PHOENIX — An array of federal and state investigations into the way banks foreclose on delinquent homeowners has contributed to a sharp slowdown in foreclosures across the country, especially in hard-hit cities like this one.
Over the last several months, some banks have been reluctant to seize homes from distressed borrowers, economists and government officials say, as they face scrutiny from regulators and the prospect of sanctions when investigations wrap up in the coming weeks and months.
The Obama administration, in its most recent housing report, said foreclosure activity fell 21 percent in November from October, the biggest monthly decline in five years. Here in Phoenix, foreclosures fell by more than a third in the same period, reflected in the severe drop in foreclosed homes being auctioned on the courthouse plaza.
"There's no product, just nothing to buy," complained Sean Waak, an agent for investors, during a recent auction.
The pace of foreclosures could be curtailed further by courts. In a closely watched case, the highest court in Massachusetts invalidated two foreclosures in that state on Friday. The court ruled that two banks, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo, failed to prove they owned the mortgages when they foreclosed on the homes.Continue reading the main story
If the slowdown continued through this month and into the spring, it could be a boost for the economy. Reducing foreclosures in a meaningful way would act to stabilize the housing market, real estate experts say, letting the administration patch up one of the economy's most persistently troubled sectors. Fewer foreclosures means that buyers pay more for the ones that do come to market, which strengthens overall home prices and builds consumer confidence in housing.
"Anything that buys time, that reduces the supply of houses coming onto the market, is helpful," said Karl Guntermann, a professor of real estate finance at Arizona State University.
It is not that borrowers have stopped defaulting on their mortgages. They are missing payments as frequently as ever, data shows. But the lenders are not beginning formal foreclosure proceedings or, when they are, do not complete them with an auction sale. And in the most favorable outcome for distressed borrowers, some lenders are modifying loans so foreclosure becomes unnecessary.
The drop in foreclosures began in late September when some lenders were revealed to have been using so-called robo-signers to process thousands of foreclosures without verifying the accuracy of the data. As the investigations into the problems proceeded, the uncertainty caused many lenders to become more cautious.
Their foreclosure procedures, the banks have repeatedly said, are sound. But preliminary results of several of the investigations have indicated substantial problems. Coordinating many of the inquiries is the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, established by President Obama.
"The administration is committed to taking appropriate action on these issues where wrongdoing has occurred," said Melanie Roussell, an administration spokeswoman.
The diminished supply of foreclosed homes has already had an effect on prices at the auctions on the courthouse plaza here, bidders said.
Houses change hands on the plaza with a minimum of ceremony. Three sets of trustees hired by the banks sit a few feet apart, their backs to a statue of a naked family looking for all the world as if its members had just been cast out of their home. The trustees call off properties in a monotone to bidders clustered around them. Winners must immediately hand over a $10,000 deposit in the form of a cashier's check.
On a recent afternoon, one bidder, Pam Mullavey of Infoclosure, found herself in a bidding war with Chris Romuzga of Posted Properties for a 2001 house that had fetched $644,000 at the very peak of the boom.
This time around, the bank set the floor at $271,000. Ms. Mullavey and Mr. Romuzga rapidly pushed up the price in varying increments of $100 and $500. Mr. Romuzga's client had planned to pull out at $307,000 but asked him to keep bidding as Ms. Mullavey sailed on. Her winning bid was $310,100, well above what a similar house might have fetched just a few months ago.
"Sometimes I wonder why people are bidding so much," Ms. Mullavey said.
For Mr. Romuzga, it was the fourth time that afternoon he had been outbid. Only once had he secured a property.
The investors' frustration could be a good thing for Phoenix homeowners, who have seen values fall 54.5 percent since 2006. In the last few months, home prices have started to drop again. A decline in foreclosures, economists say, could break the fall.
Cameron Findlay, chief economist with the mortgage company LendingTree, said that the shifting behavior of lenders had helped change perceptions about the foreclosed.
"Initially, society's view was to run them out of the house," he said.
That resulted in vacant and dilapidated homes, which blighted neighborhoods and drove potential buyers away.
"People should be hopeful the modification programs work — for their own benefit," said Mr. Findlay.
More than four million households are in serious default and vulnerable to losing their homes. Lenders maintain that cases of borrowers improperly foreclosed are extremely rare.
But the Federal Reserve, which is investigating lenders' policies in conjunction with other banking regulators, has found significant weaknesses in risk management, quality control, auditing and compliance.
Another investigation is being conducted by the Federal Housing Administration, which is examining whether loan servicers are exhausting all legally required options before foreclosing on government-insured mortgages. An agency spokeswoman said that initial reviews indicated "significant differences" in efforts by servicers to keep borrowers in their homes.
A third investigation is being conducted by the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees, part of the Justice Department. It is looking into documentation errors by lenders and their law firms in homeowners' bankruptcy filings.
At the state level, there is a joint effort by all 50 state attorneys general, with the specific goal of changing the face of foreclosure in America by making it more difficult for lenders to act against homeowners. The effort, led by Iowa's attorney general, Tom Miller, is in flux as several prominent attorneys general left office and their replacements decide whether to make foreclosure reform a priority.
There have been many attempts during the housing crash to stem the flow of foreclosures, only fitfully successful. Some experts think neither federal reforms nor any agreements brokered by the attorneys general will make much of a difference.
"Whether it is really true that there are millions of foreclosures that could be avoided if servicers were just more willing to do more modifications that make sense — meaning overall losses would be less than would otherwise be the case — is far from clear, and in fact highly unlikely," said Tom Lawler, an economist.
Loan servicers are not set up to identify the true financial picture of each borrower having trouble, Mr. Lawler said, and cannot easily figure out who is likely to stop paying without a modification and who will keep sending a check every month.
The courthouse plaza bidders in Phoenix do not believe their livelihood is threatened. By the end of January, several bidders predicted, lenders would gear up and foreclosures would once again be abundant.
In the meantime, Tom Peltier watched unhappily as a house started at $68,000 and quickly spiraled up. He finally locked it in at $98,500. "That was about 20 grand more than I wanted to pay," said Mr. Peltier, who planned to rent it to his sister as soon as he moved out the former owner.Continue reading the main story

- Be aware that 9 half hour talks in a day is very intense.
- Never hold up the session for the benefit for one or two people, no matter how "importnat" they may appear to be. It turns out that this is just disrespectful of everyone else's time
- Try to arrange it in a community of supportive, inquisitive, engaged scientists who promote the culture of asking speakers questions in general. (This was awesome).
- Be careful in how the allocation of who speakes in which session, and who gets promoted out of the youg people's session to teh adult scientist session to avoid feelings of being ghettoized.
- Wine and cheese afterwards never hurts.

