Dogs will be inside Eight Cousins Bookstore next Tuesday, marking the national release of a new novel by Peter Abrahams, a West Falmouth resident since 1982, and creator of the Chet and Bernie private-eye mysteries. The latest release is "The Sound and the Furry," the sixth installment of a series that has been on the New York Times bestseller list. Mr. Abrahams uses the pen name of Spencer Quinn.
Chet is the narrator of the stories, and is different from most detective narrators in that he is a dog. He is not a talking dog as many other pop-culture stories might depict dogs, but perhaps a little more realistic dog. Chet is the sidekick of Bernie, a private-eye, and the pair fight crime.
While not all of his fans are dog lovers, the author said, there are certainly a number of them who are, and for his book tour events, fans are known to bring their dogs.
"I hear over and over from my readers that they're now looking at their dog in a new way," Mr. Abrahams said. "They are wondering what they are thinking."
Carol B. Chittenden, owner of Eight Cousins Bookstore, is excited about the event. She has been sending autographed copies of the new book to fans in Australia.
"Chet and Bernie have been a huge hit nationally," she said. "We do a lot of author events, but it's not very often we have a national launch, especially for an author with a high profile like [Mr. Abrahams]. He's appeared here in the past, but never as his national launch site."
"I hear over and over from my readers that they're now looking at their dog in a new way," Mr. Abrahams said
"Having Chet as a narrator for the stories," said Ms. Chittenden, "is a charming device. Chet can pick up things that Bernie can't, but when a cat goes by, he'll get distracted."
"Chet is a somewhat confused narrator," said Mr. Abrahams. "He's an unreliable narrator, which is a challenge for the writer but makes for an interesting narrator. You get pieces of the mystery filtered through a canine brain. These are classic private eye novels, but it's as though it's being played on an unusual instrument. Maybe Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' played on a slide guitar."
The books are not a children's series, although the author said that the fans he meets at signings are of all ages, from teens to adults. "There's some meat to the series," said the author. "There's darkness in them. Chet can suffer, but he comes back very quickly to his reset place and readers like that."
Draws Inspiration from Falmouth
Falmouth, said Mr. Abrahams, is a place where he has drawn inspiration for his books, notably because it is a dog-friendly place, especially for his two dogs, a golden retriever and Bernese mix and a white golden retriever.
"Dogs like Falmouth too. They can sense it," he said.
Besides the dog factor, Falmouth has had a large influence on his career.
"I've written 28 novels here in Falmouth so something must be right," Mr. Abrahams said. "I like being by the sea and swimming in the ocean. Walking on the beach I get ideas for stories very often."
"But what I like better is that it's a real place. One of the things I'm writing about is people. I meet people of all types [in Falmouth]. I like the town. I raised my kids here and that's a quick way to learn about the whole town and you meet a lot of people."
"The Sound and the Furry" takes place in the bayous of Louisiana, a new setting for the series. The author said that he did a bit of research on the area but generally does limited research for his books. He did research dog vision, however, and said fortunately the science is not quite nailed down, which leaves him with more space to use his imagination. He also makes sure to research any guns involved in the stories, he said, because there are a lot of people who like guns.
Using the pen name of Spencer Quinn for the Chet and Bernie series, Mr. Abrahams explained, was a branding tactic done by his publishing company, Simon and Schuster. His agent said that the first book in the series, "Dog On It," was lighter than his other work, which he said is quite dark. It was also the first time he would write a story in first person, with Chet narrating. "Dog On It" reached number seven on the New York Times bestselling list.
At the reading and signing at Eight Cousins, which takes place at 5:30 PM on September 10, Mr. Abrahams will give pop quizzes about the series and will give the winners Chet and Bernie stress balls.
"He always has some interesting remarks," said Ms. Chittenden of Mr. Abrahams' book events.

