Since colonial times Americans have used the militia to maintain local order during both war and peacetime. States have intermittently created, maintained, deployed, and disbanded countless militia organizations outside the scope of the better-known National Guard. Barry M. Stentiford tells the story of these militia unitsavariously called home guards, State Guard, National Guard Reserve, and State Defense Forces. Stentiford traces the evolution of the militia over the past century, demonstrating its transformation from an amalgamation of state militia units into the National Guard, a reserve of the army. Ironically, the very existence of the National Guard made the creation of other militia forces necessary during periods of war. The home guards or State Guard were organized to fill the vacuum left when the National Guard was called up, depriving states of an organized militia that could be mobilized for repelling invasions, suppressing riots, controlling strikes, or guarding the waterfront. Stentiford carefully analyzes the challenges that faced the State Guards as states sought to build their new militia with leftover men and material. He also examines the role of the State Guard: providing relief during and after natural disasters, providing military training for future draftees, and broadening participation in military units during wartime by giving a role to men who, because of their age or occupation, could not join the federal forces. The State Guard gained a new significance in the Cold War, especially as the political unpalatability of a draft and reductions in the size of the full-time military expanded the functions of the National Guard in military policy. Today modern state militias, born to an ancient tradition, must define a role for themselves in a society that increasingly views them as anachronistic. They mut also compete ideologically with so-called unorganized militias for the title of true heir to the American militia tradition.Books Adams, Elliott B., and Dafferner, Frank T.

11/22/63. Below is a tune mentioned in the book several times, "In The Mood," by the late and great Glenn Miller. In the book the characters dance the Lindie Hop to this song in several key scenes. As King puts it: "To dance is to live," or something close to that. Check it out (the dance appears occasionally, but however danced to the music groves):
Too Cool!!!!!!!!!!
Okay enough, let's get to some reviews of other books I have read lately. Let me know what you think if you get the time.
The Last Apprentice - Rise of The Huntress by Joseph Delaney - This installment of The Last Apprentice Series has the Spook, Tom, Alice and Tom's dogs Claw, Blood and Bone. Returning from their epic adventure in Greece. Their land is at war with invaders and when they arrive home they find the Spook's house destroyed and that some very dangerous prisoners have escaped (one being the witch Boney Lizzie, Alice's mother and a darn powerful witch who uses bone and blood magic). They decide it is best to leave and cross the ocean to the island of Mona. This turns out to be a big mistake as they are not welcome and things go very wrong, very quickly. They find big trouble on Mona as Boney Lizzy has also relocated there and about taken over the entire island with the help of a terrible demon known as a buggane (it hides beneath the earth and tunnels sucking the life force out of its victims). Lizzy has a score to settle with the Spook and the Spook appears to be weakening with age. Tom and Alice with the help of others must take up the slack for the weakened Spook and also keep on their toes because who knows when the Fiend will show up. Recommended for those 10 and up.
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull - This is the first book in a series about 14-year-old Kendra and 12-year-old Seth Sorenson who have to spend their summer at a nature preserve run by their grandparents. Their Grandpa Sorenson is present when they first arrive, but their Grandmother is conspicuously absent. They are given strict rules to follow and told to never leave the house or it's yard without being accompanied by a responsible party. Grandpa Sorenson has two helpers that live in or near the house, Dale a quite man who likes to be left alone and Lena the kind housekeeper. What they do not know and come to discover is that this nature preserve is much more than meets the eye. It is actually a land preserve for magical creature (both good, neutral or evil) that has to be carefully watched over for the safety of all its inhabitants and the rest of the world in general! Their are fairies, centaurs, golems, naiads, witches, demons among many other creatures on the preserve that have to carefully be kept in certain areas and separated for many reasons. There are certain times of the year when these areas are opened and the creatures allowed to roam. This can be a very dicey and dangerous time and the caretakers make sure to be in their well protected home on the preserve at these times for safety reasons. Kendra and Seth quickly find out what the preserve is all about and find wonders and great dangers that they have to deal with. The main being the witch Muriel Taggert and the demon Bahumat and finding out what happened to their Grandmother and how they can save her. This is a fun and exciting story filled with equal amounts of chills and laughter. Also it is the first in a series that I look forward to reading. Recommended for those 10 years and up.
Later all and peace,

Musician and vinyl enthusiast Jack White is this year's Record Store Day Ambassador.
He has recorded the above film and also written an impassioned plea to everyone to get out and visit a record shop.
"Years ago someone told me that 1,200 high school kids were given a survey. A question was posed to them: Have you ever been to a stand-alone record shop? The number of kids that answered "yes" was… zero.
Zero? How could that be possible? Then I got realistic and thought to myself, "Can you blame them?" How can record shops (or any shop for that matter) compete with Netflix, TiVo, video games that take months to complete, cable, texting, the Internet, etc. etc? Getting out of your chair at home to experience something in the real world has started to become a rare occurrence, and to a lot of people, an unnecessary one. Why go to a bookstore and get a real book? You can just download it. Why talk to other human beings, discuss different authors, writing styles and influences? Just click your mouse. Well here's what they'll someday learn if they have a soul; there's no romance in a mouse click. There's no beauty in sitting for hours playing video games (anyone proud of that stop reading now and post your opinion in the nearest forum). The screen of an iPhone is convenient, but it's no comparison to a 70mm showing of a film in a gorgeous theater. The Internet is two-dimensional…helpful and entertaining, but no replacement for face-to-face interaction with a human being. But we all know all of that, right? Well, do we? Maybe we know all that, but so what?
Let's wake each other up."
Read the rest of Mr.White's polemic here and then get yourself down to your nearest record store and set your life back on track.

