason why you got into this in the first place. Spend a little time in that mental space and remember everything you get out of your chosen path, and own it. Yes, own it. These small changes in your mindset will help you deal with others, because if you feel comfortable about yourself and your choices, their opinions won't matter as much.
Another issue over the holidays is feeling guilty about leaving Tinseltown (or your given acting market). Some say that a sure-fire way to get a job is to buy a plane ticket. Yet, we constantly feel the need to stay in town just in case we get an audition. With self-tapes becoming the norm, all you need is your cellphone and a willing scene partner. (Please don't use your grandmother, unless she's an actor!) There's a great resource called WeRehearse, where you can find a reading partner and also record your audition on the site. All you need is a fast internet connection on both ends.
But let's dig deeper: You have to get out and give yourself some downtime. If you're not refilling your well of life experiences, you're not living fully. Actors need to experience the good, the bad, and the ugly so that they can draw on them firsthand. You need to get out there and see your family and friends; unplug as much as possible. Identify what the important things are for you and plug into them. That could be as simple as volunteering your time, spending more time with your kids or pets, or helping your elderly parents.
From the bottom of my heart, I'm wishing you all a blessed holiday season!

The standard answer has been to blame the patent system: in particular, the Wright brothers put a huge amount of time and energy into trying to defend their 1906 patent for a flying machine against Glenn H. Curtiss and others who were seeking to manufacture planes. The argument goes that both firms put so much time into the patent battles that they lost their focus on actually manufacturing planes. An example of this argument from a 2014 opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal is here.
(Ironically, the Curtiss-Wright company would later be formed in 1929 from the merger of these two firms.)
In "Blaming Wilbur and Orville," Tom D. Crouch reviews a couple of recent books on the Wright brothers and the shortcomings of the Wright Company in the Summer 2015 issue of the Business History Review (89:2, pp. 339-343). He writes:
"That America had fallen far behind Europe in aviation by 1917 is beyond doubt. Every American airman who flew into combat in the "war to end all wars" did so in an airplane entirely designed and almost entirely built in Europe, except for those naval aviators operating Curtiss flying boats in search of enemy U-boats. ...
In fact, while there was much concern at the time, little solid evidence exists to indicate that the patent suits had any serious impact on American aviation. How then are we to explain the fact that the nation that had given birth to the airplane had fallen so far behind?
The answer lies in a 1913 congressional study of aeronautical expenditures by the nations of the world. Germany led the world, with $28,000,000 spent on aviation between 1908 and 1913. France, Russia, Italy, and Austria followed close behind, with England in sixth place with a total national expenditure of $3,000,000 for aeronautics. Having spent only $435,000 for all flight-related activity during that five-year period, the United States was in thirteenth place, behind Japan, Chile, Greece, and Brazil. (All figures are from Aeronautics in the Army, hearing before the Committee on Military Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, sixty-third Congress, first session, 1913.) In addition to official appropriations, several leading aeronautical powers had also established national subscriptions that provided an additional $7,100,000 in private financial support for their aeronautical industries. Once again, Germany led the way, with $3,500,000 in private funds, followed by France ($2,500,000), Italy ($1,000,000), and Russia ($100,000). According to official U.S. government estimates, the other nations of the world had spent a total of $93,620,000 in public and private funds on aviation between 1908 and 1913.
That money was spent on direct purchases of aircraft and engines and on government-sponsored research and development programs. Each of the European powers that went to war in 1914 already maintained sophisticated aeronautical research laboratories. In the United States, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was not authorized by Congress until 1915, and its first flight laboratory was not established until 1917.
In America, ... flying was the domain of aerial showmen out to thrill the crowds at local meets and air shows with old-style pusher biplanes. In Europe, on the other hand, rich prizes were established to promote improvements in airframe and engine technology. Competition encouraged the development of aircraft that could fly higher, faster, and farther. ... With war clouds glowering on the horizon, European nations had invested heavily in a set of new technologies with military potential. Americans, an ocean away from potential conflict, did not see the need to support the embryonic industry. ... [T]he failure of other American aircraft builders to keep up with advances in Europe had little to do with the patent wars and everything to do with a limited market and the low level of public and private investment in flight technology.
I think the overall lesson here is that patents matter, and so do resources expended in fighting over patents. However, a more fundamental determinant of who ultimately wins in market competition isn't about who gets the first patent, but who makes the continual investments in production and in follow-up improvements.

