After a lot of research, we chose to stay at this Residence for 3 nights to visit the Eugene area. We were very happy with our choice.
First the hotel location is great, right next to a park and walk/bike path along the river. Also, right around the corner from the mall and plenty of shopping and restaurants. Football stadium is just down the street, and downtown Eugene is right over the bridge. Perfect.
The hotel is like new with very clean and nice rooms and common areas. Workout room is a bit on the small side, but will suffice for a short stay, especially with so many outdoor options nearby.
The staff was very friendly and efficient from front desk (Manny) to housekeeping and breakfast attendants. Speaking of which, the included breakfast is very good, with hot items like eggs, sausage, and make-your-own waffles.
Would highly recommend this as the best hotel in Eugene!
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Travelocity, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Marriott, Priceline, TripOnline SA, Odigeo and Tingo so you can book your Residence Inn Eugene Springfield reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

SINGAPORE and MCLEAN, Va., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ: CYRN), a leading provider of cloud-based security solutions, today announced it was named the recipient of two Stevie® Awards in the first annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. The recognition follows the company's recent stream of partnership agreements with software vendors, service providers and distributors throughout the region.
The cloud-based CYREN WebSecurity solution was named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the "New Technology Product of the Year" category. Additionally, CYREN received a Bronze Stevie Award as "Technology Company of the Year."
The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the first business awards program to recognize achievement in business in all 22 nations of the Asia-Pacific region. They are the newest of the Stevie Awards programs, which are widely considered to be the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in the workplace in programs such as The International Business Awards for more than a decade.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for "crowned," the awards will be presented to winners at a gala banquet at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, South Korea on May 30. More than 300 nominations from organizations across the Asia-Pacific region were considered this year in 18 categories.
Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 50 executives around the world who participated in first-round judging the week of April 14. A second international panel of judges will choose five Grand Stevie winners from among the Gold winners in early May. The Grand Stevie winners will be announced at the May 30(th) banquet in Seoul.
"We are delighted that the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards have debuted with such a stellar group of winners," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. "We look forward to celebrating the winners and presenting them their awards at the gala banquet in Seoul on May 30. We extend our most heartfelt congratulations to all of this year's Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners."
Details about the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards and the list of Stevie Award winners are available at www.asia.stevieawards.com.
About the Stevie® Awards
Stevie Awards are conferred in five programs: the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, The International Business Awards, The American Business Awards, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business, and the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. A sixth program, the German Stevie Awards, will open later this year. Honoring organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognize outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

Under the curvy staircase, an antique French table with worn painted wood was updated with a new marble top. A dark banister and steps provide striking contrast.
Under the curvy staircase, an antique French table with worn painted wood was updated with a new marble top. A dark banister and steps provide striking contrast.
Dining Room
To define the perimeter in style, painted white wood floors are bordered in silver-leaf stripes.
Dining Room Details
The dining room chandelier from Dennis & Leen is frosted with intricate beadwork, which sparkles in the light.
Home Office
A Lucite desk provides transparency and allows attention to be focused on the silver-leaf harlequin pattern on the floor.
Kitchen and Breakfast Room
The contemporary tone of the breakfast area complements the streamlined kitchen. Leather armchairs from West Elm surround an oval table. Vintage French posters from the Covens' art collection decorate the walls.
Powder Room
Along with its black marble sink surround and painted black-framed mirror, the handsome powder room features a whimsical tree-patterned wallpaper.
The French-style Chicago home was built in 2010.
My interiors can handle an old master just as easily as a modern abstract," says designer Gail Plechaty.
Family Room
Filled with furniture from the Covens' former home, the family room demonstrates how pieces with classic lines can find purpose anywhere.
Master Bedroom
The master suite is steps from nature, with a terrace accessible through French doors. "Whether my clients are inside in front of the fireplace or out on their terrace, they have plenty of private space where they can sit, talk, and read," says Plechaty.
Master Bedroom Detail
Antique prints by Auguste Rodin frame a unique mirror in the master bedroom. The bench is upholstered in a creamy fabric by Nancy Corzine.
Dressing Room
Painted soft gray, the dressing room features mirrored doors and a stainless-topped island.
Master Bathroom
Silk window panels, a crystal chandelier, and a framed charcoal drawing give the bathroom subtle opulence.

Re: Pre-order promotions. Gotta be honest -- no promotion would entice me to preorder 99.99% of games. That said I'd assume most people would prefer Y% off where Y is fairly steep number. Although I realize you can't price match Green Man Gaming, to the consumer they are effectively your competition. If they can offer 35% off a Steamworks title discount you probably aren't going to beat them for sales unless you offer at least 25% off coupled with some promo coupon, etc.
I'm in this boat. I've preordered exactly two games in the last three years, and both of them had sub-$20 launch prices. I'm not the target demo for preorders.

