Eagle Rehabilitation at Sunnyside is one of 10 properties that has been sold to Vancouver-based Prestige Care, Inc.
The sale of all Kirkland-based Eagle Healthcare properties was confirmed this morning, Thursday, by Prestige's central office and Mary Arthur, director of the Sunnyside facility.
Prestige indicated it is holding off on issuing an official statement about the sale pending a 30-day "due diligence" period before the deal is finalized.
Assuming the sale goes through, the transition from Eagle to Prestige takes effect Oct. 1, Arthur said.
She says Prestige officials visited Eagle Rehabilitation on Monday of this week.
"I found them to be very patient-centered, very compassionate," Arthur said. "I am comfortable with this because our (Eagle Healthcare's) current president Jeff Marshall wouldn't be selling us to somebody that he didn't trust."
She praised Marshall's work over the last 12 years in building up Eagle properties, including an extensive renovation and addition at the Sunnyside site.
Arthur's confident that Prestige will continue that upward trend.
"I'm impressed with the attitude and sincerity of the Prestige people,' she says. "They asked good questions, listened carefully."
The pending sale also includes Grandview Health Care Center.
Arthur anticipates a good transition for both Sunnyside and Grandview facilities.
She says no jobs will be lost because of the sale and benefit packages for employees should be similar with Prestige.
Prestige owns and operates 45 assisted living, nursing and rehabilitation and independent living sites in eight states. Ten are in Washington, including locations in Ellensburg and Toppenish.
Arthur has 40 years experience in the health care field, including work with three corporations and at two sites that were sold.
"It's not that much different because there's still the need for quality care," she says of the transition. "It will be business as usual; same patients, same policies and procedures and same great care."

Democrats Featuring Marathon Voting Session In Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats are preparing for a marathon session featuring dozens of votes as they get ready to pass a 2014 budget that's a counterpoint to one approved in the House yesterday. The Senate plan would raise taxes and protect safety net programs for the poor. The House plan approved assumes deep cuts to social programs and no revenue enhancements. Both plans are symbolic appeals to core partisans.

A brazen attack on a Swiss prison has broken out another member of the "Pink Panthers" ring of jewel thieves and a fellow inmate, spurring a massive manhunt in western Switzerland and across the border with France, Swiss authorities said Friday.
Two vans approached the prison in Orbe, in the Jura Mountain foothills, shortly after 7:30 p.m. Thursday, when the inmates were in the exercise yard, the Tribune de Geneve reported (link in French). Under a hail of AK-47 fire, the accomplices rammed the prison gate and threw two ladders across barbed-wire fencing to spring the imprisoned men.
Asked whether he suspected the breakout was staged by other members of the criminal gang that Interpol calls the Pink Panthers, Anthony Brovarone, spokesman for the Swiss prison network known by its French acronym SPEN, replied: "Yes, definitely."
Police launched a manhunt late Thursday, with at least 50 officers and their search dogs deployed in the area around the prison, which is only 10 miles from the French border, Vaud canton police spokesman Jean-Christophe Sauterel said in a statement.
Two other members of the jewelry-heist group, which Interpol says brings together hundreds of thieves, mostly from the former Yugoslavia, escaped in a similar attack on a prison near Lausanne in May, according to Beatrice Metraux, head of the Vaud canton's interior department, which is responsible for prison administration.
Guards at the Orbe penitentiary were unarmed, Metraux told reporters at a news conference Friday. Officers of a private security firm, Protectas, also patrol the prison and are armed with handguns, she said, but they were unable to intervene amid the waves of automatic weapon fire unleashed by the two assailants.
"This was an invasion, not an escape," Metraux said, attributing the attack to "a heavily armed, organized gang."
The two prisoners who escaped have been identified by prison authorities as Milan Poparic, a 34-year-old Pink Panther from Bosnia, and Swiss citizen Adrian Albrecht, 52.
Poparic was serving a nearly seven-year sentence for a 2009 jewelry store robbery in Neuchatel, and Albrecht, who police said has a long history of criminal activity, was serving seven years for his latest conviction in multiple incidents of robbery, kidnapping, arson and money-laundering.
In May, a 45-year-old Serb and a 47-year-old Frenchman associated with the Pink Panthers were among five inmates who escaped from the Bois-Mermet prison, the Associated Press reported.
Interpol dubbed the jewel thieves' network the Pink Panthers in reference to the 1963 movie by the same name starring Peter Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau and David Niven as a wily jewel thief.
The international police organization estimates the criminal operation has netted at least $400 million in precious metals and stones in about 15 years of robberies of high-end jewelry stores across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States.

