Statement from Jerry Kozak, President and CEO, National Milk Producers Federation:
"The nation's dairy farmers thank Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval for vetoing a state bill that would have permitted raw milk to be distributed statewide, and in so doing, siding with health experts who recognize the potential danger to consumers of raw milk.
"Thursday's announcement by Sandoval cited the 'significant public health risks' represented by consuming raw milk, resulting in his veto of Assembly Bill 209.
"Gambling with the health of one's family shouldn't be one of Nevada's hallmarks, and we appreciate Gov. Sandoval heeding that message.
"While 20 states prohibit the sale of raw milk to consumers, several states have loosened, or have considered loosening, restrictions on the sale of unpasteurized dairy products in recent years – despite the number of illnesses that have continued to be linked to the product.
"We urge other states considering similar legislation to look to the exemplary leadership demonstrated by Sandoval."
The National Milk Producers Federation, based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance the well-being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF's 30 cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of more than 32,000 dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Wall Street retreated to the sidelines on Tuesday after rising to five-year highs after Johnson & Johnson's 2013 outlook disappointed and as investors looked to existing-home sales data.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH3 fell 11 points, or 0.1%, to 13,565 and those for the Standard & Poor's 500 index US:SPH3 lost 0.6 point to 1,478.30.
Futures for the Nasdaq 100 index US:NDH3 edged up 4 points, or 0.2%, to 2,737.75.
Fawad Razaqzada, market strategist at GFT Markets, said futures markets had moved lower after the Bank of Japan said it would adopt a 2% inflation target and commence an open-ended asset-purchasing program beginning January 2014. Read: Bank of Japan adopts firm target of 2% inflation
"Everyone was expecting this, so it was a case of buying the rumor and selling the fact," said Razaqzada, noting that markets also got jittery on speculation that a member of the European Central Bank could be stepping down.
But futures erased losses after Germany's ZEW economic-expectations index, a gauge of investor sentiment, rose more sharply than expected in January. Read: German ZEW index jumps more than expected

Neville Fogarty
Theme: None
Looks like we're ending the week with a tough, fun Saturday romp from Neville Longbo… er—Fogarty. As I write about this puzzle I'm going to try to forget that Neville is responsible for the completely irritating song that's stuck in my head right now. You really don't wanna know. Okay, okay, if the suspense is killing you, go ahead and click on this link. I wouldn't recommend it though. You Have Been Warned!
There are some pretty nice stacks in this grid. I think my favorite is LADY GAGA / ALGEBRA I / PIERRE, S.D. (12D: Singer known for unconventional outfits / 13D: Basic math course / 14D: Second-least populous st. capital). Other stand-out entries to me include BANANARAMA (60A: Female pop trio since 1979 — was it really that long ago??) and RV HOOKUP (36D: KOA amenity). That last one was a gimme for me. When I took my epic road-trip across the country mumble-mumble-teen years ago I camped at KOAs along the way and was kind of surprised to learn that there's a whole RV culture out there. I had no idea! Some of the nicest people I've ever met too. They thought this (relatively) young woman traveling alone and sleeping in a tent was a little on the nutty side, but they looked out for me, which was really nice and comforting.
This next part I'm going to write is a little … sensitive. Please select the text here and you can see what I've written. Neville, you should just skip this and go on to the bullets. [TIR? AMOY?? Seriously?? WTF?? Those entries are completely ridiculous! Blech!]
- 1A: Revisiting the past? (TIME TRAVEL). Immediately brings to mind "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Back to the Future," both of which are awesome.
- 11A: __ shot (SLAP). Who knew how many different kinds of shots could come into a person's head at one time? Bank shot, drop shot, rim shot, etc., etc. Of course this particular shot is from one of the few sports I know nothing about (hockey). Fortunately (?), PuzzleHusband often quotes from the movie "SLAP shot," so the phrase was knocking around in my brain somewhere.
- 15A: "Been there" ("I CAN RELATE"). If you know anything about me, you know I love seeing colloquial phrases in the grid. This one is awesome, as is "AS I SAID …" (<39A: "To reiterate …").
- 34A: Tales you can also read backwards? (SAGAS). You can't actually read the tale itself backwards, but you can read the word SAGAS backwards. Cute!
- 42A: Jenny Fields's son, in a 1978 best-seller (T. S. GARP). Man it must be a hundred years since I read this book and the answer came to me immediately. Now if I could only remember what I came in here for ….