Lessons from conference organizing
2 comments:
mmhhh, wine and cheese (=ReplyDelete
I never was on a conference whith a special postdoc/grad student session. What's the benefit of that? We just sometimes have undergrad student sessions, where they can give the first big talk in their life in a more or less protected yet professional environment - at least as long all attneding professors realize that its a students session (=
The host institute has "promoting young researchers" as part of its mandate. Thus the organizers were able to get funding specifically allocated for "young researchers." They chose to spend it on room and board for a lot of "young speakers." In an ideal world, I don't think this is the best format to promote postdoc/grad student work. Given the funding situation, it may or may not have been the best decision. I'm not terribly happy about certain aspects of how the session turned out. On the other hand, I haven't given it enough thought after the event to come up with a better solution.ReplyDelete

Hospice is a supportive program for people of all ages with an advanced illness that is life limiting.
Through the years Hospice has expanded to serve not only patients with cancer, but patients with other diagnoses such as end stage Heart Disease, end stage Lung Disease, Liver Disease, end stage Alzheimer's, end stage renal, AIDS, and Neurological disease. Hospice can also provide services for patients who have required multiple hospitalizations in the past year and no longer wish to be hospitalized for their medical care. At Hospice of Central New York, we served more than 1,000 patients and their families a year.
Mostly, Hospice services are provided in a patient or family home allowing the patient to die surrounded by all that is loved; family, friends, favorite books, music, pets.
Hospice services are provided in a patient's or family's home allowing the patient to be cared for while being surrounded by all that is loved; family, friends, favorite books, music, pets.
Hospice services are also available in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and residential care facilities, such as Francis House.
Hospice services are available through Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. No one is ever turned away for inability to pay
A physician referral is needed but inquiries about hospice care may be made by anyone such as a family member, a friend, or the patient.
In Hospice care, the focus of the patient's care is to promote the patient's comfort and provide support to the patient's caregivers. Hospice professionals are known for their expertise in pain and symptom management at end of life. Hospice social workers and grief counselors offer the patient's family and therapies to aid family/friends during this highly stressful time.
After the death of a loved one, family and friends are entitled under the Hospice benefit to 13 months of Bereavement care through the Hospice Grief Center. These highly trained counselors know the challenges of shouldering grief and have the tools to lighten the load.
Above all, Hospice is about making these last months of life the best they can be…offering hope for comfort when care is no longer feasible. It's about taking time to be together, sharing memories and saying the things you always wanted to say.

This week in my meeting I hit 9st 7.5lbs and decided to change onto the maintenance plan. Essentially this means adding 6PP to your daily allowance but WW recommend doing it in stages so you don't shock your body too much. (I have no idea whether this is very scientific. Doesn't sound it, does it?!) At any rate, this week I've moved from 26PP to 29PP dailies. I still get my 49 weeklies too. The trouble with the increase is that because I've got used to cooking in a certain way, it's actually easier to add a chocolate bar than to add healthy food. For instance, yesterday I realised that the omelette I was making DH and I for tea was going to be very heavy on veg and a bit light on eggs, because I was using up mushrooms and courgettes that needed to be eaten. It took about a minute of going 'Hm, I wonder whether this is going to hold together in the pan or whether I'd better turn it into scrambled eggs with vegetables' before I realised I had the points available to just add another egg and make it a slightly bigger meal. Not rocket science! Still, it'll be interesting to see how I get on at next week's weigh in. Until you find the right level of daily PPs for your body your weight can fluctuate quite a lot I believe, so I'm prepared for a bumpy ride for the next few weeks. My main concern is that as I eat all my weeklies anyway (which lots of people don't do) and I've lost 1.5-2lbs a week most weeks, 32PP daily might not actually be enough to stop the weight loss. Most people in my meeting lost 0.5-1lb a week on 26PP and only a few weeklies so I'm already eating more and losing more weight than them. Hopefully I can figure out the right level for me soon.
On a very cheesy note, I found a YouTube video of a Weight Watcher who lost over 6 stone in just over a year. YouTube is full of these kinds of videos and they inevitably have a sound track of M People (as this one does!) but this one is particularly good in terms of before and after pictures. It's helpful to watch because when I look in the mirror I don't really see much of a difference. I know that sounds crazy and objectively I know I've lost almost 4.5 stone and gone from a size 16/18 to 10 so, of course, I know my body's changed. But the mindset of 'I'm fat,' 'there's no point in trying that on because it won't fit,' 'let me see whether they have it in a large' etc still prevails and is hard to shake. Even though the lady in the video isn't me (and even though she's lost a lot more weight than me) it's nice to see the change on someone else's body and think maybe other people can see it on mine.

