== Gio Gonzalez bought a fleet of luxury cars for his family ==

<html>It s good to be related to Gio Gonzalez.

Kurt Suzuki took the mic for MASN before a recent game and asked Gonzalez a few questions,[http://wiki.hackerspace.com.ua/index.php?title=%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Paulparker#David_Masons_Popes_Bookbinder_fe David Masons Popes Bookbinder fe], one of them about the Nats pitcher s big purchases when he signed his contract. Here s what he had to say.

 I m already broke, Gonzalez joked. I got a couple toys for my brother, a couple of toys for my mom. 

That wasn t a good enough answer for Suzuki,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 NFL T shirts for men], so he asked Gonzalez to elaborate (we should get Suzuki to be a special Bog correspondent).

 Well, first I bought myself a nice house. I moved out of Hialeah, live in Broward now. I bought me, also, a nice little car. A Lamborghini. And then I bought my brother one,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ wholesale nfl t-shirts], a Lamborghini. I bought my mom a Rolls Royce. I bought my brother a boat, and I bought my dad a Bentley. 

Only Gio would refer to a Lambo as a nice little car. You can see the full interview .</html>

== Mortgage rates drop after steep rise; remain above 4 percent ==

<html>After last week rising sharply on the news that the Fed would begin pulling back stimulus measures,[http://projectwiki.herlig.net/index.php?title=Bruker:Paulparker#The_darkly_funny_joke_that_sums_up_Egypt.E2.80.99s_crisis The darkly funny joke that sums up Egypt’s crisis], average mortgage rates this week fell but remained above the 4 percent level, according to new data released Wednesday by Freddie Mac.

The 30-year fixed-rate average this week decreased to 4.29 percent from 4.46 percent. This time last year, the 30-year averaged 3.62 percent.

The 15-year average, which in recent weeks rose above the 3 percent level, fell to 3.39 percent from 3.50 percent. A year ago, the rate averaged 2.89 percent.

“Fixed mortgage rates fell over the holiday week as market concerns over the timing of the Federal Reserve’s pullback in bond purchases eased somewhat,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/cheap-nike-new-york-jets-6-mark-sanchez-nfl-tshirt-men-green-p-2427.html Mark Sanchez t shirts], ?Frank E. Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a statement.

 Rates are still low by historical standards and should continue to aid in housing affordability and the ongoing recovery of the housing market, Nothaft added. For instance,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 NFL T shirts for women], pending home sales rose 6.7 percent in May to the strongest pace in over six years. In addition, residential construction spending increased in four of the first five months this year.”</html>

== Worm farmer recycles furniture maker's sawdust into garden s ==

<html>Which makes Vander Werf something of a one-man inoculation clinic. What started as a plastic tub of worms in his laundry room has grown into 5,000 square feet of raised worm composting windrows,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ new nfl t shirts], or mounds, in his side yard. He feeds the worms with ingredients diverted from landfills, material he collects from hundreds of miles around Las Vegas, Bakersfield, the Ridgecrest Regional Wild Horse and Burro Reserve (a fairly new discovery).

 They generate about 10 tons [of manure] a day out there, he said with satisfaction. I picked up about 50,000 pounds in January 25 truckloads. 

One of his most interesting stops is three hours away, in Marina del Rey, where he collects bags of sawdust from Spencer's workshop. Vander Werf likes the shavings from the recycled wine oak that Spencer uses to make furniture, doors and cabinetry.

To the worms, the sawdust is as delicious as raked leaves. The worms eat sawdust mixed with everything else Vander Werf throws into his mix: kitchen scraps, 4,000 pounds of coffee grounds a month, 400,[http://wiki.fyletikesmaxes.gr/wiki/%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82:Paulparker#Canada-_On_track_to_Kamloops.2C_where_people_are_as_warm_as_th Canada- On track to Kamloops, where people are as warm as th],000 pounds of shredded paper every year.

