Police: Severn neighbor catches burglars in act
Anne Arundel County police arrest 2; 1 burglar remains at large
Anne Arundel County police said a neighbor was able to help capture two burglars after watching them in the act.
Police said a neighbor watched three men attempting to break into a home on the 1500 block of Redhaven Drive in Severn around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Once the burglars saw the neighbor, they fled the area on foot, police said.
The witness was able to provide good physical and clothing descriptions of trio to police who conducted an extensive search of the area using officers, district detectives, two K-9 units and a police helicopter.
Authorities said they arrested two people during the search. They were identified as 19-year-old Charles Jones, of Baltimore, and 18-year-old Kameron Keionte Brown, of Severn.
The two were charged with attempted burglary and related charges.
After further investigation, police said a third person, who is still at large, was identified and charges were applied for on that person.

Fit Mommy Friday - Challenge Week 8
Can you believe there are only 2 weeks left in our fitness challenge?! I seriously did a double-take when I glanced at the calendar just now. It's amazing how fast 10 short weeks can fly by!
I want to just take a moment right now and thank you all for your willing participation in my and Mrs. White's little scheme. ;-) I am grateful, humbled and honored that you decided to join us, and I'm truly inspired and amazed at how hard you've all worked so far. Even the little accomplishments that you may not think are so awesome or inspirational, are just that. You guys rock!!!!! {Woohoo!!!}
Okay, so onto this week's check in. I'm happy to report that I am feeling a bit better than I have been. {Thank you all for your prayers. They've been felt!} Now that I've started a new job, I'm getting an extra 30 minute walk in {and soon, a 15 minute bike ride} on my work days. Not too shabby. Aaaand {this is truly the best part} I now have free access to the employee gym that I can use every day of the week if I want! Isn't that neat?
I haven't used it yet, but I plan to introduce myself to its fine selection of ellipticals, treadmills and free weights very soon. :-) I'll keep you posted.
Since I wasn't able to shake my funky virus/bug/whatever it was until yesterday, I haven't worked out at all aside from walking. My food intake's been less than savory. Not because I've had junk food or anything, but because I really haven't been eating much. In fact, my stomach wasn't feeling very cooperative at all. Of course now, it seems to be making up for lost time so I'm curious to see what the scale has to say about it. {Ahem}
Well, that's it for me this week. I hope you've all had a wonderful, healthy week filled with lots of healthy food, satisfying workouts, increased energy and an overall "Am I fabulous or what?" attitude. :o)
Remember, we're down to our final two weeks and the winner receives one fantastically amazing prize package!
Oh yes, one last thing. I realize this is being posted on Thursday night instead of Friday morning. This isn't to freak you out and force you to post your check-ins at this very moment. I'm only doing this because I have to work tomorrow and won't have time to post my check in before I head out the door. :o) Okee dokee?
The floor is officially open for comments and link-ups! Have a glorious weekend! :)

Isn't it wonderful how your life will soon have exercise built in!
I'm glad you're almost over your bug. It's a nasty one, and I can't quite shake it myself either. I just downed 4 raw garlics to kill whatever it is, and I hope I won't alienate my family with garlic breath!
I had a LOUSY fitness week, so my post is about my fit hubby instead; if anyone deserves your prizes, it's him, except for the fact that he's a fit daddy, not a fit mommy. LOL

I checked in!! I did it!!
I'm so pathetic... I can't manage the simplest of tasks, I swear.
And I blew the Mountain Dew thing. Sort of. Gotta read my post to know more...
Proud of the rest of you for posting, for the steps you are making... Way. To. Go.

The Earned Income Tax Credit
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) helps low-to-moderate-income working taxpayers get more money back when they file their federal income tax return. A tax credit means that you will be eligible for a larger tax refund because it reduces the amount of money you may owe the federal government.
You must file a federal income tax return in order to claim the EITC—even if your income is so low that you normally would not file a tax return. You can get a check back even if you don't owe any taxes.
The income guidelines are more generous for people who have dependent children, but very low-income singles and married couples without children may also benefit. Foster parents and working grandparents who are raising their grandchildren also qualify. Even parents of babies born on the last day of the tax year can qualify if one or both parents were employed during the year and meet income guidelines.
EITC income guidelines are changed each year to keep pace with inflation, and vary widely depending on whether you file as a parent, how many children you claim and whether you're single or married. Eligibility guidelines and projected tax savings for each filing status are outlined in detail in other sections of this brochure.