|Fairchild did attempt to sell an airliner version of the Packet after
World War II. The 1945
proposal was for a 45 seat passenger version with four abreast seating, lavatories could be
installed fore or aft of the cabin and the deck would be raised to provide underfloor baggage
storage. One sales pitch had a seven seat lounge bar / buffet installed in the nose section with
an unobstructed forward panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Fairchild however,
failed to find any commercial operators. This was mainly due to the higher operating costs of
the C-82 which was roughly twice that of a C-47 Dakota – of which operators had a choice of
thousands second-hand along with an abundance of cheap spares to boot. A situation many
aircraft manufacturers found themselves in at the time, competing in a market flooded by
ex-military aircraft suitably designed for airliner applications.
The C-82A was finally retired by the USAF in 1954. Aircraft were parked up at Hill AFB, Utah,
Kelly AFB, Texas and Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona where sales to civil operators began in May,
1955. Despite the costs of demilitarising these aircraft, approximately 50% of all the C-82 "A"
variant built were sold, the rest were broken up for scrap. In the civil world Packets saw service
as bulk cargo aircraft, specialised cargo carriers, crop-sprayers, flying repair stations, newspaper
transports, humanitarian relief, mail carriers and in one case several appeared as "film stars" in
a Hollywood motion picture. C-82s could be found from Alaska though to the US and on
into Latin and South America, a few operated in the Middle East and Europe under
US registrations.
L.B Smith Aircraft Corp. of Miami, Florida did several initial modifications stripping military
equipment out and installing civil equipment, reportedly somewhat improving the aircrafts
performance. From here they were then resold to operators in the US and Latin America.
The first airline service was in late 1955 with Guest Aerovias of Mexico.
The first civil Packets were with Mexican operator Guest Aerovias as cargo
transports, pictured is XA-LIK (s/n: 45-57758).

|The most significant operator of the C-82 Packet by far was an
innovative company called
Steward-Davis Inc., located in Gardenia, California. Founded in 1946 by Herb Steward and
Stanley Davis, they specialised in radial engine reconditioning and various other aircraft
modifications / ventures.
The US Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA); which became the Federal Aviation Agency
(FAA) in 1958 and then the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1967; issued a
Limited Type Certificate for the Fairchild C-82. "Limited" means the aircraft was restricted
from fare paying passenger services and operating over congested / built up areas due to the
single-engine performance which had plagued the C-82 throughout its career.
Steward-Davis applied to the CAA, and was subsequently awarded, Limited Type Certificate
AR-15 on July 7, 1955. Herb Steward envisioned making the Packet a real winner by
installing a small dorsal auxiliary jet engine and hence overcoming the weight restrictions
and performance problems in US operations. They also held the only C-82 spares inventory
in the US for servicing and repairs to any C-82 in any part of the world.

the advantages of their jet-pak product.

|A holding company was created by Steward-Davis in 1961 called New
Frontier Airlift Corp.
of Phoenix, Arizona who began buying up C-82 Packets for conversion into Steward-Davis
Jet-Packet and Skytruck aircraft under a grand marketing scheme. Although the idea and the
market seemed promising (especially to Latin America), very few were converted in the end
and eventually by 1971 New Frontier had gone bankrupt having to scrap over 30 Packets
in Arizona and California. Ironically the Jet-Packet was a real winner flying superbly on one
engine and shortening take-off distances considerably - just to late to the market.
For the full Steward-Davis story see under Steward-Davis Jet-Packet in the side menu.
TWA operated C-82A N9701F, in Europe as a flying repair station. Pictured with
a Fairchild J44-R jet-pak it was later upgraded to Jet-Packet 3400A standards
featuring the Westinghouse J34-WE.
|Other significant C-82 buyers were Bankers Life & Casualty Co., who held
around 20 plus
surplus Packets and Los Angeles businessman Samuel C. Rudolph held a number of C-82s
purchased directly from the USAF for re-sale to civil operators.
A few of Samuel C. Rudolph's C-82 Packets in storage at Davis-Monthan AFB,
Tucson, Arizona circa 1955. The sales pitch boasted Mr. Rudolph's C-82s as
being the best available with recent military overhauls before retirement.

|Although there were many C-82 owners and operators throughout the US and
South America
from the mid 1950s through to the mid 1970s, most enjoyed only a limited service life and
many merely ended their days parked up in the corners of airfields only to be later scrapped.
By the 1980s a few were still flying in Alaska and by the 1990s US company Hawkins &
Powers Aviation Inc. of Greybull, Wyoming operated the last flyable C-82A – N9701F. This
aircraft made the last ever Packet flight on October 15, 2006 when it was returned to it's
birthplace at Hagerstown, Maryland for preservation at the Hagerstown Aviation Museum.

[Sister site Gamasutra polled approximately 1,000 developers at the end of 2012 on their quality-of-life. While the site normally performs a yearly Salary Survey every April to check the pulse of developers' financial health, it thought to supplement that with a quality-of-life survey to see how you're doing in ways not measured by dollars and cents.]
With so many experienced developers deciding to start their own studios after one too many layoff cycles, we thought we'd ask: How are the indies doing?
Indie devs have half the market success rate of other devs. 34% of indies (both individual developers and small independent studios) have successful projects, compared to 70% for publisher-owned studios and 65% for first-party studios.
Indies are far more likely to work less than full-time. 28% of small indies work less than 40 hours per week, compared to 6% of first-party devs, 10% for publisher-owned devs, and 15% for established indies.
Small indies are having the best of times and the worst of times. On one hand, small indie developers are far more likely to be able to work from home (81%, followed by 56% from first-party devs), they're the most confident in their current project's quality (36% of "very confident" responses were from small indies, followed by 30% from first-party devs), and they report that their job has the least negative impact and greatest positive impacts on their family and social life than any other dev studio type.
On the other hand, they're more likely to regularly work weekends or holidays (36% of devs who regularly work weekends/holidays are small indies, followed by first-party devs at 19%), and they report the highest rate of dissatisfaction with benefits and compensation. Also, small indies have the lowest reported rate of shipping on time (39%); publisher-owned studios ship on time 59%, and both first-party studios and established indies ship on time 49% of the time.

