Intense shelling and aerial assaults in northern and central Iraq have struck hospitals and other medical facilities, depriving civilians of much-needed medical care.More >
NEW YORK/GENEVA — Shelling in the Iraqi city of Tikrit on June 13 caused severe damage to a clinic run by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), disrupting medical care for tens of thousands of people recently displaced by conflict in Iraq, MSF said today.
MSF called on all parties to the conflict to respect medical facilities and staff, and to spare the lives of civilians.More >
The Iraqi Ministry of Health and its supporters should improve access to mental health care services for a population still reeling from decades of conflict, political instability, and social upheaval.More >
Amman, August 7, 2009—More than 100 wounded patients have been assisted in the aftermath of a large bomb blast on the outskirts of the city of Mosul in northern Iraq today, said the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).More >
Amman/New York, November 4, 2004 - Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is closing its programs in Iraq. The international humanitarian organization took the decision in view of the extreme risks currently run by aid workers in the country. Given the still considerable humanitarian and medical needs of the Iraqi people, the decision was reached with a great degree of regret and sadness.More >
27 October 2003 - Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) strongly condemns this morning's attack on an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) compound in Baghdad. MSF also wishes to express its deep sorrow towards the relatives, friends and colleagues of those who were killed in the attack.More >

Highwood, Illinois Real Estate Agents
Founded in 1868 by Chicago civic leader William Wallace Everts, Highwood, IL sits atop the Skokie Ravine, which is the highest point between Chicago and Milwaukee, and is just over 20 miles north of the Loop. It is a quiet residential community full of charming homes built from brick, masonry, and stone. Things have quieted down considerably from the days when Fort Sheridan, which lies within the village, earned part of the area the nickname of "Whiskey Junction" due to its taverns and bars and led President Theodore Roosevelt to call the place "the toughest town in America." Today, Highwood is a fine place to live and raise a family, according to Highwood real estate agents. The village has gone through times of peace and turbulence but has sustained itself and is looking forward to incorporating its past and present into its future plans.
Census figures from the year 2000 show 4,143 residents, in Highwood. It is a fairly young community in terms of its populations' age, with the median being 33.7 years old. The average household income in 2005 was $44,100 and the average value of house and condo properties that same year was $314,200. Seven percent of Highwood's population lives below the poverty line. The ethnic makeup of Highwood is largely White (56.6%) and Hispanic (38.2%), but people of many different backgrounds have called Highwood their home over the years. Highwood real estate agents believe that anyone can be comfortable living in such a neighborly place.
Single-family homes in Highwood tend to be solidly built and vintage. There are some of the same types of four- to six-bedroom homes that are found in many neighboring North Shore communities, but there are not as many epic, mansion properties as in other places. The good news is the prices are lower here than in some of the other towns around, in keeping with Highwood's blue-collar past, and that should make it much easier for Highwood real estate agents to match buyers with homes for sale. Prices run from the low-to mid-300's up to just under $1,000,000.
There are a small amount of condo, town home, and duplex properties in Highwood and they run from full vintage rehabs to new constructions put up within the last few years. Unit numbers are low due to the smaller size of the village and Highwood real estate agents urge those shopping that, if they find a home or development that suits their needs, to move on it as soon as possible, as there are only so many homes to be had. Buyers can expect prices from the mid-300's on up to the $900,000 for the largest units. No matter the type of home that buyers live in, Highwood provides a great quality of life with a fine library, recreation center, the Fort Sheridan Golf Club, and part of the Robert McClory Bicycle Path running through the village. There is also a thriving business community here, with everything from banks, galleries, and grocers to antique shops, tradesmen, and doctors waiting to serve resident's needs. Highwood also features some of Illinois' best restaurants outside of the city of Chicago.
Highwood has always been closely linked to its neighbor Highland Park, so much so that the two towns share a weekly newspaper and a school district. Highwood is its own place, however, and has achieved home rule status as of 2007, which gives the town more power to raise funds and pass ordinances, according to Highwood real estate agents. Now that the village is under its own direction, Highwood is ready to move into a new era of self-determination that will, hopefully, see the town blossom even more into the best community it can possibly be.

