Fall Back – Daylight Savings Ends November 4th

Fall Back – Daylight Savings Ends November 4th

Don’t forget to move your clocks BACK one hour on Sunday, November 4, 2012 when Daylight Savings time ends at 2 am.

Benjamin Franklin is credited with the concept of Daylight Saving Time. The basic idea is to make the best use of daylight hours by shifting the clock forward in the Spring and backward in the Fall. Daylight Saving Time has been in use throughout much of the United States, Canada and Europe since World War I. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed an act into law whereby Daylight Saving Time begins on the last Sunday of April and ends on the last Sunday of October each year. However, any State can opt out of Daylight Saving Time by passing a State law.

C.A.R. releases its 2013 California Housing Market Forecast

C.A.R. releases its 2013 California Housing Market Forecast

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 2) – California’s housing market will continue to recover in 2013, as home sales are forecast to increase for the third consecutive year and the median price to rise for the second straight year, according to the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) “2013 California Housing Market Forecast,” released today.

The C.A.R. forecast sees sales gaining 1.3 percent next year to reach 530,000 units, up from the projected 2012 sales figure of 523,300 homes sold.  Sales in 2012 will be up 5.1 percent from the 497,900 existing, single-family homes sold in 2011.

“The market has improved moderately over the past year, and we expect that to continue into 2013,” said C.A.R. President LeFrancis Arnold.  “Sales would be even higher if inventory were less constrained in REO-dominated markets, particularly in the Central Valley and Inland Empire, where there is an extreme shortage of available homes.  Sales will be stronger in higher-priced areas, where there are more equity properties and a somewhat greater availability of homes for sale.”

“Housing affordability has never been stronger – with record-low interest rates and favorable home prices, combining to create a once-in-a-generation opportunity to buy a home in California,” said Arnold.

C.A.R.’s forecast projected growth in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product of 2.3 percent in 2013, after a gain of 2 percent in 2012.  With job growth of 1.6 percent in California, the state’s unemployment rate should decrease to 9.9 percent in 2013 from 11.7 percent in 2011 and 10.7 percent in 2012.

The average for 30-year fixed mortgage interest rates will edge up to 4 percent after six consecutive years of declines, but will still remain historically low.

The statewide median home price is forecast to increase a moderate 5.7 percent to $335,000 in 2013.  Following a decrease in 2011, the California median home price will climb a projected 10.9 percent in 2012 to $317,000.
“The housing market momentum which began earlier this year will continue into 2013,” said C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young.  “Pent-up demand from first-time buyers will compete with investors and all-cash offers on lower-priced properties, while multiple offers and aggressive bidding will continue to be the norm in mid- to upper-price range homes.”

“The actions of underwater homeowners will play an important role in housing inventory next year, with rising home prices inducing some to stay put and others to list and move forward,” she said.

“The wildcards for 2013 include federal, monetary and housing policies, state and local government finances, housing supply, and the actions of underwater homeowners – not to mention the strength of the overall economic recovery,” Appleton-Young continued.

Got Drugs?

Got Drugs?

Got Drugs and don’t know how to dispose of them? I didn’t either until this year when I took one dose of a prescription I became allergic too.  I went to the pharmacy to get my new prescription I asked the Pharmacist if I could return my prescription since I had only taken one.  He told me they cannot do that and sometimes Law Enforcement has Take Back Days where you can properly dispose of your unwanted prescriptions.

After I left the pharmacy I asked a nurse friend of mine and she said flush them down the toilet, then I was telling a friend of mine who works for the state and tests well systems and water supply and said don’t flush down because they can get into the water supply.  This was getting so complicated!  Then today I heard on the radio that the DEA has scheduled National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day which will  take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012, from 10:00  a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the  previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused  prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.

The American people have again  responded overwhelmingly to the most recent DEA-led National Prescription Drug  Take-Back Day. On April 28th, citizens turned in a record-breaking 552,161  pounds (276 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper  disposal at the 5,659 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and  U.S. territories. When the results of the four Take-Back Days to date are  combined, the DEA and its state, local, and tribal law-enforcement and  community partners have removed over 1.5 million pounds (774 tons) of  medication from circulation.

“We are pleased at the  response of the American people once again, and we thank them for participating  and contributing to the battle against prescription drug abuse,” said DEA  Administrator Michele M. Leonhart, who added that 4,268 agencies participated  with DEA nationwide in Saturday’s event. “While a uniform system for  prescription drug disposal is being finalized, we will continue to sponsor  these important take-back opportunities as a service to our communities. Our  take-back events highlight the problems related to prescription drug abuse and  give our citizens an opportunity to contribute to the solution. These events  are only made possible through the dedicated work and commitment of our state,  federal, local, and tribal partners and DEA thanks each and every one of them  for their efforts on behalf of the American people.”