- 58A: Whitman of "Arrested Development" (MAE). I always get this show confused with "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in my head. They're both on my Need To Watch List.
- 65A: Only place on Earth where crocodiles and alligators co-exist (EVERGLADES). Look how this kinda boring answer is dressed up with a cool clue.
- 2D: Mariner from Japan (ICHIRO!).
- 11D: Duck in the Eurasian taiga (SMEW). Duck in the Eurasian what-ga?
- 35D: Shepherd-protecting org. (ASPCA). One of two misleading dog clues in this puzzle. See also CANINE (29A: Like some boxers).
- 38D: Pioneer in side-scrolling video games (NINTENDO). Who knew?
- 50D: One may come with wings (BREAST). Mmmm… chicken.
- 63D: Emulate Sir Mix-A-Lot (RAP).

Wells Fargo Is Hiring: What It's Really Like To Work There
Wells Fargo is the No. 1 home lender in the country. That has some downsides. Like having the kind of deep pockets that results in paying a $175 million settlement for allegedly peddling pricier mortgages to blacks and Latinos. But it also has some upsides, like hiring a lot. And being a pretty great place to work, according to most employees.
The financial services company has 280,000 "team members," according to its brand manager Aaron Kraljev, and is constantly on the hunt for new talent to fill positions as tellers, bankers, online customer service reps, and in the home mortgage department. Wells Fargo currently has 1,379 openings on CareerBuilder.
%VIRTUAL-hiringNow-topCity%"Wells Fargo is more willing to hire people who maybe don't have a financial background" compared to its peers, Kraljev says, "or a background people would consider banking. We're really looking more for an attitude than financial knowledge."
And the attitude they're looking for is an entrepreneurial one, he says. "We don't work in an environment that's heavily managed." And the self-starters may have a lofty climb ahead of them. A Wells Fargo personal banker in Denver wrote on Glassdoor.com that the "possibilities to get promoted are endless." Kraljev claims that a former company president started in the mailroom and after 40 years made it all the way to the top.
More:7 Part-Time Jobs That Pay Up To $40 An Hour
The salaries are roughly in line with the competition. The average teller makes $10.83 an hour, according to Glassdoor.com, slightly less than at Bank of America ($11.25 an hour) or JPMorgan Chase ($11.12 an hour), while a personal banker earns $35,198 a year, a smidge higher than at BofA or Chase ($34,920 and $34,363, respectively).
"Where we really shine is in terms of benefits," says Kraljev, and most employees on Glassdoor.com agree. Wells Fargo workers rave about the 401(k) match and paid time off. They can even pocket their daily wage if they're volunteering for a day. "Wells Fargo is very focused on bettering the communities we do business in," explains Kraljev. "We track every year how much time we spend in the community."
Some employees are irked however by what they see as the stick that comes along with this carrot. "They will fire you without hesitation no matter how great of an employee you are in all other areas if you don't meet minimum sales requirements," writes one teller in Austin, Texas, on Glassdoor.com.
"Very sales driven, even to the point of unethical behavior," chimes in a personal banker in Denver. Which appears to be ever so slightly confirmed by the massive settlement Wells Fargo reached this week for allegedly taking advantage of minority customers.
"They want you to produce, but not be immoral," disagrees a former personal banker in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Indeed.com. "It can get difficult and competitive, but if you are competitive, it can actually be fun."
More:4 Hidden Mistakes That Will Cost You The Job
Diversity is actually one of Wells Fargo's crowning glories. For the last three years, Human Rights Campaign named Wells Fargo one of its Best Places to Work for LGBT Equality. And Wells Fargo is currently setting its sights on recruiting the young. This summer, Wells Fargo committed to hiring 1,000 young people as part of the White House's Summer Jobs+ initiative.
"For a recent college graduate, or someone going into college, the job market is frightening," says Kraljev. "We want to help jobseekers understand that Wells Fargo isn't just a place for seasoned professionals and executives, but for people just starting their careers."
Wells Fargo offers tuition reimbursement, and is willing to work around students' schedules. "If they get in while they're young, we can help them flourish," explains Kraljev.
Interested applicants can check out and apply to advertised Wells Fargo job openings on CareerBuilder (an AOL Jobs partner) or wellsfargo.com/careers. (Wells Fargo, working to beef up its social media, also says that it has openings posted on its social media accounts). The hiring process can be quick and painless, as evidenced by one Wells Fargo employee who claimed on Glassdoor.com that she applied, had a group interview, a one-on-one interview and was hired -- all in the space of one week.