Boris Badenov is the secondary antagonist in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, Boris and Natasha (1992 film) and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000 film).
Boris and his fellow evil spy, Natasha Fatale, are the arch-enemies of Rocky and Bullwinkle. They both speak with a Russian accent and worked for Fearless Leader. Boris, like many comical cartoon villains, would often create elaborate schemes and traps for his foes, but they would always backfire. He has a black outfit, fedora and small mustache.
Boris enjoys light reading; his favorite book is an anthology of fiendish plans called the Fireside Crook Book. He is also a charter member of the Van Gogh Society, a club whose members collect human ears.
Boris attended USC (University of Safe-cracking) and received his scoundrelship with magna cum louse.

Comments about Platinum Sapphire Halo Diamond Ring with Side Stones (1/3 ct. tw.):
I spent a lot of time looking for a delicate looking halo ring, that would also be durable. Then a sapphire that would be a color I would want to wear forever. This ring was exactly that. The color of the sapphire that my fiance ordered is much lighter in color than what the website had shown. Very much lighter, in all lights. I'm actually happier with how light it is, but someone looking for a darker stone may not have been so happy. I put the photo of the sapphire from the website next to my actual ring. My photo is the darkest it looks. In some lights it looks completely void of color, like a diamond. It's the lightest shade of green in daylight. My ring is a size 4 with a 6.8 mm sapphire. My fiance said the service was fantastic.

Comments about Platinum Sapphire Halo Diamond Ring with Side Stones (1/3 ct. tw.):
I knew I wanted a sapphire as an engagement ring. And we were very happy to find Brilliant Earth, and even happier to find out that their engagement rings were conflict free.
The ring is gorgeous! And sparkles wherever I go.
The only thing I would say, is that it is a lot lighter than what the picture shows. My sapphire is not a deep blue. It looks more light powder blue/violet... It's still a beautiful ring. But I would specify what color sapphire you want when ordering.

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a skillet, saute onion for 5 minutes or until browned. Place in large bowl; cool. Add meats, bread crumbs, 2/3 cup bbq sauce, egg whites and seasonings to bowl; mix very well. On pan, shape mixture into a rounded loaf. Top with remaining bbq sauce.
2. Prepare vegetables: In large bowl, toss ingredients; place around meatloaf. Bake 45 minutes; carefully stir vegetables to coat with meatloaf juices. Increase heat to 400. Bake 15 minutes. Let meatloaf stand 10 minutes before slicing.
I substituted potatoes (white and sweet) for the parsnips. I did not add the chiles. I substituted beef, veal and pork for the turkey and pork. I cut the recipe in half.

