USDA Plans Water Projects
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has recently announced funding for projects in 40 states to finance investments in improved water and waste-water systems for more than 200,000 rural residents.
"Rural businesses and residents need access to clean water and modern waste disposal systems," says Vilsack.
"This isn't just an economic issue, it's an issue of basic health and safety. Water and wastewater projects like these help safeguard rural access to a modern, working infrastructure, which in turn ensures a decent quality of life and helps attract – and keep – the best and brightest in small towns across America."
Vilsack notes that passage of a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs bill would help tackle the $2.1 billion backlog of shovel-ready rural water/wastewater projects, and says the bill is vital to rural communities. These are just some of the reasons why Congress should pass a comprehensive bill as soon as possible, he says.
Widespread Impact
In the announcement, USDA is providing $203 million to finance 74 water and infrastructure improvement projects in 40 states. For example, Eagle Butte, S.D., has been selected to receive a $2 million loan/grant combination to upgrade a wastewater treatment system that serves more than 3,000 residents in one of the poorest parts of the state.
In Texas, the El Paso County Water Improvement District #4 is getting a $4.2 million loan/grant combination to install a new water storage tank and nano-filtration system. The project will provide clean, safe water for more than 8,000 residents.
The funding is being provided through USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Program. It will have a significant impact on rural residents and businesses – as it did for people who live and work near Berlin, Md.
At the start of the Obama Admin-istration, USDA Rural Development awarded the town $11.8 million in Recovery Act loans and grants to upgrade its wastewater treatment plant to meet environmental standards. The project had benefits beyond improved wastewater services for local residents and businesses. Sixty-five construction workers, who had lost their jobs just before the town received the Rural Development funds, were hired to work on the project.
The Berlin project is one of nearly 3,900 water and wastewater projects supported with funding authorized by the Farm Bill that Rural Development has financed since 2009. These projects have created jobs and clean water for nearly 14 million rural residents.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment in rural communities. These investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy and rural communities.

Women: Will success leave you lonely?
A new survey says 42% of women think female financial independence alienates men AND women. Why are we still having this conversation?
More than half the women in the United States fear becoming destitute, according to the "Women, Money & Power 2013" study from Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America.
That worry is not limited to those with modest salaries: One-third of women earning $200,000 or more still worried about winding up broke and alone.
But women are socialized to be nice, not showoff-y. Having a tonier job title or a higher salary than your friends might hurt someone's feelings.
Those numbers got a lot of attention from national media and the personal finance blogosphere. But some of the other data disturbed me more.
More than 90% of the 2,213 women surveyed believe they should be "significantly more involved in financial planning" than women have in the past. Yet 42% believe that financially independent females are "intimidating to men and often end up alone," and 31% believe they are "hard to relate to and often don't have many friends."
It's 2013. Why are we still having this conversation?
The survey came out not long after the stir caused by Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg's book "Lean In," which called for women to step up to leadership positions, and after Yahoo chief executive officer Marissa Mayer decreed an end to telecommuting.
Some admired the two executives for their take-charge attitudes and their willingness to make tough decisions, while others criticized what they saw as family-unfriendly policies. The two were also subject to personal attacks, e.g., that they lacked "positive feminine attributes" (huh?) or that they were "neglecting" their children.
In other words: They're intimidating to men, they're hard to get along with, and they probably don't have many friends.
Happily ever after
It's true some super-driven women (and men!) are hard to like. But it's also true that existing friendships change as women (and men) grow in their careers.
Some are too busy to socialize as frequently, or develop a taste for interests their friends can't afford. Both sexes might have to spend more time at company functions and/or cultivating connections.
And making more money than a potential husband? Deadly. Or so we've been told -- and we often play along, according to Annette Lieberman and Vicki Lindner, co-authors of "Unbalanced Accounts: How Women Can Overcome Their Fear of Money."
Women are still "collaborating with the myth that is the basis for the economic lives of middle-class women: that if they remain ladylike and needy, someone will take care of them," they write.
"Because they associate financial rescue, or living happily ever after, with satisfaction of other emotional needs, they are afraid that abandoning the rescue fantasy also means abandoning the possibility of love."
Sure, some men are threatened by a woman with a higher salary. But I'd bet my own paycheck that plenty of guys would be delighted to marry women who pull their own weight in the relationship.
Aimee Johnson, women's program manager for Allianz, notes that a 2006 survey of men asked them whether financially independent women were "less sexy." A majority (78%) disagreed.
"Women feel this way, but men don't," Johnson says.
Significantly more involved
Another persistent stereotype is that women are as bad at money management as they are at math. A fast-growing subset of the financial services industry capitalizes (so to speak) on that perception, according to Helaine Olen's "Pound Foolish: Exposing the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry."
Women's alleged financial incompetence "is used to justify everything from discouraging women from handling their own investments to rationalizing their lack of funds. And it allows more than a few advisers to suggest that women are too in touch with their feelings to manage money effectively," the author says.
Obviously a lot of women use financial service companies to handle their money. (So do a lot of men.) But they shouldn't blindly hand over our funds and they shouldn't allow themselves to be patronized.
"Being talked to like an infant" was one of the gripes from a Boston Consulting Group study in 2009, in which 70% of women noted "subpar" treatment at financial service companies, Olen says. And a paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2012 noted that, among other things, women are considerably less likely "to be asked about their work and financial situations than men." (How can an adviser actually advise someone about whom he knows nothing?)
So yes, you do need to be "significantly more involved in financial planning." Kimberly Foss, founder of Empyrion Wealth Management, has this advice for women: When it comes to cash, quit caring what other people think.
"Being different and making a difference means letting go of needing to be liked and needing to be universally known as 'a nice person'," Foss says.
Easier said than done, obviously. Thus I have two suggestions of my own:
Educate yourself. Read books such as Kate Levinson's "Emotional Currency: A Woman's Guide to Building a Healthy Relationship With Money," or MSN Money columnist Liz Weston's "The 10 Commandments of Money: Survive and Thrive in the New Economy." See a therapist if you can't figure out what's driving your own financial fears.
Break the cycle. Observe the ways that those persistent social mores affect your daughter(s) or any other young women you know. Otherwise you'll reinforce the idea that women are just naturally bad with money but that we shouldn't worry our pretty little heads since one day our husbands will take care of things.
In other words, we'll be telling them that financial responsibility is for other people. That is, it's for men. Or for women who don't mind ending up as loveless spinsters.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros have signed Canadian left-hander Erik Bedard to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
The Astros announced the deal Monday.
The 33-year-old Ottawa native started on opening day for Pittsburgh last season. He went 7-14 with a 5.01 ERA in 24 starts. The Pirates released him on Aug. 28 while he was tied for the most losses in the majors.
Bedard walked 56 in 125 2-3 innings. He did, however, strike out a team-record seven straight batters against St. Louis.
Bedard is 63-64 lifetime in nine seasons with Baltimore, Seattle, Boston and Pittsburgh. He went 13-5 with a 3.16 ERA for the Orioles in 2007, striking out 221 in 182 innings. He has not made 25 starts in any year since then and has been beset by injuries, missing the 2010 season because of shoulder trouble.