Garden City, Kansas
Garden City Regional Airport AKA: Garden City Army AirfieldIn 2004 we took a little ride on our motorcycles that ended up in Colorado Springs, CO. This would become the first of many summer vacations spent with close friends traveling throughout this great nation. With two wheels on the ground and the wind in our faces we have been to some fantastic places. I point out the 2004 trip not only since it was the first but also because it is the one we always say it was a great ride with the exception of Kansas. The trip report on this adventure can be seen on Stan's world-famous eurekaboy website here. I specifically point this out because in the 104 degree heat on US 50 we refueled in Garden City, KS. I remember a lot of the scenery through that part of Kansas as being black and white and being quite akin to what I imagine the Great Depression looking like.
In 2009 I had the chance to return to Garden City for business. I was on the ground in Garden City for 3 days. I had a great time in G.C. and the event I held was very successful. I met some good people. As I write this I am sitting in the Denver International Airport waiting on my flight back to Indiana after spending another two days in Garden City. Once again another fun and successful event in Garden City.
So I guess this a retraction and apology of my prior view of the area. I flew into Garden City this year on Great Lakes Airlines same as last year. When I got on the ground the police officer I spoke with last year recognized me immediately and greeted me by first name. WOW! The Kansas sky was as blue as any I have ever seen and the grass and fields were vividly green. I arrived in and was greeted by the Janice Olson and the staff of Nature's Way Health Foods like a member of the family returning home. We talked about what are respective families were doing and the overall general state of things.
On Saturday, 1 May we held the event at Janice's store. Although the event was supposed to start at 1 pm I went ahead over the the store and got an early start. Janice and her staff had already done most of the prep work I normally do prior to an event because they felt they had all week to get things set up and ready to roll out, whereas they thought that I would be all jet-lagged. What a crew! Storm Dennison showed up at around noon and we got on the radio with K95 for a few hours. I planned on going to the Crazy House to buy a genuine Kansas cowboy hat but as we talked on the radio I found out that Gallagher was in Dodge City that night. After we got off the air Storm gave me a ticket to the show, so I knew that the cowboy hat was out the window. As the event progressed it became apparent that this year's event was going to be better than last year's. One thing that really made an impression on me was the number of people who came into the store because of event we held there. But the largest impression that was made upon me was the number of people that came in and said, "Hi John". They remembered me from last year! These people are amazing!
So after spending the day at the store and closing an hour late, it was off to Dodge City to see Gallagher. While I was hanging around trying to figure out how to steal Storm's cowboy hat I sensed someone right behind me. I glanced over my shoulder out of habit (and old habits do die hard!) to see who was there. No problem, just a short guy in a black and white striped shirt. What! Turn around stupid! That's Gallagher! I managed to get a few minutes to talk with him and even get a picture! The show was spectacular! At 63 years old he is just as hilarious and limber as always. His videos are classics but in person he is PHENOMENAL! A 45 mile drive back to Garden City and a trip to Taco Bell for some long overdue food and it was time to pack up and get some sleep before flying home in the morning.
I arrived at the Garden City Regional Airport to fly to Denver early. I cannot help but notice that the airport is a thriving entity here with Great Lakes flying in and out, a healthy general aviation crowd, and several aviation-related businesses. They even have an on-site Italian restaurant! Hmmmm...Why can't Bedford, Indiana think this far past their noses?? Always a question have I. I think the Gallagher show took hold of me last night, I am questioning everything this morning.
So, as I am waiting for the airport to wake up, I decide to read the local paper. Hmmm again, what's this, the local high school's broadcasting classes took 42 of 73 awards at the state level in competition. The Sheriff of Lane County is retiring after 35 years, the city council is looking at renovating and revitalizing another historic area? What no gossip or speculation? No outright character assassinations?? What kind of newspaper is this? Fair Reporting of the news? Man, what a concept! HMMMMMM... should our local newspaper take a clue?
Okay, so it is almost time to fly. TSA and the local PD have arrived. TSA greets all 8 of us going to Denver with a bright and chipper, "Good Morning folks, we'll start checking everyone through here in a few minutes." as opposed to, "line forms to the right, have your boarding pass and photo ID ready. :(".
Well I am back home now and have time to finish this up. It is amazing how my opinion has changed about Kansas. The people there are solid, respectable folks and I have no doubt that if the lights went out tomorrow and all of the technology that we have came to depend upon fails these are the people that have the ability to survive. These are the folks that are truly the backbone of America and I am glad to have been able to spend some time with them.

In Oklahoma, indecent exposure is a felony sex offense punishable by up to ten years in prison, $20,000 in fines, and lifetime sex offender registration. With such serious consequences in the balance, it is imperative that those charged with indecent exposure find legal representation from competent OKC lawyers. Indecent exposure is the intentional public display of one's private parts, including genitals, buttocks, or the female breasts, in a lewd manner.
This can include public masturbation, flashing of the genitals, exhibitionism, and sexual intercourse. Public urination can also be filed as indecent exposure rather than a misdemeanor, which means sex offender registry for the accused. Though no physical contact with the victim occurs, indecent exposure is subject to harsh penalties as a crime against public decency.
Indecent Exposure to Minors
If a child is subjected to the indecent exposure of genitals or sexual activity, then the crime is prosecuted in an attempt to gain the maximum sentence for the defendant. Oklahoma Sex Offender Registration for those convicted of indecent exposure can range from 10 years to life. Some ramifications of sex offender registration include:
- GPS ankle monitoring
- SEX OFFENDER emblazoned on your driver's license
- Residential restrictions
- Community notification of your address and sex offender status
- Limitations on access to public areas such as parks, churches, and schools
Indecent Exposure Defense
Disputing evidence, challenging the credibility of witness identification or testimony, illuminating a lack of evidence, and revealing the consent of willing participants turned accusers are all possible defense strategies. To minimize potential negative outcomes for indecent exposure charges, let us tell you about our defense resources and strategies.

The Chinese government aggressively denied its human rights violations during today's Universal Periodic Review of its record at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.
Despite China's false claims, a number of countries rightly pointed out China's systematic abuse of basic freedoms in Tibet and Xinjiang, among other serious concerns.
"The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) is deeply concerned by the responses of the Chinese government during today's UN hearing," said Kai Mueller, head of ICT's UN advocacy team and executive director of ICT Germany. "It should be clear to everyone that this was not just about the rights of Tibetans, Uyghurs or Chinese human rights defenders, but also about promoting to the world the Chinese system, which quite obviously discards human rights and the rule of law,".