The Grifters by Jim Thompson (1963)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It was well written & read, but I never wanted to listen to it because it was so depressing. Everyone sucked & I couldn't find a character to connect to, to root for. Something bad would happen to one of them & my mind just said, "OK, now wander off & die, jerk." They didn't. They kept hanging around being miserable, living for no other reason than dying would have put me out of their misery, so I stopped about 2/3 of the way through. Haven't missed it & don't wonder what happened to them. Couldn't care less.
I didn't think this story of three losers trying to improve their lot made a lot of sense, but that might the characters' fault, not the author. I found it strangely fascinating until the last two pages, where a deux ex machina of a glass bottle creates a heading that would be horrible if it wasn't over the top.
Just didn't thrill me. Left me with the thought the Jim Thompson doesn't end his novels to my liking.
The Grifters is the story of Roy Dillon con-artist specialising in short, quick scams, the son of Lilly, who is a con-srtist of a different type, working on horse betting, long-term scams.
After leaving home and traveling the country picking up money by the time the story kicks in Roy is based out of L.A. having successfully staying in one place long-term while still being able to run his cons. After a near brush with death Roy begins reconsidering his chosen life. At the same time he's dealing with his mother and his sometimes girlfriend, Moira, an older woman who unbeknownst to Roy is also a con artist.
It was interesting to read a noir novel based in the 60's and Roy was the perfect lead character plus two femme fatales. The ending was a great twist and the book was good from start to finish. I would have liked to have seen more of Roy doing his cons though and the whole Carol section was a little odd. It felt like an unfinished idea. I believe they dropped it from the film version and I can understand why. I really want to see the film now, I can't really picture John Cusack as Roy. A good book, worth reading.
There is a reason they call Jim Thompson the Dimestore Dostoevsky; his works really spotlight the moral dilemma his protagonists and main characters face, so I was really looking forward to reading The Grifters; I've seen the movie so I was interested in seen the inner thoughts of the characters. 25-year-old short con operator Roy Dillion suffers an injury when a simple con goes horribly wrong, he finds himself in hospital recovering from an internal haemorrhage. This brush with death has led him to rethink his life, thought his mother Lilly feels like Roy still owes her. She's inattentive and manipulative while trying to care for Roy, but she is also trying to pull off a long con at the race tracks at the same time. Throw in another femme fatale; Moira, Roy's girlfriend who also find out is also a grifter who favours the long con. The three explosive characters make for an interesting and twisted noir story, much to what we have come to expect from Jim Thompson.
I have to admit I do love Jim Thompson's twisted plotting, he captures the pulp feel well while giving it is own flavour of surrealism. While The Grifters is not is most solid piece it does a good job at spotlighting what this author can do, with crime and with is unreliable narrating. The characters are great and they each work well together while making life difficult for each other. His is one of the few pulp authors that break into the world of serious literary while never losing sight of what he does best.
If you haven't read a Jim Thompson book maybe this is a good place to start, it's not as dark or gritty, they characters are great, the plot isn't as twisted as some of his other works and the suspense is a bit watered down. Let's just call this book 'Jim Thompson for beginners' it gives you everything you expect in a Thompson book, just not to the same intensity while making the book approachable and easy to read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679732489, Paperback)Roy DIllon seems too handsome and well-mannered to be a professional con man. Lilly Dillon looks too young--and loves Roy a little too intensely--to be taken for his mother. Moira Langtry is getting too old to keep on living off the kindness of male strangers. And Carol Roberg seems too innocent to be acquainted with suffering.

Preview: Oliver Vernon "Renegade Trajectories" @ Joshua Liner, NYCJuxtapoz // Tuesday, 28 May 2013
Joshua Liner Gallery is pleased to present Renegade Trajectories, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Oliver Vernon. This is Vernon's third solo show with the gallery, and the artist will be present at the opening reception on May 30. Combining elements of landscape painting, figuration, and abstraction, Vernon's practice pushes all of these categories beyond easy distinction, creating a hybrid visual language all his own. "The picture plane is a continuum of give and take," says Vernon, "where positive and negative space give way to each other in rhythmic intervals. Energy oscillates and migrates, initiating changes along the way. And color is a navigational tool to guide the eye through the chaotic scape."
In Renegade Trajectories, Vernon explores this dynamic with twelve medium-sized acrylic on linen or canvas paintings and a suite of twelve ink on paper works. The exhibition will showcase several large-scale paintings, the largest measuring nearly 8-x-7 feet. In the painting Excavation, a jagged cyclone of geometric shapes, architectural elements, and quasi-anatomical forms swirl about a distant horizon, pulling it in or ushering it forth. In the dramatic painting Flashback, this force takes the form of an orange and violet-tinted flood, inundating the picture with a chaotic rush of brushstrokes, graphic patterns, and semi-figurative material. As the artist notes, "These incidents or events take place in worlds within worlds. Everything is whirring with activity as parts of systems engage with other systems in a state of constant flux."
In his works on paper, Vernon's use of Sumi ink imparts an even sharper contrast of forces, of positive and negative space, in black, white, and subtle gray scale. Hard-edged but somehow serene, these pictorial spaces draw viewers into a spiral of connected facets (or dimensions)—cascading flower petals, lozenge forms, pulmonary or lung tissue, honeycomb—giving way to a brightening horizon beyond. Ultimately, the distinctions of figuration/abstraction, figure/ground, are not the artist's primary interest. In all of his work, Vernon is most fascinated by the dynamic interplay between these surreally juxtaposed elements—in his own words, "not the what but the how."
Reception Thursday May 30 from 6-8pm