Kraljev advises applicants to read the lengthy job description closely, find the bits that match their resume, and "frame your experience in such a way that helps bring those things to light." If you're going in for a sales position, after all, you have to know how to sell yourself.

POLK COUNTY, Fla., June 11 (UPI) -- The state that has produced infamous criminal suspects including Edward Cocaine and Brittany Boozel can now add another one to the Mount Rushmore of Florida names: Crystal Metheney.
According to records from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Metheney was arrested on Cinco de Mayo for violating a statute that prohibits the firing of missiles.
Specifically, Metheney is accused of firing an "offensive missile" into a vehicle. It appears that when the 36-year-old allegedly fired the missile, the vehicle was occupied.
The suspect was released the following day after posting $5,000 bond.
Although this incident was not drug-related, records indicate that Metheney was arrested in 2012 on a marijuana possession charge.
If Ms. Metheney is lucky, her case will go the same way as Mr. Cocaine's...

David Stein backs up his beliefs with actions. Although he
is one of Jacksonville's most prominent philanthropists, he doesn't seek the
spotlight. He doesn't boast about his contributions to the community but rather
quietly hopes his donations serve and motivate others. His latest gift to the
University of North Florida is an example of how he strives to help others —
in this case by establishing fellowships for his beloved "Steiners."
Steiners, a name selected by his students and not by Stein,
are UNF students who are recipients of undergraduate scholarships from an
endowment he established in 1999 with a $1 million gift.
Since then, 65 students have received this undergraduate
assistance. However, a number of
his Steiners have expressed a desire to go on to graduate school at UNF. To
help these students, Stein decided to create a bequest for an additional $1
million for fellowships, with preference given to Steiners — and to fund the
fellowships until the bequest becomes effective.
"I did this because it will help these students go to
graduate school and indirectly will benefit the metro area when they give back
to the community. I've spent my entire life in the same zip code. I love this
community," he said.
Stein's involvement in UNF began when then-President Adam
Herbert asked him to consider establishing a permanent undergraduate
scholarship program. He did so but decided he would be a hands-on donor.
He loves interacting with his scholarship students in a
variety of ways. He annually sponsors a professionally managed retreat at the
Stein Ranch for his scholars and encourages them to volunteer in community
projects such as HabiJax, Habitat for Humanity or the Sulzbacher Center, a
Jacksonville homeless shelter.
He also takes his scholars on trips to the Mayor's Office,
the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office or JaxPort. "I want them to learn how the
city works and how they might make a contribution someday to its future," he said.
Joshua Woods is one Steiner who is learning to make a
contribution to the community. Stein served as a grandfather figure for Woods,
who lost his own grandfather as a result of Hurricane Katerina in 2005. "Papa
Stein and Mama Linda," as Woods refers to Stein and his wife Linda, became scholarship
benefactors who understood his commitment to be a "community changer."
He completed three internships as a Steiner, the most
memorable being one with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008. "The season I spent with the Jaguars
was a confidence booster and revealed to me that I was capable of accomplishing
anything I set my mind to," Woods said.
Stein has agreed to fund Woods' master's degree in sport
administration at UNF. "I cannot
thank my Papa and Mama Stein enough for their love and support. I commit to
honoring them ever step along the way of my pathway toward success," Woods
Len Roberson, dean of the Graduate School, hopes to recruit
more graduate students by offering a greater number of graduate fellowships.
"Without this, we may
not be able to recruit the number nor the quality of graduate students we want
and need," Roberson said. "The Stein Graduate Fellowships will go a long away
in allowing UNF to recruit talented graduate students and ensure they are able
to complete their programs of study."
Stein hopes other donors will get similarly involved with
their scholars, as it not only helps scholars but also is personally rewarding.
Stein is also a major donor to the Disability Resource
Center on campus, which is part of his long-term commitment to this segment of
the population. Earlier, he spearheaded a capital campaign to provide a
permanent home for the Greenwood School, a $6 million facility opened in 2002
to serve the educational needs of 200 children with learning disabilities. Though
the Greenwood School is not affiliated with UNF, it does highlight the
importance Stein places on education at all levels.
Stein and his wife are also major donors to the United Way's
Community Fund, Jacksonville's Jewish Community Alliance, a local hospice and
numerous other organizations.