As strains of the popular gospel anthem: " Jesus Na You Be Oga" filtered from speakers all around the bus, I was determined to keep up. I joined in, gyrating and singing along as loudly as everybody else. Inside this luxurious bus meandering its way from Lagos to Accra, the atmosphere was electric; alive with loud, warm voices and many heads bobbing from side to side.
Soon, my attention was drawn to something else. From the front of the bus came an tumult of voices. I eased forward in my seat a little anxiously. Then I smiled.
I knew the heart and soul of these voices well. Quite simply, I often described them as The Forum. If you have ever found yourself standing by a newspaper vendor on a busy junction or roadside in Nigeria, teasing the headlines and watching others gather to do the same, then you might begin to understand the intensity of a social phenomena like The Forum.
Where two or three people are gathered to discuss, express their unrestrained views on the latest political or celebrity scandal, football scores or news headlines, you have a powerful mix of energies and ideas.
In Nigerian society, as with all societies, gatherings of this kind are in many ways an absolute necessity. They serve a great need. People have to express themselves especially when faced with a future which seems to diminish everyday. This spontaneous and unscripted outpouring in itself is a perfect way for the individual to let off steam. However, the forum is a bit more than this. When most things around you defy all logical reasoning, you crave the company of other people to affirm your own sanity. There is indeed empowerment in numbers.
As I listened to this group of young Nigerian students travelling back to university in Ghana debating with the more restrained voices of seasoned traders, it occurred to me that Nigerians are definitely the most energetic people I know. Despite what seemed like diverse opinions and generational differences, the need to speak out and expel strong emotions created an undeniable pull, drawing perfect strangers together . We are all Nigerians in various states of discontent but our passion for a better Nigeria united us even if only for a few restless hours.
It is is where you can test the strength of your opinions, make other people's opinions your own, test the depth, volume and timbre of your voice and most importantly let off steam! For a great atmosphere though, you need a few important ingredients: naturally gregarious people fermenting with many cantekerous issues and of course… time.
I have seen this before- an ad hoc collectionof voices seemlessly gather and merge into a formidable vocal formation- on airplanes, airport lounges, in queues waiting for the bus and most especially at the impenetrable wall of people cramped together inside and outside the bank at the end of the month.
And now I wasn't to be disappointed. Here we were again. Another gathering to keep us human on this long distance road trip from Lagos to Accra. I watched the group, further intrigued.
A few hours earlier we all sat at Yaba bus park, complete strangers. Now you wouldn't know it. Eyes have brightened and faces widened with laughter. Voices are different too. Some are raised with that unmistakable swagger of a generation who feel connected to the promise of a vibrant future; one mostly fed by the images and stories which pour forth from the oracles of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
As I strained to hear snatches of conversation, I was reminded of many other forums like this all over Nigeria and indeed in the diaspora. Nigerians like myself with many different voices, in many different places mostly saying the same things. Voices asking questions and trying to proffer solutions at the same time. Voices bewildered and hurt, watching a country cascading with such beauty and brilliance continue to move astern without much hope of anything else.

Kansas to merge arts, film groups; arts funding uncertain
– While Kansas plans to overhaul its arts agency this summer to focus it on generating new jobs, state funding for arts programs remained uncertain as legislators continued discussing budget issues Saturday.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill Thursday to merge the Arts and Film Services Commission into a new Creative Arts Industries Commission in the state Department of Commerce. But his proposed $14.1 billion budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 included only $200,000 for the new commission, and he hasn't said whether he'll approve more money than he originally proposed.
Last year, the governor vetoed all state dollars for the Arts Commission, making Kansas the only state to eliminate funding for arts programs.
Both chambers of the Republican-controlled Legislature have approved $700,000 for the new Creative Arts Industries Commission, but House and Senate budget negotiators who met Saturday hadn't decided whether to give the Commerce Department the authority to transfer another $250,000 internally to the new group as senators had proposed.
Brownback argued last year that arts programs should rely more heavily on private dollars and that tax dollars should finance "core" government functions, such as public schools, social services and public safety. But his veto brought him national criticism, and it cost the state $1.3 million in funds from the federal government and a regional arts alliance.
Spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said the governor's views haven't changed about shifting funding for arts programs to private dollars. She noted that the bill establishing the new commission also creates a check-off on individual income tax forms that will allow filers to contribute to arts programs.
Asked whether Brownback would approve more than $200,000 for the new commission, she said, "We'll see what the Legislature decides."
Sarah Carkhuff Fizell, a spokeswoman for Kansas Citizens for the Arts, said the bill merging the arts commission into the Commerce Department represents "a real collaboration" involving Brownback, legislators and arts advocates.
"We're also hopeful that he can live with the funding," she said. "That's really the key piece."
Last year, Brownback proposed eliminating the Arts Commission, replacing it with a private, nonprofit Kansas Arts Foundation and giving the foundation a state subsidy of $200,000. The foundation formed, but legislators rejected Brownback's executive order eliminating the Arts Commission and appropriated $689,000 in state tax dollars for it.
Brownback vetoed the budget line with the money and another line authorizing the commission to keep its small staff. But his actions didn't eliminate the 12-member commission itself, and Brownback's appointees are now a majority. The Arts Commission has relied on help from other state agencies, private dollars and carry-over funds to continue operations. It also is selling special vehicle license plates to raise money.
The new Creative Arts Industries Commission will have 11 members, five appointed by the governor and six by legislative leaders. Brownback's administration has said the new commission's focus will be on economic development in film and the arts.
In debating budget issues in March, the House initially sided with Brownback in setting aside $200,000 for the new commission but ultimately agreed to a Senate proposal for $700,000.
Both chambers also have agreed to allow the new commission to hire three employees.