Top attorney gives details about how sequestration will affect Arsenal Island
April 16, 2013
Defense department furloughs on Arsenal Island this spring will cost about 4,000 civilian employees three weeks pay, but soldiers around the world won't notice any difference in the supply chain. That's according to Kathy Szymanski, Chief Counsel for the Army Sustainment Command, and other defense agencies on the island.
The employees will be required to take fourteen unpaid days off because of sequestration, and Shuhmanski says each agency will implement the furloughs in ways that make the most sense. For example, this year, construction projects on Arsenal Island will not begin as scheduled. "He's considering no air conditioning for April, May and June. These buildings are old, they heat up. We're probably the only ones in the area who want the weather to stay cold.
Quad Cities companies that have contracts with the Army agencies on Arsenal Island will also feel the pinch of sequestration. Szymanski says, "We have a new IT company, Bowhead, and we are reviewing all our contracts. And we'll descope if we have to."
Corps of Engineers employees will be partially exempt from the federal budget cuts. And Szymanski says military personnel, who are also exempt from furloughs, will help run the defense agencies on Arsenal Island while civilian workers aren't there. In addition, her boss, Brigadier General John Wharton, will work his regular schedule, but without the assistance of all his civilian employees.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- The Spokane City Council said it will consider an ordinance to crack down on bikini baristas that wear less than bikinis.
Councilman Mike Fagan proposed an ordinance that would give the nearly nude baristas a choice to either wear more clothing or move their business elsewhere. Fagan said he wanted to be clear that he has no problem with bikini baristas as long as they are not wearing less than what he fears the public may consider indecent exposure.
"This goes a little above and beyond what the general public needs to be exposed to," Fagan said.
Fagan also pointed to KREM 2 News' own previous story on bikini baristas that made him look into the ordinance.
"The fact that you [KREM 2 News] couldn't show actual footage," Fagan said. He added that he also had the baristas' safety in mind.
The owner of Triple Xpresso said people do not have to visit their stand if they object to bikini baristas. She added that wearing more clothes does not necessarily mean you are more protected from burns.
Councilman Fagan said that there may even be concerns of health code violations as a food and beverage business.
"You need to wear a hair net," Fagan said, laughing. "The only net I see here in this duty uniform is the fish net stocking."
The owner of Triple Xpresso said there are not any coffee stands that follow that policy.
Fagan said for now he only wants to hear from the public on the issue and will wait two weeks before the City Council takes any action. He added that the ordinance would be specific on what parts of the body need to be covered -- for both men and women.
Espresso stands would also not be his only focus, but any business with a similar dress code.

Kinetic Extends NICA Sponsorship in New 2-Year Agreement
Kinetic will continue its support of the National
Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) as a bronze level sponsor for the next two
years, the company announced today.
As part of
the sponsorship, all certified NICA coaches can purchase the full line of
Kinetic trainers and accessories at a discount through a Kinetic retailer in
their area. This program enables coaches to set up an indoor
"practice" facility so the team can get together for a workout
regardless of the weather.
addition to direct monetary support, Kinetic will also host a race warm-up tent
at each race in NICA's 10 leagues where student-athletes can use Kinetic
trainers before their event.
a single NICA race is more than enough evidence to show the value in sponsoring
the organization; there's passion, camaraderie and talent on display in huge
fields of young athletes," said Kinetic Marketing Manager David Simpson.
"We're proud to continue supporting leagues around the country and helping
coaches and student-athletes make the most of their hard work."
As part of
its sponsorship last year, Kinetic created a detailed training section for the
fourth edition of the NICA Coaches Manual to help volunteer leaders provide the
best information to young student-athletes looking to maximize their training.
Kinetic's eight-page contribution outlines the basics of stationary bike
workouts, safety precautions, creative and fun training techniques and race
warm-up and cool-down routines for race-day use.
coaches' manual is available to individuals participating in NICA's coach
licensing program across the country and provides detailed guidance on riding,
training, coaching and other relevant topics essential to creating a fun and
positive environment for adolescent cyclists.
Trainers has been supporting NICA since 2011 and has become an integral part of
high school mountain bike racing," said NICA Executive Director Austin
McInerny. "Of course mountain biking is very much an outdoor activity, but
onsite at an event, there's no better way to warm-up the legs than by spinning
on a stationary trainer with teammates under the direction of a coach, and in
the off-season when the trails are wet and muddy an indoor trainer is a great
way to stay in shape while protecting the natural environment."
has been a leading trainer manufacturer since 1999, with its patented fluid
resistance unit featuring the company's magnetically coupled driveshaft to
eliminate leaks. The company's goal is to help cyclists of all ages reach their
fitness goals with a reliable and realistic indoor riding experience.