For the 2019 tax year, EITC credits can be as high as $529 for childless taxpayers or up to $6,557 for taxpayers with three or more children. You can spend your credit any way you want, or put the money in a savings account.
To qualify for the EITC, you must have income from a job or self-employment, and your income must be below the required levels. (Child support does not need to be included when figuring your income.) Farm owners and small business owners also qualify.
To claim the EITC, you must have a Social Security number (SSN). You also must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien for the whole year, or a nonresident alien married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien and filing a joint return. (You are a resident alien if you have a "green card," which gives you the right to live and work in the U.S.)
Your eligibility for the EITC depends on your earned income and your "adjusted gross income" (AGI). If your income is about the same as in previous years, the easiest way to find your AGI is to look at last year's income tax return.
Even if your salary last year was too high, you may qualify for the EITC this year if you earned less, or if you only slightly exceeded the income threshold last year and did not earn significantly more this year.
Taxpayers with "married filing separately" status, or those who claim income from another country ("foreign income"), can't claim the EITC.
If you have income from investments (such as stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc.) of more than $3,600, you are not eligible for the EITC.
Legally married same-sex couples may file joint tax returns, and are eligible for the EITC.
Guidelines for parents
If you are claiming the EITC because you have children, attach Schedule EIC to your tax return to provide SSNs and other information about them.
For the 2019 tax year, earned income and AGI must both be less than:
- Single parent, one child: $41,094. Joint filers, one child: $46,884.
- Single parent, two children: $46,703. Joint filers, two children: $52,493.
- Single parent, three or more children: $50,162. Joint filers, three or more children: $55,952.
The maximum credits for parents are $3,526, $5,828 and $6,557, depending on the number of qualifying children.
Do your children qualify?
Children being claimed for the EITC must be under 19 at the end of the filing year, or, if they are full-time students, under 24. There is no age limit for permanently disabled dependents. The child must be younger than you (except if they are disabled) and must be your:
√ son, daughter, adopted child, stepchild, foster child or a grandchild, or your
√ brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, niece or nephew.
You and your qualifying children must have lived together in the U.S. for more than half of the tax year. (If you are a resident but not a citizen, you must have lived in the U.S. for the full year to claim the credit.) Qualified children must have lived in your household for more than half of the tax year. Children who were born or who died during the tax year and lived with you for the entire time, even if for less than six months, also qualify.
Low-income earners without children
Working singles and married couples aged 25 to 65 without children are eligible for an EITC of up to $529.
For the 2019 tax year, earned income and AGI must both be less than:
- Singles: $15,570.
- Married couples filing jointly: $21,370.
To be eligible, individuals cannot be a dependent or a qualifying child of another person.
Your income
Taxable earned income includes:
√ wages, salaries, tips and other taxable employee pay;
√ union strike benefits and jury duty pay;
√ long-term disability benefits received prior to minimum retirement age; and
√ commissions, royalties and net earnings from self-employment.
If you have nontaxable combat pay (code Q in box 12 of your Form W-2), it's your choice whether to include it in your income for EITC. Run the calculation both ways to see how it affects your EITC.
Your adjusted gross income can be the same as or less than your income, depending on which, if any, deductions you qualify for. To claim the EITC, both your income and your AGI must meet the EITC income guidelines.
Filing your taxes
In many communities there are free or very low-cost Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programs to help you file your taxes. See "For more information."
If you use a paid tax preparer, avoid high-cost "refund anticipation loans" or similar "rapid refund" types of products. The cost of such loans and products can sharply reduce your tax credit. In most cases, you will get your refund in a few weeks anyway. However, to help prevent revenue lost due to identity theft and refund fraud related to fabricated wages and withholdings, refunds on returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) cannot be issued before mid-February, regardless of whether you file on your own or through a tax preparer.
To claim the EITC—or EIC, as it is sometimes called—you need these forms:
- Schedule EIC. If you have qualifying children, attach this to your federal income tax return when you file. (Taxpayers without children do not need Schedule EIC.)
- Form 1040. To figure the EITC yourself, use the worksheet in the instructions for the form you are using. If you want help, see IRS Publication 4935 at www.irs.gov.
If you didn't claim the credit when you filed your tax return for any of the past three years but you think you qualified for it (income limits are slightly lower in each previous year), let the IRS know so that you can get that money back.