Great time! We shall return!
Little Harbor Condo
We just returned from a four day stay. The pictures shown are exactly what the unit looks like. From the furnishings to the flat screen tv's, it's all very nice. We really enjoyed time spent on the back balcony with water views and boat watching. Although We didn't cook the kitchen seemed to be well equipped. We ran the dishwasher (as requested in the rental agreement ) before leaving ( just a few cups/ glasses) and it leaked. I left a note for housekeeping, hopefully it doesn't become a bigger issue. I read another comment about the upstairs carpet and the spots, it does need cleaned but it isn't horrible . Also, the two bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are a little steep The management company was easy to book through. They answered all questions promptly . I'm looking forward to another stay at Little Harbor. .
Great location and view, rental agent very flexible and easy to work with
We recently rented this unit for a family gathering at Little Harbor. Two couples shared this unit, and it worked well. The location is right on the water with great views. The unit was well equipped for preparing meals. We had 4 other family members join us for dinner on 2 nights and the unit had plenty of room. My only complaint would be that some of the furniture is very large for the space (kitchen table, king bed in second bedroom) making it sometimes difficult to navigate. The rental agent was very easy to work with, and flexible with our check-in time since there were no renters in place on our arrival date.

Utah ranked 4th in the nation for the overall well-being of its residents in 2011, as Hawaii kept the top spot for the third year in a row.
The new 2011 rankings come from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which polls thousands of Americans to evaluate their behavior and satisfaction in several topic areas. A score of 100 represents ideal well-being.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Hawaii posted the top score at 70.2, followed by North Dakota at 70.0, Minnesota at 69.2, and Utah and Alaska both at 69.0.
West Virginia residents had the lowest overall well-being score, at 62.3.
Utah was in the top 10 states for its economic confidence index, which is based on how state residents rated the country's current conditions and the outlook for the future. It was number one for being the most Republican state.
The top states in the underlying topic areas include: Alaska for life evaluation, Hawaii for emotional health, North Dakota for work environment, Minnesota for physical health, and Hawaii for healthy behaviors.
Utah's scores on those five subjects included three top-ten finishes.
• Life evaluation. Score: 54.1, national rank: 5.
• Emotional health questions, which probe happiness, sadness and depression levels, among other issues. Score: 80.2, rank 12.
• Work environment. Score: 50.2, rank 5.
• Physical health (number of sick days taken over the past month, disease rates and obesity). Score: 77.9, rank: 17.
• Healthy behaviors (smoking, eating, and exercise habits). Score: 66.3, rank: 6.
Utah also ranked in the top ten for residents' access to basic necessities, including medical care. Score: 85.1, rank 8.
Further details on the surveys' findings are available at www.well-beingindex.com.
Gallup.com will be releasing additional findings this week and next.
• Wednesday: Obesity and chronic disease by state
• Mon., March 5: Well-being iIndex scores by metropolitan area
• Wed., March 7: Obesity and chronic disease by metropolitan area
• Fri., March 9: City optimism by metropolitan area
Gallup, a behavioral science authority, and Healthways, a well-being improvement company, conducted the surveys with more than 350,000 Americans between January and December 2011.