A Folio Society limited edition
Illustrated by Quentin Blake
Introduced by James Wood
Translated by E. J. Kenney
A new limited edition of Apuleius' enormously entertaining and immensely influential novel, featuring exuberant illustrations by Quentin Blake. Each copy is signed and numbered by the artist. Fewer than 10 remain
Published price: US$ 585.00
The 2nd-century writer and orator Apuleius had a chequered but ultimately glorious career which took him from his native North Africa to Athens and Rome, and from being tried for witchcraft to being appointed a priest of the Roman imperial cult. To the ancients he was primarily famous as a neo-Platonist thinker, but to later centuries his reputation rests on a work which has had an incalculable impact on the development of Western literature – The Golden Ass.
'The most continuously and accessibly amusing book that has come down to us from classical antiquity'
'A book, like a person, has its fortunes with one; is lucky or unlucky in the precise moment of its falling in our way, and often by some happy accident ranks with us for something more than its independent value. The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, coming to Marius just then, figured for him as indeed The golden book … It occupied always a peculiar place in his remembrance, never quite losing its power in repeated returns to it for the revival of that first glowing impression.'
'The book of books, the "golden" book of that day'
An extract from
James Wood's introduction
The Golden Ass, though in many ways a characteristic fiction of its time, is a work of genius that bursts out of its historical moment; one that has had an enormous influence on the history of the novel, and which continues to influence contemporary literature. But this runs the risk of making Apuleius' book sound worthy, solemn and scholastic, when it is above all very entertaining – bawdy, funny, irreverent, outrageous …
Our task is not to sympathise (or not too strongly, at least) with Lucius, let alone to 'empathise' with him. Our task is to enjoy the comedy of his misfortune, and to benefit from the lesson of his moral correction and redemption . . . Thanks to the farcical, episodic, picaresque nature of Lucius' sufferings, they take on a cartoonish quality. We understand that each beating cannot really be life-threatening, cannot be truly serious, cannot be truly real, because we know that another beating will come around tomorrow. Lucius is a comic survivor. In this sense, perhaps, the god of Laughter, though undeniably cruel, is also finally 'kindly' – no true harm will befall our benighted hero …
What begins as a young man's picaresque adventure and becomes a raucous and outlandish tale told by an ass-idiot, ends in clouds of harmony and religious rectitude. But perhaps we remember, at this point, that the title Apuleius seems to have given this work – the one found on the manuscript – is Metamorphoses, or 'Transformations'. Here, at last, is the ultimate metamorphosis, the most important one, in which rogue turns into religionist, learned fool into holy fool; and in which the very gods themselves metamorphose, from malevolent to benign.

Nobody knows their lives .It seemed they never lived except some famous people like kings, scientists ,great religious leaders and etc.In the other words we don't know what people will tell about us after our death. whether the judge about us better than what we are or less.so I like they hear about me by my own autobiography ,too.Its interesting to say that there are many graves left alone in the graveyards and nobody visit them, because its descendants are either too busy or too far to attend at the grave. At last I can declare I set up the first online grave in the world ( this website ) as my online grave not to be forgotten,those who love me be able to meet my online grave whenever and wherever they are and hear about me by myself.
The first gravetree in the world.
I don't know who performed the idea of tree grave for the first time because there are many graves with tree on them in Iran and some other countries.I tried to find out where these trees grew on these graves by themselves or somebody planted them.So I don't claim that I'm the first one who performed this idea but at least im the first one who tries to make familiar all people of the world with this idea.And also I hope to encourage other people to use gravetree in all over the world by reading my website. Please introduce this web to your friends in order to cooperate in this WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN .
Why did I prefer the gravetree to gravestone?
First of all gravetree is a new word I named it two days ago. I mean planting a tree on the grave instead of a gravestone by saying it.
I don't want my children to put a gravestone on my grave and waste two meters of land by doing that because nothing will grow on the stones. So I the plant a tree on my grave instead of a grave stone after Im buried like other people. Then they hang my little identification plug on it. It has at least two uses:
1-They can cut the tree and sell it to spend the money on x every some years.
2-These green trees will bring about fresh air and oxygen for all alive people.

