Sales of previously owned homes in January stumbled considerably for the second consecutive month. The National Assn. of Realtors in Washington said Friday that sales fell 7.2%.

January sales were the lowest since June but 11.5% higher than in January 2009.

Previously owned homes make up the bulk of the nation’s buying activity. Economists said that last month’s sales drop from December was another sign the market is critically weak and unlikely to recover robustly this year as the potential for more foreclosures looms.

Friday’s report follows news this week that sales of newly built homes hit a record low in January and that mortgage applications plunged to their lowest level in nearly 13 years.

The poor-sales data on all these fronts indicated that Congress’ attempt to stimulate the market by extending and expanding a home-buying tax credit through April was having little to no effect on consumer sentiment, economists said.

The credit was extended in November as it neared its expiration and buyers were flooding the market, boosting sales.

“The tax credit wore off,” said economist Christopher Thornberg, a principal with Beacon Economics in Los Angeles. “Now that the tax credit has been extended, it is no longer functional.

“We will get a push close to the end of it, probably in March.”

He said sales could plunge after the tax credit expires April 30.

The Realtors group’s data are based on its proprietary multiple listing service. The group reports an annual sales pace every month that is adjusted to take into account seasonable variations.

Last month’s sales pace was 5.05 million units for the year, the Realtors group said, meaning that many units would be sold if January’s rate carried through for the rest of the year.

The dour housing news came as the government reported that the U.S. economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the final three months of 2009 than estimated.

Gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 5.9% in the fourth quarter, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. That was up 0.2% from the previous estimate reported by the department.

Private inventory investments, exports, personal consumption expenditures and nonresidential fixed investment were the biggest contributors to that growth, even as imports increased.

Most of that growth was related to business inventory restocking, a temporary factor that is expected to fade in the coming months.

In the Realtors group’s report, the number of existing homes for sale at the end of January fell 0.5% to 3.27 million. That represents a 7.8-month supply at the current sales pace, up from a 7.2-month supply in December. Raw inventory is at its lowest level since March 2006.

Washington policymakers have taken several measures to support the housing market, keeping interest rates low and insuring mortgages for many buyers through the Federal Housing Administration. Last year the Obama administration launched a $75-billion effort to reduce mortgage payments for troubled borrowers, though that program has struggled to make mortgage relief permanent.

Foreclosure properties and other distressed homes remain a big part of the market, accounting for 38% of sales last month and contributing to a drop in prices. The national median price was $164,700 in January, an 8% decline from $178,300 in December, but unchanged from a year earlier.

“For people trying to sell their homes, they are going to be competing with distressed home sales,” said Celia Chen, a housing economist with Moody’s Economy.com. “In order to really understand or predict when the housing market will recover we need to have a good handle on when foreclosures are going to hit the market, and I think there is a lot of uncertainty around that.”

Regionally, previously owned home sales fell 5.2% in the West, 7.4% in the South, 6.9% in the Midwest and 10.9% in the Northeast.

The 82-year-old pope was unhurt after his fall, said a Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini.

Earlier, in Bethlehem, thousands of pilgrims from around the world descended on the traditional birthplace of Jesus, for the most upbeat Christmas celebrations the Palestinian town has seen in years.

While the Holy Land’s top Roman Catholic clergyman reminded followers that peace remains elusive, while the threat of sectarian violence in the Islamic world and the lava spilling from a volcano in the Philippines clouded the celebrations for other Christian communities across the globe.

At the Vatican, witness video obtained by The Associated Press showed a woman dressed in a red hooded sweat shirt vaulting over the wooden barriers that cordoned off the basilica’s main aisle and rushing toward the pope before being swarmed by bodyguards. She grabbed the pope’s vestments as she was taken down, with Benedict seemingly falling on top of her.

The commotion happened as the pope’s procession was making its way toward the main altar and shocked gasps rang out through the public that packed the basilica. The procession came to a halt and security rushed to the trouble spot.

Benedettini said the woman who pushed the pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police. He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, who was taken to hospital for a check up.

“During the procession an unstable person jumped a barrier and knocked down the Holy Father,” Benedettini told The Associated Press by telephone. “(The pope) quickly got up and continued the procession.”

In Bethlehem, residents celebrated their town’s annual day in the spotlight along with pilgrims and tourists. Visitors milled around Manger Square, mingling with clergymen, camera crews and locals hawking food and trinkets.