SF police: Out of the gray and into the blue
Police uniforms in SF turned blue in 1878 because cops were being insulted as Southern sympathizers
By Robert O'Brien
SAN FRANCISCO — Frequently in research I have come across the phrase "wearing the Gray." It has always been applied to policemen, and has invariably carried with it the connotation of esteem or veneration.
In the newspaper stories of the 1890s, for instance, there occur numerous references like the following: "The strong-jawed, keen-eyed representative of the law knew whereof he was speaking: he had been a wearer of the gray."

If you are a consumer with credit card debt that you cannot afford to pay, you need to actively resist debt collectors, rather than passively wait with your heads in the sand for a credit card summons to arrive. You need to respond to debt collectors, specifically, to their written attempts to collect a debt. Under the FDCPA consumers have the right to deny and dispute a debt and demand docuDenying and disputing a debt that is owed is not a reflection of poor character, but rather a basic legal strategy to force the creditor to prove with documents that the consumer does owe the debt, and that the creditor actually possesses sufficient documentation to win any possible court case. Original creditors, the credit card banks, somewhat surprisingly, and junk debt buyers, especially, have difficulty documenting credit card debt according to a These written demands and debt-proving documents need to be exchanged before a debt collection attorney includes the consumer in his next batch of credit card lawsuits. The first thing a collection attorney does with the next new group of credit-card-indebted consumers , he receives from a bank or junk debt buyer, is send them all a collection notice on legal letterhead to scare them into calling to set up a payment plan. This is a mini-Miranda. It contains the phrase "This is an attempt to collect a debt." There is also the phrase, "This has not been reviewed by an attorney." In other words, it is not directed at any one individual. And by inference, that means the attorney has no specific knowledge on any one debt case. This is THE letter the consumer should respond to with a
deny/dispute/demand documentation letter. This is sometimes called a debt validation letter. [ I avoid that term because not all so-called experts realize the true purpose of the letter, which is to separate in the collection attorney's mind the consumer using it from the less sophisticated consumers like who respond to the mini-Miranda with an improperly worded letter or, more likely, do not respond to it at all.]
Upon receipt of this letter, the collection attorney must respond with some documentation or give up the opportunity to sue that consumer. According to the strong legal precedent, Spears vs. Brennan, the collection attorney cannot ignore that letter and then sue. They must first respond to the deny/dispute/demand documentation letter.
According to that New York Times article, 90 percent of consumers do not respond to a summons for credit card debt (check out my credit card debt relief review) . That is why the collection attorney could be so eager to sue after picking off the low-hanging fruit with his mini-Miranda letter. Also, most courts require an attorney to give some type of notice (In this case, the mini-Miranda) to settle out of court, before wasting the court's time with a lawsuit.
To make it even harder for the collection attorney, a good strategy would be to have a local attorney familiar with local court procedure send that letter to the collection attorney on behave of the credit-card-indebted consumer . Why should the collection attorney bother with all of that from an attorney as well to go after one consumer, when he can continue to more easily pursue the other 90 percent?