Actor Elli Avram might still be finding her feet in Bollywood, but she doesn't like being referred to as an outsider. The 26-year-old actor, who has worked in films such as Mickey Virus (2013), Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015) and Naam Shabana (2017), says, "I guess, I'm very much a part of the industry. When you get work in Bollywood, you automatically become a part of it."
The Swedish-Greek actor got popular after she took part in the reality show Bigg Boss 7 (2013) as a contestant, and her innocence won her many fans. However, making a mark in Bollywood still seems to be a long journey for her.
Asked why she hasn't been getting enough offers, the 26-year-old actor says that she has often noticed that Bollywood filmmakers are not too keen on casting new actors from outside India. "It is easy to have a perception of people but I feel that filmmakers should give the actor a chance to audition for a role, and after that, if they feel that one can't play the character, they are more than welcome to reject them," says Elli. She adds that a lot of people in the industry don't even know that she speaks Hindi fluently.
"I'm very comfortable with the language and understand it very well. Rather, for all my script narrations, I get it done in Hindi only because it gives more clarity. If you narrate anything to me in English and I have to play the character in Hindi, it makes no sense," adds the actor, who has shared screen space with actors Maniesh Paul, Kapil Sharma and Akshay Kumar.
Elli shares that directors impressed with her dialect often enquire, 'Hindi aati hai?' "And I keep looking at their faces because I don't [understand] why they have this perception, especially when I have been here for so long. I usually respond to them in Hindi and they get shocked," says Elli, admitting that it does get irritating.
"Because of this language barrier, you can't deprive me of a chance to audition for a hardcore Indian role. Obviously, it is not that I have to always play the real Elli Avram [with accent]. I can easily get into a different character. That's something I feel should change and every actor should get the opportunity they deserve," states Elli, according to The Hindustan Times.

Guest Post: Pets are Part of the Family
The following guest post comes from Ben from Beloved Pets, a pet and home animal blog.
Taking care of a pet requires a lot of responsibility, time and love. If you think about it, it is kind of like taking care of a baby. The only exception is that they get autonomous a lot faster. After all, we are not here to teach them how to live like the other animals of their species. With some love and attention, pets will easily become part of the family. You'll find yourself turning your vacation plans around to fit their needs and comfort.
Over the years, our dogs and cats have gone from just some creature hanging around to siblings, children, etc. Movies also definitely set the trends. Films like Lassie Come Home, Beethoven or, more recently, Marley and Me, have inspired us to consider our pets like family.
Each of us loves our pets differently. Some of us like to dress them, others don't care. I think the most important thing is that you give him or her attention and love because they deserve it.
At Beloved Pets, we understand that you want the best for your companions! We give you tips, information and review products so you can be updated with the latest news concerning the life of your pets. Come check out our pet section on Pocket Change.

Gaudi wished the temple, which is still being built, to be financed by the people, not by taxes or funding, and that?s just what your entrance fees do (included in our tour price): finance the completion of the building, which started construction in 1882.
Tour members can stay after the tour concludes and savor the building for as long as they like. Go up the towers by elevator, visit the crypt and museum, and compare the contrasting styles of the Birth and Passion facades.

Access is denied hell! No suggestions have worked
I have a

I have tried to take ownership of it, but I only get access is denied.
Whatever I click on when it comes to

I have downloaded the fix which is supposed to grant access denied by a right click, but of course it doesn't work.
I have tried to switch to be a net admin in the

I think this part of Windows 7 (file sharing) must be among the worst things
Microsofthas done in history.
Even Microsoft Bob is forgiven when compared to this.

Then it hit me that it hadn't done that before when I try to change the permissions.
Maybe it was the permissions for "system" that made it "wake up".

Ray Bradbury Is Dead
Ray Bradbury is dead. That is the news I woke up to this morning. I still can't believe it is real.
Recently, with so many pop culture deaths, I have had to write more than a few memorial pieces here on the blog. A dear friend told me just a few weeks ago I was very good at it. I would like to do the same here for this man I admire so much, but I can't. I just can't. I have no words. Other folks will have to do it for me, as they have done here.
Again, I have no words. People often talk of the day that Bill Haley died, or when John Lennon was shot, or when Kurt Cobain took his own life, as the day the music died. This is the day of no words.
The man was an inspiration, a genius, a forefather, an icon, perhaps one of the best writers of our time. I could read Bradbury's work over and over again and always get enjoyment and wonder, and still learn from it on each reading. His words made me think. I could say that Harlan Ellison and Stephen King made me want to write, but Ray Bradbury made me want to read.
Ray Bradbury is dead. Today is a day without words.