Gather up your Family, Friends and those close to your lives and join us this Sunday evening from 7-9pm CST when we will be introducing you to OUR Family....those people who ARE American White History Month and Prepared To Take America Back, AWHM's Sister Site.
Folks, this will prove to be the show that will finally and convincingly DEFINE who we really are, what we actually believe in, who and what we stand for and why it is that our family felt so strongly about these issues, that we've made it our Life Mission to finally speak out about these very real problems and these very real threats.
Allow us to dispel the MYTHS that are so prevelant about us....because we are NOT racists, we are NOT about hate or rage against other races, nor do we even want a month set aside in the year to celebrate and recognize white heritage. We seek to correct these problems by having already begun the creative development and implementation of programs which are designed to legitimize our quest for equality and freedom of expression, while urging members of ALL races to be proud of their heritage. On this show, we will discuss, in great detail, those very programs, so please tune in.
Joining me, your Host and the Voice of American White History Month and Prepare To Take America Back, James Royster, will be none other than Marshall Nicely the Founder of AWHM and PTTAB and Roxy Lady who, together, have spent the past 3 years breathing life into these two organizations. PTTAB, as this show will explain, is the political voice and sister site of American White History Month.
We'll speak with you then. May God Bless you all and may God Bless America!
Call In Number is (347) 637-3768
The Great Hate Debate - American White History Month Debates the Haters!
WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO CALL (347) 637-3768 AND INTELLIGENTLY DEBATE WITH US ON OUR SHOW THIS SUNDAY (9/21/14). We have a very special evening lined up and planned for you on this show because we are going to take calls from groups and from people who would have you think and believe that we at American White History Month are nothing more than a group of racists. The truth will DEFINITELY come out in this show, folks, because it will be an UNCENSORED and HEATED (though civil) DEBATE with left-winged, liberals and/or groups who actually believe that they will be able to prove that we are who THEY say we are and not who WE say we are.
I'm James Royster, your Host and the Voice of American White History Month and Prepare To Take America Back and I'm here. personally, to tell all of you Liberals and White Haters out there that I am sick and tired of hearing you whine and cry about how WE are racist when YOU, in fact, are the worst kind of racists. You make ME sick and furthermore, you make the WORLD sick. You spread your disease of Godlessness through everything you touch but WE will not be deterred in our speaking out against your faithless, immoral, downright reprehensible agendas.
Dont miss the show this Sunday evening from 7-9pmCST right here on the American White History Month Radio Talk Show!

Please join James Royster and Austin Collins, your hosts, for candid, robust, open and uncensored discussions about why we formed American White History Month and how you can get involved in the great and noble cause!
The First Amendment And A Stroll Through American History
Today's show is inspired by a piece on Charisma News concerning the misunderstanding of our First Amendment and especially that pesky establishment clause and notion of "separation of church and state". But it also comes down to something that I enjoy getting into because so much of our history is covered up, forgotten, or not brought up. More than likely unless something big happens in the news that I feel like I absolutely need to talk about, this will be a series of shows going forward, as some of the information, which is by no means all the information available, that I would like to present is very valuable and will indeed stretch over several shows. It may even hopefully stretch out into "good government God's way", as I believe if we practiced good government God's way, we wouldn't have anywhere near the messes that we have today that have built up over these many years. So buckle up and settle in for some references and examples going back hundreds of years and some going back even only 30-40 years as we take a ride down History Lane together, starting today at 4:30 PM and archived later.

Posted November 28, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Toronto Maple Leafs are the first NHL team worth $1 billion, according to Forbes magazine. The Leafs, who have not won a Stanley Cup since 1967, are worth $250 million more than the next most valuable franchise, the New York Rangers. The Montreal Canadiens are worth $575 million. Least valuable of the 30 teams are the St. Louis Blues at $130 million and the Phoenix Coyotes at $134 million. The Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings are worth $276 million, 10th overall. Forbes says the NHL's total revenues were $3.4 billion for the 2011-12 season. With the players locked out by owners, the NHL already has canceled 422 regular-season games.

On Wednesday, it was announced that Kevin Williams was voted by his teammates to be the recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.
Kevin Williams is an eleven year veteran of the National Football League who has spent the entire time with the Minnesota Vikings. During his tenure, he has amassed some impressive statistics. Here are some of the highlights up to this point:
167 games played (most by any Vikings DT)
- 5 interceptions (tied NFL record for defensive lineman)
- 4 defensive touchdowns (tied franchise record)
- 456 career total tackles
- 59 career sacks
- 7 forced fumbles
- 13 fumble recoveries
- 66 passes defended
Here is how the Ed Block Courage Award is given according to the official Ed Block website:
Each year, the Ed Block Courage Awards honors those National Football League players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. This award is unique in that the recipients are selected solely by a vote of their teammates. Every fall all thirty two teams conduct a vote which results in each team selecting their Ed Block Courage Award recipient for the year.
The Ed Block Courage Award recipient symbolizes professionalism, great strength and dedication. He is also a community role model. With this honor, he enters into an association which contrasts his fierce profession by becoming a major component of the Courage House National Support Network for Kids. He becomes an Ambassador of Courage for victims of abuse, violence and neglect.
The Ed Block Courage Award recipient will be identified as a team player in helping abused children and families in crisis.
The Courage Award has become one of the most esteemed honors bestowed upon a player in the NFL, especially since the recipient is selected by his peers.
Congratulations to Kevin Williams on winning this prestigious award.