I went to Dr Raphael in Dallas, if interested sent me a message.
Ms Buse there is a Dr. in Portland in found when I was looking, then Dr. Marci Bowers in CA, and Dr. Toby Meltzer in AZ. The one I cannot remember in Portland was only charging 9000 but I thought he must be new at it so I did not go with him.
Who would be good close to Washington State?
SRS surgeon-DR. Yarish currently in Katy Texas
I'm looking for anyone who knows anything about hem & what kind of results he provides
From what I hear he's not advertiseing but has been transgender people for 25 years
Has anybody know anything about Dr. Yarish in Texas ?
Some US surgeons:
San Francisco
San Mateo CA
Beverly Hills CA
Scottsdale AZ
Greenwood Village CO

New Hope PA
Chestnut Hill MA
I'm looking for a good surgeon that's closer to where I live.Does anybody know about surgeons in Colorado ? I'm in Arkansas & don't really want to go to the cost If I can find someone closer.
Ellen, It might be good and cheap, but if there is a problem you would have to spend the $$ to travel over there again. The one reason I picked Dr. Leis is becuse he was 5 hours away. I spent about $18,000 roughly. Hope this help in your decision.
I hear that out of country SRS is of good quality & cheaper but with the added expince of going there added to it,doesn't it come out about the same $ ?
OK Denee, start talking...

Causes | Symptoms | Treatment | Prevention
Bronchiectasis is a rare disease that affects peoples lungs.
With bronchiectasis, peoples airways (bronchial tubes) are damaged:
Bronchiectasis creates a vicious cycle; infections in airway pockets damage your airways, and when your airways are damaged you get more infections.
Bronchiectasis cant be cured, but with the right treatment, most people with bronchiectasis can live relatively normal lives.
People with advanced cases of bronchiectasis can have more difficulty with day-to-day activities.
Bronchiectasis affects adults, children and infants.
Adults usually acquire (get) bronchiectasis after an infection in the lungs, for example, after pneumonia or tuberculosis.
In babies and children, bronchiectasis is often caused by a congenital problem — a problem they're born with, or a problem they develop during birth. The main congenital cause of bronchiectasis is cystic fibrosis.
Bronchiectasis can be caused by many things:
The most common symptom of bronchiectasis is a cough thats chronic (it doesnt go away) and productive (it brings up phlegm/mucus). 90% of people with bronchiectasis have a chronic cough, and almost 80% of people with bronchiectasis cough up mucus every single day.
Bronchiectasis causes people to cough up large amounts of mucus. The mucus is sometimes yellow or green and it sometimes smells bad.
Back to Top
Having bronchiectasis makes it hard for your lungs natural cleaning system to clear out germs, dust and mucus. People with bronchiectasis have to clear their lungs every day, to get rid of germs, dust and mucus. Clearing your lungs helps prevent infections.
The main treatments for bronchiectasis are medications and chest physical therapy. If your bronchiectasis is caused by an underlying disease or infection, your doctor will treat that too. Sometimes people with advanced bronchiectasis get surgery or a lung transplant.
Chest physical therapy is a way of loosening the mucus in your chest. People usually do chest physical therapy while sitting or lying with their heads down (postural drainage). The therapy helps loosen the mucus, and lying with your head down helps the mucus drain away from your lungs.
After youve loosened the mucus, its easier to cough it up. People with bronchiectasis often do CPT and cough up mucus three or four times a day. There are different ways of doing chest physical therapy:
There are also breathing exercises that help loosen mucus.
For more information on bronchiectasis treatment and breathing exercises, please see this page from the U.S. National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
People with bronchiectasis can get flare-ups, times when their symptoms are worse. If you have bronchiectasis, stay as healthy as possible by:
Some cases of bronchiectasis cant be prevented; other cases CAN be prevented by getting treatment for lung infections right away. Getting help right away means there is less chance for long-term lung damage.