Onne Witjes, A-lusion, has grown to be one of the most valued artists in the hard dance scene over the past decade. The typical "A-lusion" hardstyle sound reached many hardstyle fans around the world. He started his professional career in 2003 and has performed in many clubs around the world and at the most prestigious events such as Qlimax and DefQon.1.
Holland is the number one country when it comes to Hardstyle, but where do you see the US in respect to this. Will it be the second biggest – or biggest market for hardstyle in the future now that Q-Dance enters the market?
Holland is indeed the number one country when it comes to Hardstyle. It all started over here.
Our country has all the right ingredients for having successful events with Hardstyle music. Every event is within driving distance and often features the best Dutch Hardstyle Djs. The genre is in our DNA and is really accepted in our music culture. A lot of people over here grew up with the 'harder' styles of EDM.
It took about 10 years for Hardstyle to be as known as it is now. If Hardstyle will be as big in the US as in Holland, will really depend on how much buzz is created around the genre and the events. The majority of the US citizens haven't even heard of the Hardstyle EDM sound yet. This needs to change of course.
The Internet and media will have to play a big role in growth of the market. It's a great thing that Q-dance enters the US market now. Mainly because of their experience in creating awesome shows and video registration. Many of the readers have probably seen an amazing Qlimax or DefQon show on YouTube.
But of course the US already has other big organizers throwing EDM parties. Q-dance entering the market will probably encourage the other organizers to step up their game. They can't fall behind. Bigger shows, better video registration, more pyrotechnics & perhaps event anthems. And they should program more Hardstyle acts and not only Dubstep, House and Trance. As soon as this happens, I see a big future coming. The population of many US cities is so big, it must be possible to get 5000+ crowds every weekend.
So yes, I do see a promising future for Hardstyle in the US ahead. But it will take dedication and a lot of effort. Let's start by sharing the Hardstyle sound with all your friends!
Share a production trick for making the best hardstyle kick drums.
There are a lot of video tutorials on the Internet about creating the so-called "distortion tail". My tip would be not to focus on that too much. The most important part is the beginning, the sound quality and drive of the kick. Good results in this can be achieved by layering, comparing, eq-ing, compressing and layering again. Also try to play with the phase of the individual layers. Don't try to get the sound from 1 layer. That simply doesn't work anymore with the current kickdrum sound. The warmth of the kick (100 – 400 Hz) is also really important. Don't focus too much on the sub sound as this is fairly easy to replace in the post-processing.

The omicron variant is much less likely than delta to cause long COVID, according to the first large-scale study published about the long-term risks posed by omicron.
But almost 5% of people who catch omicron still experience fatigue, brain fog, headaches, heart problems or other health issues at least a month after getting infected, the study found.
While some researchers found the results reassuring, others say the findings are alarming, given that so many people caught omicron and apparently remain at risk even if they're vaccinated.
"That's scary," says Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, an immunobiologist at Yale School of Medicine who studies long COVID but was not involved in the new research.
"People assume that because omicron is milder that, you know, 'Let's just get infected and get it over with,''' Iwasaki says.
The findings, published Thursday in The Lancet, come from researchers at King's College London who have been tracking thousands of people who test positive for the coronavirus to determine the risk of long COVIDfrom different variants.
"The basic question that we're trying to answer is: 'Is long COVID as common ... in the delta period [as it is] in the omicron period?'" says Dr. Claire Steves, who helped conduct the research. "'What's the risk of going on to get long COVID, given the different variants?'"
The researchers compared 56,003 people who caught omicron from Dec. 20, 2021, through March 9, 2022, with 41,361 people who had caught delta between June 1, 2021, and Nov. 27, 2021, and kept track of their symptoms using a special app.
Those who caught omicron were about half as likely as those who got delta to still be experiencing health problems a month later, the researchers found.
"Thankfully, with the omicron variant, the risk of going on to get long COVID is substantially reduced compared to the delta variant," Steves told NPR in an interview. "That's great news, isn't it?"
It's especially good news because omicron is so contagious that it has infected an enormous number of people incredibly quickly. If the risk had been the same as delta or higher, the number of people ending up with long COVID would have exploded.
The findings are consistent with a smaller analysis released recently by the British government.