Despite the theme of disaster yet again at this year's Nuit Blanche it was smooth sailings with very little casualties.
I would love to thank SAW Video, Christopher Rohdes, Kenneth Wrner, Adam Brown and Michael Caffrey for their amazing, over-the-top support and "that's what she said" comments. A team that will be hard to beat!
Best of luck to Brendan de Montigny and the wonderful PDA projects, where I gave an artist talk, the gallery's very first!
And, last but not least, thanks to everyone that came out to get freaked out. I love you, each and every one!

Lollapalooza Report: Sunday [Amy Phillips]

Saul Williams [5 p.m.]
Photos by Kirstie Shanley
As Saul Williams' band took the stage, I overheard a couple behind me talking.
Him: "Should we stay or should we watch Flogging Molly?"
Her: "Are you kidding? Just LOOK at that guy!"
It was unclear exactly which guy she was referring to: the guitarist in a sil ver space suit, the keyboardist in a sleep mask and Dracula cape, or DJ/percussionist CX Kidtronix, in red and gold hockey pads resembling armor. No matter. Along with Williams, who entered after a hero-welcoming buildup wearing Aladdin Sane makeup and brightly colored plastic feathers in his hair, the ensemble delivered the sartorial highlight of my Lollapalooza weekend. And that was even before Williams' daughter Saturn showed up to sing and dance in a tutu. Additionally, somebody had handed out feathers like the ones in Williams' hair to audience members before the show, increasing the spectacle.
Sometime between 2004's underrated Saul Williams and last year's Trent Reznor-assisted The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! Williams decided that being a slam poet with rock star tendencies was way less fun than being a rock star with slam poet tendencies. This was a wise decision. In concert, his Bomb Squad-esque walls of noise and aggro chanting go down much smoother when hitched to a futuristic glam aesthetic. (Not so smooth: Williams' cover of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday". Saul Williams can do many things. Singing is not one of them.)
After commenting about the fact that Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails were competing for Lolla-goers' attentions later that night, Williams said, "My whole purpose is creating music where you don't have to choose." And, against the odds, he has succeeded. In his review of NiggyTardust , Nate Patrin wrote, Williams " is one of those rare artists who justifies the notion of a hip-hop/rock interchange in a post-nu-metal world." But when watching a sea of white kids with feathers in their hair go apeshit to the shuddering "List of Demands (Reparations)", middle fingers in the air, it seemed like the most natural thing in the world. Rap-rock, black rock, Afro-punk: why are these things so difficult to pull off, so difficult for people to wrap their heads around? Why aren't more artists like Saul Williams capturing the public's attention?
Gnarls Barkley [6:15 p.m.]
Photos by Joseph Mohan Top: Cee-Lo Bottom: Danger Mouse
Gnarls Barkley might come across as a good time party band, but most of their songs are about depression, insanity, self-doubt, and other such party-pooping topics. It was the melancholy side of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse that stole the show at Lollapalooza, eclipsing the early evening chill-out vibe. To answer the first question on everyone's lips when it comes to a Gnarls Barkley gig ("What were they wearing?"): Prep school uniforms for the backing band, mustard-colored sport coats over boating whites for the two main men. Vampire Weekend, watch your backs! The outfits plus the band's bouncing and frugging during upbeat numbers like "Run" and "Smiley Faces" leant the proceedings an air similar to the Nirvana "In Bloom" / Outkast "Hey Ya" video trajectory.
But the party was just not getting started. These "fun" songs felt labored, like everybody was trying too hard-- except for Danger Mouse, who looked like he'd rather be in a recording studio as he hunched over a keyboard or organ or glockenspiel (for the Violent Femmes cover "Gone Daddy Gone"). Cee-Lo danced a bit and exhorted the funky people in the house to make some noise, etc., but he didn't seem completely comfortable. Introducing mega-hit "Crazy", he said wearily, "you've probably heard this song."
When things slowed down, however, it was a different story. Cee-Lo's voice is a formidable instrument, a wheezing yelp that almost doesn't seem human. For the beginning of the mournful "Who's Gonna Save My Soul?", the rest of the band departed, leaving just the two Gnarls principals on stage. Backed only by Danger Mouse's organ, Cee-Lo was given room to stretch out and display the true power of his pipes. They followed with a cover of Radiohead's "Reckoner". It might not seem like it would work on paper, but when Cee-Lo grabbed hold of that gorgeous melody, I got chills.