Everton Ladies went down fighting as Liverpool took the spoils in the final Merseyside derby of the campaign.
Despite taking a fourth-minute lead through Nikita Parris, Tash Dowie netted a first-half brace to put the Reds ahead.
A stunning Parris strike restored parity just minutes before half-time but, despite the Blues starting the second half the stronger, home skipper Gemma Bonner put Liverpool back in front and Dowie completed her hat-trick to seal a 4-2 win.
Everton's play going forward at times was impressive and never more so than in the opening four minutes.
Some neat and tidy build-up saw the ball end up at the feet of midfielder Jill Scott, who had snuck into the box. She wriggled past a couple of Reds defenders before crossing for Parris, whose first-time shot curled around goalkeeper Rachel Laws and into the net.
But the Toffees had hardly finished celebrating before former Blue Dowie levelled, lifting a perfectly executed lob over the onrushing Rachel Brown-Finnis to make it 1-1.
Scott then had a header hacked off the line before the visitors were dealt a blow when Jody Handley went down injured and had to be replaced by Simone Magill.
Dowie rubbed salt into the wounds by putting her side ahead when she turned home Corina Schroder's pinpoint cross, but the half's best moment of quality was yet to come.
Everton were in need of inspiration to find a way back into the contest and in Parris they found it.
Picking up the ball 35-yards out, Toni Duggan was screaming for a through ball in behind the defence. Instead, having spotted Laws off her line, the youngster drove a quite exquisite lob over the keeper and into the net.
The goal, quite rightly, gave Everton a lift and they started the second period with renewed vigour.
But Liverpool punctured the bubble with a third. From a corner, Bonner rose at the back post to nod the ball across goal and past the dive of Brown-Finnis.
A deflated Everton tried to respond but Dowie headed in late on to bag her third and with that the points were Liverpool's.
The Blues will now face Lincoln in their penultimate game of the campaign at Marine on Sunday.

Oscar predictions 2013: Which movies are likely winners?
Hyde Park On Hudson
Hyde Park On Hudson
The great thing about Hyde Park On Hudson is that it's a period drama about British royal visiting the American president. Ker-ching! The downside is, it's not a brilliant film. That said, Bill Murray's turn as grouchy womaniser Franklin D. Roosevelt could put him in line for Best Actor. While we'd love to see our Olivia Colman up for Best Supporting for her turn as the Queen Mum, that seems like a long shot.
Oscar heat grade: D+

Following the release of more project details at Monday's City Council meeting, the Libertarian Party of Vanderburgh County announced on Tuesday its formal opposition to the proposed downtown hotel project in Evansville.
Based on information from the Council meeting, the proposal seeks to gift $37.5 million of taxpayer dollars in the form of taxpayer debt to a private investor, HCW, for the construction of the downtown convention hotel and meeting space.
"If it is a good idea the developer will be leading this construction effort without taking $37.5 million from the taxpayers," claimed LPVC Chairman Bart Gadau. "The City of Evansville places a tax upon all innkeepers within city limits. Those fees will ultimately help service the debt of a competitor's investment. That doesn't seem right to us."
Gadau further charges that the numbers put forward by the Winnecke Administration that surround this project seem dubious.
"He claims, for instance, that over 800 construction jobs and over 200 permanent jobs would be created. Yet, when pressed by Councilwoman Robinson, HCW representative Rick Huffman admitted he could not give a true figure for the number of permanent jobs this project will create," Gadau continued. "The waivers built into the current agreement offer no assurance that employment would remain anywhere near that lofty 200 mark. Furthermore, there is nothing stopping this out-of-state developer from selling the property after a few years and pocketing our taxpayer dollars."
Gadau finished, "The Libertarian Party platform has long supported free markets, fiscal responsibility and equity under the laws of the State of Indiana. Unfortunately, those interests are easily clouded when our elected officials misrepresent project facts. In its current incarnation, this project proposal should be abandoned. We urge the Council to vote 'no' on funding this project and encourage Mayor Winnecke and his leadership team to make a more concerted effort to find a private developer willing to build a convention hotel on the site using private funds and of a size suitable for the Evansville market."

PUMA Golf has created a selection of custom Neo Classic Pro Type shoes that Ian Poulter is wearing at the Ryder Cup. The Neo Classic Pro Type shoes are the style Ian has been wearing since early 2012 when he made the switch to PUMA Golf footwear.
Ian's custom Neo Classic Pro Types were designed to align with Europe's Ryder Cup outfits. The Neo Classic ProType features PUMA Golf's S2C Pro Chassis, Carbon Fiber Shank and ArchTec medial support; this combination provides the golfer with control, stability and power. The outsole features S2Quill Spikes with Performance INSert System (PINS) along with 130 S2Quill traction quills and 50 molded spikes. The replaceable and molded spikes are directionally molded to ensure maximum grip and superior traction while the PINS system provides improved balance, feel and lateral stability by bringing the golfer closer to the ground. Along with the spikes, the outsole features a full length flex groove as well as 10 forefoot flex grooves and 4 heel flex grooves for improved flexibility during your swing and while walking the course.
The Neo Classic Pro Type in Black/White and White/Black is available at select golf retailers now.