When to Choose Organic
While some foods, such as packaged organic tomatoes and refrigerated soy milk, cost only a little more than their conventionally grown counterparts (14 percent and 21 percent, respectively), the price of other organic items, such as eggs and packaged fresh spinach, can be almost triple. "Future price changes depend on supply and demand, though prices for organic products are likely to decline as more appear in the market," says Carolyn Dimitri, PhD, of the Economic Research Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
If you're concerned about toxic pesticides and fertilizers, one way to manage the expense is to limit your organic purchases to fruits and vegetables that have the highest chemical load when conventionally grown. The dirty dozen, so called by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization (starting with the worst): peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes, pears, spinach, and potatoes.
It also helps to use a little common sense, says Susan Moores, RD, a nutrition consultant in St. Paul, Minnesota. Buy organic versions of foods whose skins are highly nutritious, and that you're likely to eat. The same goes for fruits whose outer layer you don't tend to remove, like plums, and leafy greens such as spinach and kale that have a large surface area that could be exposed to synthetic pesticide sprays. Conversely, the thicker the peel or rind, as on a watermelon, the safer you probably are going conventional.

I agree with both of you! Raising animals for food uses unheard of amounts of the planets resources so this is not something you can ignore if you truly care about the planet! Don't believe me? Please research this! And alexkoy- being a vegetarian is a great start but if you're doing it because you care about animals then you should definitely consider transitioning in a vegan, the completely cruelty-free decision!

Google to launch Retail Stores
The latest rumor from rumor mill is about Google Retail stores. As reported by Amir Efrati on WSJ, Google Inc. is working on plans to launch retails stores to compete with Apple Inc. and Microsoft. After the Motorola acquisition its a very likely possibility but it may not be a good business decision. Lets look at the this possible decision more closely.
Before evaluating Google's decision lets understand the reasons for Apple's move in the first place and the roots of their success.
Apple Inc. decision to open its retail stores was rooted in their strategy and competencies. Traditionally Apple Inc. core competencies is the art of hardware design. And when they invented the new smartphone industry these devices were virtually unknown and they knew about the new product pipeline coming down road based on their core competencies. At that time Apple Inc. was in dire need of an outlet for showing off their innovation both in hardware and in iOS and retail stores were perfect way of executing the strategy.
Microsoft came along the way with their Surface tablet and tried to imitate the retail store model. Unlike Apple Inc. Microsoft didn't bring much innovation to their showcase. The slapped Windows 8 OS onto Tablet form factor device with little or no additional value. Microsoft stores go pale in comparison to Apple Inc. sales per Sq. ft. By competing with OEM partners, Microsoft is pushing them more towards making Google Chrome OS tablets to hedge their bets. So Microsoft is actually helping Google with retail store and tablet strategy.
Now lets look at Google Inc. plans to start their own retail stores. Traditionally their innovation is in search and software NOT hardware. But Google may think that things changed by Motorola acquisition.Think Again. If Motorola were really good at the art of hardware design they wouldn't in such bad shape to start with. Given that Android OS is free, Motorola would have survived on their own without Google's help. But things could change down the line with time and cash infusion to Motorola division. And the change itself could take 1-2 years. And in the meantime stores could showcase Google Glasses and OEM partner devices just like Microsoft but that isn't going to increase profits from device sales. Given that they already have the largest mobile market share, retail stores aren't going to help much unless they are going to morph themselves into a hardware company. And that is very unlikely.
In my opinion, retail stores strategy would work for a companies that can innovate continuously in hardware and require customers evaluation at each iteration of the hardware design and for every product introduction. And both Google and Microsoft fail these tests and could end up with the burden of managing and investing in retail stores.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I was impatient and did exactly this with Wrath of the Lich King. It may seem like a waste of money, but when you REALLY want a CE copy, but it hasn't arrived yet, you'll find that you also REALLY don't want to be left in the dirt with levelling. Might seems a bit drastic, but if people can fork out God-knows how much for an imaginary horse that sparkles, getting to play the expansion with everyone else seems way more worth the price!