Few people would have predicted Stein's philanthropic
activities when he was a young man. His first job was flipping burgers at his
father's Burger King restaurant on Beach Boulevard long before it became a
national chain. It wasn't long before he took over management of the
restaurants in Jacksonville and engineered a business turnaround that
eventually launched the fast-food hamburger chain to become the second-largest in the world.
But the business success was only a means to an end for
Stein. The success allowed him to focus on his philanthropic interests and
encourage others to follow. This philosophy and outlook is at the very the
heart of the concept behind the Steiner scholars – Stein's desire to make
tomorrow's Jacksonville better than today's and to encourage others to follow
that path of giving.

Photos and story by the Cali project team in Colombia
Juan Pablo is an 8-year-old sponsored boy from the Cali project in Colombia. He attends a public school near his house.
Juan and his family live in a difficult financial situation in which they lack of many things, and one of them is toys. He is a very creative child who, with the help of his creative and handy mother, builds some improvised toys with recycled materials. Juan spends lots of time making toys and playing with them.
For his father, who is unemployed at the moment, Juanís creativity has been a blessing, because when he wants toys and his father canít afford them, they both find creative ways to make them.
We found Juan making a new cardboard toy truck, which he calls his ìHappy Truck.î This is the process he uses to make this Happy Truck.
He finds cardboard of different sizes, colors and textures, usually these are used cardboard boxes he finds at the local dairy stores.
Here we present, step-by-step, the process to build a ìHappy Truck.î
He uses a disposable plastic cup to draw the tires of the truck which will be painted black later in the process.
He cuts other pieces that will be used as the body of the truck. Once he finishes that, he paints the pieces red.
The tires he drew and cut earlier are now being painted ñ black, of course!
Another little box is needed to build the cabin of the truck, then all the pieces are glued together.
Windows are very important in his truck. Square pieces of white paper are used as windows.
Truck is ready and the fun begins.
The coloring material, glue and scissors are part of the school supplies that CFCA offers them every year, at the same time. Juanís neighbors also give him material for his toys. This truck will last for a couple of weeks, so Juan already has more boxes to make another one of his Happy Creations.

"Where's Pa Going with that Axe?"
The opening line of E. B. White's Charlotte's Web — "Where's Pa going with that axe?" — has now been read for over sixty years by adults to eager young listeners. Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time and Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day have been picked up with enthusiasm for over fifty years. For seventy-five years parents have shared The Hobbit. This year Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are turns fifty. These books and others like them (Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Virginia Lee Burton's Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, and L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables) bring generations together – allowing a parent or grandparent to return to a book that he or she read as a child.
What makes a children's book a classic? This question on the surface has a very simple answer. Any book that has moved to the next generation, 16-20 years from publication date, if still read and in print, is considered a classic. Consequently, no instant classics exist, as many ads like to claim. Some of our bestselling books of the last 15 years, such as the Harry Potter series, have not been around long enough to be called classics. But although length of time in print defines a classic, certainly the qualities of the book itself are more important in making it possible for a book to become one.
Generally speaking, our classics include fascinating stories and characters. These books have a plot line that keeps children turning the pages to find out what happens. They contain characters that children want to get to know better – often ones that children consider their friends. Because adults buy books for children, our classics must please adults but also appeal to children. Like Charlotte's Web, our classics are often distinguished by beautiful writing and expressive art. Rather than being mere surface stories, classics tend to have a more serious, but subtle, underlying theme or message that can be comprehended by children. When I recently asked an 11-year-old Texan girl why she loved The Secret Garden, her favorite book, she said it "showed her that even if you are very sick, you can be healed by people and nature." Most adult critics have not been so eloquent in summing up the idea behind this book.
But how do parents, caregivers, teachers, and grandparents find the classics that still work with children and the new books good enough to become classics? About three years ago I set out to compile a list of around 500 children's books, new and old titles, that had the ability to change's children's lives and that both adults and children love. The result, The Children's Book a Day Almanac, can be found on-line at http://childrensbookalmanac.com. Every day in cyberspace I post an essay about one of these books, tied to a day of the year. In a sidebar, I also list other titles that can be used for events that happened on that day. The site provides an easy way for people to gain information about the best books to share with children, a day at a time. Now a paperback edition of The Children's Book-a-Day Almanac is also available, for those who like to search for information on the printed page. The Almanac leads adults to books that they will enjoy – and ones that children have enthusiastically endorsed.