This post is to try outline the concept of what a covert channel is by carrying out a simple demo.
What is a Covert Channel?
A covert channel is described as: "any communication channel that can be exploited by a process to transfer information in a manner that violates the systems security policy." Essentially, it is a method of communication that is not part of an actual computer system design, but can be used to transfer information to users or system processes that normally would not be allowed access to the information.
"Communication path not intended as such by system's designers"
In the case of TCP/IP, there are a number of methods available whereby covert channels can be established and data can be surreptitiously passed between hosts.
If an attacker gains access infects the system, covered their tracks the attacker still needs to communicate out.
Covert_TCP 1.0 – Covert Channel File Transfer for Linux
Written by Craig H. Rowland (email@example.com)
Covert_TCP uses extra space in a TCP or IP header. Program a hacker uses to send a file through a firewall one byte at a time by hiding the data in the IP header.
The tools description of itself:
'This program manipulates the TCP/IP header to transfer a file one byte at a time to a destination host. This progam can act as a server and a client and can be used to conceal transmission of data inside the IP header. This is useful for bypassing firewalls from the inside, and for exporting data with innocuous looking packets that contain no data for sniffers to analyze. In other words, spy stuff.'
Open 3 terminals, the sender, the receiver and the listener.
Terminal 1
In 1 create a send directory within tmp and then a file called send.txt.
cd /tmp
mkdir send
cd send
echo "Hello" > send.txt
Terminal 2
In another terminal create a receive directory within tmp.
cd /tmp
mkdir receive
cd receive
Terminal 2
Within the receive directory (cd /tmp/receive) run the following command:
It will direct the listener to wait for the coming TCP from port 9999 going to port 8888.
/home/tools/convert_tcp -dest 127.0.0.1 -source 127.0.0.1 -source_port 8888 -dest_port 9999 -server -file /tmp/receive/receive.txt
Terminal 1
Within the send directory (cd /tmp/send) run the following command:
/home/tools/convert_tcp -dest 127.0.0.1 -source 127.0.0.1 -source_port 9999 -dest_port 8888 -file /tmp/send/send.txt
Terminal 3
The 3rd terminal will be used to sniff the traffic been sent across using tcpdump.
tcpdump -nvvX port 8888 -i lo
Navigate to the receive folder upon completion to verify that it now contains the send.txt file with its content and renamed it to receive.tx as stated in our command.

Hi Kelly! Sorry I haven't commented in a while - lots of catching up to do. I totally get what you are saying about "flow". I think that's why I can't get my act together because I keep injecting too much color and I want a more peaceful look. I will always love your home and style and I think the cabinet is perfect grey!

That's the great thing about paint - you can try something and you either love it or change it. This time you changed it, but at least it wasn't costly. I like the grey very much.

wow kelly that turned out so pretty! do you mind telling me the paint color you used? i must have missed it on a previous post.
i know what you mean by all things flowing throughout the house...it's okay to bring in other colors but i believe the overall scheme should coordinate and then do a little bit with pillows, etc. you made a good choice with painting that chest.

It looks beautiful, Kelly, and suits your home as well. I know what you mean about committing to colour on large pieces. I love blue and struggle with this as well.

- Lisa @ Texas Decor said...
I liked it both ways, but I know what you mean about wanting it to flow with other rooms. I love how you just did a light coat. That makes it look so pretty! That's a wonderful shade of grey too. Not too light and not too dark. :)
- September 30, 2014 at 6:09 PM
- Cozy Little House said...
It's very pretty, but naturally you know I miss the blue. To me blue and gray go together like sky and storms. But I understand why you want more flow.

Love the tone of putty grey you chose for your chest of drawers. The white knobs draw perfect attention to the white stoneware pitcher....it's a perfect putty grey that charms the entry space that it sits in.

I totally understand about having a piece of furniture or a vignette that just doesn't feel right. It is wonderful when you finally get it right.
I love looking at your lovely home any time.

Paint can do wonders Kelly.I loved that piece blue but look at how amazing it looks grey.And yes it fits in better with your colors in your home.Change is always fun :-)

- Sherry @ Thrift My House said...
Gray is my new favorite color at the moment. I know how you feel trying to make something work when it keeps nagging at you. I'm learning to trust that feeling...just so I don't keep wasting time and effort. I love how it turned out Kelly and LOVE the ecualyptis. My daughter dried some and it turned out nice. She hung it upside down and it's a little lighter in color but other than that it's perfect. Hope you're having a good week.

I couldn't agree more! Keeping the "big things" neutral and having fun changing out small things seasonally has been life-changing and fun. LOVE your cabinet in gray, and the blue peeking through is great.

I love the new color. The power of paint! Love it. I'm going more neutral in my home and adding color with accessories. What color gray did you use. it looks like french linen. My new neutral favorite is ASCP Versailles with old white.

I think you made the right decision...you are definitely the quick change artist and having a neutral color in furnishings will lend to your "quick change artist" desires!...love how you accessorized with the white!

text: The oldest standing structure in Ethiopia is located in Yeha: the temple of Yeha. This is a tower built in the Sabaean style, and dated through comparison with ancient structures in South Arabia to around 700 BC. Although no radiocarbon dating testing has been performed on samples from site, this date for the Great Tower is supported by local inscriptions. Yeha is also the location of an Ethiopian Orthodox monastery, founded according to tradition by Abba Aftse, one of the Nine Saints. In his account of Ethiopia, Francisco Álvares mentions visiting this town in 1520 (which he called "Abbafaçem"), and provides a description of the ancient tower, the monastery, and the local church.[4] This church was either the rededicated Great Temple, or a now destroyed building which the Deutsche Aksum-Expedition described in the early 20th century.

Before that here are some of the details that went into making the project. Total build time approximately 60 minutes, except for the travel time to Harbor Freight where I purchase a small "aluminum" case on sale for just over $11 (always use your coupons!). It has only an aluminum frame. The black portions between the frame members are made of a fiberboard that comes very close to a highly compressed cardboard. Yet, they advertise this as an aluminum case.
Case measures 7 1/2 by 11 1/2 by 4 1/2 outside dimensions. Inside dimensions are 6 3/4 by 11 by 4 1/8.
Granted this isn't very big, but Arlene's request was to make it small enough to easily carry and store anywhere in her pickup. I believe that was accomplished, because it is in fact "Arlene Approved".
The weight needed to be light and to that end the entire setup weighs a mere 5 pounds, 6.5 ounces. Optionally, there is enough room to include a direct connected 12 volt 7 AH battery, however this would nearly double the weight since the battery weighs 5 pounds, 4.4 ounces. Although Arlene tested the "carry" of this option and said this would not be a problem for her, if needed.
A small aluminum bracket was used to raise the radio enough so it could be angled to make the display easily readable and the microphone jack is above the box edge. The bracket was from an old tower PC, it was a 5 1/4 inch drive bay filler. This came out of my projects junk box, so it was free. The bracket is pop-riveted to the bottom of the case. The radio included a mobile bracket, which was then screwed to the aluminum bracket. That was the entire construction process.
Radio is attached to the mobile bracket, power and chassis ground cables were routed so can be used with the power accessory plug and chassis ground connection installed in the pickup, respectively.
The setup for in pickup operation is as follows:
- Open box, drag out the antenna pigtail, Anderson Powerpole connectors for power and chassis ground
- Attach antenna, power and ground wires already in pickup to the matching box items
- Turn on pickup and then radio
- Listen and talk!
The photos below can be enlarged with a click. Purchased items were Harbor Freight case, KCSAR radio, Anderson Power Poles and battery (from earlier project). Recycled part was the aluminum bracket.
|View from handle side, standing on hinged side.