But lower risk does not mean people shouldn't worry about long COVID because of omicron, Steves and others agree. The chance of getting long COVID from omicron is 4.4%, compared with almost 10.8% from delta, according to the study.
"The caveat is that the omicron variant has spread very rapidly through our populations, and therefore a very much larger number of people have been affected. So the overall absolute number of people who are set to go on to get long COVID, sadly, is set to rise," Steves says. "So it's certainly not a time for us to reduce services for long COVID."
But for any individual person, the findings do indicate that the risk is sharply lower of both getting seriously ill and of developing persistent symptoms.
The study did not address why omicron might pose less of a risk for long COVID. But Steves and others say it makes sense that omicron less frequently leads to persistent symptoms because it doesn't tend to make people as sick as delta.
"Because of that lesser severity of disease, and also because it seems to be a bit more superficial in terms of the disease ... it's less affecting us in terms of severity of our immune response," Steves says. "And therefore that's leading to less likelihood of long COVID."
Other researchers say these findings need to be confirmed by additional research.
"They just looked at anybody who reported any symptoms over this app. They didn't actually evaluate these patients in a clinic anywhere or collect objective data about them," says Dr. Michael Sneller, who studies long COVID at the National Institutes of Health.
But Sneller says it wouldn't surprise him if omicron is less likely to cause long COVID since it does seem to cause less severe illness.
Some researchers say they hope the findings will correct the misconception that people don't have to worry about long COVID from omicron.
"We're saying, you know: 'You can take off your masks in airplanes. You don't need to be vaccinated anymore to enter a restaurant.' All of these policy decisions are going to increase the likelihood that people get infected with COVID, while there's still a 5% chance of severe chronic illness," says Dr. David Putrino, who treats long COVID at Mount Sinai in New York City. "That's short-sighted and going to create a lot of long-term disability that did not need to exist."

Ah, Florida. It's celebrated as the land of sunshine, snow birds, theme parks, and beaches. This year, it's also considered the hottest state for snatching up foreclosed homes on the cheap.
For deals on distressed homes, look south. According to a new study from the foreclosure-tracking firm RealtyTrac, Florida was home to 8 of the country's top 20 metropolitan areas for highest foreclosure rates last year. By no small coincidence, 5 of the top 10 "Best Places to Buy Foreclosures in 2013" also just so happen to be in Florida.
To come up with its "Best Places"—one of the few "Best Places" lists cities would prefer to not be associated with—RealtyTrac uses data points including the number of months of inventory of foreclosure homes, the percentage of total sales that are foreclosures, and the average foreclosure discount percentage. Tally up the numbers and the hottest market for scooping up distressed properties at major discounts is the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville area of Florida. RealtyTrac summed up the market's top-ranking data this way:
Topping the list of best places to buy foreclosures in 2013 was the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville metro area in Florida with a total score of 394: 34 months' supply of inventory, foreclosure sales representing 24 percent of all sales, average foreclosure discount of 28 percent, and a 308 percent increase in foreclosure activity in 2012 compared to 2011.
(MORE: Want to Buy a Foreclosure? Here's What You Need to Know)
By contrast, overall foreclosure activity nationally appears to have peaked in 2010, and has decreased since then in the majority of U.S. markets. Las Vegas, for instance, was named one of the worst cities for buying foreclosed homes in 2013 mainly because the market has been so hot in previous years; while a whopping 42% of home sales in Vegas are foreclosures, foreclosure filings fell 57% in 2012, and there is "only" a seven-month inventory of foreclosures currently.
With the Orlando-Kissimmee, Lakeland, Jacksonville, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and Melbourne areas of Florida, meanwhile, all have at least 28 months' worth of foreclosed properties for sale, foreclosures account for at least 24% of all sales, and foreclosure activity increased at least 50% last year. These numbers are "good" enough to get them all in the top 10 "Best Places" for foreclosure purchases this year.
So, does this mean that the average Joe in the market for a vacation home in Florida has his pick of cheap deals? Not necessarily. As real estate prices have crept up in recent years, house flippers have returned to the market, eager to scoop up foreclosures and give them a quick, inexpensive face lift before reselling at an easy profit. Small-time investors also face tough competition from huge corporate buyers who have been scooping up foreclosures on a grand scale (think: tens of thousands of homes bought in a few months' time) so that they can be rented and, later, resold when prices rise even higher.