He has dubbed the operation Windy Acres Worm Beds, but he doesn t sell the compost. He said he just wants to spread the word about soil health. His recycling of seemingly useless material has persuaded Spencer and his wife, Leigh,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/new-york-jets-c-1_48 New York Jets t shirts], to bring some sawdust home too, she said. We do our own worm composting at home now, inspired by him.

== Rupert Murdoch's News Corp reborn as publishing arm targets ==

<html>, the newly devolved publishing division in Rupert Murdoch's global empire starts, launches on the New York and Sydney stock exchanges on Monday with the aim of dominating the smartphone market for news, entertainment and information.

Robert Thomson, the chief executive of new News Corp,[http://wp1175495.server-he.de/wikifreising/index.php/Benutzer:Paulparker#George_Zimmerman_Prosecutors_Second_Week George Zimmerman Prosecutors Second Week], told investors in Sydney the company would retain "Murdochian magic" and would have "a permanent startup sensibility" with globalisation and digitisation its biggest opportunities for growth.

"One of our foremost ambitions outside Australia is to own the second screen," he said in an investor roadshow whether this was "a football match or a British election".

He said the media sector was "still at the early stage of a second great migration, from print to web from web to mobile" and it was working on all fronts to make sure its newspaper content was a vibrant and appealing on smart phones.

In August the Sun hopes to make major inroads with the "second screen" when it starts charging customers ￡2 a week for online access. The company recently clinched a deal for exclusive rights to show Premier league highlights on the internet and mobile phones and is hoping this will getting Sun readers through its turnstiles.

Thomson said it is harnessing expertise from the TV side of the business as well as the  to make sure the product is as distinctive as possible.

"We are working with Fox Sports and even the Wall Street Journal's quirky writers to develop a different kind of commentary for smartphones," he said.

He concerned that the newspaper business was lower yielding than the TV business and that the transformation into a digital growth business would "take longer than a couple of quarters".

"All investors should understand that context. We are also candidly and decidely optimstic and focused ... we are not here for the short term," he said.

Murdoch hopes to emerge with a new lease of corporate life in New York and Sydney when the $77bn global media company he has built over 60 years splits into two separate publicly listed companies with the newspaper business, tarnished by the phone-hacking scandal, finally separated from its big US TV and movie brands.

The demerger is the culmination of a two-year campaign to "detoxify" the News Corp brand that started in the summer of 2011 with the abrupt closure of the News of the World and finished with the announcement in the last week that News International's brand in London would be axed and the company rebranded .

Overall the publishing company will continue to be called News Corp and will be home to 130 newspaper titles around the world, the new education business Amplify, the HarperCollins publisher, the Australian TV business, the Australian online property company REA and a US inserts business.

The addition of the non-press business has given some added appeal to the publishing spin-off which was unkindly dubbed "crap co" because of the loss-making . Times Newspapers Limited, which includes the Times and the Sunday Times, made a loss of ￡28m in the year to July 2012 according to its most recent results. Although this included a substantial ￡12m restructuring cost, the daily paper still loses money while it is understood that the Sunday Times is returning to profit.

The closure of the News of the World also added financial costs to the other titles - sources say some a ￡40m deficit was initially shared among the titles as a result of the shutdown.

To further the appear of News Corp, the company is receiving a $2.6bn (￡1.7bn) dowry as part of the demerger. Some $500m is earmarked for share buybacks in the event of investors ditching stock, while the rest is expected to be invested in developing newspapers' digital operations and to fund possible acquisitions, with many suggesting that Murdoch may yet try to realise a dream by acquiring the Los Angeles Times.

Murdoch told investors at the same roadshow last month in Sydney ahead of the demerger that the split gave him an opportunity "most people don't get in their lifetimes – the chance to do it all over again".

One analyst and keen Murdoch-watcher who asked not to be named believes that the tycoon will have to come up with something transformational such as a tablet giveaway if he is to repeat the success he had with the relaunch of the Sun in the 1970s or the launch of Sky TV in the 1990s.

The tablets would be pre-loaded with newspaper apps and could be funded by the entire industry.

Thomson said the new company would continue to have "Murdochian magic, a permanent start-up sensibility" which would take risks and follow its instincts.