West Virginia 94, VMI 69
Juwan Staten scored 18 points to lead seven West Virginia
players in double figures as the Mountaineers broke a two-game
losing streak by defeating Virginia Military Institute 94-69
Wednesday night.
Staten, a junior guard who transferred from Dayton, and Aaric
Murray, a junior center who transferred from La Salle, put up big
Staten's 18 points led all scorers and was his best total with
the Mountaineers (2-3). He connected on 7 of 10 shots, made all
four of his free throws, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out
three assists.
Murray made 6 of 12 field goal tries, finished with 13 points
and took a game-high nine rebounds.
They got plenty of help. Senior center Deniz Kilicli connected
on 5 of 8 shots and finished with 13 points, 11 in the second half.
He also grabbed five rebounds.
Reserves Gary Browne and Keaton Miles scored 11 points, with
Browne also getting seven rebounds and a career-high seven assists.
Miles' point total was a career high for the sophomore.
Terry Henderson and Eron Harris added 10 points each.
Stan Okoye led VMI (3-4) with 14 points, D.J. Covington had 12
and Tim Marshall 11.
West Virginia has won 13 straight home openers since moving back
into the Coliseum in the 2000-01 season after it was closed for a
year for asbestos abatement. It was also the Mountaineers' 42nd
victory in their last 43 home games against nonconference
West Virginia had played a tough early schedule, losing on the
road to 12th-ranked Gonzaga and at a neutral-site tournament to
Davidson and Oklahoma, but a lack of scoring had been the chief
problem for coach Bob Huggins' team.
Coming into this game, the Mountaineers had connected on just
39.8 percent of their field goal attempts, 25.8 percent from the
3-point line and just 65.6 percent of their free throws.
Those figures showed some improvement in this nonconference
game. Although West Virginia made just 3 of 19 attempts (15.8
percent) from 3-point range, but it was 37 of 82 (45.1 percent)
overall from the floor and made 17 of 21 free throws.
West Virginia led 90-58 before VMI made some headway against
Mountaineers subs. West Virginia forced 15 turnovers while
committing just eight.

UK Spies Knew That Its Surveillance Was Likely Illegal, Which Is Why They Fought To Keep It So Secret
from the but-of-course dept
GCHQ lobbied furiously to keep secret the fact that telecoms firms had gone "well beyond" what they were legally required to do to help intelligence agencies' mass interception of communications, both in the UK and overseas.Amazingly, they seem to admit that the fear of a public debate/legal challenge was the key reason they fought (and won) a battle to keep such evidence out of trials. That is, even though they could have gone with the old favorite of "national security," instead, they finally admitted reality:
GCHQ feared a legal challenge under the right to privacy in the Human Rights Act if evidence of its surveillance methods became admissible in court.
GCHQ assisted the Home Office in lining up sympathetic people to help with "press handling", including the Liberal Democrat peer and former intelligence services commissioner Lord Carlile, who this week criticised the Guardian for its coverage of mass surveillance by GCHQ and America's National Security Agency.
Our main concern is that references to agency practices (ie the scale of interception and deletion) could lead to damaging public debate which might lead to legal challenges against the current regime.That other point mentioned above, about telcos going "above and beyond" in voluntarily handing over access is also pretty big, considering that the telcos in question had tried the "we're just complying with the law" excuse in the past. But, evidently, they were lying.
The revelations of voluntary co-operation with some telecoms companies appear to contrast markedly with statements made by large telecoms firms in the wake of the first Tempora stories. They stressed that they were simply complying with the law of the countries in which they operated.Later in the report, a GCHQ memo notes that telcos "feared damage to their brands" if the extent of their over-cooperation was revealed. You know how they could have dealt with that? By not going so far above and beyond the law. But, once again, it seems like the telcos have been incredibly willing to screw over their own customers' privacy at every opportunity.
In reality, numerous telecoms companies were doing much more than that, as disclosed in a secret document prepared in 2009 by a joint working group of GCHQ, MI5 and MI6.

The gleaming, massive lamb shank on these pages, impressive though it may be, is not the most effective way to serve what amounts to the shin and ankle of a lamb.
It's glorious, for sure, but it has a number of disadvantages, the first of which is that a small-to-moderate lamb shank weighs in at more than a pound, a nice serving size in the '70s (or the Middle Ages) but a bit macho for most of us these days. The second is that it's difficult to cook — size alone makes it awkward, and penetration of flavors is an issue. It's difficult to eat. And finally, that same graphic quality that makes for such a gorgeous photo reminds some people more of its source than they'd like.
Besides, I've slowly begun to realize that my most successful lamb dishes were made from what was left over from a meal of lamb shanks. A couple of months ago, when braising season began, I cooked two sizable lamb shanks and, of course, enjoyed them. But I really got into it over the following couple of nights when I wound up using them to create a marvelous ragù and then transformed the ragù into a lamb-tomato-bean stew that could not have been much better.