(MORE: House Flipping Is Hot Again)
What's more, some Florida real estate agents say the local markets are more complicated—and competitive—than the RealtyTrac data would lead you to believe. One agent in Miami, ranked #12 in RealtyTrac's "Best Places," spoke with the Miami Herald about the local foreclosure situation:
Anthony Askowitz, a broker with RE/MAX Advance Realty II in Miami, said the reality of the foreclosure market is more nuanced than such statistics suggest.
"The inventory of foreclosures on the market is very low. It's highly competitive right now for a foreclosure or a property put out as a quote 'good deal,'" Askowitz said. "Multiple offers is the norm."

What do you think of yourself? How would you describe
yourself to someone if you were being objective? Would you want to get
to know you if you met yourself walking down the street? Well, it's
time to get under the skin you're in.
I've told the story of the time I was deeply hurt in a
relationship—so deeply I had a party with the devil who served me
Unbelief Tea and Resignation Pie topped with "Why Me?" sauce. Well, the
man got married and divorced. He became a Christian. He came back to
me. I was thrilled.
Then we had a major disagreement. He married someone else
without telling me. (Can you believe he got married on me twice? What
was I thinking?)
Though it took a while, we resolved the past, and today
we're friends. One day when we were having a discussion I jokingly
said, "Oh, no one wants to marry me."
"Why wouldn't anyone want to marry you?" he asked.
I replied, "I don't know."
He came back with: "Yes, you do. Why wouldn't anybody want to marry you?"
That's when the light came on in my head. I couldn't think of any reason why a man with good sense wouldn't want to marry me!
"Actually," I said, "I think I am absolutely fabulous! I
wasn't always fabulous, but I am now, so the reality is that a man
would be a fool not to want to marry me because I am a complete
My friend replied: "Well, there you have it. I thought
you knew that. You would be quite a catch for someone, but if you don't
know it, no one else will either. And men will treat you accordingly."
His comments caused me to pause and reflect. I realized
that lately I had been attracting a different kind of man. I had broken
the cycle of disappointing relationships. I had changed.
That's when it clicked: We attract people who feed off what we think of ourselves. Did you know that?
When I thought I wasn't a great prize, I attracted people
who reinforced that idea in my mind. I didn't feel beautiful inside or
out, so I allowed them to make me feel unattractive.
I didn't feel as if I had any purpose, so I would lose
myself in their pursuits and neglect the call God had placed on my own
I gave my heart away to the undeserving because I didn't
know how much it was worth. I was empty, spent by my efforts to find
fulfillment in external things that would never satisfy.
Scripture says, "He who is full loathes honey, but to the
hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet" (Prov. 27:7, NIV). I don't
think I had any concept of what honey tasted like. It wasn't real to me.
For me the bitter was as good as it got. It was what I
was used to; therefore, I decided I should settle for it. After all,
some man was better than no man at all, right?
Looking back, I see myself as a woman running around with
her heart in her hand offering it to anyone who would have it: "Here,
take my heart. Try it, you'll like it!" Well, who would consider a
giveaway valuable?
Girl, it's time to come to know your worth and make no apologies for it.
Knowing Your Value
How do we get to the place in which our self-worth is intact? And how do we master confidence with grace?
When I address self-confidence and self-worth, please
understand that I'm talking about getting a healthy perspective of your
worth as a woman through Christ.
You are a pearl of great price. If Jesus thought you were
worth dying for, there is no reason for you to believe others have the
right to abuse the life He went through so much to save.
It is important for us to see ourselves as the King sees
us. This can be difficult when we are bombarded by so-called perfect
images via the media. According to them we should all be a streamlined
size 6 or 8. I don't know about you, but I haven't hit those numbers
since high school.
In the Song of Songs, the Shulammite woman speaks with
confidence to her friends in defense of her looks, but she tends to
lose that confidence when addressing the man of her dreams (see Song
1:5-7). Nevertheless, King Solomon sings her praises and pays tribute
to her beauty (see vv. 8-10). Despite what she felt, he saw perfection.
As a result of reading Solomon's dissertation, I have
come to believe the media has misled us. It's not about being
model-thin with waist-length hair and chiseled cheekbones. It's about
being a complete package. This requires giving attention to both the
outside and the inside of our beings.