We're back with Gillian Muessig, who is the founding president of SEOmoz.org and SEOmoz! If you missed Part One, you can check it out here.
In Part 1, you made the points of building community and transparency. Your points are insightful and absolutely true. I think that when companies focus on their core values and who they are inside, they build something strong; like you have done at SEOmoz. Small business entrepreneurs just starting out; what would you tell them? Where do they focus first? Do they focus on the fan-base? Do they focus on their internal core?Gillian: Brilliant content. Literally begin by building brilliant content. Figure out what you really need to know and what you already do know. Share that, give a hand up, give a leg up, help those who are behind you. That establishes your authority in the industry; It establishes your knowledge. You are not throwing smoke and mirrors at anybody. You are not talking about secret sauce. That is nonsense and people see right through it. People who begin in business are often worried that if they share the knowledge of what it is they are doing; others will say "now I can do it myself because you taught me how." I counsel to know the difference between the client and the client-want-to-be. A client-want-to-be wants to be a client but does not want to pay. There are several reasons that client does not want to pay.
- They cannot. That is OK; give them all the knowledge they need to begin. When they are ready, they will see that this is what they do for a living, and that is what you do for a living. They know that you know your stuff because you gave them information and it really worked. They will become a client; grow them.
- The second kind say they can do it themselves and go ahead and do it themselves. They will never be a client. They didn't want to be and they didn't want to pay you. They will only bring you grief.
Don't fear sharing fully, openly and completely. It establishes your authority, brilliance and expertise in the field. Do that and then market it. There really isn't build it and they will come, it is build it and then market it and then they will come. Build this corpus of information. Infographics are brilliant, short videos are wonderful. Nice that you do a short video, but do it every week and offer something new; that creates consistency and people will come and see it consistently. That is an important part. From there I would say to now go out into the social field. Go into places like Google plus, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter. Tell people what you have written. Comment deeply on other people's discussions and topics. Other people have blogs, go in there and don't just say thumbs up or thumbs down. Never cross the line between it and you, always discuss the subject and never the author. The authors are not stupid and dumb, and the idea isn't dumb. You get in there and tell them why you disagree and you come up with a better answer. That is commenting deeply, that is being appropriately intelligent about your disagreement with the other guy. Or you can agree more fully on something you do agree with. You can honestly say "and I have written a blog myself and you can get more information over here." Make sure your blog post doesn't just rehash what is already out there, it really gives people additional comments. Again, write brilliantly, share everything and then go out and market it by saying "I am part of this conversation," you commented on other places, and bring people over to your own. You tweet out. The first person to follow will likely be your Mom, the second might by your Dad. Begin somewhere and slowly the word will get out.
Gillian, that is phenomenal. Phenomenal advice, I love what you talked about. About the people who just want free stuff as opposed to the people who really want to spend time and money with you.
Gillian: Sometimes it isn't that they cannot afford it; they just don't want to spend the money. And when they cannot, it is up to you to go out and build them and support them. That is the concept of generosity, the giving and taking, understanding that you live in an eco-system of the same world. You cannot do this on your own. If your customers are not ready to buy, help them to be profitable enough so that they can buy. When it is time to buy, they will want to buy from you, because you were the one who helped them get there.
I am sure that of the billion people who read your blog, not all of them are your customers currently or you would be very busy and would not have the time to talk to me right now. But, at some point the cycle keeps going. When they have the money and the budget they come to you and talk.
Gillian: There are a number of folks out there who will never be customers of SEOmoz. That is OK, too. We are still giving them that information generously and freely. There are folks in the world who will never afford it. That is OK. You build a robust, global economic society by supporting everybody in every way they can receive it. We know that not everything we do will bring a dollar back to SEOmoz. As an industry and corporate evangelist , when I go out to events I look and question whether it will bring back money to SEOmoz in the next couple of years. If the answer is no, then is it an emerging market? Do they need us? Is it a place where the civility of a new economic platform will make this a better place to live? Wherever I can make this a better place to be on this planet, it will be better for me as well. I may never see a dollar from it, but the civility comes from people who have opportunity and hope. Terrorists do not thrive in places where people have hope.
That is absolutely true. Gillian I want to thank you so much for taking the time out of what I know is a very busy day. This completes my interview with Gillian Muessig from SEOmoz.org. If you are not a subscriber to their amazing amount of information, I highly encourage you to do so. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information with us!

Now Casting: Please Marry My Boy Looking For Contestants
In I didn't see this one coming but it looks like Channel Seven are considering going ahead with a second season of Please Marry My Boy.
They have announced they are looking for mother's and sons, and single ladies looking for love.
The show rated OK for the network but maybe because it was cheap to make – no big prize money, people staying in the family home, and sponsored dates so maybe that is why they decided to have a crack at another series.
They applications are open for nearly three months until 1 March 2013, there has been no official announcement, maybe they are waiting to see what type of applicants they get before they give it the official go ahead.
If you are interested go to Yahoo7 Casting.

Watched it last season. Totally confident that it couldn't get any worse.
Milena and Vlad were memorable characters for me. Quality Adelaide reality tv fodder.
- 2 Eliza { 12.11.12 at 11:42 pm }
I saw the ad tonight and said the exact same thing as to why they would do another season – because it's cheap!! One thing The Amazing Race isn't…!
I wouldn't be placing any bets, BDD.. channel 7 could still outdo themselves in the cringe worthy stakes! Ughh I have flashbacks to Vlad slobbering all over one of those poor girl's faces. The guy with the obsession for fake looking girls was a real creep!
- 3 Georgie { 12.12.12 at 7:41 am }
Yeah it was so bad it was good. What I liked was the lack of scripting, so the real personalities came out along with their predjudices and preferences.
I agree bdd, the Milats were memorable and so was Karen whose approach to the potential wives was 'you marry my boy you marry me'. Also shallow Tony and his long suffering mum Elva and Magdelena who actually thought she'd 'won' him.
- 4 Carole { 12.12.12 at 9:30 am }
Never watched the first series, thought it was a dumb concept and didn't see the point of it. The ads were enough to put me off it. Definitely won't bother with the 2nd series. I'm sure there will be plenty of other shows on TV that I would prefer to spend my time watching.
- 5 Morgan { 12.12.12 at 9:34 am }
This has to be one of the most humiliating shows on airwaves right now.
- 6 brain dead dave { 12.12.12 at 11:10 am }
Yes, it's right up there in the humiliation stakes and the competition there is hot with The Biggest Loser, Embarrassing Bodies, Don't Blame The Dog etc.
So many reality TV shows seem to include ritual humiliation of the contestants in various forms, even the so called "marquis" shows like Ma$terchef.
Georgie, I haven't forgotten Karen . Like a sun beaten , swarthy T.Rex in footy shorts with peroxide mullet , iron fist and set in stone demands that the son/daughter in law would have to live in the same suburb. No way, Mumzilla.
- 7 brain dead dave { 12.12.12 at 11:31 am }
Der…that would be "marquee" shows, sorry in previous comment.
- 9 brain dead dave { 12.12.12 at 12:21 pm }
Yes, Elva was great . She'll just have to somehow dig deep and deal with the conga line of pole dancers that Tony will be bringing home to meet her in the future.
- 10 Culinary Boner { 12.12.12 at 1:28 pm }