Another great resource for titles, ReadKiddoRead.com contains reviews of new books, many with the qualities that may well make them classics. There are also themed booklists available on the site to help adults find books for kids that focus on particular subjects, holidays, age levels. All of the books at ReadKiddoRead are selected because they are proven kid-pleasers, books that will ignite a passion for reading.
Reading research reveals that sharing a book with a child, 10-20 minutes a day, is the most important thing that can be done to guarantee a child's later success. In adulthood people mention not only the books that changed their lives but the people who shared them. If, during this Valentine season, you want to do something of lasting significance, give the children you love books and read those books to them. It is also a way for you to become part of their most cherished memories. Happy reading – whatever your favorite classic happens to be.
Begin with some of these classics:
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery (Ages 9 and up)
CHARLOTTE'S WEB by E. B. White; illustrated by Garth Williams (Read aloud: ages 5 up; Read alone: ages 8 up)
THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkein (Ages 11 up)
MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL by Virgnia Lee Burton (Ages 4-8)
THE SNOWY DAY by Ezra Jack Keats (Ages 3-6)
THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR by Eric Carle (Ages 3-6)
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak (Ages 4-8)
A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeline L'Engle (Ages 9 up)
Anita Silvey writes and speaks about children's books across the country. She is the creator of The Children's Book-a-Day Almanac and author of Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book.

Davis-Reid Alumni Gym
Davis-Reid Alumni Gym
Built in 1926, Davis-Reid Alumni Gym is used chiefly for Physical Education classes, and intercollegiate basketball and volleyball. It was dedicated in 1926 to replace the gymnasium that had been used since 1893. Inside the cornerstone lies a copper box containing the history of Georgetown College. The columns of the gym are patterned after the style of Giddings and the building is made of cut brick, thus reflecting Colonial Revival architecture. At one time, Alumni gymnasium housed a swimming pool and the trophy room. When the chapel burned in 1930, the gym temporarily held the chapel services and various classes. Parts of the gymnasium also provided housing for students. In 1986, the gym underwent massive renovation that led to the removal of the balcony and increased capacity to 1,800 people. The facility was renamed in January 2010 to honor longtime basketball coaches Bob Davis and the late Jim Reid.

Well, it's that time of the year again. For some people fall is a depressing time since they see it as everything dying and the growing season ending. I have always saw it as another chance to see natures inner beauty. It always reminds me of a grandmother meticulously stitching a patchwork quilt together the way all the colors are all different yet when viewed from afar they all make up a huge beautiful sea of color outlining every curve and peak of the mountains.
I always wonder what our ancestors must have thought the first time they stood atop a tall mountain and looked out to see mile after mile of bright fall colors. I know it still takes my breath away. From the yellow tones of the Poplars to the blazing reds and oranges of the sugar Maples, the hills are alive with color this time of year. That first hint of wood smoke in the air, the crisp morning air and the rustle of the leaves as they hang on with all their might just to show off one more day. Fall is a beautiful time of the year, you just have to "change" your views like the season is changing its.

The depressed housing market is now attracting buyers who look at boarded-up homes, rising foreclosures, and falling values and see, not disaster, but a rich opportunity.
They have cash so they don't need to go to the bank. The homes they're eyeing are selling at 2004 prices or lower. And they are certain – make that almost certain – that they will profit from the nation's real estate problems.
While the buying doesn't herald the bottom in home prices, nor will it help most people facing foreclosure, real estate experts say it is plucking some "for sale" signs out of the nation's front yards. It's also providing some needed cash for real estate developers. And it's helping banks unload unproductive properties, which might start to free up some of their capital so they can make more loans.
Some signs of lot-buying bravado:
•In Cape Coral, Fla., a developer dropped prices by up to 50 percent on 116 new homes and townhouses and saw them snapped up by lines of eager buyers.
In the depressed California market, an investor is organizing a tour of homes to Anaheim and Orange Grove for those who have the nerve to buy real estate as an investment. His motto: buy and hold.
•Even in the most distressed sections of Cleveland, real estate operators are buying 50 to 100 properties at a time to try to resell them.
"This is a wonderful time to buy," says Steve Dexter, who is organizing the tours in Orange County and owns 27 houses himself.