EITC and welfare
The EITC is not considered income when figuring your eligibility for federal assistance programs such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps (SNAP) and low-income housing. But in some states, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits might be smaller because you take the EITC credit. Check with your state benefits office.
Generally, you can put the money from your EITC into your savings account. But assistance recipients should know that EITC money that is not spent might be counted as an asset (or resource), which could cause them to lose benefits.
State EITC
Nearly 30 states and Washington, DC, also provide an Earned Income Tax Credit to state taxpayers who qualify. See "For more information" for a resource to help you determine if your state is one of them.
Take a number
In order to qualify for the EITC, you need Social Security numbers (SSNs) for yourself and all your children. If your child does not have an SSN, call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 and ask for Form SS-5. It takes at least two weeks to get an SSN after you have filled out and returned the form.
This is a good thing to do since you also need an SSN to claim your child as a dependent on your taxes, and your child will need an SSN for most daycare programs and schools.

Gear up for 'new' Vidya Balan in 'Kahaani 2'
Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh says audiences will get to see a 'new' Vidya Balan in 'Kahaani 2' as the actress will perform some action scenes in the thriller
"As per the demand of the role, there will be a lot of action in the sequel. So hopefully, audiences will get to see a new Vidya in 'Kahaani 2'," Ghosh told IANS.
"Not too much, but as per the script, Vidya will have few action scenes in the film. So as the script demands, I had asked her to be in shape. There will be some physical activities that Vidya will have to do in the film," he added.
"Kahaani", shot in Kolkata, came in he beginning of 2012 and was a super hit. The film revolved around Vidya's character, who was in search of her missing husband.
Now Ghosh is working on the script of the second instalment, which will repeat characters from the original.
"The script is not yet ready. We are in the process of developing the script. Once the script is ready, the film will go on the floors next year," he said.
"Few portions will be shot in Kolkata and many of the characters will be repeated," he added.

Equity futures are higher this morning, especially the NDX following a truly good report from Amazon who is increasing market share, and despite their third quarterly sales drop, Microsoft "beat" and shares jumped across the spectrum:
The dollar is actually up overnight… why? This would be why:
BOE More Likely to Expand Bond Purchases on GDP Slump
Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Britain's failure to escape the worst recession since World War II may force the Bank of England to increase its bond-purchase plan next month, economists said.
Seven months after Governor Mervyn King's central bank started a 175 billion-pound ($287 billion) program to rescue the economy, the Office for National Statistics said today gross domestic product unexpectedly shrank 0.4 percent in the third quarter. None of the 33 economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted a contraction.
"Having pumped in so much money and still seeing a decline in GDP is damaging from a perspective of confidence and expectations for recovery," said Stephen King, chief global economist at HSBC Holdings Plc, in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. "They'll be thinking very hard about whether to extend quantitative easing. They need to do something to show they care about the economy."
That's the problem with stimulus and printing in a nutshell. It gets bigger and bigger until doing it more hurts the economy. The world has reached that point. The sane thing to do is to stop the printing and reign in government by shrinking it dramatically. The odds of that are low, so look for QE to accelerate and for the world's economic problems to accelerate right along with.
Although the dollar is up, bonds are down. Below is a daily chart of the long bond futures, /ZB. It's movements are similar to TLT, reflecting activity on the long end of the interest rate curve. On this chart, and in bonds in general, lower prices equal higher interest rates. Note the decline from the peak at the end of '08. That was the collapse of the parabolic curve, and prices returned to the base of the last parabolic rise. They have been consolidating in a rising wedge pattern, but with the current action prices are falling below the lower trendline. This could usher in a large move in bonds towards higher rates. Fools will believe this to be a sign of strength in the economy, but those who recognize the extreme levels of debt and know math will know that higher rates will drag the economy further into trouble. TLT has yet to break lower, but I'll be watching and will let you know.
Oil is flat while gold is zooming on the news out of Britain, reaching $1,069 an ounce in the premarket.
No economic data this morning, but existing home sales come out at 10 Eastern.
As I watch earnings season unfold, I am astounded at the disconnect I see from the media and the games being played with company's reports. A never ending parade of estimate "beats" and yet all I see are HISTORIC collapses in revenue. Yes, I do see a lot of ONE TIME cost cutting measures and that is great, but it is not repeatable, and the consumer is NOT recovering. I read my former Airline's report yesterday and see yet more and more HUGE "one time" write downs. Each and every quarter these huge write downs appear yet they do not affect "operating earnings," LOL! This is like my family never planning on having any non-recurring expenses, you know, like having to call a plumber or fix a broken car – nope, never happens and boy do I wish that I could report that those "one time" expenses don't affect the bottom line – they do. And yet as the size and number of these "one time" expenses grow, a pure accounting gimmick, more and more analysts are buying into the "operating" P/E numbers that are now so disconnected from reality as to be a complete and total joke.