From the Farm Fresh RI website:
Rhode Island not only has many wonderful farmers, but we Rhode Islanders also have a wealth of homegrown knowledge about how to turn fresh foods into jarred and prepared delights! We've survived winters in New England for more than a few years. From raspberry jams to Johnny cakes, from peach pie to pesto, local talent needs to be exposed – and this November it's the picklers' turn to shine. We hope the pickle contest will not only inspire non-picklers to try pickling—but it will also promote the wealth of good food that grows in Rhode Island. Plus, a great way to start off the winter season is with a zesty taste of the bountiful autumn.
How to Enter:
- Register by October 31 with your name, category, and what veggies will be local in your entry.
- Let us know which farm grew your veggies if you can (or if they're from your own backyard).
- Everyone – chefs, schools, home cooks, gardeners, market-goers and more – is encouraged to enter.
- First time picklers encouraged!
Judging Location and Time:
- Opening day of the Wintertime Farmers' Market - Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 12pm at Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket.
- Six expert pickle tasters will work to decide which pickle is best. Winners will receive a unique, handcrafted basket of local goodies as well as the honor of being Rhode Island's Perfect Pickler. There is one track for Chefs and another track for Home-batch.
- Mayor James Doyle, City of Pawtucket
- Sarah Garton, pickle pro and farm intern at Rabbit's Dance Farm
- Matt Jennings, cheesemonger and chef at La Laiterie
- David Liddle, pickling pro and farmer at Mt. Hope Farm
- Genie Trevor, editor at Edible Rhody
- By 1pm we will know the finest pickle makers in all the (Rhode Is)land.
- Best of luck!

Aug. 4, 2011 – Today the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission announced the fall inshore shrimp season will open in Shrimp Management Zones 1, 2 and 3, on Monday, August 22, 2011 at 6 a.m. The commission set the season based on recommendations presented by Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries biologists and comments from the public.
Furthermore, the commission granted authority to the LDWF Secretary to close the fall shrimp season when biological and technical data indicates the need.
Shrimp Management Zone 1 includes Louisiana waters from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line to the eastern shore of South Pass of the Mississippi River.
Shrimp Management Zone 2 extends from to the eastern shore of South Pass of the Mississippi River to the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island.
Shrimp Management Zone 3 extends from the western shore of Vermilion Bay and Southwest Pass at Marsh Island to the Louisiana-Texas state line.
Certain waters adjacent to Bay Jimmy and Grand Terre Island located in the Barataria Basin are closed to all recreational and commercial fishing except for recreational and charter boat angling because of closures still in effect from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Portions of the Mississippi River's birds-foot delta are also closed due to this incident.
Preliminary Louisiana shrimp landings statistics indicate that approximately 26.5 million pounds of shrimp (all species combined/heads-off weight) were landed in Louisiana from January 2011 through June 2011.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

If your only reasons to look for help with your book idea are lacking the time or feeling intimidated by the Blurb free software (which is, by the way, not bad), then look elsewhere. I will be glad to help you if you have higher ambitions. But higher ambitions come with a price. However, I think that I can compete with most of my colleagues. I'll put a lot of work into your book in order to make it something really special. I don't use ready made page templates. I use my design inspiration and typography know-how in order to bring out the best from your project. You see, I have high ambitions of my own, because I want every book to represent me as well as to be the best expression of your intentions. There is a rich treasure of stories in each of our lives. They are all worth recording, both for ourselves as well as for future generations. Take a look at the books I made and if you'll think that I'm not just an example of French arrogance, send an email and tell me about your project.

Our Genealogy Discussion Group held its annual holiday party this past week. What fun! I don't have to tell you that genealogists, whether professionals, long-time hobbyists, or total newbies, are a great bunch of people. So you can imagine that 30 or more of this group in holiday mode is just a blast.
In addition to a lovely spread of food, we played a fantastic game that we called Whose That Cutie? The "cuties" were photos of all the members in our younger days, from age ten and down. The photos covered the full age range.
The photos included this one of me, obviously unhappy that my snack time has been interrupted for a photo shoot. I'm a bit over a year old here. I think this was the youngest child in the collection of photos. And I guess I don't look too much like this anymore, so it did stump a few folks, which is a good thing.
One of the photos was of a boy, about four years old, in a Naval officer suit. Adorable. Some of young girls on satin pillows, with blond hair and blue eyes. Precious. There were several First Holy Communion photos, lots of school photos and a few around the Christmas tree. Looking at old family photos is fun, no matter whose photos they are. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the game, studying who has blue eyes, or a dimple, or looking at the outfits and hair styles and trying to put it all together.
Almost 30 people submitted photos in the contest. The winner had nine correct guesses!
Our group is not only fun, they're generous, too. Many donated door prizes, so that no one went home empty-handed. We're so fortunate to know such a great group of people!