CB yor photo says after-the-ball debonaire but your nom-de-plume invites the drawing that would please Mrs CB. To return the favour go to my home page The Silk Caravan.
When I get the time I WILL do these cartoons and post them for you.
They will be based on my imagination etc but I will include some 'suave' for you.
- 12 Georgie { 12.12.12 at 6:08 pm }
Lol bdd, T.Rex – and I'd actually forgotten about Karen's mullet.
The mum from the Hunter or Central Coast was Anne and her son Brendan. He always looked like a kid in a candy store – he couldn't believe his good fortune that Anna was throwing herself at (or under) him at every opportunity.
- 13 Stacey { 12.12.12 at 8:42 pm }
And I'm back!
I didn't mind this show. I pretty much watched it when nothing else was on but found myself tuning into the finale episode to find out which mum picked who. Might watch it again will look out for promos next year.
They had some great characters on last season, Tony, Tammy, Elva, Costansa and of course, peroxide mullet mum.
CB- I though Karen the peroxide mulleted head was Brendans mum? I know there was Vlad, Brendan and Tony, was there another boy I'm forgetting?
- 14 Eliza { 12.13.12 at 12:03 am }
Welcome back, Stacey! Matt was Karen's son.. He was somewhat good looking (prob the best pick in the bunch IMO) but he was also quite bland on TV as he didn't have a strong defining trait like the others.
The characters were definitely more real compared to other shows. I am an absolute sucker for reality dating shows so will no doubt tune in!
- 15 Stacey { 12.13.12 at 4:03 pm }
Thanks Eliza! I can't remember what some of them look like so I might google. I agree, this was a better-than-the-average dating show that was quite funny at times, and I of course loved the Australian 'Dinner Date'.

Product info
The exotic plant, the Euphorbia bupleurifolia looks strange and unusual in appearance. Its leaves grow on top of a broad stem, which looks like a sort of large pine cone. Those leaves are long and become broader towards the tip. The Euphorbia bupleurifolia is native to South Africa. This exotic plant is easy to care for, since it can stand drought and requires little maintenance. This Araflora plant is well-suited to being kept in a living room or office.
Plant care
The tropical plant, the Euphorbia bupleurifolia is easy to care for. It prefers a spot in half shadow and needs little watering. During the growing season it requires a moist soil; on the other hand in the period when there is no growth, the soil must stay dry. The temperature should not drop below 10°Celsius [ 50°F ], therefore the Euphorbia bupleurifolia in Holland is mainly grown indoors, at home or in the office. The substrate for the Euphorbia bupleurifolia should be permeable with not too much organic matter. Araflora sells potting soil that has been especially developed for tropical plants like the Euphorbia bupleurifolia. Do not consume this plant; it is poisonous.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issued proposals Monday to create pilot programs for loans on mobile homes, part of an ambitious federal effort to find creative solutions for underserved and rural housing markets.
The plans would allow the government-sponsored enterprises for the first time in a decade to support manufactured home loans, also known as chattel loans because they are not backed by real estate. Roughly 70% of mobile homes are financed with chattel loans, but the market is illiquid, making it tough for many rural owners to obtain financing or to refinance.
Both Fannie and Freddie are planning to reach out to community and regional banks to develop ideas for reaching underserved markets in Appalachia and the lower Mississippi Delta as part of their programs.
"The industry has been very vocal about looking for ways to reintroduce the GSEs into the manufactured housing space," Mike Hernandez, a vice president of affordable housing at Fannie Mae, said in an interview.
The proposals, which are open for public comment until July 10, are part of a sweeping effort to serve three specific markets: manufactured housing, affordable housing preservation and rural housing.
"I strongly encourage stakeholders to submit feedback on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's proposed duty to serve underserved markets plans," Mel Watt, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said in a press release. "FHFA will evaluate stakeholder input as part of our review process to ensure that the plans help the enterprises meet their statutory obligations in a safe and sound manner."
The FHFA, which oversees Fannie and Freddie, issued a final rule in December that would give credit and grade the GSEs for certain activities that expand the secondary market in those three areas. The plans are mandated by the "duty to serve" provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
But expanding the secondary market for loans backing mobile homes is controversial. The Independent Community Bankers of America have argued that underwriting and securitizing loans on mobile homes is risky and that private mortgage insurers should be part of the solution.
Fannie's 239-page proposal calls for purchasing an additional 2,540 to 3,450 loans that would add an estimated $305 million to $425 million in liquidity to the manufactured housing market.
Fannie is seeking to reach roughly 25 lenders a year and is considering relaxing certain underwriting guidelines and issuing variances to select lenders. By the third year, Fannie would potentially be purchasing between 10,000 and 10,500 loans, which it acknowledged was "an ambitious outcome" given that higher interest rates could present challenges for loan volume.
"The real opportunity is for us to test and learn, look at some of these markets, and with new data and information we can approach things differently," Hernandez said. "A lot of times underserved means these markets have not been studied enough, and these are underserved markets for a reason, because this is a tough, tough, challenging business."
The GSE proposed three-year plans for serving each of the three market areas. The plans must receive a "nonobjection" from the FHFA, which will rate the annual performance of the plans.
Fannie also plans to engage five single-family and multifamily lenders to identify challenges and potential solutions to "creating a chattel secondary market." It plans to participate in two industry conferences, one manufactured housing home show and two regional conferences serving different geographic areas.
Freddie's 109-page plan also calls for a chattel loan pilot program with a focus on homebuyer education. Freddie expects to develop guidelines by year two of the pilot program.
Freddie also is focusing on supporting so-called resident-owned communities, which are created when investor-owned manufactured home communities are bought by their residents, which creates challenges for loan purchases.
On affordable housing, Fannie's proposal is focused on three areas: energy and water efficiency programs, shared equity programs and renovations of distressed properties. There were roughly 90,000 distressed properties nationwide at the end of 2016, with the majority in New York, New Jersey, Florida and Illinois, down from 467,000 distressed properties at the end of 2011.
Fannie also plans to conduct an analysis of the Section 8 to determine if it needs to change guidelines or increase loan purchases secured by properties with rental assistance.
Section 8 subsidies on 3,500 properties are set to expire in the next three years, and Fannie is looking to increase its volume of Section 8 loan purchases by 5% to 10% in each of the plan's last two years.
Fannie also plans to increase purchases of loans secured by low-income housing tax credit properties and to work with the USDA and others preserve Section 515 rural rental housing loans. It also will consider expanding its definition of multifamily affordable housing to support state and local efforts to preserve affordable housing for very low- and low-income families.