And as Wall Street complains and whines that they "won't be able to keep their best people with pay cuts forced upon them," WHAAAA, they turn around and RAPE the consumer, the very same ones, who through no choice of their own, were forced to bail out these bankrupt bastards. Denninger posted a notice one of his readers received from Citi Bank raising their interest rate to 30%!! The Mafioso would blush at 30%! And yet, our government is bailing out firms who do this instead of rewriting USURY laws that absolutely should prevent that type of abuse. Your government is not just asleep at the switch, they are complicit in a crime against humanity, right here in our own country:
Denninger in his article, Recovery? How, Given THIS? does the math and shows the impact on consumer spending that actions like this have.
Again, I restate my call to boycott the large banks – all of them. This country can certainly survive, and in fact THRIVE, without these big banks, they are not too big to fail, they are too big to allow them to control our money system and to control our entire political structure.
The media, on occasion, lets out little hints at the crimes being perpetrated, they are failing to do the job, again conflicts of interest are everywhere, they have permeated the fabric of our culture. What follows is a link to a story from CNN showing how little pieces of reality sneak out on occasion:
5 evil things credit card companies can (still) do
Credit card companies are socking it to consumers left and right.
They're hiking interest rates to as much as 36% and doubling minimum monthly payments, frustrating customers who are already cash-strapped and credit-crunched.
In an effort to curb these abusive practices, President Obama signed into law a credit card reform act in May that's rolling out in three parts over 12 months.
At the same time, credit card companies have been hard at work coming up with new ways to boost profits while sidestepping the reforms.
"Card issuers are making sure they can make up the lost money in new ways," said Bill Hardekopf of Lowcards.com, a research company funded by a commercial debt collector.
The first part of the law, which took effect in August, requires banks to give customers more notice ahead of major changes to their accounts, like rate hikes. Starting in February, limits will be imposed on when issuers can raise rates on existing card balances, and on new cards. In August 2010 some credit card penalty fees will be will reined in.
But no legislation can fully shield consumers from the credit card industry's ongoing efforts to boost the bottom line.
The worst part? "All of these hikes are taking place simply because they can," Hardekopf said.
Did you see that? 36%!
Oh really? "...no legislation can fully shield consumers..." BULL, usury laws and limits on leverage can definately protect the consumer and our entire system. The law recently passed does NOTHING. Of course those prior protections were killed by the industry who has taken over our money system.
Killing the concept of usury back in the early '80s allowed rates higher than 12% and that GREATLY accelerated the bad math of debt. It never should have happened and we desperately need to replace those laws as well as the Glass-Stiegel limits on leverage. Of course doing those two things would be a great start, but I must admit there is a side of me that doesn't want to see them as I would rather see the entire system implode (it's well on its way) so that we can properly start over, and properly identify the real roots of the problems – so far the media and the politicians are STILL not discussing the ROOTS.

Diwali Brings Cultures Together
By Steve Kent, editor in chief, The Utah Statesman, Tuesday, November 6, 2012
The Indian Student Association mixed contemporary and classical Indian entertainment during this year's Diwali celebration Nov. 3 in the TSC Ballroom. Hundreds of students and community members attended, many wearing traditional Indian attire.
Palak Vasudeva, president of the ISA, said the holiday celebrates the victory of good over evil in Indian mythology. For many in her generation, the holiday is celebrated among friends and family.
"For youngsters, it's all about getting together, having a night of cultural events and simply sitting and enjoying a warm evening," Vasudeva said.
The night's 14 performances included a variety of dance and vocal performances. Performers included USU students as well as other members of the Indian community.
The first half of the performances predominantly featured traditional Indian dance and song. Near the beginning of the evening, children from the Cache Valley Indian community performed the Ganesha Vandanam dance. Swathi Swaminathan, one of the hosts of the event, said the symbology of the dance was an invocation of the blessings of Ganesh, the Hindu god of wisdom.
The second half introduced more contemporary Indian performances with Bollywood karaoke, a rock concert and Bhangra, a style of music and dance combining Punjab and hip-hop influences.