Brian Kelly's Thursday press conference was a pure injury report.
No, really. The five minute, two second newser featuring like two questions that didn't have to do with the injuries the Irish are facing.
Kelly confirmed that senior linebacker Steve Filer is out for the season after tearing his ACL in a freak non contact situation during Wednesday's practice. Filer, a senior, will not play a game at Notre Dame again. Because of that, teammate Darius Fleming will wear Filer's #46 jersey to honor his friend.
The good news on the injury front is that defensive end Ethan Johnson will finally return to the field after being out since the Purdue game on October 1st with an ankle injury. Kelly said there's "no question" Johnson will play Saturday against Maryland.
Kelly also said that Aaron Lynch (ankle) and TJ Jones (head) will play as well.
Center Braxston Cave, lost for the season with a ligament tear in his foot, had successful surgery on Thursday.
Notre Dame faces Maryland Saturday at 7:30 at Fedex Field in Landover, Maryland. Despite being in the Terps backyard, the game is considered a Notre Dame home game. You can see it right here on Channel 16.

Luce Fellows
2014 Luce Graduate Fellows
Christian Kakez-A-Kapend
Christian Kakez-A-Kapend is a Congolese National of Uruund origin. Christian is an ordained elder in the South Congo/Zambia Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church. He received his Diplôme de Graduat in International Relations from the University of Lubumbashi (Lubumbashi, D.R. Congo), Bachelor of Divinity from Africa University (Mutare, Zimbabwe), and M.T.S. from Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University (Dallas, TX). Christian is a first-year Ph.D. candidate at Drew in Theological and Philosophical Studies, majoring in Systematic Theology. He intends to explore the connection between Christology, Soteriology and Ecclesiology in relation to the Tortured. In so doing, Christian hopes to examine how a respectful and critical theological dialogue between western and non-western theological voices can help us envision new and constructive possibilities for assessing the exposition of key theological loci. At the CCGC, Christian and Karen Bray are working collaboratively on the relationship between the CCGC and the Cross Cultural studies program at the Drew Theological School.
Hyun Hui Kim
Hyun Hui Kim is a third-year doctoral student in Theological and Philosophical Studies in the Graduate Division of Religion. Her lived experience of diasporic existence, since she started her studies at Drew in the M.div program followed by her studies in the Ph.D program, has been formative in her interest in "global contexts." Aware of the contradictions in present "global contexts" that have resituated our world marked by transnational and pan-ethnic experiences, but, at the same time, have sharpened borders among races, classes, ethnicities, cultures, and religions, Hyun Hui is enthusiastic about exploring alternative articulations of Christian subjectivity in the aporia of globalization. That is, her academic interests lie in investigating a constructive theological anthropology within an interdisciplinary postcolonial and post-structuralist discourse with broad resonance in the Christian apophatic tradition.
Nam Joong Kim
Nam Joong Kim is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the area of Liturgical Studies at the Theological School of Drew University. His doctoral research project is to explore the role of social justice and preaching in dealing with anti-racism and social transformation in Korean churches as it related to immigration, human rights, and racial issue as an effect of globalization in Asia/Korea. He graduated from Hanshin University in South Korea with the Th.B. degree and the Th.M. degree in the area of Hebrew Bible. He was ordained a pastor by The Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea in 2003. He received the S.T.M. degree in the area of Liturgical Studies from Drew Theological School in 2008. He served as an adjunct instructor one of required courses in preaching at Drew in 2012-2013. He is teaching as an adjunct instructor one of required courses in worship at Drew in 2014. He is a member of the North American Academy of Liturgy (NAAL) and Academy of Homiletics (AH). He hopes that his abundant experiences in academy, ministry, and his personal commitment to developing communication methods and approaches for interfaith liturgical engagement, together with his technological skills can help to further develop the goals of the Center for Christianities in Global Contexts.
Fernando Linhares
Fernando Linhares identifies as a second generation Brazilian-American from Newark, New Jersey. Fernando is a second-year Ph.D. candidate at Drew in the Religion and Society program, majoring in Sociology and interdisciplinary studies. An attorney for over twenty years (as well as former municipal prosecutor and judge), Fernando engages in various forms of prison ministry, explores interfaith restorative justice practices, and focuses on transformative justice approaches as a supplement to criminal justice systems — particularly as a diversionary process to avoid the trauma/stigma of prosecution. He received a B.A. from New York University (Politics), J.D. from Rutgers University in Newark, LL.M. from Pace Law Center (environmental justice focus), M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin (Latin American Studies), and M.Div. from the New Brunswick Theological Seminary (urban ministry focus). Fernando intends to teach (and preach) transformative justice alternatives by emphasizing that correctional and detention facilities are not ancillary, isolated, and segregated communities, but are a central concern to society-at-large (as well as faith-based institutions). This current year he is exploring 'environmental criminology,' particularly how mega-events (specifically the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics, both held in Brazil), affect vulnerable populations, and displaces as well as criminalizes communities.
Michael Oliver
Michael Oliver received his B.S. in Administration of Justice from Rutgers University and M.Div. from Drew Theological School. His areas of interest include theological method, contemporary issues of theological and ethical concern, and poststructuralist philosophy. Michael's work explores the interrelations of and entanglements within these areas, including theology's engagement with liberation and contextual discourses, postmodern complications of this engagement—particularly in feminist, gender, and race studies—and the complex issues of universality and particularity that arise as a result. He has served as teaching assistant for Systematic Theology, Philosophical Resources for Theology, and The Church at Worship: Preaching. Michael also served as the Financial Officer in the Graduate Division of Religion's Student Association in 2011-2012. He currently serves as Adjunct Instructor at Seton Hall University and is the Webmaster for the Theological School and Graduate Division of Religion where he designs web pages and maintains its content.