Mark Ronson [7:15 p.m.]
Photos by Joseph Mohan. Top: Mark Ronson Bottom: Rhymefest
Mark Ronson sure is a nice guy. He gets a plum Lollapalooza slot, right before Kanye, and he gives it away to his friends. This was the last show on his tour in support of Version , his lackluster (yet hugely popular, at least in Britain) 2007 collection of R&B/soul covers of primarily indie rock tunes, featuring a different guest vocalist on every track. Big stars like Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams put in work on Version , but they were nowhere to be found at Lolla. The most famous face on stage was Ronson himself.
After introducing his huge band (string section, horn section, drummer, and conga drum player) with an instrumental medley of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Maxïmo Park's "Apply Some Pressure", and trying unsuccessfully to get the crowd to sing along with the latter, Ronson brought out some guy named Tiggers to murder Britney Spears' "Toxic". It was deadly...until Rhymefest showed up to save the day. Filling in for the late Ol' Dirty Bastard, who raps on the Version take on "Toxic", the Chicago MC amped up his hometown crowd with his electric stage presence. By the time Rhymefest dove into the crowd, the audience was eating out of his hand. Though it was rumored that a Kanye appearance was imminent, the man never showed, even when Rhymefest launched into their collaboration "Brand New", from his overlooked 2006 album Blue Collar .
But as soon as Rhymefest left the stage, a charisma void set in. Liverpool songstress Candie Payne filled in for Lily Allen on a cover of the Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God", perennially unlucky Neptunes collaborator Kenna butchered Ryan Adams' "Amy", though he had better luck with his own "Out of Control", and Australian crooner Daniel Merriweather sucked all the bile out of the White Stripes' "You Don't Know What Love Is". Then it was time for an instrumental version of Coldplay's "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face", anchored by a trumpet playing the lead melody. Ugh.
For some reason, Ronson gave the largest chunk of his set to Philadelphia hipster rap duo Plastic Little, who blew through M.O.P.'s "Ante Up", Ronson's "Ooh Wee" (what, Ghostface, Nate Dogg AND Trife were all busy?!), and their own "The Jump Off". They didn't leave much of an impression.
After all that, it was actually a relief when Alex Greenwald of pop-punk band Phantom Planet stormed the stage in true rock star fashion. Though his and Ronson's cover of Radiohead's "Just" is dreadful, Greenwald knows how to work a crowd, throwing his mic stand around, jumping into the pit, and climbing scaffolding. Greenwald brought the rest of Phantom Planet on stage for a run through their hit "California" (aka "The O.C." theme song) with Ronson on piano. As a huge sucker for that song (and anything related to "The O.C." in general), I have to admit, it was pretty sweet.
London soul singer Tawiah took Amy Winehouse's place on the Zutons' "Valerie", and sound-wise, you couldn't tell the difference. Then everybody came out to dance and clap along with Daniel Merriweather's take on the Smiths' "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before".
To be honest, I gotta hand it to Mark Ronson. The whole thing was a huge clusterfuck, the music was mostly terrible, and the crowd didn't know the words to songs that might have been huge hits in England, but barely registered here in America. But Ronson himself came across as goofy and likeable, just a big dork who throws genre distinctions to the wind and wants all types of pop music to be friends with each other. Sure, it was cheesy. And I'd never in my life prefer Ronson's versions of these songs to the originals. But Ronson's enthusiasm was infectious, and I couldn't help grinning.

Besides Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1, also releasing today is openSUSE 12.1 Milestone 5. This openSUSE release is in preparation for the Nürnberg-based distribution having its official release in November. Among the features for openSUSE 12.1 is integration with the systemd manager and the GNOME 3.2 desktop.
Highlights for openSUSE 12.1 Milestone 5 include further work on migrating from InitV to systemd (in openSUSE 12.1 systemd is only being made optional while the default switch will occur in the next release), the GNOME 3.1.5 development desktop, and glibc 2.14. This is also the last openSUSE milestone release shipping with the Oracle-provided Java binary. All future openSUSE releases will carry the GPL'ed OpenJDK Java package following some recent Java changes by Oracle concerning its official version.