Haven After a Hurricane: Baylor Students Will Design a 400-square-foot Dwelling in National CompetitionOct. 22, 2012
Contact: Terry Goodrich, Assistant Director of Media Communications, (254) 710-3321
WACO, Texas (Oct. 22, 2012) - After a devastating natural disaster destroys their houses, people need a place to call home - however briefly -- while they begin to sort through problems ranging from a lack of drinking water to hunger to shattered nerves.
Enter Baylor University interior design students, with a helping hand from other students and faculty from such diverse disciplines as psychology, engineering, and film and digital media. They will design a tiny dwelling -- no more than 400 square feet - for a family of four.
The design will be entered in a national contest sponsored by the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) and Florida International University's Department of Interior Architecture. An "interest meeting" for those who wish to be involved will be held on Oct. 24, and students will huddle for an intensive, high-speed design collaboration Nov. 9-10 in The Social Design Summit: Designing for Disaster Relief Temporary Housing.
"We've never done anything like this project. It's very schematic, all-encompassing, and it engages so many of Baylor's Pro Futuris initiatives," among them Christian faith, a search for knowledge and responsibility for the world, said Greta M. Buehrle, faculty adviser for the Baylor Interior Design Association and an interior design lecturer in the department of family and consumer sciences in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences. "This will definitely be a unique learning experience for everyone involved."
To prepare for the competition, students will research what went right - and wrong - in lodging for disasters ranging from shacks following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire to Federal Emergency Management Agency trailers for disasters to the cozy Katrina Cottages in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. (Those cottages caught on later as a housing trend).
While the allotted space for the shelter is small, the challenge of designing it to aid victims physically and psychologically is huge, said Allison Lutz, a senior interior design major and president of Baylor Interior Design Association.
"My apartment is 450 square feet, but I live by myself," she said. "When you think about four people living in that space, it's hard to know where to start."
For starters, contest guidelines specify that no tents will be allowed. The unit must contain a sleeping area, a food preparation area and a bathroom, with a sustainable solution considered. Students are urged to "push the boundaries of creativity and innovation" -- all the while considering such possible problems as a lack of water fit to drink, no utilities and no waste management. To boot, the building must be quick and easy to assemble and disassemble.
Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged by competition coordinators. Students must create a three-dimensional model of the temporary lodging to include in a three-minute public service announcement video. Floor plans, elevations and news clips may be included. Students may choose the location and type of disaster, according to the guidelines.
The Texas Gulf Coast, with its potential for hurricanes and flooding, seemed a logical pick for Baylor's scenario, Lutz said.
"We've talked to faculty members and students in sociology, psychology, social work, (George W. Truett Theological Seminary), child and family studies, engineering and environmental science," Buehrle said. "It's getting good buzz."
The creative collaboration "seems to be one of those one of those projects that's a perfect match," said Chris Hansen, an associate professor and director of the Film and Digital Media Division of the department of communication at Baylor. "Our students have the ability to shoot and write the PSAs, and the design students are coming up with presentation and design elements."
Sara Dolan, Ph.D., an assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, said taking part in the project could be a good learning opportunity for students in the department's crisis intervention classes.
"After a crisis, the faster we can get people into a stable situation with housing and food, the better they will fare psychologically," said Dolan, who is in the Federal Emergency Management Agency Medical Reserve Corps. "The immediate need may be to give them a toothbrush or a bottle of water or to get them their medications, not counseling. I think we can help the interior design students understand the needs of these survivors so they can design a home."
The Baylor Interior Design Association (BIDA) will host an "interest meeting" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24. A kickoff event will be at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5, with Marla Bearden, disaster recovery specialist with Texas Baptist Disaster Recovery, to talk about the group's work in temporary disaster housing in Japan, Haiti and the Gulf Coast.
The design session from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 9 and 10. All events will be in the Goebel Building, Room 111, 1413 S. Third St. on the Baylor campus.
The project is due Dec. 15. Winners will be announced Feb. 19, 2013, at IDEC National Conference in Indianapolis, Ind.