Mgoblog declares Kentucky NCAA Champions, tournament deemed redundant.
Kentucky celebrates their 2012 NCAA Championship
Calipari reacts to using efficiency margins to determine the NCAA Championship, saying
"I couldn't be happier. This is a player's market. They were charging me by the game! That's $500,000 I can put towards next year's class!"
Brian Cook answers his detractors who cite things like the pageantry, the school pride, and the Cinderella stories that result from actually playing the NCAA tournament, saying, "You can grub grub grub about will to win and finding ways to win and winning is for winners; I don't buy that stuff."
St Louis coach Rick Majerus reflects on his team's Sweet 16 banner.
Majerus was quick to share the credit with the guys who got him here, "I just knew that last bucket over Illinois-Springfield would pay off in the end. Know that I never would have made it here without NCSOS Pyth and AdjT." *a single tear traces a delicate line down his ample cheek* "I love you guys."
When asked for comment on the Lobos rise to power, Brian Cook was quick to point out, "Did you know that David Brandon invented cancer? Five minutes from the cure...One more year...we were right!"
Disarmed, Majerus could only comment, "That is the dumbest smart guy I have ever met."
New Mexico celebrates their less than surprising victory over Duke.
A confident Steve Alford cites key rebounds against UMKC for the victory, "I knew back in Dec. 2011, when we pulled down that last board against the Roos that it would put our adjD over the top." Alford quickly appointed a name tag on his striking red coat and scurried off to his second job managing the local Kmart.

Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. From this discovery, gold mining spread gradually to nearby counties and eventually into other southern states. During its peak years gold mining was second only to farming in the number of North Carolinians it employed. The estimated value of gold recovered reached over one million dollars a year. North Carolina led the nation in gold production until 1848, when it was eclipsed by the great rush to California. Continued

Prepare for less water this summer, says our water supplier
Press Release – Greater Wellington Regional Council
Only a third of the usual rainfall fell in the Wellington region's main water catchments in November, reinforcing the need to prepare for less water this summer while we are down by one water storage lake.
The latest NIWA forecast shows an increased probability of low river flows over the next three months (December-February). If the predicted low flows become a reality, stored water from the Stuart Macaskill lakes in Te Marua will almost certainly be needed to supplement water from the rivers.
The Stuart Macaskill water storage lakes are currently undergoing an upgrade to improve their strength in an earthquake and increase their capacity. This means one of the lakes will be empty again this summer, so our backup water storage is effectively halved.
"Now more than ever, it's worthwhile to use a bit less water," says Greater Wellington Regional Council's Social and Cultural Wellbeing Committee Chair, Nigel Wilson. "Despite the latest rain this week, river flows are still well below normal. With a dry summer likely, it makes sense to use water wisely to reduce the risk of a water shortage."
The regional council, in conjunction with the four city councils, has launched a water conservation campaign asking people to prepare for less water over summer while the storage lakes are upgraded, and to do one or two extra things to help save water.
Households can make a difference by following a few easy steps, such as fixing leaky taps, pipes and toilets or fitting a trigger nozzle to their hose.
For more tips on easy ways to use a bit less, visit www.gw.govt.nz/water.
Rainfall and river flow data
November's rainfall and river flows figures for our water catchments and rivers were below average:
November 2012 rainfall (percentage compared to long-term average for each site)
• Kaitoke – 33%
• Wainuiomata – 28%
• Orongorongo – 34%
November 2012 rivers flows (percentage compared to long-term average for each site)
• Hutt River (at Kaitoke) – 48%
• Wainuiomata River – 47%