Parents of missing schoolgirl Alice Gross 'devastated' after police find her body
The search for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross is now a murder investigation, police said this morning.
The search for missing schoolgirl Alice Gross is now a murder investigation, police said this morning.
A friend of Olympic athlete Greg Rutherford claims he was denied the right to rent a room in London with his boyfriend because they are gay.
Former leader of the British National Party Nick Griffin has been expelled from the group, it has been announced.
Anyone hoping for ecclesiastical preferment in London should have been at the launch last night of London Witness at the Bishop of London's home, where the bishop, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, revealed his approach to making appointments — never choose anyone who puts himself forward.
Over to the V&A last night, where poet and rapper Akala squared up to National Trust chairman Simon Jenkins about the heritage of London.
So where did Boris go grouse-shooting? As The Londoner recounted last week, the Mayor was seen on a train coming down from Newcastle on September 20 and someone on Twitter reported that he'd seen BoJo on a grouse moor that day. The Mayor's office declined to comment then.
Move over Hilary Mantel — Germaine Greer is turning high-brow Kate-bashing into a competitive sport. Eighteen months after the two-time Booker Prize winner provoked howls of outrage by describing the Duchess of Cambridge as a "shop-window mannequin … designed by a committee, with no personality of her own," Greer has decided to join in the fun.
Who is the enigmatic British playwright who so bewitched Girls creator Lena Dunham? Having managed to get our hands on a manuscript copy of Not That Kind of Girl, the much-anticipated memoir that the 28-year-old was paid $3.7 million to pen, The Londoner was delighted to discover a London mystery within its pages.
While the average British author may be earning less than £11,000 a year, it's good to see that a lucky few are still riding high. The word among chardonnay-swillers in London's literary circles is that journalist Max Hastings — who has been bashing out bestselling military histories for more than a quarter of a century — is set to pen a definitive history of the Vietnam War for his long-time UK publisher HarperCollins. The fee? A cool £750,000.
When Laura Wade's Posh — now adapted for the cinema as The Riot Club — began its theatre run in 2010, it was widely assumed that it was the Bullingdon drinking society that she was skewering. But have the Buller boys been getting an unfair rap all these years?
Now that our kingdom will remain united, what to do with England? Tom Holland, the historian who was one of the leading pro-Unionist voices over the past few weeks, has an idea: take inspiration from Game of Thrones.
Fairy-lights, creeping vines and atmospheric dry ice — at last night's annual Bright Young Things Gala, the backstage of the National Theatre was transformed into a modern version of Titania's forest, filled with glittering stars who had recently trodden the boards there, from Billie Piper, Gemma Chan and the queen of tragedy Helen McCrory with husband Damian Lewis.
Forget the awards — the real reason young men dream of becoming writers, actors and rock stars is the belief that women will be eager to jump into bed with them
Fashion designer turned artist Nicole Farhi held her first exhibition, From The Neck Up, at Bowman Sculpture last night.
The Londoner loves nothing more than a fabulous night on the town. So when former Tory treasurer and hedge-fund king Stanley Fink and his business partner, entrepreneur David Johnstone, launched the annual Global Party in 2011 — promising to host 80 lavish parties simultaneously around the world in 80 countries and raise £3-5 million as a "conservative figure" for charity — we thought the enterprise sounded a delightful marriage of revelry and philanthropy, if a little de trop.
After Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond's gaffe last week — he ruled out air strikes against Syria only to be corrected by Downing Street — The Londoner has been perplexed by the question of why the highly competent William Hague is not still running the foreign brief.
Wim Pijbes, general director of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, recently got himself into hot water back home by declaring that his home city was "dirty, sleazy and too full". Now he's over here in London, politely telling us how to run one of our greatest institutions — the British Museum.
Judging by the way Mario Testino and Kate Moss are looking into each other's eyes, she is still the fashion photographer's greatest muse. The two, who have been hanging out for two decades, were at fashionable oyster bar J Sheekey last night — one of her regular hang-outs, where she was celebrating a pal's birthday.
It's been a busy year for Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. He has been shooting superhero film Avengers: Age of Ultron, while she has been behind the camera directing the Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation. But last night Sam was getting back to her non-movie roots as an artist, launching her exhibition Second Floor at the Saatchi Gallery with Aaron on her arm. The couple were joined by Jemima Khan, designer Charlotte Dellal and model Laura Bailey, who were at the Chelsea gallery to see photographs taken of Coco Chanel's preserved Paris apartment.
Michael Gambon was among the whooping audience who rose to their feet last night in a standing ovation at the first-night performance of Mike Bartlett's King Charles III, in which Charles, stepping up to the throne, stands up for freedom of speech by refusing to sign Parliament's press-regulation Bill.
How swiftly the years fly by! It seems like yesterday that Jack Davenport was playing a struggling twentysomething on This Life; now it seems they're playing him. The 41-year old actor is currently filming Life In Squares, a BBC2 drama on the Bloomsbury set, in which he plays David "Bunny" Garnett, a libertine who married the daughter of his former gay lover Duncan Grant.
As a former member of John Bercow's staff comes forward to claim he was hit by a piece of the mobile phone the Speaker once smashed in a rage, friends would be forgiven for worrying over the bruises adorning Deputy Clerk of the House of Commons David Natzler's face. The Londoner can confirm that although Natzler may feel bruised after Bercow passed him over in favour of Australian Carol Mills to be the new Clerk of the House — though she is yet to be confirmed in the post — he didn't give him a shiner: poor Natzler tumbled off his bike last week.
Farewell to actor Donald Sinden, who died last night aged 90. According to journalist Simon Jenkins he was a man of principles and humour. In 2004, Jenkins was one of the members of The Garrick Club campaigning to scrap the "ties are compulsory" rule but Sinden did not like tradition to be flouted. "He was fierce and conservative," Jenkins recalls.
Good to see that — in a desperate bid to plug the gaping hole in its finances — the privilege-checking Guardian has decided to set up its own digital version of an exclusive and pricey members' club.
KOOZA is an electrifying return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil combining two circus traditions - acrobatic performance and the art of clowning.