Christmas in Bethlehem has its incongruous elements – the troops of Palestinian boy scouts who wear kilts and play bagpipes in one of the town’s holiday traditions, for example, or the inflatable Santa Clauses hanging from church pillars and storefronts looking out of place and overdressed in this Middle Eastern town with not a snowflake in sight.

Jeffrey Lynch, 36, a sanitation worker from New York City, was taking a tour through the Church of the Nativity, the fourth-century Crusader era structure built atop the grottos that mark the spot believed to be the birthplace of Jesus.

“It’s a miracle being here on Christmas Eve. It’s a lifetime opportunity. I wish everybody could be here,” he said.

But the Holy Land’s top Roman Catholic cleric, Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal, reminded listeners in a holiday address that peace remains out of reach. “The wish that we most want, we most hope for, is not coming. We want peace,” Twal said after he passed into Bethlehem in a traditional holiday procession from nearby Jerusalem.

Some Christians in other far-flung parts of the world also saw gloom edge out the holiday cheer.

Baghdad’s small remaining Christian minority was to celebrate midnight Mass in daylight for security reasons, and churches were under heavy guard. A bombing this week targeting a 1,200-year-old church in Mosul killed two passers-by, underscoring Iraqi Christians’ concerns.

A marble palace once occupied by Saddam Hussein housed an impromptu Christmas celebration for US soldiers and others far from home.

“I have mixed emotions,” said Lt. Col Timothy Bedsole, 52, an Army chaplain from Alabama who was marking his second Christmas in Iraq since the 2003 invasion. “It’s a very happy time for us as Christians and a very sad time to be away from our families.”

Few were celebrating at a tent camp 220 miles southwest of Islamabad, Pakistan, erected to house Christians left homeless by a rampage of looting and arson by Muslims in August.

The Christians say they have received cell phone text messages warning them to expect a “special Christmas present.” They’re terrified their tents will be torched or their church services bombed.

“Last year I celebrated Christmas full of joy,” said Irfan Masih, cradling his young son among the canvas shelters and open ditches of the camp. But now “the fear that we may again be attacked is in our hearts.”

Far to the east, in the shadow of the erupting Mayon volcano in the Philippines, thousands of families were spending Christmas Eve in shelters as the volcano belched out 20 gray ash columns Thursday, some of them a mile (1.5 kilometers) high.

Government workers and volunteers tried to keep some 47,000 displaced residents entertained with games, movies and concerts, a heavy burden during the Christmas season in this majority Roman Catholic country.

Noodles, fruit and corned beef were distributed at the shelters for Christmas Eve dinner. Children in one evacuation center gleefully lined up for ice cream.

Most of us feel the need to be able to be stylish at certain occasions, which is what affects our social stature in life. Wearing the right stuff is a step in the right direction and will affect the way people look at us. When it comes to sneakers, it’s always a plus to wear quality brands such as Men’s Dolce & Gabbana Signature Logo Sneaker. This brings us to the point of this review.

Stars and other religious emblems were ordered removed from Christmas trees in all government buildings in Sonoma County on Monday following a complaint by Irv Sutley, a disabled 65-year-old Marine veteran who said the symbols were “extremely offensive” and part of the “cult” of Christianity.

“I just don’t believe government has the right to intrude on anyone and force them into sectarian behavior,” Sutley told FoxNews.com. “I’ve opposed Buddhist statues, the star of David — anything of a religious nature.”

Sutley said he filed the complaint with acting County Administrator Chris Thomas on Dec. 18 after noticing an angel atop a six-foot tree in the lobby of the county recorder’s office. Sutley, a lifelong atheist and chairman of the county’s Peace and Freedom Party, said he visited the office last week for his re-election bid next June.

Sutley said the angel violated previous court rulings concerning holiday displays, including a 1989 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found that government-sponsored Christmas trees decorated with religious symbols constitute an illegal endorsement of Christian doctrine.

Sutley said he was pleased with a subsequent e-mail sent by Thomas to managers of all 26 county departments instructing them to remove religious symbols like angels and stars from holiday displays.

Jim Toomey, a public information officer for Sonoma County, confirmed the removal.

“To avoid any controversy and to satisfy this gentleman’s concerns, the ornaments were removed,” said Toomey, adding that he knew of no prior complaints concerning the holiday display.

Sutley, of Santa Rosa, said he’s pleased with Thomas’ directive, but said his work might not yet be done. The veteran previously led successful efforts to stop prayers at government meetings in nearby cities and forced Rohnert Park to redesign its city emblem due to religious symbols.