Recent conflicting fitness industry news has caused me to ask myself: What's going on? I'm a big believer that the health club industry, researchers and the media have done a good job of getting the message about the obesity epidemic out to the general public. So, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that within the last six months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released statistics about rates of obesity in adults and children showing that although the rates increased, they did not increase enough to be statistically significant. In other words, we saw a slight leveling in the obesity rate (see story on page 11).
The International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) recently released its report on the state of the health club industry. In that report, IHRSA notes that consumer demand for health club memberships has stalled worldwide, particularly in the United States where memberships were expected to be 44.1 million in 2007, but instead were 41.5 million, not a statistically significant increase over 2006, 2005 and 2004.
That might sound like really bad news, particularly as we face a tough economy. However, the good news is that IHRSA reports that despite membership numbers holding steady, the revenue for the industry has actually increased, which suggests that clubs are collecting more revenue per member than before, perhaps by increasing dues but also perhaps by increasing the number of members participating in club programs, such as personal training, wellness coaching, tennis lessons and summer camps for children.
The question is, how has the obesity rate leveled off without an increase in health club memberships? The answer seems obvious. Despite club owners' hopes that people need health clubs to lose weight, they don't. Club membership may be a tool that could help people lose weight and stay motivated, but people can exercise outside of clubs, and some are even turning to methods like bariatric surgery to lose weight.
These numbers suggest to me that people now understand that they need to eat healthier and be more active, but they aren't necessarily joining a health club to do either. Too many people still see health clubs as an intimidating place where they wouldn't fit in. They may be increasing their activity and eating healthier, but they aren't ready to commit their money and time to a health club.
Few fitness facility operators have figured out a way to reach these nonmembers because few club owners have talked to non-health club members to find out what has prevented them from joining their club. As an industry, that's a question we should be asking, and then we should act on that information.
The fitness industry has weathered past economic tough times better than many industries, and it will probably do the same this time around. However, for the long-term health of the industry, club owners need to know their nonmembers better so they can bring them into their clubs and help them with their weight-loss and health goals. That, in turn, will do what we all want, which is to not just maintain the obesity rate but to actually decrease it.

605 Maple Truffle

Maple Truffle Color Story
Dessert is Served
The French truffle is made with fresh cream and chocolate and then rolled in cocoa powder. They were such a treat as I was growing up. Mom would hide them and try to surprise me, but I learned to spot the soft-brown trace of cocoa butter on her clothing and knew that a special dessert was in store for me. Talk about your comfort food! Recently, I dropped into a bakery hoping for a few truffles when I spotted the shop owner dusting a small cake with cocoa powder. She explained that the cake was composed of thin layers of dark chocolate cake, separated by ganache and coated in cocoa powder. I had to have a slice. One taste of that familiar semi-sweet brown coating on the delicious cake and I was home again, and Mom was in her kitchen.

Registration and Title Bulletin - #003-13
Date: February 19, 2013
To: All County Tax Assessor-Collectors
Subject: RTS Workstation Logoff/Restart Procedures
To remind you of proper end-of-day workstation logoff/restart procedures, and to alert you that RTS is reverting back to the use of "Logoff" rather than "Switch User" when alternating between users at shared workstations.
RTS workstations must be left powered on when not in use in order to receive system updates from TxDMV. The proper practice is to "Restart" the workstation, do not "Shut Down." A workstation not in regular use should also remain powered on unless instructed otherwise by TxDMV.
Users sharing a workstation where logins are alternated among two or more employees will now use "Logoff" rather than "Switch User." After selecting "Logoff," RTS will close when the user's session is closed, eliminating the need for the previous user to restart RTS manually. The "Logoff" change will be in effect on the morning of February 20, 2013.
"Restart" rather than "Shutdown" each RTS workstation at the end of the workday. Always keep each workstation powered on, even when not in use, unless instructed otherwise by TxDMV.
Starting February 20, 2013, use "Logoff" rather than "Switch User" when alternating between users on shared workstations.
If you have questions, please contact your local TxDMV Regional Service Center.

A special task force is trying to encourage independent grocers to locate in low-income areas in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Grocery Access Task Force is a coalition of more than 50 private and public sector groups. The group scheduled a news conference for Monday morning at the Legislative Plaza in Downtown Nashville to announce efforts to create a financial incentive program encouraging independent grocers to locate in so-called food deserts.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a food desert is a low-income census tract in which a substantial number of residents have low access to a supermarket or large grocery store. That means they may also have little access to healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
A recent study by The Food Trust found that nearly 1 million Tennessee residents, including more than 200,000 children, live in food deserts.

Southern College of Optometry has been awarded a $250,000 grant from the Assisi Foundation of Memphis Inc. to support the college's "Envision Our Progress" campaign and the $9.4 million academic building project that was announced in March.
The grant will be paid in a single lump sum before the end of the year. It comes on the heels of a $300,000 grant from the Plough Foundation in September and will support the college's academic expansion efforts.
As first reported by The Daily News in December, the expansion plans include a 23,016-square-foot classroom and instructional facility under construction on the school's former patio space.
The college made plans to expand its campus after outgrowing its current 11-story tower.
The new facility, made possible in part by support from the Assisi Foundation, is expected to open in August and will allow the college to expand its technology and instructional capabilities.
In conjunction with the March announcement of the expansion, the college launched a five-year, $4 million capital campaign to finance the project.
An advance phase has raised more than $2.25 million, and grants from the Plough and Assisi foundations have provided the school with an additional $550,000 in funding. The college's board of trustees will finance the remainder of the project through investments and cost-savings measures over the five-year period.