DIY Toolkit: Essential Tools For Minor House Repairs
It takes time to build a complete DIY toolkit. Start with the essentials, and build on your collection as you take on new projects. Eventually, you will become proficient at a wide range of DIY home projects - and your toolkit will reflect this (as will your wallet, considering the money you will save on hiring someone to do it for you!).
Hammer: From hanging a picture to replacing wall molding and millions of DIY projects in between, a hammer is probably the most-used tool there is. Don't choose just any hammer. Select a claw hammer – a hammer with a claw on one end for pulling nails and prying material – with a flat peen (the surface which drives nails) rather than rounded.
Tape Measure: Many home repair and improvement tasks require a tape measure. Get aretractable tape measure, which is made of a rigid metal and snaps back into the case when you push a button. For most jobs, a 25-foot tape measure is sufficient.
Carpenter's Level: With a good level you have a straightedge for cut lines and a tool to tell you if an item is flush (straight up and down) or level (perfectly flat). Don't let the store's selection overwhelm you – a basic 4-foot bubble level, which uses air bubbles inside a liquid-filled cavity, is basic but dependable.
Carpenter's Square: Get both a speed square, which is hand-held, and a larger framing squarewhen possible. Squares are great straightedges, tape measures and right-angle testers.
Utility Knife: Whether you call it a box cutter, razor knife, or any of several common terms, a utility knife is a DIY tool essential. Your utility knife makes quick work of slicing through drywall, carpet, linoleum, rigid foam insulation and many other materials. Keep a supply of razor blades in the knife's hollow body.
Flashlight: From peering underneath your foundation to working in the dark to restore power to your breaker box, your flashlight will shed some light on various tasks.
Screwdrivers: If you plan to limit your DIY ventures to basic carpentry and fixture installation, a handful of screwdrivers will get you started. Choose both Phillips-head screwdrivers (which have a cross-shaped tip) and flat-head screwdrivers (with a knife-shaped tip). More advanced repairs may require different heads. To save money, consider a multi-bit screwdriver with interchangeable tips.
Pliers: If you need to pull staples, cut wire, or loosen tight connections, pliers will help. Look for three basic types: needle-nose pliers (which have a pointed end), side-cutting pliers (which look much like scissors) and adjustable flat-nose pliers (aka flat-head pliers).
Wrenches: When pliers won't get the job done, look for your wrench. Grip or remove pipes, nuts, bolts and other stubborn household items. Start with a set of adjustable crescent wrenches for all-around usefulness.
Staple Gun: A staple gun comes in handy for installing faced fiberglass batt insulation, hanging plastic sheeting and other projects around the home. Manual staple guns require a little more muscle but eliminate the need for electricity.
Drill: Once you have a drill, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one. From simple tasks such as hanging curtains to more complex jobs like replacing wood flooring, a drill – cordless or not – makes it easier. A cordless drill is more convenient but has a limited battery life.
Saws: Two basic saws will see you through most general DIY home projects. First, select ahandsaw for places where you don't have power or for situations where a power saw just isn't practical. Next, decide on either a table saw or a circular saw. A table saw is sturdy and makes cutting boards and other material easy. However, a circular saw is portable and hand-held, making it more convenient. When you're ready for a new saw, consider a jigsaw or reciprocating saw.
Stud Finder: A stud finder will help you quickly find the framing members in your walls, ceiling and floor.
Orbital Sander: Small enough to easily control with one hand, an orbital sander is perfect for basic work. Keep a supply of sandpaper, of various grits, on hand.
Ladder: Depending on the jobs you anticipate tackling, you might prefer a stepladder instead of an extension ladder. Extension ladders are useful outdoors and reach higher, but stepladders work inside or outside.
All of the tools in the world won't help you if you don't have accompanying supplies. Keep wood glue, superglue and caulk in your supplies. Add an assortment of nails, screws, bolts and nuts to your tool collection as well. Don't forget tape: masking tape, electrical tape and duct tape in particular. A heavy-duty extension cord is essential. Your collection will continue to grow over the course of your DIY adventures.
Factors Affecting Mortgage Interest Rate Changes
There's more to the cost of owning that dream home than the price the seller is asking for. The interest rate on your mortgage loan affects the price and how much you'll pay every month to your mortgage company.
Comparing mortgage interest rates is important because they may change daily, and different rates may be associated with different types of loans. With variable-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages, it is understood from the outset that the loan's interest rate will change over time, becoming higher or lower depending on the current economic climate.
Let's look at why mortgage interest rates fluctuate so frequently.
The Federal Reserve System ("The Fed"), although considered our country's central banking system, is independent of the federal government. In essence, the Fed controls the movement of money throughout the U.S. financial system.
The Federal Reserve System is composed of a Board of Governors and 12 Federal Reserve Banks, spread throughout the country. The seven members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and four other reserve bank presidents serve on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the policy-making body that determines, among other things, the interest rate charged to commercial banks.
The FOMC controls inflation by tightening or loosening the country's money supply. One way they do this is by raising interest rates to control inflation. When borrowing money costs more, consumers tend to shy away from taking out loans, hopefully leading to lower prices.
By the same token, lower interest rates encourage consumers to borrow and spend, which in turn boosts the economy. Overall, the fluctuations in mortgage interest rates reflect an attempt to keep a balance in the economy, and to prevent inflation without bringing the economy into a recession.
The Federal Reserve is not the only player affecting changing mortgage rates. To create more money to lend, banks often sell their loans on the secondary market, now controlled by the federal government. Banks and other mortgage lenders sell mortgage-backed securities to investors. The return on investment for these investors is generated by interest paid by mortgage holders on their loans. For the investors to realize a return, banks must charge a higher interest rate.
Homebuyers (the mortgage loan borrowers) want low interest rates on their mortgages. This force drives interest rates back down. In addition, when investors know rates are going to drop, they purchase these securities, increasing demand and eventually sending interest rates back down. Banks must balance these two opposing forces, and the resulting push-and-pull drives mortgage interest rates.
Though they are locked-in once the application process is completed, fixed-rate mortgage rates are constantly changing. Interest rates for variable-rate loans fluctuate as well, and continue to change throughout the term of the loan. Another impact on interest rates occurs when lower interest rates attract homeowners wishing to refinance their mortgages.
While all of this may seem complicated to the average homebuyer, an awareness of what drives interest rate changes can help you know when the ideal time has arrived to apply for a loan.