Senators to grill Sessions' potential deputy over Russia issues
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Democrats aren't finished with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and they're using the Senate confirmation hearing for his potential second in command as an opportunity to grill him on the Trump's administration's potential ties to Russia and the President's baseless claim of being wiretapped by his predecessor.
Senators on the Judiciary Committee will question Rod J. Rosenstein, President Donald Trump's nominee for deputy attorney general, which is traditionally a low profile position. The session is expected to draw more attention given the controversy surrounding Sessions' recent decision to recuse himself from any potential investigations related to the Trump campaign or transition.
Democrats on the panel will likely use the hearing as a referendum on the conduct of Trump, whether Sessions lied under oath and how best to proceed with an investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the presidential election.
Last week, details emerged about two meetings Sessions had last year with the Russian ambassador to the US that he did not disclose during his confirmation process. If confirmed as Sessions' deputy, Rosenstein would oversee any potential investigations or prosecutions into Trump surrogates and Russians — including the key decision on whether to appoint a special prosecutor — now that Sessions has recused himself.
But views on the special prosecutor issue break along party lines.
"We're going to ask him point blank whether a special prosecutor is necessary," said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin on CNN's "New Day" Tuesday morning — whereas Judiciary Committee Chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley, is expected to underscore the transparency and accountability failings of special counsel inquiries in his opening remarks.
Rosenstein could also likely face questions about Trump's claim from over the weekend that President Barack Obama ordered the then-Republican presidential nominee be wiretapped, without presenting any evidence to back up the claim. Obama, though a spokesman, has denied doing so, as has his former director of national intelligence, James Clapper.
Rosenstein, a career prosecutor, currently serves as the US attorney for the District of Maryland. He won unanimous Senate confirmation to his current post in 2005 under President George W. Bush and stayed on as the top federal prosecutor in Baltimore under the Obama administration.
The committee will also hear from Trump's nominee for associate attorney general, Rachel Brand, who, if confirmed, will oversee the Civil Division, which defends the administration in the hotly contested lawsuits over the travel ban.

MORRISVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- BingoNet Store: After you join, you find out that the store is only open twice a month, with very limited Gift Certificates. 10 Seconds and they are out of stock. The store will tell you when you "try" to get your next Gift Certificate, right to the second. Don't believe that. I have gotten in the store only to click on the Gift Certificate only to be told I cannot purchase. Support's answer was that you cannot get a Gift Certificate until 24 hours after your 30 days? They will never admit that they have a problem and give you the Gift Certificate that you should have received. So which is it?
Every 30 days or every Month and ½ for Gift Certificates? The "Cliques" on BingoNet do not have a problem with the store, raffles, tournaments or getting points. You can view their points on the top 10 every night or in the BingoNet league with year to date. Playing only a few hours they seem to have good cards every day, some more than 500,000 since January. I can't prove if there's cheating or not, but it makes you wonder.
Chat Abuse: When I first started playing at BingoNet, I was confronted and followed by members of "Clique". They are a main "clique" that makes rude, ugly & racial remarks when they find a target. I send an email to support. They reply that they would handle the situation. I had to change my BingoNet ID and was told to use the ignore button.
They gave an excuse that they thought I was someone else. So they allow this "clique" to abuse other players, the "abusees" should use the ignore button. Anyone who joins the site should be wary of the "cliques" (I won't use their user names, but their room is OneLine, where you can find all of them. These are long time players and seem to have the Management's (Vera) support.
Management's Approval of Abuse: I have seen where this "clique" has gotten so far out of hand with racial remarks, and physical threats on others that Vera (management) was called in. At first Vera threatens to remove their chat, then she stays to chat with the "clique". Laughing and stating to the one that was abused to use the "ignore" button. She makes remarks such as: "if I was a player I would be in your group (clique)"
I have reported many abuses of other players, only to be told that they did not see any abuse in the chat log. I now know how to copy chat, alternate, control, print screen and paste into email or word document. This still will not do any good with Management. Chat rules change as they suit the management, and will never be written on the site.
Privacy Abuse: In BingoNet's Privacy Policy it states "In addition, our employees and any 3rd parties are contractually bound to protect the confidentiality of your information and access is restricted to those with a need to know the information to carry out the identified purpose". I have seen Vera (management) in chat state in chat when asked where a player is "Let me check if she's paid up", "yes she is, maybe she is sick". Also, "this player that is saying she is leaving the site in chat, is the second highest paid out in GC's $??? (gives the amount) for the year and has no room to talk about this site."
Also a CL when questioned on a player, stating "email me after this and I will give you her email address"? Where is the Confidentiality or Privacy? (Management) conducts herself more like a player than the Manager. Many players have Management & Employees of BingoNet on IM. I would like to know if any of the "cliques" are relatives, instead of friends of the management.
On May 21 2007, Vera the owner's ID was hacked on the site. The player using the ID, said their name was Bren and had permission to play under Vera's name by Vera. Many suspect it was Vera's grandchild. The CL on duty had to ban the ID to remove them from the site. Vera came in later, stating that it was a new player and she had given them her password by mistake. HOW SECURE IS THIS SITE. WHERE IS THE SECURITY IN KEEPING OUR PRIVATE INFORMATION SAFE.
What other information could or did this person get into. I'm sure Management will cover the butts by having a player come in as saying they are new and somehow typed in Vera's name and password. This is A BUSINESS and is not being run as a business. They should consider having this site run by other management.
Getting out: The only way to get out of BingoNet is to change your Mastercard or Visa. Call them up and have your Card number changed. They will continue to charge your account if you don't. What can we do? Mark Burgess is owner, as far as I know and still has address in US phone directory active as V3 Networks, 1101 Aviation Parkway, Morrisville, NC 27560, Phone (919)462-9652 not US phone number.
I have written Mr. Burgess asking for all my Money back for these abuses, no reply. But now BingoNet states it is a Canadian Internet Company P O Box 1336 Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A5C7 919-462-9652. I have been searching with no results for any US Federal Laws to make this Company adhere to their polices and make them accountable. And to provide all true policies, including Chat, Right of Players, Privacy, Code of Conduct, Store Policy, GC's and Discrimination. US companies have to provide this, A Canadian Internet Company selling to US should have the same regulations.