Former ISA President Ashwin Kumar said the event was organized with the traditional performances first and the more contemporary presentations came in the second half. The latter performances were not only a mix of Indian and Western cultures, but a mix of modern and classical.
"The second half is pretty much us kids trying to have fun, and it's just about us in America and having fun," Kumar said.
Adam Frandsen, a USU alumnus who graduated in the spring, performed in the rock concert as a vocalist. Frandsen said he was approached to perform in Diwali through Indian friends he had met in his neighborhood. Frandsen said only one of the songs the band performed was American — Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" — and the rest were from India. He said despite the difference in language and culture, he felt pretty comfortable performing the songs.
"It didn't really seem like a different language, because I had most of the lyrics explained to me in advance," Frandsen said. "They're actually really pretty similar in terms of content. Most of the songs are about the feel of rocking out, or something to do with love or relationships."
Frandsen said the show was so high-energy, the drummer broke both his drum sticks during "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Frandsen said Ahsish Raj, another band member, got two marriage proposals after the show because his performance was so scintillating.
Halfway through the night, USU Catering served a dinner of Indian dishes.
Goldee Jamwal, a sophomore studying computer science, said he found the celebration of Indian cultures refreshing.
"It's like being in India," Jamwal said. "I feel the same environment."
Jamwal said the food, the attire of the performers and many audience members, as well as the conversations in Indian languages all contributed to the event's atmosphere. He said this is the third year he's attended the celebration.
Throughout the night, competitions modeled after the game show "Minute to Win It" punctuated performances. Contestants stacked Oreo cookies on their foreheads, balanced chains of coat hangers and stacked pyramids of plastic cups to win gift certificates to sponsoring restaurants.
Sponsors included Tandoori Oven, the Campus Store, Fox's Pizza Den, S.E. Needham Jewelers, Walmart and others.
Event coordinators also collected donations for Charity Vision, a humanitarian organization that provides optical surgeries in 25 countries worldwide. Lee Robison, a representative of the organization, said cataract surgeries can be performed in Africa for as little as $25.

Latest Infectious Disease News
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, March 11 (HealthDay News) -- Salmonella-infected African dwarf frogs from a California breeding facility sickened hundreds, and potentially thousands, of children and adults from 2008 to 2011, federal officials report.
Many of the children, whose average age was 5, were hospitalized with severe illness.
Parents should be cautious about pet frogs, which are often kept in home aquariums, and amphibians and reptiles in general, warned Shauna Mettee Zarecki, lead author of a new report and a public health advisor with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Families just weren't aware that there was a risk from these frogs or reptiles or amphibians in general," Mettee Zarecki said. "Any amphibians, particularly these frogs, should not be in homes where there are children less than 5 years old."
Medical researchers found 376 cases of infection with a type of salmonella in 44 states from 2008 to 2011. More than two-thirds were children under the age of 10.
Salmonella is spread by a bacteria and causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever that can last for several days, Mettee Zarecki said. Most people recover after about a week, but some need to be hospitalized, and the disease can be deadly.
About 30 percent of the infected people in this outbreak were hospitalized. Fortunately, none died.
Diagnosing the strain of salmonella requires testing a stool sample, and many physicians and patients don't bother to take that step, Mettee Zarecki said. For that reason, the CDC doesn't know how widespread the outbreak actually was. But previous research suggests that there may be 16 cases for each reported case, making it possible that this outbreak affected some 6,000 people.
The researchers linked the outbreak to a frog breeding facility in Madera County, Calif. The CDC didn't identify the facility, and Mettee Zarecki said it's not clear how the salmonella infection spread to the frogs, which transmitted it through their feces.
Children are especially vulnerable to salmonella, Mettee Zarecki said, and it appears that they were infected through contact with contaminated water from frog habitats, such as aquariums.
Dr. Robert Frenck, professor of pediatrics with the division of infectious diseases at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, noted that it's possible to be infected with salmonella by drinking contaminated water. But it seems to be more commonly transmitted either from food contaminated with the bacteria or direct contamination of the hand that subsequently goes in the mouth, said Frenck, who was not involved with the study.
In one case, a family cleaned an aquarium in the same kitchen sink that they used to bathe their child and kept baby bottles nearby. The child became infected and was hospitalized.