He now intends to ask county officials to remove a steel cross near Ernie Smith Park in Sonoma that serves as a memorial to an accident victim.

“It was put up privately without a permit,” Sutley said. “It shouldn’t be there.”
Most people though look for the designer logos which do speak volumes about the quality of the shoes. Well, they certainly won’t be disappointed with this one as I was completely satisfied with the white logo signature detail in them. What’s great is that it’s perfectly proportioned so that it doesn’t take anything from the aesthetic value of the sneakers.

In theory, it could be a commercial one too. International passenger rail travel was thrown open to competition in Europe from Dec. 13 under a new EU law requiring track owners to provide open access to alternative operators. Eurostar may not have much more than a year to lick itself in to shape before new rail operators are in a position to offer rival services.

Eurostar’s monopoly of the international passenger-only rail routes connecting London to Paris and Brussels is sure to be a tempting target. Eurostar carried 9.1 million passengers last year, 10% up on the year before despite September’s fire in the Channel Tunnel which disrupted services.

Eurostar, rather than airlines, is the preferred way to travel between London and Paris as the journey now takes just two hours and 15 minutes. It’s a phenomenon hitting airlines across Europe as proliferating high-speed links reduce rail journeys between major cities to less than three hours.

True, potential rivals are likely to face substantial obstacles. Applications to run a rival service need the time-consuming approval of the tracks owners in the U.K., France, Belgium and Eurotunnel. Making room for a new service at busy stations and on busy track in southeast England and northwest France could prove difficult.

Any competitor to France’s state-owned railroad company Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer, a major shareholder in Eurostar, would face political opposition, not least from its unionized workforce which has long opposed liberalization. It took two years for utility group Veolia to start a rival freight service to SNCF after that market was opened in 2003.

Still, these obstacles are unlikely to deter competitors from having a go. Deutsche Bahn is interested. Last year Air France said it was toying with the idea of entering the train business with Veolia, partly to connect U.K. passengers to flights from Paris by train. That project has gone cold, partly because of the recession.

Eurostar traffic fell 1% in the first nine months of the year compared with the same period in 2008. As the economy picks up, rivals may dust down their plans. Eurostar needs to put its house in order.

Groups of vigilantes clashed with several of the mourners, and both groups threw stones and other objects at each other, witnesses and opposition Web sites reported. The reports could not be independently verified. Authorities denied foreign correspondents permission to travel to Qom, which is about 90 miles south of Tehran.

About 100 members of the pro-government Basij militia attacked the house of the late ayatollah and tore up a banner displaying his portrait, his son Saeed Montazeri said in a telephone interview from Qom.

“They attacked, they lost all control,” Montazeri said, calling from the house. “They started to throw stones at people and tore down the mourning banner of my father.”

Montazeri said that after the attack he saw several wounded people. “The huge crowds in the funeral kept them from taking over,” he said.

Opposition Web sites said that hundreds of thousands of people attended the funeral, which took place Monday morning. Several leading ayatollahs paid their respects to Montazeri, who was one of the highest-ranking Shiite clerics in the world but for years lived under house arrest for criticizing political leaders. Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi visited Montazeri’s house, according to the opposition Web site Kaleme.

Montazeri’s body was carried in a shrouded glass coffin on top of a semi-trailer, which moved slowly through seas of weeping people toward the shrine of Hazrat-e Masoumeh, a female Shiite saint. There, the cleric was buried next to his son, who died in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. Young women wearing green headbands, the color of the opposition, could be seen holding portraits of the late ayatollah.

“Many hip young people from Tehran, who usually have no interest in Montazeri, were there, crying,” one witness said. “It was very moving, and many people shouted slogans against the government.”

People shouted political slogans such as “Montazeri is not dead, the government is dead” and “Dictator, dictator, we will follow Montazeri’s path.” Government supporters, who were present in smaller numbers, shouted, “Hypocrites leave Qom.”
Montazeri’s death in his sleep of multiple organ failure Sunday dealt a blow to Iranian human rights and democracy advocates, who considered him their spiritual guide.

The death of the ayatollah, who was once designated to lead the Islamic Republic, comes during an already tense Shiite mourning period, called Muharram, which millions will observe by taking to the streets in the coming nights to mourn a revered Shiite saint.

After Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, an Iranian-born Shiite cleric residing in Najaf, Iraq, Montazeri was considered the highest Shiite authority in the world.