A benefit of Governor Rick Scott's $480 million spending plan for teachers kicks in today. Instead of reimbursing teachers, Governor Scott wants to give them money up front on a debit card.
Classes begin next week in Charlotte County. Punta Gorda Middle School sixth grade math teacher, Sandy Asaro, still has some last minute things to do in her room.
"The first day is exciting," Asaro says.
She has already shelled out hundreds of dollars of her own money on supplies for her classroom which the district will reimburse her in September.
With the new spending plan some teachers will receive pre-paid debit cards to buy school supplies for the classroom.
"The money definitely helps to reduce that out of pocket expense, but there is definitely some expense beyond what we do receive as teachers," Asaro admits.
Governor Scott revealed Wednesday the card will also allow teachers avoid sales tax.
The idea has this teacher's attention. "I'm certainly open to new ideas and seeing what they have down the line as the technology changes," Asaro says.
But Lee and Charlotte Counties aren't using the optional cards this year. They'll continue to cut teachers a check saying the current system works fine.
The Lee County School District says waiting until now to give teachers debit cards would not give them enough time to buy supplies before school starts
"The line for the two counters was completely out the door yesterday. We had one wrapped into the next room," explains Craig Deleppo, at The Little Red Schoolhouse where teachers buy a lot of supplies.
He says it would be impossible for every teacher to start shopping today when schools start next week.
Teachers in Lee and Charlotte Counties will get between $180 and $250 for supplies.