The University of Memphis has received a $3.7 million gift from the Helen and Jabie Hardin Charitable Trust.
The trust has been a major benefactor of the school for many years. The gift includes $1 million for the Helen Hardin Honors Program, $100,000 to the university's School of Public Health and $2.6 million to support women's athletic programs.
Jabie and Helen Hardin were the founders of wholesale food distributor Hardin-Sysco.
In 1995, the University of Memphis bestowed its highest honor, the Distinguished Alumni Award, on the Hardins. In 1997, they also were inducted into the Society of Entrepreneurs.

Confidence among U.S. homebuilders rose this month to its highest level in six and a half years, driven by strong demand for newly built homes and growing optimism that the housing recovery will strengthen next year.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Monday increased to 46, up from 41 in October.
That's the highest reading since May 2006, just before the housing bubble burst.
Readings below 50 suggest negative sentiment about the housing market. The index last reached that level in April 2006. Still, it has been trending higher since October 2011, when it stood at 17.
The survey is based on responses from 417 builders. The index sank to 8, its lowest point dating back to 1985, in January 2008.
Builders' confidence has improved this year as the housing market has shown signs of a sustained turnaround.
U.S. sales of new homes hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 389,000 in September, an increase of nearly 6 percent from the previous month and the highest level in more than two years.
All told, sales of new homes have increased 27.1 percent over the past year, although sales remain well below healthy levels. Data on new-home sales in October are due out next week.
Meanwhile, builders are starting to put up more homes. Homebuilders started construction on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years in September.
They also requested the most building permits in four years, an indication that many are confident that gains in home sales will endure.
Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe says he's relying on next year's legislative leaders to tell him whether there's support in the House and Senate for the state running its own insurance exchange under the federal health care law.
Beebe told reporters Monday, Nov. 19, that he hoped to meet after Thanksgiving with incoming Senate President Michael Lamoureux and House Speaker Davy Carter on the possibility of Arkansas having a state-run exchange. Beebe said last week he was considering a state-run exchange after the federal government extended the deadline to make a decision.
The state had initially been planning for a partnership with the federal government on an exchange.
Beebe said he wants Carter and Lamoureux to measure how much support there is among next year's legislators for a state-run exchange.

Jane Doe Inc. has launched this campaign in Massachusetts because it believes that most men want to help end this violence by speaking out for positive masculinity andhuman rights, for equality and for the safety and liberty of survivors everywhere - regardless of gender, gender identity and sexual orientation. Over 450 men in Massachusetts have already signed on as White Ribbon Day Ambassadors and over 70 communities have signed on as White Ribbon Day Affiliates.
White Ribbon Day Campaign Co-Chair Jarrett Barrios explained why cities and towns have been invited to join this campaign, "By issuing a proclamation, our municipalities are making a public pledge to be part of the solution in ending violence against women. I reached out to these men because I know that they share my belief and commitment that as men we have a critical role to play in supporting survivors, holding offenders accountable and preventing violence."
JDI will host the 6th annual statewide Massachusetts White Ribbon Day on Thursday, March 7, 2013. For more information about the campaign, visit: www.janedoe.org/whiteribbonday.

Pioneer DEH-P8400BH
2000 Ford Ranger
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This has been no less than the tenth car stereo I have bought from Crutchfield over the last 20+ years. Every time has been Great! This time I found a stereo from the open box sales. The price was incredible! It was missing a piece of the microphone clip. The Install manual was missing. I made due and everything installed great. This is the first time the deal has not been Perfect. I am still very pleased with my Purchase price, Product, Service. I will look forward to the next time I do business with Crutchfield.
Pros: I love the Pioneer Supertuners. These have seemed to have the cleanest reception of most of the stereos I have bought. Bluetooth interface is simple and is a clean sounding. I love the HD radio AND Bluetooth AND USB ports all in one unit
Cons: I could live without the MIXTRAX. It is more in the way than anything else for me.