Whatever the case, the San Francisco Democratic Party now has a new leader: Mary Jung, the first Asian American woman to hold the powerful position and […] [Read More]

Static Multi-Criteria Model of Investing in Innovative Projects on a Set of Coalitional Partitions
AbstractStatic multi-criteria problem of investing in innovative projects on a set of coalitional partitions finding means compromise vector (one or more) of investment programs, where each component is an investment program of the corresponding innovative project. The search of compromise vector is made under coalitional interaction of all participants in innovative projects. In the process of solving this problem several game problems with different coalitional partitions are considered. As the principles of optimality, Pareto optimum, Nash arbitration scheme, Shapley value, compromise solution are used.

I don't know if this is the right place to vent about this, but as a Wolvie fanboy i need to vent somewhere. The beginning of this movie did show promise on sticking with the origins story. Having Ryan Reynolds play dead pool was a great choice. But as this movie went on I felt like it was sloppily mashed together and really belittling to the viewers intelligence. The silver bullet wiping out his memory for example. I felt like they realized they forgot to show Wolverine's memory loss too late and just decided to make a character say "if you shoot him with an adamantium bullet it won't kill him but it will wipe out his memory" to wrap that plot hole up. I cringed at that moment because of how half-assedly they dealt with Wolverine's memory loss. Another example dead pool? What the fuck was that because that wasn't deadpool. Don't mess with characters that have already been created. Especially when they're as loved as deadpool. Extendable swords from his fists and stitching his mouth together, which is deadpools trademark, were terrible ideas. I'm glad these guys didn't make batman because if they did batman would probably fly and have six arms. Anyway nothing against your taste, as an action movie this could have been good. But as a comic book fan it was a slap in the face

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 02/22/13 -- According to the latest forecasts conducted by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), moderate economic growth and still favourable borrowing conditions and demographic trends will continue to support housing demand in Quebec in 2013 and 2014, but not at the same pace as in 2011 and 2012. "An easing resale market and strong supply will translate into lower demand for new homes," said Kevin Hughes, CMHC Regional economist for the province of Quebec.
In 2013, moderate job growth, the continued easing of the resale market and the trend toward the multi-family dwelling will again reduce single starts and translate into a total of 15,000 single-detached homes started in 2013 and 14,600 in 2014. This market segment is still affected by the rising popularity of the more affordable multi-family homes and densification trends.
Fuelled by the popularity of condominium apartments, supply of multi-family dwellings is currently strong. Following three years of sustained construction from 2010 to 2012, market conditions in this market are now easing. Starts of multi-family dwellings will settle back in the coming years. Multiple starts will move to 27,300 in 2013 and 27,600 in 2014.
After holding steady in 2012, sales recorded by Centris® will come in at a slightly lower level this year. For 2013, 75,800 such transactions are forecast. Notwithstanding the overall economic impacts discussed previously, the growing housing stock will sustain sales volumes. As a result, total resales will be back in growth mode next year. In total, over 79,000 Centris® sales are forecast for 2014.
Relatively lower demand for resale homes, combined with rising supply, has taken pressure off price growth in recent quarters and should continue to do so throughout this coming year. With a return to more balanced conditions, price growth in the resale market will continue to moderate in 2013. The average price recorded by Centris® will reach $270,100.
As Canada's national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