It's been a while since we heard from Wayne LaPierre. The last time the National Rifle Association leader made headlines, a rampage shooter had killed 26 children in Connecticut and he was the guy to come out for more guns in schools and greater restrictions on "… video games. "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," LaPierre said at the time. The media ridiculed him, deeming his speech tone-deaf, ineffective, out-of-touch, and a failure.
"If there's anything to take away from this press conference," The American Prospect wrote then, "it's that politicians should not be afraid of the NRA. Its mystique is gone." Later, in a cover story titled "This Is How the NRA Ends," The New Republic would argue that the conversations following Sandy Hook were "not the end of hopes for gun reform, but the beginning."
A year later, after gun control failed loudly in Congress in 2013, it's pretty clear they were wrong. And not just a little wrong: spectacularly wrong.
In his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, LaPierre enjoyed rubbing that very thing in the media's collective face. After citing their off-base coverage of his speech in the wake of Sandy Hook, he continued to mount a larger attack.
"One of America's greatest threats is a national news media that fails to provide a level playing field for the truth," LaPierre told a packed room. "Now it's all entertainment ratings, personal celebrity, the next sensational story, and the deliberate spinning and purposeful use of words and language, truth be damned, to advance their agenda."
He went on to link his hatred of the media to his distaste for politicians, arguing the two have joined forces to "misinform and deceive" the American public, a sentiment which earned him mild applause. "They lie bills into law, they pass legislation they haven't even read … health care policies, economic policies, foreign affairs — all seem repeatedly reckless," he fumed. "The IRS is now a weapon to punish anyone who disagrees with them, and that means every one of you."
The way LaPierre described things, everything was "us" versus "them." It was all politicians and the media versus ordinary Americans and, as we learned later, their guns.
"We don't trust government because government itself has proved unworthy of our trust. We trust ourselves," he said. "We trust our freedom."
LaPierre's speech came mere hours after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sought to win conservative hearts by walking onstage with a rifle in hand. He immediately passed the gun off to Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, but no matter. The gimmick worked. It was the only time that the audience cheered loudly during McConnell's entire time on stage.
That enthusiasm was on display again for LaPierre's speech as he fired up the crowd, asking the audience whether they trust the government to protect them. (The answer: a resounding "No!")
In a final insult to the media's coverage of his Sandy Hook speech, he repeated the quote that made him infamous in the wake of the Newtown shooting: "The surest way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," he said.
And the audience loved it.
The NRA, LaPierre continued, proudly stands for the America we all want, "unflinching in defense of one unifying principle: individual freedom for all."
The crowd was on its feet now, clapping and cheering as LaPierre's speech seemed to veer into the strange territory of the freedom-loving speech Bill Pullman gives as President Thomas Whitmore in Independence Day, taking on an almost post-apocalyptic quality.
"The NRA will not go quietly into the night," he cried. "We will fight. I promise you that."
He walked off stage as David Guetta's "Titanium" played.
Ricochet, you take your aim. Fire away, fire away. You shoot me down but I won't fall. I am titanium.

Make sure you learn as much as you can. When you do this, you can learn how to grow as a person and better your life. Liking yourself comes first. If you use the following advice to better yourself, then the rest of your life will get better too.
Find people you can relate to. The right people will help you stay motivated to pursue your goals. Avoid people who have no respect for what you are trying to achieve.
Maximize work time. One thing that you should do is to take frequent breaks from your tasks. This might seem counterintuitive at first, but taking more breaks actually gives your mind a chance to recover, which improves concentration when you return to work.
Regardless of your surroundings, you should be ready to record ideas when they come to mind. Use a notepad app on your phone or even carry a real notepad with you. Record as much as you can when your idea hits so that you can flesh it out later at a more convenient time.
The first step towards self improvement is learning how to be a leader. There are a number of ways to define leadership, but it is frequently defined as "influence." Think about your own leadership experiences. What events shaped your life and personality? What kind of skills have you acquired? What personality characteristics define you as a team player? By examining these questions, you will be aware of how you can fit into a team setting.
Before you begin working on your self improvement, you first need to understand your place in the universe. When you realize your place in the universe, you realize that you have a lot to learn. When you know this deep inside, you'll have a craving for all of that knowledge and experience that you lack.
You should know the values that bear importance to you prior to planning a self improvement program. It is a waste of time to work on areas of your life that might contradict your values. Seek out areas of your life that you can develop that you can spend your energy on without going against what you hold important in life. This allows you to implement personal and professional changes that will last forever.
If you want to get more from your self improvement then take care of your physical self. You can keep your energy level up with regular exercise, a healthy diet, and getting a good night's sleep. This will give you the energy you need to be successful at your self improvement efforts. It may seem simple, but sometimes the simplest things in life are actually the most difficult.
Instead of boasting about trophies, awards, and medals, try asking others about their achievements. Respectful listening to the successes of others can help you to gain insight into your own inner life as well as allowing you to connect with others in a meaningful way.
You can't tend to others needs until your own needs are met. No matter your path, or whether you're failing or thriving, take time out to restore and rest yourself.
Make sure you treat all people with respect, no matter who they are, how powerful they are or what benefits you can obtain from them. The way you deal with people speaks volumes about your character.
When you are handling depression stay focused on the things you eat and eat more complex carbohydrates. If your complex carb intake is lower than recommended, your body won't produce enough serotonin. You can accomplish this by increasing the amounts of raw vegetables and fresh fruits as well as nuts, whole grains, brown rice and assorted beans.
After reading the tips presented above, you should be more than ready to develop a plan of the best ways to further your personal development. Use what you have learned here and continue to seek out more ways to further your growth.