The buying comes at a time when the number of homeowners facing foreclosure is soaring. On Wednesday, RealtyTrac, which monitors foreclosures, said the number of homes facing foreclosure rose 65 percent in April compared with a year ago. For roughly half of the 243,353 homeowners receiving a foreclosure-related filing, it was their first notice.
"We've never had more foreclosure filings than this past month; we're at historically high levels," says Rick Sharga of RealtyTrac in Irvine, Calif.
It could get worse. Through November, some $20 billion to $25 billion in adjustable rate mortgages will reset each month. As interest rates tick up, many buyers will be unable to carry their monthly payments. Economist Mark Zandi of Moody's Economy.com, estimates there will be 2.25 million foreclosures this year, up from 800,000 at the low point three years ago.
"This assumes we only suffer a modest recession and moreover get some kind of meaningful federal housing policy that helps to stem the number of foreclosures," he says.
In addition, the inventory of unsold homes is still at a high level. According to government estimates there are 2.25 million empty houses for sale compared with 1.25 million in a normal year.
But some housing analysts see some encouraging signs. "We are hearing there is greater foot traffic at open houses and realtors are showing more homes," says Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors in Washington.
One sign that there is some selective buying: Blogger Dimitris Ginis (countrywide-foreclosures.blogspot.com) has found the number of foreclosed houses on Countrywide's website has dropped from a high of 15,783 in January to 12,185 as of May 13. This has coincided with a drop in Countrywide's average asking price from $324,000 to $270,000 in the same period.
Mr. Yun says the improvement has been particularly noticeable in areas that have been hit the hardest, such as Sacramento, Calif.; Las Vegas; and Fort Myers, Fla.
But the improvement is coming because of major reductions in price.
In March, buyers stood in line outside a development at Cape Coral (near Fort Myers) after a local developer, O.J. Buigas, put 82 homes and 34 townhouses up for sale. He had purchased the homes from Miami-based Tousa Homes Florida LP, a bankrupt builder. The inducement: price reductions of 40 percent to 50 percent.
"It was like being at the Outback Steakhouse on a Saturday night," recalls Denny Grimes, the realtor handling the sales. "People who bought were actually giddy."
In all of Lee County, Fla., Mr. Grimes says pending home sales in the first quarter were up 29 percent over the first quarter of 2007. But he adds that inventories are still high and prices remain under pressure. "We're not at the bottom anytime soon," he says.
Affordability continues to be a major problem, says Jack McCabe, a real estate expert in Deerfield Beach, Fla. "Turning points have come when median household prices are three to four times median household incomes," he says. "In Florida, they are still six to seven times median household incomes."
Mr. McCabe says investors who hope to rent properties still are not getting a large enough return yet. And "we have to get back to a normal appreciation of 6 to 7 percent per year," he says, instead of, say, the 181 percent that Miami-Dade area saw during the four-year boom.
However, the prospect of buying distressed property is still very tempting for some. McCabe recently spoke at a conference in Miami on distressed property. The organizers expected 250 people who paid $1,500 each. "Instead, they had over 700 people, 95 percent of them buyers looking for acquisitions or opportunities to network," he says.
Mr. Dexter says price reductions in Orange County, Calif., have now become very tempting. "There are listings in the low- to mid-$300,000 range for houses that had been $650,000, and the discounts are getting better and better," he says. But "Are we at the bottom? Not yet, there's still a ways to go."
Not all is coming up roses for audacious investors.
Destiny Ventures of Tulsa, Okla., purchased 115 homes in Cleveland, many of them in dilapidated condition. Steven Nodine, president of Destiny, says he usually resells them to investors, such as Econohomes of Austin, Texas, within a few weeks.
"Econohomes and others like them are reselling them for $500 down, $300 a month," says Cleveland City Councilman Tony Brancatelli.
Mr. Nodine says he buys as many as 2,000 homes a year and then resells them to investors. "I make a marginal profit," he says.
However, in the case of Cleveland, he says he will probably lose "a ton of money" since he is faced with some large fines for housing-code violations. "I am not a slumlord, or owner financier," he says. "They are running the investors out of town."
Jeff Ball, the CEO of Econohomes, sees his company filling a void: providing homes and financing for "deep subprime" borrowers. He says his average buyer has a verifiable income of $35,000 a year and average credit score of 570 (out of 850).
Mr. Ball says his company charges them a fixed interest rate of 10 to 12 percent for a 14-year loan. That's high, he concedes, but points out that the nonprofits that specialize in helping low-income people with housing are addressing only a sliver of the population in need.