Installing a new floor is a great way to liven up your house. Before you change your floor, however, you need to decide what type of flooring is best suited to your budget and lifestyle. Hardwood floors are a classic choice, while many homeowners prefer the ease of tile or the affordability of laminate flooring. While some floors can be installed by an inexperienced homeowner, other floor types require the services of a professional or an experienced handyman.
Hardwood floors have always been a popular choice. Beautiful, traditional wood floors can last a lifetime if properly maintained and, because hardwood floors are more hygienic than carpet, they are a good choice for people with allergies. The National Wood Flooring Association, points out that wood is:
Hardwood floor types can be new or salvaged and might be smooth, distressed, or hand-scraped for an antique look. Stains give you a variety of color choices, even allowing oak to masquerade as rare exotic lumber. Research all your options before investing in a hardwood floor, as each of the many choices offers advantages of its own.
Prefinished hardwood flooring can be expensive, but it is easy to maintain. To keep your hardwood floor looking its best, you should put down area rugs in places that get a lot of foot traffic. You should also damp mop your floor frequently to remove dust and dirt. If your hardwood floors get a few minor scratches, you can repair them with a touch-up stick. Solid hardwood floors can be refinished if they have a lot of scuffmarks, which is one advantage over other products like laminate flooring.
If you have never installed any type of flooring, you might want to hire a professional to lay your hardwood floors. Get an estimate, ask for references and never pay for the entire job upfront. If you do decide to do it yourself, do your homework because installing flooring can be tricky. The following tools are needed for installing hardwood floors:
Circular saw
Measuring tape
Nail gun or hammer
Table saw
Floor sealant
Safety glasses
According to Steve Seabaugh, director of technical education for the NWFA, installers of wood floors must take care to:
Check the subfloor for flatness.
Avoid laying over particleboard, which does not hold nails well.
Acclimatize wood to the space in which it will be installed.
Laying hardwood floors takes time, and this last step adds several days to your project calendar. The flooring should sit in your home for at least 48 hours before installation in order to expose it to the room's environment. This allows it to expand or contract according to the temperature and humidity of the room. If this takes place after the floor is laid, you'll wind up with shifting boards and uneven flooring. In addition to this brief period of acclimatization, plan to spend at least a few full days installing hardwood floors, depending on the size of your home.
Some homeowners choose cork or bamboo floors as an alternative to hardwood. These faster-growing products can be "green" in more ways than one - gentle on the planet and on your wallet. Prefinished bamboo is made from a grass and performs much like hardwood when it's used as flooring. Cork is a wood-bark product that can also make an attractive floor. According to BuildGreen's independently published Environmental Building News, the most eco-friendly bamboo floors are those with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification.
Tile is another beautiful choice and a great option for DIY flooring. The price of tile varies greatly because there are so many choices, from ceramics and terra-cotta to marble and slate. Regardless of the price, tile is extremely durable and will last for decades with proper care.
Before installing new floors, you should first learn as much as you can about how to tile. Many hardware stores and home centers offer classes in tiling. You can also hire a professional to install your tile floor, but this will greatly increase the price of your total flooring expenses.
When you do undertake a tiling job, be sure you already understand the process. You'll need to be sure your subfloor is suitable and then create a level bed of mortar. Tiles will be set according to a careful plan, with room left between for grout. After the mortar has set, you'll fill the gaps with grout, carefully wiping the surface of the tiles as you go. Finally, a week or more later, you'll seal the grout to protect it from stains.
The basic supplies for laying tile include:
Grout floats
Mortar trowels
Tile cutters
Tile grout, mortar, and sealant
Tile saw
Tape measure
Rags and a sponge
Installing tile flooring will take time, as grout and mortar take several days to dry. You should expect to get your hands dirty during this process, but the end result will be one of the most easily maintained flooring options out there.
Laminate flooring is made from a synthetic material that looks like hardwood or tile. Laminate flooring is a great choice for anyone who wants the look of hardwood or tile but doesn't have a big budget to work with. Laminate flooring is usually less than half the cost of hardwood floors.Â
Another advantage of laminate flooring is that almost anyone can install it. For most types of laminate flooring, the manufacturer's instructions are easy to follow and the pieces snap into place for "lock and click" installation. According to the North American Laminate Flooring Association, glue and fasteners are usually not required. Durability and affordability are listed by NALFA alongside ease of installation as reasons to consider a laminate floor.
Environmental concerns can sway consumers towards laminates, too. A product with NALFA's green seal will have the following features, according to the association's website:
Natural ingredients such as wood chips
Low emissions
Recycled content
No VOC-producing installation adhesives
Caring for and maintaining laminate floors is very easy - simply sweep or wet-mop regularly. With excellent care, laminate floors can last up to 20 years. The time and skill required to install a laminate floor are relatively low, making this a popular choice for first-time DIY floor installations.
Whether you choose easy laminates, classic hardwoods, or beautiful tile, your floor will help define your home's personality. By matching your budget, taste, and skill to the best product for you, you can find a DIY flooring solution that will make your home more comfortable, beautiful, and valuable.