Who Bombed in India?
The CIA, according to the author of a classified CIA report. The mainstream U.S. press, according to Village Voice media critic James Ledbetter.
The author of the CIA report, Adm. David E. Jeremiah, chastises the Company on Page 1 of today's New York Times for failing to note the obvious clues that the Indians were about to detonate their nuclear bombs. He also rips the CIA for not employing enough on-the-ground spies in India and for relying too heavily on orbiting satellites, which produce more data than its haggard analysts can interpret. Jeremiah echoes the views voiced last month by the Hill's intelligence-oversight committees, which expressed astonishment that the intelligence establishment's $27-billion-a-year budget wasn't adequate for the job.
But as Ledbetter wrote late last month, the "surprise" detonation of the Indian nukes constitutes more of a press failure than it does an intelligence failure. Ledbetter's database search uncovered more than 500 stories and dozens of broadcasts since the beginning of the year that announced the intentions of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to make India a genuine nuclear power. "The problem is that almost none of them appeared in mainstream American publications," writes Ledbetter. "Prior to the actual detonation, for example, the New York Times never published the story everyone today says was obvious: that the BJP's electoral manifesto contained a pro-nuke plank. The Washington Post...included the nuke angle in the last two paragraphs of a story on March 19."
Now that Adm. Jeremiah has retired from the U.S. Navy, he might want to join Ledbetter as a media critic. Listen as the admiral complains about the institutional failings of the CIA: It sounds like he's griping about the flat-footed U.S. press!
"You fall into a pattern," Jeremiah says, and "you start to expect things to happen... .You need to have a contrarian view." CIA managers are passive, he says, when they should be saying, "Who's in charge? Take charge. Make things happen."
Jeremiah praises the quality of the CIA's staff--Chatterbox is equally admiring of the quality of U.S. journalists--but concludes that they must be "much more aggressive in thinking through how the other guy thought."

Scientology Kids Celebrate Drug-Free Christmas in Toronto
Scientology-sponsored Drug-Free Marshals of Toronto held 24th annual Christmas Festival
It looked a lot like Christmas at Dundas Square in downtown Toronto last Sunday, when more than 2,000 attended the 24th Annual Drug-Free Christmas Festival, organized and co-sponsored by the Church of Scientology of Toronto.
Superintendent David McCormack of the Toronto Police (52 Division) delivered a special message from Police Chief William Blair and commended the Drug-Free Marshals for their work teaching other kids about the dangers of street drugs. He signed the drug-free pledge and received his own Drug-Free Marshals badge.
Hindu scholar Eshwar Doobay of the Ontario Multifaith Council also spoke and was sworn in as a Drug-Free Marshal.
Performing were Reggae singer Casper; the Y.I.M. (Why I Am) Cheer Team, a group of youth from the First Nation Community committed to being substance-free; R&B/hip hop performers Taz and Rachel Eddy; the Joy Singers, an inner-city music group formed of youth who decided to take a stand against local crime and take back the community with words and song; and 50 dancers from the Tandem Dance Studio.
The winners of the Drug-Free Marshals essay contest were announced and hot chocolate, cookies and presents from Santa crowned the event for the kids.
The Drug-Free Marshals is a youth group founded by the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles and adopted by young boys and girls throughout the United States and Canada. It also gave rise to similar youth groups in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, South Africa, England and Europe.
With the publication of Truth About Drugs educational materials, the work of the Drug-Free Marshals took on a new dimension, as the Truth About Drugs booklets and videos make drug education so much more effective, they make it easier for children and teens to make their own choices to live drug-free.
The Church of Scientology has published a new brochure, Scientology: How We Help—The Truth About Drugs, Creating a Drug-Free World, to meet requests for more information about the drug education and prevention initiative it supports. To learn more or read a copy of the brochure, visit the Scientology website at www.scientology.org/antidrug.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being."
The Church of Scientology supports the Truth About Drugs, one of the world's largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns. It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.