"We spend a lot of time to make sure they can afford the home and the payment doesn't change," he explains. "We are trying to do this the right way, but we know there are a lot of unethical people out there."
However, Mr. Brancatelli worries that by allowing outside investors to resell marginal homes, the city will get saddled with yet another round of unsophisticated residents losing money.
"This is the next tsunami of distress – these waves of investors coming in," he says.

An auxiliary police officer in Wales was arrested early yesterday on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, carrying a gun while intoxicated and using a badge without authority.
Officer Matthew J. McGoldrick, 23, of Paxton was released on personal recognizance at his arraignment in Western Worcester District Court on seven charges yesterday.
He was arrested just after 12:30 a.m. yesterday when state Trooper Sergio D. Figueiredo noticed a Mustang headed north on Route 122 in Paxton and crossing the center line, police said.
The driver, Officer McGoldrick, was unable to find the registration and, after he was asked about the yellow police vest in his back seat, showed a Wales police badge and a Leicester firefighter's badge, police said.
Wales Police Chief Dawn Charette confirmed that Officer McGoldrick is an auxiliary officer there. He began working in Wales about six weeks ago and has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of an investigation, the chief said. Leicester Fire Chief Robert F. Wilson said last night that Officer McGoldrick is not a member of his fire department.
Trooper Figueiredo wrote in his report that Officer McGoldrick had bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol and marijuana and was carrying his "duty weapon" in a holster at his hip. He also had a smoking pipe and marijuana, which he said belonged to a friend, in his pocket, the trooper wrote.
Officer McGoldrick allegedly had difficulty with some of the field sobriety tests but registered no reading on a portable breath test that detects alcohol.
During the tests, Officer McGoldrick "continued to mention the names of several commissioned and non-commissioned Massachusetts state troopers which he knew and that I should call and speak with concerning the current situation," the report said.
State police could find no record of his .40-caliber Glock pistol being registered and seized it, along with the marijuana and pipe, according to the report.
They also requested that Officer McGoldrick's driver's license be suspended, saying he posed an immediate threat to other motorists.
In court, Assistant District Attorney Michael J. Luzzo asked that Officer McGoldrick be required to remain drug-free as he awaits the outcome of his case.
Judge Paul McGill said he would leave it up to the Paxton police chief to decide whether Officer McGoldrick's firearms identification card should be revoked.
Officer McGoldrick was represented by lawyer Roger Banks at his arraignment on the charges: driving under the influence of drugs, a marked lanes violation, a lights violation, negligent driving, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, use of a badge without authority and failing to report a firearm transfer.
He was released on personal recognizance and is due back in Western Worcester District Court in East Brookfield on Jan. 17.


text: 05 Feb 2014 12:30 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has announced plans to increase its services to the Pakistani cities of Islamabad and Peshawar as part of its commitment to provide travellers with more convenient travel timings and choices. Starting from 30 March 2014, Etihad Airways will increase its flights to Pakistan's capital city, Islamabad, from 11 flights a week to a double daily schedule. Services to Peshawar, often referred to as the "City on the Frontier" due to its strategic location at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia, increased from two to five per week on 1 February 2014. With the addition of the new services, Etihad Airways will now offer 37 weekly flights from four destinations in Pakistan which, along with Islamabad and Peshawar, include Karachi and Lahore. The additional services on each route will be operated by A320 aircraft, fitted with 16 Pearl Business Class and 120 Economy Class seats, and will increase capacity by over 150 per cent. The new services to Peshawar will improve the number of connections over the airline's Abu Dhabi hub to more than 167 connections a week (representing an increase of 78 per cent) to a number of key destinations in the GCC, North America and Europe. Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways' Chief Strategy and Planning Officer, said: "Pakistan is a growing market for Etihad Airways, as passenger demand, connectivity choice, and frequency enhancements continue to drive business and leisure traffic onto our expanding global network. "Our new services to these two strategically important Pakistani cities will drive continued strong growth in traffic flows between Islamabad, Peshawar, Abu Dhabi and beyond to many key destinations across our global network and also further strengthen the commercial and cultural ties between Pakistan and the UAE." Along with the additional services, Etihad Airways also unveiled new timings for its Islamabad flights. The new timings will greatly improve connections to destinations in the Arabian Gulf.