SKF boosts wheelset bearing service life for enhanced passenger rail efficiency
2014 September 22, 14:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 22 September 2014: SKF has launched a new tapered roller bearing unit (TBU) for passenger railway applications that will boost bearing service life by up to 40% compared to existing solutions. It can also help reduce fatigue failures, helping OEMs and end users to increase safety and maximise profit.
This next generation bearing unit, for maximum speeds of 160-250km/h, meets the needs of railway operators who are looking for ways to cut maintenance costs and time without impacting safety. The new bearing enables OEMs to offer extended bearing service intervals to match those of wheelsets; this means that rail operators can align maintenance intervals to avoid service interruptions and keep as many trains as possible in operation. Enabling two maintenance operations in one stop with potentially fewer bearing replacements also means a significant reduction in overall maintenance costs.
"Bearing life calculations indicate up to 40% increased bearing life compared to the existing solutions," says Milan Soukup, SKF Railway Business Development Manager. "In addition, SKF lab tests indicate a 30% friction moment decrease, while patented heat treatment "SKF Xbite" improves overall robustness and performance of the bearing."
Operational features of the new TBU include higher resistance to hoop stress due to residual compressive stresses in the surface, higher wear resistance and slower crack propagation. The optimised contact geometry of the bearing unit decreases friction and maintains carrying capacity, reducing operating temperature for a longer grease life and extending the maintenance interval. Also, SKF has shown in testing that the specially enhanced central spacer included in the design contributes to less fretting corrosion and thus longer grease life.
The new TBU for railway will be a key product on display at the InnoTrans fair in Berlin, 23-26 September. The bearing will be exhibited among other innovative rail solutions, including the new class of compact tapered bearing units from SKF for heavy haul freight, the SKF Microlog Analyzer and the SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-B for bogie subsystem condition monitoring.
Visitors will find SKF in Hall 22a, booth 606.

Beat the Heat! 7 Recipes for Right Now
Looking for something to eat for dinner tonight? It's a Wednesday, and it's the middle of a week after a holiday weekend. The fridge is bare and you don't feel like cooking something hot. Heck, you don't feel like eating something hot! Here are 7 recipes that will hopefully tantalize your appetite and keep you in the kitchen. We've got sandwiches, cool summer rolls, and a pasta salad or two.
• 1 Cuban Sandwich - Simple yet hearty.
• 2 Vegetable and Mint Summer Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce - All that mint? Refreshing.
• 3 Kimchi Tofu Summer Rolls - Spicy and filling, but hardly any work.
• 4 Farmer's Lunch Sandwich - Crunchy and fresh.
• 5 Broccoli and Feta Pasta Salad - Light, tangy, and a good meal.
• 6 Tortellini and Spring Vegetable Salad - Creamy tortellini and a heap of fresh vegetables.
• 7 Garlic Greens with Pine Nuts and an Egg - Quick! Stir-fry some greens with garlic, and put a poached egg or fried egg on top. Yummy and easy.
If none of these recipes appeal to you, why not just pick up some good cheese and a loaf of bread on the way home from work? Make a salad, pour a glass of cold wine, and eat light and simple. We hope you're staying cool in the heat, and eating well tonight.
What's keeping you in the kitchen, these heatstruck days? What are you eating to stay cool?

Apple's new iPhone 5S, which comes with a fingerprint scanner, won't store actual images of users' fingerprints on the device, a company spokesman confirmed Wednesday, a decision that could ease concerns from privacy hawks.Rather, Apple's new Touch ID system only stores "fingerprint data", which remains encrypted within the iPhone's processor, a company representative said Wednesday. The phone then uses the digital signature to unlock itself or make purchases in Apple's iTunes, iBooks or App stores. In practice, this means that even if someone cracked an iPhone's encrypted chip, they likely wouldn't be able to reverse engineer someone's fingerprint.
This seems relatively safe - but then again, only if you trust that government agencies don't have some sort of backdoor access anyway. This used to be tinfoil hat stuff, but those days are long gone.
I dislike the characterisation of privacy "hawks", though. It reminds me of how warmongering politicians in Washington are referred to as 'hawks", and at least in my view, it has a very negative connotation.

Those who thought the Tim Burton-Johnny Depp movie update felt long will feel differently if they tackle this ... a set of the entire 1966-71 ABC daytime serial, encompassing 131 discs, more than 1,200 episodes and a plethora of bonus features.
Jonathan Frid - who sadly passed away right before the recent movie's release - became iconic as Barnabas Collins, the two-centuries-old vampire determined to make right in the present the wrongs of the past. Kate Jackson got her start on the show, which also features Joan Bennett, David Selby, Lara Parker and Kathryn Leigh Scott. *** (Not rated: AS, V)

Nate Berkus Kitchens: From Milan to Chicago
With Nate Berkus premiering his very own television show next week, we thought we would take a look at the incredible kitchens he has designed (and lived in). We'll start in Chicago and move straight to Milan since we have our heads in Italy here at The Kitchn this week:
- First up is the kitchen from Berkus' Chicago apartment. Its vintage charm has long made it a favorite of ours.
- Next is of the kitchen in the Milan apartment of Berkus and Brian Atwood. It's super-sleek (kind of like Milan itself) in tones of gray with cool slate flooring.
- This kitchen project was commissioned for a Malibu beach house.
- A Manhattan townhouse's classic kitchen with a rear wall of steel-framed windows.
- This Tampa home has a cool-and-warm material palette (and is that two kitchen islands?).
For Nate's latest and greatest, take a look at this video tour from Oprah.com. It's of his new Chelsea apartment in a building designed by French architect Jean Nouvel. The kitchen is white and bright with an awesome storage wall.