[Grinning from ear-to-ear — she's obviously very stoked!]
Singer Katy Perry has made history after shooting to the top of the US pop charts with the fifth single from her album Teenage Dream. The 26-year-old has become the first artist to have five number ones from the same album dominate the US Billboard Pop Songs Chart after her latest tune Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) hit the top spot. The other singles are Teenage Dream, California Gurls, Firework, and E.T. The record was previously held by Justin Timberlake, 30, and Lady Gaga, 25, for their albums FutureSex/LoveSounds and The Fame - which both had four number ones each. If the wife of British funnyman Russell Brand reaches the top of the older Hot 100 list later this week, she will match Michael Jackson's Bad album, which had five top-hitting songs in 1987. [via Splash News]
We're putting the fifth #1 single from MJ's Bad, Dirty Diana, against KP's Last Friday Night — which once reigns supreme? Personally, I think Michael is a god among mortals and is on a whole other platform opposed to Katy, but the charts have spoken. Listen to both singles below and vote for the one you prefer:

This is the third book of the Mortal Instruments Trilogy (although there are more books following this one in the series). In my opinion, it was better then either of the previous books. The characters were much more understandable and the plot was more organized. My only complaint is that the perspectives jumped around a bit, but I still had no trouble following it.

I was surprised how well written this book was. The plot was interesting and the characters humorous. However, I do have several complants. The first of which is the story was slow moving in the beginning, although the second half makes reading the first half well worth it. The characters are not as developed as some books, but certainly better then most teen books. Although I have not read any of the other books of the series, I certainly plan to and highly recommend it

It's been a while since I summarized a lot of things at once, so here goes…
1. Thank you for all the participation in the month of January to herald the release of the latest Starfire Angels novel, SORIEL. It was fabulous reading all your comments and playing the games on the Facebook page. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and that you're all now enjoying the book. Congratulations to all the winners of the many prizes given away!
2. Soriel is now available in all its forms–ebooks and paperbacks. As of this post, it still hasn't shown up at a few retailers, but most of them now have the ebook listed.
3. There is less than a week to enter the Goodreads giveaway of twenty signed paperbacks of Soriel. http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/41430-soriel.
4. One other opportunity to win signed copies is to post reviews wherever you can, then email me the places and dates of (or your sign-in name attached to) the reviews. For each review posted on Soriel before Valentine's Day, I will put your name in the drawing.
5. I am planning to have the sequel to At The Water's Edge available by April 2013. (less than two months away!) Beneath the Crashing Waves needs editing yet, which is why I'm giving a lead time. I always take a break between finishing a project and the final edits so that 1) my editorial assistants have time to do their work on it and 2) I have time to put the final polish on it. You can't rush editing.
6. Something non-writing related: my horse has had problems the last couple of months because of his allergies and a twisted sacroiliac joint. Swapping his stall for a runout pen (he can't be in the pasture due to the round bales fed there) has resolved the allergy issue (unseen mold in the barn). But then he also encountered back troubles, and we have no idea what he did, just that he twisted the SI joint so that it was likely pinching a nerve. Luckily, my chiropractor (a human chiropractor who also works on horses) knows his stuff and, after several adjustments, was able to fix my boy's problems. Just like with humans, it sometimes takes a while for an animal to find complete relief. There will be follow-ups; you can be sure.
Up until two months ago, his problems had all been tiny adjustments in his neck and lumbar back. Now, we've found exercises to help the muscles in those regions hold them in place better. I am also learning the Masterson Method, along with my riding instructor. It looks promising for letting the joints find their own range of motion by releasing tension in the muscles. I think this will help a lot.
In the meantime, I'm hoping my horse and I can finally get back on track with our training. He's had a break for most of the last two months but it wasn't all fun and games for him–he was sore. There's something magical about trusting a 16 hand, 1100+ pound animal to obey the lightest shift of weight or touch of the reins or leg that leaves you empty when you can't experience it. My horse is my dancing partner and I don't need wings to soar when we're working together in harmony.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A woman who got extremely ill after having an abortion 19 years ago testified for the state Wednesday, as it seeks to uphold a new regulation passed last year.
Lena Wood testified before Federal Judge William Conley of Madison, who will decide the constitutionality of a law that requires abortion doctors to have local hospital admitting privileges.
The governor and Legislature approved the measure last July, but it never took effect because Planned Parenthood and the Affiliated Medical Services filed suit to challenge it.
State attorneys say the law is needed to make sure women get continuous care at a hospital if something goes wrong in their abortion clinics. The two plaintiffs say that's happened only a handful of times among thousands of abortions in recent years.
Wood told the judge she had to be hospitalized for 12 days after her 1995 abortion went wrong. She said the doctor who performed the operation never contacted her after that -- and she felt abandoned.
Planned Parenthood attorney Lester Pines tried to convince the judge that Wood had an infection in her urinary tract -- and it was never certain whether the abortion itself caused her illness.