"A Perfect Pet for Peyton" book review & giveaway
"A Perfect Pet for Peyton" is written by Gary Chapman and Rick Osborne. Rick Osborne, is a well known speaker and author covering Christian parenting. And Gary Chapman is another well known author and speaker, one I know the best through his "5 Love Languages" book.
"A Perfect Pet for Peyton" is a children's book about two kids, Penny and Peyton, twins, who are celebrating their birthday at Mr. Chapman's Pet Pal Emporium. There Mr. Chapman finds the perfect pet for each child. Each pet fits what that child's "love language" is. There friends are with them to celebrate too and each get a pet of their own. For instance, Sofia loves to give hugs and be close to all her friends. Mr. Chapman explains that her love language is "physical touch" and she receives a French Lop Rabbit named, Snuggles, because she loves to touch too.
The book has lots of neat hidden things and games to do throughout. Lee's favorite was looking for the hidden insects on each page. I loved pointing out each animal and naming them. And with each child in the book we learn about what each Love language is and means. At the end of the book there is a mini quiz to help you determine your child's love language. Lee is only 5 and ended up saying "yes" to every question, which didn't help me. But from what I've seen of her, her languages would be "gifts" and "physical touch". I'm going to be reading "The 5 Love Languages of children" next so hopefully it will help me recognize more of what her languages are and help me figure out Moo too.
"A Perfect Pet for Peyton" is a bit longer book then my kids are use to sitting down for and reading all at once. Lee, who is 5, had no problem sitting though it all as long as we played all the games on each page. But Moo wouldn't last two pages, but she's only 2.5. I would recommend this book for ages 6-12 because of the length. But Moo did love looking at all the illustrations, and I know she understood some of it. This is one book I am happy to have in my library.

2 Super-Growth Trends You Shouldn't Miss at Google
HL is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock price hit a new high of $928 last month, signaling investors' confidence in its future plans. At that level, it sports a P/E of 26 – suggesting that its growth needs to keep up with its valuation. Google's ambitions, though, are huge. Two super-growth trends in mobile, and the new potential revenue they may hold, present sizable markets to match this online giant's big goals.
"High-success consumer products"
In his inaugural Q2 2011 speech, CEO Larry Page declared both Chrome and Android as "high-success consumer products," after Search. Since his bold proclamation, both Chrome and Android have grown from strength to strength, as the graphs below reveal:
Source: Mashable, Google I/O 2013 and Android Mobile Blog.
Source: Google I/O (2013, 2011), Earnings Call, Chrome Event and Google Blog (July 2009 and Dec 2008).
As it stands today, Chrome boasts 750 million monthly active users, while Android has activated 900 million devices. The growth of mobile smart devices has played a big role. Chrome has increased its monthly active users by 300 million since launching its mobile browser last year. Not be outdone, Android has grown to 79.3% market share of worldwide smartphones. When put in context of the estimated 2.4 billion users on the internet, these figures are huge.
But that's not all.
The Google services which tag along with Chrome and Android are starting to harvest the fruits of their dominance:
- According to Global Web Index, Maps, Youtube and Google+ have taken three out of four top positions in the most-used smartphone apps.
- In the recent Google Event, SVP Sundar Pinchai announced that Google Play's revenue per user had increased by two and a half times since last year.
- 88% of Mobile Search Ad clicks have been incremental to organic clicks
The board is set -- the pieces are moving
These significant bets on Android and Chrome are crucial to help the online giant stay ahead of its able adversaries.
According to eMarketer, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is Google's closest competitor for mobile ad dollars. The social network giant recently boasted that 41% of its advertising revenue came from mobile, while is overall ad revenue grew by an astounding 61% year over year.
On the content and app retail front, Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iTunes network generated a whopping $12.9 billion last year, dwarfing Google's entire mobile revenue. Although Apple holds a smaller stake in mobile operating systems, the iPad commanded an impressive 81.3% in tablet web traffic in April, leading to strong content and app sales.
But Google is not standing still.
Google's Enhanced Campaigns provide advertisers with a more complete solution including YouTube, Search, Display and Maps across all devices. While Facebook's 150 billion friend connections offer tremendous viral marketing potential, the collective and diverse scale of Google's services counteroffers an equally strong value proposition for its customers.
Google Play, which was re-branded last year, has overtaken Apple's iTunes in app downloads, and is poised to close the revenue gap with its faster growth. From the Q2 2013 conference call, we learned that Google Play is the main contributor to the 138% growth in Google's "Other Revenue" segment.
Google plus many futures
It may be surprising to learn that Android and Chrome were introduced less than five years ago. Atop their success, Google has been able to add and extend popular services such as Drive, Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Google+. New Google-branded devices such as Chromebooks, Nexus, and Glass help further proliferate these operating systems.
The potential to increase of users of Google services remains significant. Mobile smart device growth is now poised to expand to another 3.5 billion non-internet users worldwide. At the current rate of 1.5 million daily Android activations, it would take almost seven years to reach all 3.5 billion of those people. This vast market space presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a first mover advantage.
With increasing growth rate of Chrome and Android, Google is making bigger strides every day toward dominance into new markets. It is unusual to see a company of its size grow revenues at high double-digit percentage rates, but the size of its as-yet-unconquered markets may just justify that optimism.