2015 PROS Meeting will be in Texas.
A NASA tour is planned. You will love the Gulf Coast. Plan your meeting now, and have some fun too.
Read page two. News continues, don't stop on page one.
Russian energy company Rosatom has made it clear they should be the sole supplier of everything nuclear in South Africa.
Construction of the Kalininskaya nuclear power plant near Moscow.
We don't want to share so give it all to us. This was the essence of the pitch made by Russia's state atomic energy company, Rosatom, at a luxury resort in the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu-Natal last week.
A delegation of Russian nuclear experts made it clear that they want to have a monopoly on the entire supply chain of nuclear energy.
Two sources close to last week's meeting gave details of how the Russians argued for exclusivity. Rosatom believes its services are unique and therefore they cannot partner with any other country.
The cost to South Africa's taxpayers has been estimated to be anything between R500-billion and just less than R1-trillion at current exchange rates.
The Russians hope to build eight new VVER nuclear power plants without sharing the workload with any other country. The VVER is a pressurised water reactor originally developed by Russia.
They argued that this system was used by 11 countries worldwide and was adequately efficient.
France's EDF runs 58 nuclear plants although the Socialist government has pledged to reduce the number
An investigation has been launched after France's state-owned EDF power company said unidentified drones had flown over seven of its nuclear plants.
The first unmanned aircraft was spotted on 5 October and there had been further sightings up to 20 October, EDF said.
Who is behind the drones is unclear but pressure group Greenpeace has denied any involvement.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says measures are being taken to "neutralise" the drones.
Under French law, no aircraft is allowed to enter a 5km-wide (three-mile) zone around a nuclear plant, nor fly below 1,000m (3,300ft) there.
The air force is responsible for the protection of all such sites.
France is 75% reliant on nuclear power for its electricity and has 58 reactors operated by EDF at 19 sites.
According to the company, the first drone flew over its Creys-Malville plant at Isere in south-east France, 50km (31 miles) east of Lyon.
EDF says other incidents took place at