ROTC Sun Devil battalion officer Jonam Russell was killed in action in Afghanistan Tuesday morning while conducting a dismounted patrol in the Wardak Province.
1st Lieutenant Russell graduated Cum Laude from Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business in May 2011, then joined the U.S. Army as an infantry officer.
He was one of the three NATO troops killed in an attack by a suicide bomber on a donkey.
On February 16, Russell tweeted: "heading to Afghanistan today be rolling back around November."
Pictures on his Facebook page show Russell smiling at a base camp in Afghanistan a few months after he was deployed.
According to reports, Russell and the other soldiers were patrolling on foot around 8:30 a.m. when the attack occurred.
Russell was active in ROTC when attending ASU. He graduated with honors and was commissioned in the army the same day.
A memorial service is scheduled tentatively for 10 a.m., July 26 at Old Main on the Tempe campus. The names and hometowns of the other soldiers killed have not yet been released.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer ordered that flags at state buildings be lowered to half-staff until sunset Thursday to honor Russell and again the day when he is interred.
She said Russell's death was a sobering reminder of the daily perils that military personnel face while carrying out their duties.

Apple Is Among This Hedge Fund's Top Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Driehaus Capital Management was founded by Richard Driehaus in 1982 and has since become a widely followed investment manager. Every quarter, the fund files a 13F with the SEC and in this document discloses many of its long equity positions; we like to use 13Fs from notable investors to serve as initial sources of tickers that we can do basic analysis of and decide whether or not they're worth looking at further. Read on for our quick take on five of the largest positions that Driehaus disclosed and compare them to previous filings.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) was actually Driehaus's largest position by market value at the end of the third quarter, with the fund reporting ownership of about 80,000 shares (down slightly from what it had owned three months earlier). Apple's recent correction- which has been attributed to everything from low product sales to investors locking in their capital gains in the high-flying stock at current tax rates- has left it trading at only 12 times trailing earnings even though it is a dominant, growing global company. Billionaire David Shaw's D. E. Shaw had over $1 billion invested in Apple stock at the end of June (find more of billionaire David Shaw's favorite stocks). We think that the pullback has created a buying opportunity here.
The fund also liked Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU), with about 280,000 shares in its portfolio according to the 13F. The company reported very good numbers in the third quarter, with revenue and earnings both up in the 50% range from a year earlier. Of course Baidu, as a Chinese company, faces skepticism from investors as far as the accuracy of these numbers and its ability to continue to prosper in the event of slower Chinese growth. At 23 times trailing earnings, if the company's growth truly is sustainable then it could provide growth at a reasonable price.
Driehaus liked Brazil as well as China, with Petroleo Brasileiro (NYSE: PBR-A) being another of its top picks. The fund owned 1.1 million shares of the integrated oil and gas company which is notable for its position in drilling in offshore Brazil. We'd rather own an oil and gas company which has more diversification, but in the past Brazil has been an appealing growth market and the stock currently trades at only 9 times consensus earnings for 2013 (though this represents strong earnings growth over the next year, with the trailing P/E being 14). Sandy Nairn's Edinburgh Partners had a large position at the end of the second quarter.
Mellanox Technologies (NASDAQ: MLNX), a $3.6 billion market cap semiconductor provider focused on data transmission functions, was another of Driehaus's top picks. It is a growth play: while its trailing P/E is 37, its revenues in the third quarter were more than double what it had taken in a year earlier and this caused a monster increase in earnings. The sell-side's projections imply a forward P/E of 20 and a five-year PEG ratio of 0.3, suggesting that analysts are even more bullish on the company than the market. Investors should note that 13% of the shares outstanding were held short as of the most recent data, but Mellanox might be worth investigating further.
Another of the fund's top picks was DSW (NYSE: DSW), a retailer which sells footwear and accessories in the U.S. Its most recent quarter showed a steep fall in earnings compared to the same period in the previous year despite slightly higher sales. It's another common short target, with 12% of the float held short. At a market capitalization of $2.7 billion it trades at 20 times trailing earnings; therefore, it will need to rebound as a company, and show that it has sustainable growth from that point, in order to prove a good value. We think that we'd avoid it.

Among all these plusses, the Colorado capital's vacancy rate decline is especially noteworthy. After dropping a full 250 basis points last year, Denver's apartment vacancy rate should slip another 130 basis points this year, to 4.2 percent—the lowest level on record since year-end 2000—as household formation and job growth accelerate.
Just consider the metro's forecast for various employment sectors. Last year, area employers added 5,200 jobs, a welcome turnaround from the loss of 66,800 positions over the previous two years. This year, payrolls will rise by 24,000 positions, or 2 percent, an admittedly modest but positive step forward. The professional and business services and education and health services sectors have accounted for the lion's share of jobs created in the past 12 months, though growth has also resumed in previously hard-hit sectors, including trade, transportation, utilities, and manufacturing.
Despite the job growth, for-sale housing remains out of reach for a large share of renters. While Denver home prices held up relatively well through the downturn compared with other major metros around the nation—and the current median price rests within 10 percent of the peak achieved in early 2006—extremely tight mortgage underwriting standards and higher down-payment requirements have limited the flow of apartment renters to homeownership.
As a result, the apartment market recovery that initially took root in close-in submarkets will broaden to harder-hit areas, such as Aurora and Arapahoe counties. Overall, however, the entire Denver metro is benefitting from these trends, which will continue to carry into the next few years, thanks to low new supply numbers and renewed attention by investors.
Construction Drought
At the heart of much of Denver's fundamentals is the considerable slip in new apartment construction in the city, with 2011 completions forecast to fall nearly 90 percent below the metro's 10-year annual average. Developers have begun to ramp up efforts in the metro, but with a few apartment projects proceeding after lengthy delays and the majority of those that are under way scheduled for delivery beyond 2011, new supply will remain very limited for at least another six months.
NOTABLE: Colorado is the only state in U.S. history to turn down the Olympics. In 1976, the Winter Olympics were planned to be held in Denver, but 62 percent of Colorado's voters chose not to host the Olympics because of the cost, pollution, and population boom it would cause. Colfax Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America. Colorado, which means "colored red" in Spanish, contains three-quarters of the country's land area with an altitude above 10,000 feet.