Darren Star, the creator and principle writer behind such series as Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, and Sex and the City, offers a satiric look at his own medium in this situation comedy that offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the production of a youth-oriented prime-time soap opera. Hunter Fallow (Irene Molloy), the show's leading lady, is queen of the set and will go to any lengths to keep it that way, while Quentin King (Kohl Sudduth), her male counterpart, is a bit paranoid about his advancing age and the state of his hairline. William Ragsdale and Joely Fisher play Rob Fields and Hope Lustig, the show's producers, who have to keep their ego-driven cast happy while cranking out a show once a week. Grosse Pointe debuted on the WB network on September 22, 2000.

Multifamily construction boosts housing numbers
Housing starts rose 3.6% in October, led by an 11.9% increase in apartment construction. Builders started 41.9% more homes than they did in October 2011.
The pace of new construction rose 3.6% in October, bringing it to its best performance in four years.
If builders keep up at this rate, construction will be started on 894,000 new homes in the next year. While that is way below the number constructed during the boom, it's 41.9% above the number of new homes started in October 2011, according to data from the Commerce Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"Builders are acting to meet rising demand while continuing to exercise caution by pulling a modest increase in the number of single-family permits as the market continues to gradually gain its footing," Barry Rutenberg, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and a homebuilder in Gainesville, Fla., said in a news release.
The boost was driven almost entirely by an 11.9% increase in housing starts for multifamily buildings. The number of single-family homes started was about the same as in September.
Housing numbers have improved in fits and starts in recent months. Builders recorded their highest level of optimism this month since 2006. Sales of existing homes were 10.9% higher in October 2012 than a year earlier.
But a number of challenges remain for both the new-home and existing-home markets. That includes general economic uncertainty, tight credit – which makes it hard for both homebuyers and builders to borrow – and a shortage of homes for sales in some cities, especially in lower price ranges.
Housing starts rose 17.2% in the West and 8.9% in the Midwest and fell 2.5% in the South and 6.5% in the Northeast, which was hit by superstorm Sandy at the end of October.
In a speech Tuesday to the New York Economy Club, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted that while housing was improving, it still faced significant difficulties.
"… while historically low mortgage interest rates and the drop in home prices have made housing exceptionally affordable, a number of factors continue to prevent the sort of powerful housing recovery that has typically occurred in the past," he said, citing tight credit, underwater mortgages and an oversupply of vacant homes in some areas. "Unfortunately, while some tightening of the terms of mortgage credit was certainly an appropriate response to the earlier excesses, the pendulum appears to have swung too far, restraining the pace of recovery in the housing sector."

The use of tablet devices has been encouraged in various educational institutes since the introduction of the Aakash tablet. A few other tablets later followed in the Indian market however a feature that is missing on these devices is rich educational content, and this is where the Attano eBook app comes in to the picture. It is loaded with educational content and is the only app for the Indian market which brings such content to its users who range from kindergarten students to those pursuing higher education.

Gary L. Long, COO, Virtua Voorhees and Marlton Hospitals
"Imagine being a hospital executive who manages the care of tens of thousands of patients a year, but struggles to manage his own weight and fitness. That was my life just a few years ago. I needed a change. The change I needed was right in front of me at Virtua's Center for Weight Management," says Gary L. Long, COO, Virtua Voorhees and Marlton Hospitals.
Unlike other weight-loss solutions, the team at the Virtua Center for Weight Management gave Gary a step-by-step program. He had private consultations with a dietitian and learned why 64 ounces of water is needed each day, and that Greek yogurt has double the protein and half the sugar of his usual fruit-on-the bottom yogurt. Gary also worked out at the Center for HealthFitness, and optimized his workout to burn fat and build muscle.
Were there days that Gary didn't feel like keeping with the program?
"Absolutely. But, I kept myself on track by maintaining a journal of what I ate and of my exercise goals. I also had the guilt factor working – I told everyone at Virtua that I was doing the Virtua Center for Weight Management's program, so accountability followed me everywhere I went," said Gary.
Gary updated his progress with weekly meetings with the team from the Center for Weight Management. Within a year he lost 30 pounds of fat and built 10 pounds of muscle. "I just didn't lose weight, I lost my old habits for a lifetime," Gary explains.