The following violation reflects Licensed Operator Requalification Program and Licensed Operator Performance. The full report of this event is later in this article. This would be a great recent operating experience to include into operator training.
One violation was the result of inadequate boration settings, one from inadequate channel checks (routine daily readings) that went from June 26, 2014 to July 9, 2014 before discovery.
This inspection report has multiple operating events that we can all learn from.
Green: An NCV of TS 5.4.1.a, "Procedures," was identified for the licensee's failure to implement system operating procedure (SOP) 13615-1, "Condensate and Feedwater Systems," Version 84. Specifically, on July 30, 2014, the licensee conducted a power increase from Mode 2 (approximately 3 percent reactor power) to Mode 1 (approximately 8 percent reactor power) with main condenser hotwell level control in "manual" versus "automatic" as directed by procedure. This resulted in a main feedwater transient and a subsequent reactor shutdown. The licensee initiated an incident response team and entered this event into their corrective action program as condition report (CR) 847734. Additional corrective actions included revising the SOP to include specific instructions for the control of main condenser hotwell level with corresponding number of operating condensate pumps.
By Moderator: Neil Sheehan, Public Affairs Officer, Region 1
When the Pilgrim nuclear power plant got a second "white" performance indicator in the same area of performance in 2014 it meant we would ratchet up our level of scrutiny until the underlying issues were resolved.
Starting Monday, that scrutiny will take the form of a team inspection at the Plymouth, Mass., facility. Eight NRC inspectors will begin performing evaluations in several key areas.
Both of the violations had cross cutting issues in teamwork. How is your teamwork? Can your recognize inadequate teamwork and prevent events?
Green. A self-revealing finding was identified for failure to recognize the potential effects on supported plant equipment while manipulating electrical power distribution components. The finding resulted in an unplanned reactor pressure transient during solid plant operations because the charging flow control valve failed open. Plant pressure increased from 84 to 345 psig before operators were able to control charging flow and lower pressure. The inspectors also concluded that the Licensed Operator Watchstation Expectations in station procedure AP 21-001, "Conduct of Operations," was not met. Specifically step 6.3.2 states that Control Room personnel are responsible for in-plant activities and maintain control and cognizance of any activities which have the potential to impact plant conditions.
The finding had a cross-cutting aspect of teamwork in the area of human performance in that individuals and work groups did not communicate and coordinate their activities within and across organizational boundaries to ensure nuclear safety is maintained. Specifically, the licensee failed to coordinate the planned bus realignment with a replacement of a redundant power supply such that the momentary loss of power would not have occurred [H.4].
NRC Slams CB&I for continued weaknesses. The complete report: NRC ADAMS ML14288A362.
The NRC inspection team determined that CB&I Power is not effectively implementing its corrective action program, in accordance with the requirements of Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99901422/2014-201-01, for CB&I Power's failure to adequately evaluate if there was a significant condition adverse to quality, identify the cause, and evaluate the extent of condition, in connection with CB&I Power's failure to identify a potential significant programmatic weakness in SMCI's quality assurance program.
The NRC inspection team determined that CB&I Power is not effectively implementing its oversight of contracted activities in accordance with the requirements of Criterion VII, "Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services," and Criterion IV, "Procurement Document Control," of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99901422/2014-201-02, for CB&I Power's failure to verify the completion of corrective actions by its supplier, NNI, prior to lifting the QRL restrictions for that supplier and prior to issuing a revision to the Purchase Order that removed such restrictions. Additionally, CB&I Power failed to identify a potentially significant programmatic weakness in SMCI's Quality Assurance Program.
Severity Level IV. The inspectors identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, Tests and Experiments," when, on February 10, 2011, the licensee failed to complete a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation when they revised procedure DOP 1300–02 to change the position of Motor Operated Valve (MOV) 2–1301–3, Reactor Inlet Isolation, such that the Isolation Condenser (IC) system would not meet its design requirement of removing 84.2E+06 BTUs in 20 minutes when initiated from its minimum Technical Specification (TS) level and maximum TS temperature.
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect of Design Margins [IMC 0310, H.6] in the area of human performance, for failing to carefully guard and maintain the IC design requirement of removing 84.2E+06 BTU in 20 minutes.
Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness
Green. The NRC identified a NCV of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) associated with 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.4, for failing to maintain the effectiveness of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Emergency Plan as a result of failing to provide the station evacuation time estimate (ETE) to the responsible offsite response organizations (OROs) by the required date.
Green. An NCV of T.S. 5.4.1(d) - The licensee failed to properly implement station procedures for fire protection impairments and fire watches. Specifically, a required compensatory fire watch on numerous occasions did not enter a room for which fire impairments had existed because of a door problem. The licensee implemented corrective actions including modification of fire protection software to track administrative impairments and placing a camera in the room until the door was repaired.
This finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of human performance associated with conservative bias such that individuals use decision making practices that emphasize prudent choices over those that are simply allowable. In particular, the shift manager made an inaccurate assessment of existing fire impairments by only checking the fire protection software and not the fire watch log, which was readily available. The shift manager also made the decision to not document the approval for modifying how the compensatory fire watch was being performed such that on-coming personnel would be aware of the change.

On October 30, 2014, at 1100 EDT, TVA conducted a briefing for government officials and other stakeholders regarding the decision to accelerate the Boone Reservoir annual drawdown after discovery of a sink hole near the base of the embankment and a small amount of water and sediment found seeping from the river below the dam. TVA is continuously monitoring the dam and conducting an investigation to determine the source of the water seepage.
The dam is located upstream of all three TVA nuclear sites. There are currently no nuclear plant operability or safety issues, and TVA is assessing the impacts on the plant licensing bases.
The Boone Dam was completed in 1952, 160 ft high and is 1667 feet across the South Fork Holston River. the water level varies about 25 feet per year depending on rainfall. The capacity of the dam is 75,800 acree-ft (~25B gallons). The hydro at the dam provides for a net dependable capacity of 89 MWe. Seisimic inspections due to earthquakes do occur (read on).