By year's end, apartment completions in Denver will total fewer than 500 units, down from the approximately 2,340 apartments brought on line in 2010, which includes a 328-unit project in the Denver-Far Southeast submarket that was completed in the first quarter of 2011, and notably lower than the average annual addition of 1,930 units delivered over the past five years.
While more than 12,950 units have been proposed or planned for the Denver metro, construction is slated to commence on just a few projects over the next year. Furthermore, multifamily permit activity remains more than 80 percent below the levels recorded just three years ago, creating expectations for limited apartment construction in the near term.
In the Denver-South/Glendale submarket, no new complexes are under way. A 213-unit property at University Boulevard and Evans Avenue represents all of the construction currently planned in the submarket, though no groundbreaking dates had been finalized as of press time.
Still, since Denver-South/Glendale remains short on supply, renter demand surged in that submarket last year, laying the foundation for even stronger operational improvements this year. Last year's gains were supported by robust absorption activity: Between the first quarter of 2009 and the same period in 2010, almost 5 percent of the submarket's vacant units were leased. This healthy demand was generated by employers such as Kaiser Permanente Consolidated Services replacing workers laid off during the recession, with many newly re-employed individuals debundling into separate rental units. The metro's foreclosure activity in the single-family market, too, will remain a major driver of renter demand, while a lack of construction will continue to benefit owners of standing inventory into next year.
Michael Hoffman is a VP of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services and regional manager of its Denver office.
Investor Promise
It's not just renters and property managers who find Denver attractive these days, but investors, as well. Overall, the metro's transaction velocity increased 50 percent during the most recent 12-month period, though it remained roughly at half the level achieved in 2007. The median price softened modestly through the recession but also increased modestly over the past year, to $64,700 per unit, nearly on par with the pre-recession peak.
For the most part, cap rates average in the low– to mid–6 percent range, down 100 basis points from early 2010. The compression can be attributed to strong buyer demand and a surge in large-property sales as REITs/institutions have left the sidelines. Rising occupancy rates and prospects for healthy rent growth will continue to encourage investors to target value-add properties and repositioning opportunities, such as better-quality Class B assets that can be upgraded to capture above-average rents.

Investor demand for distressed listings remains strong, but the shortage of available supply is encouraging more investors to bid on performing assets in traditionally sturdy locations. The limited number of distressed properties on the market will also curb price discounting as fierce competition for short sales and REO listings pushes values to well above initial list prices. Only a few newer, higher-quality distressed properties traded recently, and banks will wait for more significant improvement in occupancy and rents to dispose of these reclaimed assets. As unsatisfied demand for these deals migrates to the traditional apartment investment market, cap rates for strong-performing properties, particularly those in close-in locations or near public transportation, have begun to decline. The most sought-after high-quality assets closed at cap rates in the 6 percent range early this year, considerably lower than marketwide averages in the low– to mid–7 percent spectrum.
With strong numbers in so many metrics, the future of Denver's multifamily housing market looks bright.

What's the best diet to keep you healthy through the years or, better yet, reverse health problems caused by decades of poor eating habits? The debate seemed to be settled in February with a landmark study showing that the Mediterranean diet — which includes fat from olive oil, fish, and nuts, and a moderate amount of wine — led to 30 percent fewer heart disease deaths, strokes, and heart attacks than a low-fat diet in people over age 55 who hadn't yet developed heart disease.
Nutrition researchers who had been extolling the virtues of "heart-healthy" monounsaturated fats and fish oil for decades felt vindicated. But those who had previously demonstrated that very low-fat diets with no vegetable oils or animal fats can help manage diabetes and reverse heart disease weren't convinced. The control group in the Mediterranean diet study, which was supposed to follow a low-fat diet, didn't actually adhere to the principles of low-fat eating, they said.