It's hard not to gush over Anthony Weiner. He is honest, brilliant, caring and he just married a beauty with President Clinton officiating. On top of all of that , he is a true REPRESENTATIVE in Congress.He has a wonderful temper that he's not afraid to show which endears him to all of us. His actions on behalf of the first responders to 9-11 show that he is very caring about not just his constituents but all of America. I say, loud and clear—ANTHONY WEINER for president!!
i agree with Ms Bayard…
Congressman Weiner has been a long time hero of mine & i feel so very blessed to have him representing District 9 in New York… and could only be made happier to see him representing the entire state someday!
God Bless you Congressman Weiner & Godspeed!

PHOENIX - The Phoenix Suns are trading their jerseys and basketballs this week for aprons and paintbrushes.
The team kicked off its first ever "Week of Service" on Monday, by serving lunch at St. Vincent de Paul in downtown Phoenix.
"We're going to be out here all week doing different things for the community, and showing the people that we care," said former Suns center Steven Hunter.
On Friday, Marcus and Markieff Morris will be painting over graffiti in downtown.
The "Week of Service" also includes stops at St. Mary's Food bank and Central High School.

Where will Minnesota get its best starting pitching?
Right-hander Vance Worley, who arrived in an offseason trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, should benefit from the move to a yard that suppresses home runs, especially to left-handed batters, more so than Citizens Bank Park did. Assuming that a September cleanup procedure on his elbow is the end of his minor health woes, he could be the best thing going for the Twinkies' rotation. He surrenders plenty of contact of the well-hit variety, however, and has been prone to yielding extra-base hits in bunches. The WHIP probably won't be pretty, and he'll probably deal with blow-ups, frequent or not.
Minnesota also projects to lean heavily on Scott Diamond, who for all intents and purposes finished last season as the club's de facto ace. A gain in control for the crafty southpaw was foreseeable, based on his minor league resume, but certainly not to the extent that he made it (1.61 BB/9). A big, looping curveball and his ground-ball prowess may keep the Twins in many games, if he gets glove support. Some probable hit-rate correction and his lack of swing-and-miss stuff warn AL roto players not to tempt fate.
And that about does it for serious - cough, cough - hope in the Twin Cities. Look, righties Kevin Correia and Liam Hendriks, or lefties Brian Duensing and lefty Cole De Vries, or prospect Kyle Gibson, or reclamation project Samuel Deduno, or ... any one of many could surprise. Chances are, only AL-only owners will be interested, though - at least until right-hander Trevor May (the real get in the Ben Revere deal) debuts, which may not be until 2014.

Sep 28 2013: Love is by far the most precious! Love cuts through everything else and leaves a sense of purity, direction, fulfillment, and peacefulness. The many different variations in which love can exist (parent to child, spouse, pets, interests, passions, etc.) make life worth living. We all have someone or something that we love, without it we are just an empty shell.