Gratulerer med dagen –
Today, May 17th, is a difficult day to be outside of Norway if you are Norwegian. It is Norway's National Day, the day our Constitution was written. Many people mistakenly call it Norwegian Independence Day, because it sort of equates in celebration to other Independence Days.
It's actually a much bigger deal to most Norwegians than the 4th of July or anything though. There are parades, everyone dresses up in national costume, or at the very least in fancy clothes. Children get balloons and ice cream. Adults enjoy a drink or two, and there is a feeling of a national fete throughout the day.
When I first moved out of Norway after I was married, we tried celebrating with other 'Norwegian Americans'. When I was growing up, whenever we lived outside of Norway for the 17th of May, my mother always helped arrange mini-parades and parties for the ex-pat community – maybe I could get some joy out of that. The first one was in Abu Dhabi — I went to the Norwegian Embassy … but it was strange. Hot weather. Lots of people from Oslo (not the 'real' Norway, which we all know is Bergen). Then, when we moved to the States, and the Sons of Norway were having a 'Norwegian' 17th of May. How totally disappointing THAT was. Before eating, we all stood up to sing the National Anthem. The AMERICAN National Anthem. THEN the Norwegian National Anthem. I was outraged.
And since then, we have not observed the day while overseas. It's too upsetting to me to see it butchered. So, I quietly try to pretend that it is not a special day. That my heart isn't aching to see Bergen decked out in a thousand Norwegian flags. That I don't want to be sitting in the harbor having a beer with family and friends and watching the crowds go by.
I'll just quietly put up this flag in the Meta instead — and then return to my desk and pretend it's just any other day.

SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. -- Happy birthday to Jamal Michael Barrow, aka, Moses Michael Levi, who goes by the stage name Shyne.
The Bad Boy Entertainment and Def Jam rapper was born Nov. 8 1979 and turns 38 on Tuesday.
He was born in in Belize City, Belize, where his father was the first black Prime Minister. He moved to Brooklyn to live with his mother when he was 8 and got into the hip hop culture in the 1980s and 1990s.
Barrow also lived for a short time in a boy's home in Spring Valley after childhood troubles with the law in Brooklyn. He quickly turned his life around playing football and doing well academically.
Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs signed him to Bad Boy Entertainment in 1998 after someone heard the teen freestyling in a barbershop.
He was featured on Mase's second album, "Double Up" (1999) and on Combs' debut album "Forever."
A high profile 1999 Manhattan nightclub shooting with Combs had him slapped with a murder charge that resulted in his 2001 conviction. He was at the top of the charts.
While at Clinton Correctional Facility, he signed a $3 million deal with Def Jam.
Following his 2009 prison release, he was immediately deported to Belize. Soon after, he moved to Jerusalem and converted to Orthodox Judaism. He also changed his name to Moses Levi.
His solo records include two studio albums, "Shyne," which debuted in 2000, selling over 900,000 copies, and 2004's "Godfather Buried Alive," which sold over 400,000 copies.
He presently lives in Belize where he aspires to be a politician.

English teacher writes racy novels, parents with nothing better to do lose their minds.
Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is predictably awesome.
I agree with SB, TB: for once, it's worth it to read the comments on a news article. Wow, a grown-ass woman writes about, meaning that she thinks about, sex. She doesn't bring it into the school. She doesn't promote it to minors. (However much I think that it's willful obtuseness not to realize that teenagers think about sex.) If you're going to excoriate her for this, then you have to do the exact same for every single biological parent with a student attending that school. They're not just thinking about sex, they're giving tangible proof that they've had it.
There are also things to be said when it comes to why a woman writing about sex is being deviant, but if a man were to write about violence he would be an exalted local author. However, others have said them better, so for now I won't. What I will do is choke down my reaction to Mays' fairly ridiculous Kindle prices and give the lady some business.

A Rose is a Rose...
The last I time I spoke to Rose before I left my former job, she was working towards her Education degree and heading to a life of teaching. But today I saw that her life had taken an amazing twist. A little research and I see that she was hired as the Youth Services Librarian at a nearby library. Wow. Lucky library, lucky kids! I am so excited for her! It is wonderful to see such a library lover working in a library.
These are the moments that always make my day!

Anytime of the year is a great time to stay at the Ponderosa Lodge in Central Oregon, where the great outdoors is right outside your doorstep.
The summer months are a great time to indulge in hiking, biking, fishing or golf. Winters are reserved for skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling or snowshoeing. In Sisters country, the beauty of the region provides a gorgeous backdrop for every guest of the Ponderosa Lodge. Outdoor recreational activities abound, but there's also something special for guests who prefer a different approach to getting away from it all.
The Best Western Ponderosa Lodge is close to a number of top destinations to enjoy the wildlife. The local llamas are popular for vacationing families, and birding is a big hobby in this neck of the woods. Guests can spot a wide variety of birds and fowl nearby.
Shopping in Sisters features unique stores and antique shops. The Sisters Rodeo, Folk Festival and Quilt Show always draw a crowd, and are top attractions for guests who are looking for something off the beaten path. From the Sisters Harvest Festival to great golf courses to work on your swing, there really is something for everyone. Don't forget about our free breakfast complete with a make-your-own-waffle station. It's the perfect start to your day.
As the largest hotel in Sisters, we prioritize a great atmosphere for our guests. Relax, renew and rejuvenate in your spacious guest room. We're located just a quarter mile from the business park, and we're a favorite for business travelers who require suites or small business meeting facilities. Some of our regular business travelers are employees of the US Forest Service, The Stitching Post, Sisters schools, and the local shops and businesses.
Whether you want a winter getaway or a summer vacation, book your next stay at the Best Western Ponderosa Lodge, the biggest hotel in Sisters! Enjoy your stay.