The R-MC Speaking Center is primarily a peer tutoring facility. Trained students
help other students with presentational or small group communication. These trained
students, however, are not experts. They can view oral communication objectively;
they have a higher level of sophistication with regards to presentations and group
work than the average student and, therefore, are peers who can offer generally
good advice. But their expertise is limited. They know that. Both their clients
and the faculty need to know that.
Peer tutoring is limited in what it can achieve. If a student is severely deficient
in oral communication skills, the Speaking Center can only help a bit. Such a student
should be advised to enroll in a speech communication class.
However, peer tutoring has a marked advantage over tutoring by experts. Students,
especially those who are highly oral communication apprehensive, can relax in the
less threatening atmosphere peer tutoring provides. They can approach a practice
without the fear of the expert's evaluation. And, no matter how "nice" faculty are,
faculty have an aura that can transform a low-risk practice into what students perceive
as a high-risk one. So, we choose peer tutoring, not because it's more economical,
but because it facilitates practice sessions that are beneficial.
The Speaking Center is located on the second floor of the Neville House on East
Patrick Street (across from the main entrance to Haley Hall). To reach the Center,
come up the main stairs and turn right. Services for students with disabilities
are also available by indicating the need at the time an appointment is requested.
The Speaking Center is staffed by a trained group of peer consultants. Hours are
announced at the start of each semester, and online appointments are available by
following the links on the HAC website.
The Center consists of three separate spaces:
Consulting Space where Speaking Center tutors/peer consultants can meet with
students who need help finding a topic, generating material, or organizing the material
they have. Resources—books, handouts, the SAC website, other schools' SAC or Speaking
Center websites—are also available in this space.
An Individual Studio where students can practice high-tech and low-tech oral
presentations. Their practice run can be videotaped. They and peer consultants will
sit down together, view the tape, and discuss how the presentation might be improved.
A Group Studio where group communication activities, be they group presentations
or discussions or meetings—can be videotaped. Group members and peer consultants
can then view the tape and discuss how the presentation might be improved or how
the group might work better as a discussion group or a task group.
Tutors/consultants can help students with the following:
Finding a Topic for a Presentation
Generating Ideas
Organizing Ideas
Practicing; Receiving Feedback
Practicing Group Work; Receiving Feedback
Most sessions will probably be practices. For these, whether they are for individual
presentations, group presentations, or group work, the student/s will be videotaped.
Then, the tutor/consultant and the student/s will watch the videotape together.
Just watching should alert the student/s to what he/she/they do well and do poorly.
That viewing will also serve as the springboard to the tutor/consultant's critique
and advice.
The Speaking Center is managed by Theodore F. Sheckels, Director of Speaking Across
the Curriculum. In this capacity, he is available to consult with faculty on any
aspect of oral communication instruction. Call him at 7288 or e-mail him at email@example.com.
Dr. Sheckels can help faculty incorporate oral communication into their classes
in ways that meet their courses' goals (in addition to improving communication skills).

Have a Question?
Q: What brought you to Steinhart Aquarium?
A: In 1972 every university on the coast wanted an oceanographer. After completing my dissertation at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, I taught briefly at UC San Diego and then pursued a post-doctoral fellowship in Eastern Australia. While diving off the coast of New Guinea I received a telex: "Steinhart Aquarium director drowns. Position open. Are you interested in a job?" In 1973, I became the youngest guy on the staff, and the head of the staff.

Running Scared: Fear, Worry & the God of Rest
In Running Scared, Edward T. Welch reveals God's plan for encouraging those in the grips of fear.Browse other titles by Dr. Ed Welch
One of the haunting dilemmas of the human condition is that fear is "an inescapable feature of earthly life." Every person who has lived on this earth has encountered fear. Tragically, for this reason our race for the good life finds us all too often 'running scared.'
In his new release, Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread.
Welch encourages readers to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is afraid of something). Within the framework of thirty topical meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment, thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.
This comprehensive primer on the topic of fear, worry, and the rest of God will have readers retreating to scripture for invariable constancy, stalwart care, and robust comfort, instead of as Welch terms it, "hitting the default switch" by responding with characteristic human independence, control, and self-protectiveness. Running Scared affirms that, through Scripture, God speaks directly to our fears:

Have a generator? Maybe you only think so
March 4, 2014
So you have a generator sitting in your garage. When was the last time you serviced it? Ran it? Tested it under a load? Did you have an electrician install or check out the connections for it? Maybe you don't really have a generator that will help you in a power outage, you have a hunk of metal taking up space. And remember, when you test your generator and run it for real, move it out of that garage or other enclosed space. Carbon monoxide kills.