Cultivate external beauty. The first thing that
arrested the king was the Shulammite's eyes (see Song 4:1). He said
that they were like doves, which signifies that she did not boldly come
on to him. She made a louder statement with her silence by displaying
modesty and humility.
It has been said the eyes are the windows to the soul.
This statement is not from Scripture, but it is true. If you are
harboring any pain, any anger, any distrust, it will come to light in
your eyes.
It is important to clear your heart's deck with God so
these negative things don't become deflectors when you look at others.
Your lips may smile, but your eyes will give your bitter heart away
every time, and no amount of eye makeup can camouflage a wounded heart.
The king also liked his beloved's hair. Women today have
so many options that there is no excuse for not having beautifully
groomed hair.
Don't be above doing whatever it takes to get your head
together—in more ways than one. Hair occasionally had significance in
Scripture. For example, a Nazirite priest's uncut hair was a sign of
his commitment to God. What does your hair say about you?
Solomon mentions the Shulammite's teeth, mouth and
speech. She spoke things that were inviting, that caused him to want to
spend time with her. Though she did not reach out to him, her
mannerisms drew him to her.
Acquire internal grace. In mentioning the
Shulammite's inner qualities, Solomon revealed his heart to her. He
called her his sister, his bride. He treasured her completely, granting
her the same consideration and protection he would give to a sister.
The Shulammite woman was beautiful to the king because
everything about her character was good. The fruits of her life were
things that he valued because they mirrored the fruit of the Spirit
(see vv. 13-16).
You might feel that the Shulammite's standard of beauty
is impossible to attain, but it isn't. It's not about being thin or
about having perfect teeth or great hair! It's about your being the
best woman you can be, inside and out. Work with what you've got.
Dressed for Success
When you've achieved your own personal best, you're going
to feel good about yourself. Your different attitude will attract a
different type of attention. When you're comfortable with you, others
will be too.
When Queen Esther was being prepared as a candi-date for
the king's bride, she, along with the other women, went through a
beauty treatment that lasted for 12 months. They were entering a
different lifestyle. Nothing of their old life was to remain. So they
were treated with scents that delighted the king.
The day came when Esther and the others were ready to be
presented to the king. On this occasion, the candidate for bride was
given her choice of attire.
Esther asked the eunuch, who had been in the king's
employ for quite some time, what he thought she should wear. The other
girls probably picked what to wear based on what had worked for them in
the past. But it didn't work for the king.
Seek wise counsel about what looks good on you—inside and
out. Don't get defensive when others offer constructive criticism; use
it to your advantage, and get free. Don't be afraid to let go of some
old habits and embrace a new line of thought.
Esther listened when the eunuch told her how to dress for
the king. More than enhancing your physical appearance, dressing
reflects the countenance of your spirit.
All the fruit that Solomon raved about with the
Shulammite woman should be evident in your life as the fruit of the
Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit what you should wear daily in terms of
attitude as well as what you should put on your body.
The bottom line is that we can all stand to improve ourselves. Change should be viewed as a positive adventure.
Pleasing the King
Don't consider losing weight, changing your hair or even
finding trendier clothes in order to get a man. Instead, take on each
of these challenges as self-improvement steps toward being the best you
can be for you and for the one who loves you most: the Lord Himself.
Being in good physical shape pleases God because you are
taking care of your temple, His creation. You represent Him every time
you walk out your door.
Trust me, God has great taste. So if you aim for catching His eye, the right man will be unable to resist you.
Beauty is hard work because it comes from within. Too
many of us paint the outside without dealing with the inside, and it
mars the finish every time.
God wants the man He places in your life to love you
inside and out. But as long as your focus remains on you and your
attributes, you will miss it.
The beauty in all of us is not our own. It is only as we
release the beauty of the Lord that we are transformed from ugly
ducklings into exquisite creatures who capture the hearts of those
looking for a safe haven in which to rest.
"From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth" (Ps.
50:2). God is the finisher of our beauty regimen. Without Him we are
mere mannequins standing in the window of life.
No man wants to touch a mannequin, but a godly
woman—that's another story. A man knows that this is a woman he can
trust with his heart. And a safe haven for all he holds dear will
always be the most beautiful sight of all.