Thomson has also told investors the company will start charging third parties for use of its readership and subscriber data and will be looking to "window" content in the same way the movie industry does with higher charges for first sight of stories and video.

The notion of charging for data was rubbished by one analyst in New York who pointed out newspapers do not know who their readers are in the same way as Google or Facebook and don't have the information to sell. "They are using big data as a buzzword to get us all excited," he said. The same banker was sceptical about the notion of "windowing": "You pay for freshness,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/los-angeles-lakers-c-3_80 Los Angeles Lakers t shirts], but if he's talking about news, that's all over Twitter within seconds, it's a bit of a pipe dream."

== How To- Stripe Your Living Spaces ==

<html>Gray stripes are a neutral backdrop for pops of neon. By Kerrie Kelly Design Lab.

 

They aren’t just for adding some patriotic flare this Fourth of July. Stripes are both playful and classic and ― with the right accessories― can up a room’s elegance or provide a casual feel year-round.
 
Take for example, stripes painted across the walls of a converted garage space by  of . Swathes of beige in a darker and lighter tone are neutral without being too formal for the neon accessories throughout the room.
 
Besides adding interest to a space, stripes are often used to alter the perception of a room, explains designer Dan Benedict of .
 
“For example, if a room is too short, you can add vertical stripes to make it seem taller,” he said. “It’s not always for correcting problems, but enhancing a feature.”
 
Ready to get striped? Here are a few ways to incorporate the look into your home.
 
Wallpaper 
“Striped wallcoverings are easy to come by and perfect for sprucing up even a small space like a powder bath,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ wholesale nfl t-shirts],” said Kelly.

You can also use strips to make a fun bold statement in an entertainment space.

Painted 
While a potentially more exact process than a wall-covering, painted stripes will give you more control over the width and direction of the stripes. They’re also more affordable.
 
“Don’t be afraid to run the stripes vertically or horizontally,” said Kelly. “Horizontal stripes can add visual spaciousness to a smaller room.”

And, stripes aren’t just for playful spaces.
 
“Obviously a stripe is fun, but if you have a more sophisticated space, you could have two stripes that were similar in color,[http://chilepc.cl/mediawiki/index.php/Usuario:Paulparker#Death_Valley_temps_tie_record_in_extreme_heat_wave_.28.2Bvideo.29 Death Valley temps tie record in extreme heat wave (+video)], like tone on tone,” explained Benedict.
 
Worried that stripes will be too bold for a space? Benedict suggests painting stripes in the same hue but alternating sheens, such as matte and gloss.
 
“A matte paint versus a gloss adds texture and dimension to a room, but it’s not the first thing you notice when you walk into a room. It affects you on a subconscious level,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 Latest NFL T-shirts for sale],” he said.
 
On the ceiling 
Striped walls or floors can be bold, but for the biggest statement, consider striping the ceiling.

== Russia Moves to Squash Hooliganism at Sports Events 0 ==

<html>MOSCOW,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/nfl-tshirts-c-1 Latest NFL T-shirts for sale], July 2 (RIA Novosti) Russia s lower house of parliament on Tuesday gave its final approval for legislation to increase security at sports events and toughen punishments for rowdy fans.

Anyone convicted of hooliganism at a sports event would be punished with a maximum seven-year ban as well as a 15,000 ruble ($450) fine, according to the bill, which garnered the support of 302 lawmakers.

Russia is set to host the  and the ,[http://pobrevirtual.com.br/wikipobre/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Paulparker#Sergio_Canavero_Head_Body_Transplant Sergio Canavero Head Body Transplant], and state officials have called for increased measures to prevent disorder at the international events.

Over the last three years, more than 14,000 offenses have been committed at athletic events in Russia, said Deputy Sports Minister Natalia Parshikova. Firework-throwing and racist chants are commonplace at Russian football matches, where violence occasionally erupts.

To become law,[http://www.newnfltshirts.com/ wholesale nfl t-shirts], the media-dubbed fans bill needs to also be approved by the upper house of parliament and signed by the president.