| Penny Fitzgerald
| Character Information
Penny Fitzgerald is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is an antlered peanut who is in Miss Simian's class at Elmore Junior High. Gumball and Penny have massive crushes on each other, but the two of them struggle to express their feelings. She was part of the treehouse girls' club, before it disbanded due to the tree being cut down.
Penny is an anthropomorphic peanut. Like the rest of her family, she has a set of antlers growing out of her head. Her body is a sort of shell, although, what she looks like underneath this shell is not currently known, though, there are quite a few theories. Since she has a shell, it is covered in various holes through which her arms, legs and antlers stick out.
In Season 2, the design of Penny's shell has been altered. Previously, it was straighter and shaped more like her father's shell, but now, it is curved to resemble her sister's and her mother's. Her antlers are also darker and smaller.
Penny does not normally wear much clothing, aside from a pair of orange sneakers, and some red and white arm bands. However, she is often seen carrying white pom-poms.
Penny is very nice and friendly. She sticks up for her friends often, implying she has a strong sense of integrity.
She is one of the few people to understand Gumball, whom she has a crush on. The feeling is mutual, but neither of them have ever had a chance to properly express their feelings, despite that it's clearly evident.
She has represented independent signs of getting annoyed on occasion, like becoming angered (even resorting to deception) to her father in the episode "The Knights," when he forbid her from seeing the Wattersons, and tiring of the conflict between Gumball and Tobias in the same episode. But, she is exceedingly grateful and ecstatic when Gumball saves her from accidentally getting hit by her father's vehicle, and relieved when she realizes her father is okay as well, showing that she is self-sufficiently forgiving and caring.
She also seems to be athletic, as she is a very good cheerleader, and was/is part of the synchronized swimming club. Also, in "The Dress," she was one of the first people to finish running around the track.

- Penny is apparently allergic to peanuts, which is very ironic because she is a peanut.
- In Project Exonaut, Penny is available as an exosuit for 1,000 coins.
- As seen in "The Club," Penny is enrolled in the synchronized swimming club that also includes Darwin, Leslie, and a dog.
- Early in her development, she had darker antlers.
- In "The Flower," it is revealed that Leslie is her cousin.
- In the upcoming episode "The Shell," she will be seen without her shell.
- The episode was originally planned for Season 2, but for fiscal reasons, it was moved to Season 3.
- Given that Penny is a female peanut with deer-like antlers, her design could be a pun on doughnut (since she resembles a "doe-nut").

While I was out driving one day, my truck broke down in the middle of the highway. Luckily I was able to get the truck to the side of the road and avoid an accident, but I was still stranded out there for a while until a tow truck came and got me home. I use my truck for everything, and without it, I had to take the bus everywhere until I had enough money for repairs. I looked for shops that did truck repair in Rockland County NY for help.
I hadn't rode the bus since I was a teenager, and many things have changed since then. When I was younger, they used to accept change and dollars for currency.

Two mail handlers from The Journal News reported finding a suspicious powder in a package addressed to the media company's White Plains headquarters Friday afternoon, police say.
The package was opened inside a vehicle parked in the White Plains Library parking garage at 100 Martine Ave. A mail handler reported the incident at the White Plains Public Safety Building next door at 12:23 p.m., said White Plains Police Commissioner David Chong.
The vehicle, a Cadillac, was quickly secured and will be towed from the lot, impounded, and searched at another location.
"We are going to conduct the search of the vehicle in a safe environment, we are not going to open the car and remove that powder inside the public parking lot," Chong said.
Two mail handlers who possibly came into contact with the package requested to be decontaminated, Chong said, and that process is underway.
The package was addressed to The Journal News' White Plains office at 1133 Westchester Ave., Chong said. The mail handlers said they had picked up the mail at another location and decided to open the package in the parking lot, Chong said.
The Journal News has been at the center of an international firestorm since its publication Dec. 23 of a map and database with names and addresses of gun permit-holders in Westchester and Rockland counties.
The powder discovery is the second of its kind this week. The paper had a story on its website, LoHud.com, on Wednesday about another suspicious envelope with powder in White Plains. The powder was determined not to be a threat, according to the article.
The Journal News has been on a heightened state of awareness since, on Dec. 23, it published a controversial interactive map showing the names and addresses of handgun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. Putnam County officials announced this week that a similar request for data in their county is being denied. Rockland officials called on the newspaper to take its report from the Internet and vowed to fight to make gun permits private records.
The paper also reported threats to police in White Plains and Clarkstown, according to stories from Patch and The Rockland County Times. The paper also hired temporary security guards for its White Plains and West Nyack offices, its publisher confirmed to The New York Times, following a Rockland County Times story of the presence in West Nyack. The paper's small bureau in Mount Kisco does not appear to have guards.
Local bloggers and commenters continue to weigh in on the issue on Patch.

MADISON, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Wisconsin football team is ranked at Number-21 in both major national polls released today. The Badgers moved up from 23rd in both pre-season rankings – the A-P media poll and the U-S-A Today coaches' survey.
The Badgers crushed Massachusetts 45-to-nothing on Saturday in coach Gary Andersen's first game at the U-W.
Alabama remains at Number-One in both polls. Wisconsin will play at Ohio State on Saturday night, September 28th. Ohio State and Oregon remain second-and-third in the coaches' poll, while the media elevated Oregon to second and dropped the Buckeyes to third. All three schools are at 1-and-0.
The Badgers host Tennesse Tech this Saturday.