A short history of the Earth
From physicist John Baez, a history of the major disasters that happened to the Earth: the Big Splat, the Late Heavy Bombardment, the Oxygen Catastrophe, and the Snowball Earth. The Big Splat is believed to have formed the Moon:
In 2004, the astrophysicist Robin Canup, at the Southwest Research Institute in Texas, published some remarkable computer simulations of the Big Splat. To get a moon like ours to form — instead of one too rich in iron, or too small, or wrong in other respects — she had to choose the right initial conditions. She found it best to assume Theia is slightly more massive than Mars: between 10% and 15% of the Earth's mass. It should also start out moving slowly towards the Earth, and strike the Earth at a glancing angle.
The result is a very bad day. Theia hits the Earth and shears off a large chunk, forming a trail of shattered, molten or vaporized rock that arcs off into space. Within an hour, half the Earth's surface is red-hot, and the trail of debris stretches almost 4 Earth radii into space. After 3 to 5 hours, the iron core of Theia and most of the the debris comes crashing back down. The Earth's entire crust and outer mantle melts. At this point, a quarter of Theia has actually vaporized!
After a day, the material that has not fallen back down has formed a ring of debris orbiting the Earth. But such a ring would not be stable: within a century, it would collect to form the Moon we know and love. Meanwhile, Theia's iron core would sink down to the center of the Earth.

Technical information about this website's accessibility
DigiTickets is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content that is not accessible is outlined below with details of:
- Where it fails the success criteria
- Planned dates for when issues will be fixed
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Some of the colour combinations that appear on our availability calendar can be difficult to view for users who have contrast impairments. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.11 Level AA (Non-text Contrast). Our suppliers plan to fix this by May 2024.
Focused states on links and buttons aren't visible. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.11 Level AA (Non-text Contrast) and 2.4.7 Level AA (Focus Visible). Our suppliers plan to fix this by May 2024.
Navigating the website with the use of a touch assistive touch device is possible, although the user doesn't have the ability to skip sections of the content. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.1 Level A (Bypass Blocks). Our suppliers plan to fix this by May 2024.
Duplicate IDs have been used throughout the website, this can cause issues for users using assistive technologies. This fails WCAG success criterion 4.1.1 Level A (Parsing). Our suppliers plan to fix this by May 2024.
Disproportionate burden
Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data)
The user has no opportunity to review their order data before any form submission is submitted. The use of external payment pages prevents our suppliers from implementing a review page after the payment details have been entered. Directing customers to external payment pages means we have no control over the journey that allows customers to review their data before confirming their order.
We've assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will continue to make further assessments as we look to enhance these features and the website.
How we tested this website
This website was and is currently being tested for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA, and these tests have been carried out internally.
When deciding on which pages to test we went through each page individually and highlighted each section where we needed to make improvements.
What we're doing to improve accessibility
We plan to identify and fix issues according to the timescales shown for each area above.

While your teeth generally take much of the credit for your ability to eat and speak, your soft tissues perform vital functions that you may sometimes take for granted. Most notably, your gums are the protective barrier that keeps infection out and your teeth in. Sometimes having too little or too much soft tissue can make you feel self-conscious, can limit essential oral functions, and can even jeopardize your dental health. Our skilled dentist at Tharp, Klaus, & Kelly Dental Clinic offers customized soft tissue periodontal treatments like frenectomies and gum recontouring in Flowood, MS to gently rebalance and restore your dental health so you can live a functional and healthy life!
For all your soft tissue concerns, we welcome you to seek treatment from our experienced dentist, Dr. Klaus.
Too much gum tissue covering your teeth can make them appear small or short and give you a "gummy" smile look. With care and precision, we'll reshape the gum tissue and remove excess bone around your teeth to restore better symmetry and improve your tooth-to-gum ratio. Soft tissue recontouring, crown lengthening, and gingivectomy procedures rebalance your smile and restore your confidence!
That slender tissue connecting your top lip to your gums or your tongue to the bottom of your mouth are each called a frenulum. If either of these tissues is too restrictive, you may have difficulty speaking or eating leading to a tongue-tie or lip-tie. Receiving a frenectomy in Flowood, MS releases this problematic tissue, freeing you to get full enjoyment out of meals, conversations, and even simply smiling.
Gums receding or pulling away from the teeth leave sensitive roots exposed to harmful bacteria. Gum grafting restores gum tissue where it has receded, usually replacing it with tissue from your own mouth This tissue graft will fuse with your existing gums, alleviating your tooth sensitivity and giving you a consistent and healthy gumline.