Ed Murray, Mayor
SUBJECT: Bail set at $100,000 for Michael Shawn Stanley
Kimberly Mills (206) 684-8602
Seattle Municipal Court Judge Karen Donohue set bail at $100,000 today for registered sex offender Michael Shawn Stanley on a misdemeanor harassment charge filed by the City Attorney's Office.
CAO asked for the unusually high bail for a misdemeanor based on information from the King County Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating a separate, alleged sexual assault by Stanley on a teenage male. Stanley, an American citizen, re-entered the United States recently from Canada where he has an extensive sex crimes record. Also, in this state, he has been convicted of first-degree burglary and DUI.
The misdemeanor charge alleges that Stanley, while intoxicated, was making loud noises in an alley behind a residence in West Seattle. When the victim asked him to be quiet, Stanley repeatedly said he would beat the victim up.
The City's sentencing recommendation is 364 days in jail/274 days suspended, an anti-harassment order and a substance-abuse evaluation plus any recommended follow-up (with Stanley remaining under the court's jurisdiction for two years).

5 Thoughts on the Oscar Nominations (Part 1)Posted by HeroOfCanton, Jan 22 2009, 09:30 PM
(Sorry for the long break from blogging, but I suspect that at least for Oscar Season, I'll be around more.)
As I get them prepared, I thought I would share five things I find interesting about this year's Oscar nominees. (For a complete list of nominees, you can look just about anywhere, but here's the official Academy site.)
1. Does the Academy have a problem with brown foreigners?
For a long time, the Academy lived under a cloud of racism, with everyone assuming the members were too old and too white to vote for actors who weren't white and spoke the King's English. It was 24 years between Hattie McDaniel and Sindey Poitier and another 26 years until Denzel Washington. But then it looked as thought things might be changing with wins and nominations for Hallie Barry, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, and others. And for years only world superstar Sophia Loren could claim an acting win for a foreign language film, but then Roberto Benigni won, and last year all four acting awards went to non-Americans, including a foreign language performance from Marion Cotillard.
So perhaps the explanation for the Academy's oversight of Slumdog Millionaire in the acting categories is that they like minorities and foreigners now, but not foreign brown people? Especially when the names are hard to pronounce--actually, Dev Patel is pretty easy, but who's counting? Speaking of Patel, he did receive a Supporting Actor nomination from SAG, but Oscar voters decided to go with Michael Shannon, who reports claim is the best thing in Revolutionary Road, so maybe it was the right choice. However, it is awfully suspicious, and rare, for a movie to recieve 10 nominations, including Best Picture, without reaping a single acting bid. After all, how many movies are 10-nominations good without having, you know, good actors?

DailyDirt: Computers Creating Content...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- A machine learning algorithm (named DeepBeat) writes rap lyrics based on its analysis of over a hundred human rap artists. Artificial intelligence might be able to create some rhyme schemes that are far more complex than many humans, but it's not so good at conveying a coherent story or message with its skills (yet). [url]
- There's a computer program that writes formulaic sexist jokes, modeled after some human comedians who use the same technique. These algorithmically-generated jokes are generally bad puns -- such as "I like my women like I like my gas ... natural" and "I like my men like I like my court ... superior." [url]
- Computer generated images (CGI) are usually easy to spot because they don't look like a human could draw them by hand, but what about cartoons drawn by an algorithm that was specifically made to look hand-drawn? Randall Munroe might be able to go on an indefinite vacation if he can combine the right algorithms to replace himself. [url]

I am taking a class in PHP. I am following instructions to set up my work environment in Dreamweaver. I am using an Imac, dual core, running snow leopard, and have loaded xampp onto my machine. Dreamweaver version CS3.
Class instructions say to set up my local site with following path: Applications/xampp/htdocs. My DW wants me to use : instead of /, so when I set up the local site, this is what my path looks like. Macintosh HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:
When I try to save my first page, as a .php, I get the following error message: Access to MacintoshHD:applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:hello.php was denied. I get this error message on both of my macs, so it is a problem in my path, not individual to my machine.
There is something wrong with my path, but I don't know what it is. I cannot create path with / instead of :, DW won't allow it. I tried creating a path exactly as instructed in the lesson, but that did not help. I don't know what I am missing because I am just starting so I don't know what to look for. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance....