Owners of the frogs should empty and wash aquariums outside the home to avoid infecting sinks and bathtubs. And because any amphibians or reptiles could carry salmonella, they shouldn't be around kids under 5 at all, Mettee Zarecki said, nor around anyone who has a weakened immune system.
"There have been a number of outbreaks associated with a variety of pets, and amphibians have been known to carry salmonella. We always try to tell people that reptiles like turtles and snakes are a significant source of potential infection," she said. "But this is the first time they have been linked to an illness on this scale."
Dr. Pascal James Imperato, dean of the School of Public Health at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., recommends that children should not have certain kinds of pets, including chicks and ducklings.
"If [people] do buy them, they need to ensure that everyone in the household -- children and adults -- who have contact with them, should thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water after touching or handling them and the objects with which these pets come into contact, such as litter for chicks and ducklings, and terrarium materials for frogs and turtles," Imperato said.
Also make sure that children don't kiss the pets, he said.
The report was released online March 11 in advance of publication in the April print issue of Pediatrics.

How does a quarterback, helpless on the sidelines, deal with being on the brink of their first Super Bowl win? Tom Brady turned away, unable to watch. Eli Manning was giddy, probably planning to ride the Teacups over and over again. Joe Flacco? He was planning to cheat. Maybe he is elite.
The NFL has released its "Sound FX" for the final few minutes of the Super Bowl, and as always, it's fantastic, and has more Jim Harbaugh freakouts. Football is inherently cinematic, but having ground-level audio from mic'ed up players adds a human aspect that's lost while watching in realtime.
But let's examine this segment, on the Ravens sidelines as the 49ers prepared for a last-ditch kick return with four seconds left. If Ted Ginn Jr. returned it for a touchdown, 49ers win. If not, Ravens win. Joe Flacco was prepared to do anything to make sure he didn't go all the way. (Video by SBNation.)
Flacco (jokingly, we think and hope) tells Dennis Pitta and Marshal Yanda that if Ginn breaks through the coverage team, they should run on the field and bring him down. He says he's willing to do it too. This would have been the greatest ending in Super Bowl history.
"I don't know what the rule is on that," Flacco said. Unfortunately for his grand plan, the officials knew. According to the NFL rulebook,
If a substitute enters the field of play or the end zone while the ball is in play, it is an illegal substitution. If an illegal substitute inferes with the play, it may be a palpably unfair act.
For a palpably unfair act: Offender may be disqualified. The referee, after consulting his crew, enforces any such distance penalty as they consider equitable and irrespective of any other specified code penalty. The referee may award a score.
Had the world been graced with the stunning sight of Ted Ginn streaking down the sideline, only to be swarmed by helmet-less Ravens off the bench, the officials would have flagged it and given the 49ers the touchdown anyway. And then Ravens fans, convinced that Ginn would have been chased down legally and would not have scored, would burn down Flacco's house, New Orleans, and indeed all of Earth.

British Go Journal No. 92. Autumn 1993. Page 4.
Alex Rix
Feng Yun, 7 dan lady professional, was one of the four Chinese professionals at Canterbury last year. She expressed a desire to visit this country to improve her English and she persuaded me to issue an official invitation earlier this year to the Chinese Weiqi Association.
She was originally to stay for just two months prior to attending the European Go Congress in Prague, but the visit was unfortunately shortened due to difficulty obtaining a diplomatic passport in time. At the last minute, the trip was in jeopardy since the British Embassy were insisting that she obtain a "working visa". Luckily, this demand was withdrawn when I pointed out that she could win any game here with here eyes shut.
She arrived on the 18th June to my great relief and spent a hectic month touring the go clubs of England - unfortunately, due to shortage of time, I had to turn down an invitation from the West Wales Club at Barmouth.
Mrs Feng visited Newcastle, Cambridge, Leamington Spa, Bath and Bristol as well as playing in London at the CLGC, the Chinese club and Wanstead. The visit was paid for mainly by the BGA so I hope everyone found it worth while. We would be grateful for feedback so we can judge whether this type of expenditure is favoured by BGA members.
Feng Yun is a very pleasant professional, willing to teach and not so totally absorbed by the game that she couldn't find time to take an interest in other things. She is now due to take part in a very important championship, and I hope we haven't ruined her go whilst teaching her English!
Considering that I arranged the visit, I'm not sure how much the result of our game was due to diplomacy on her part or her desire to have fun rather than play reasonable moves in order to win.
Black: Alex Rix, 4d
White: Feng Yun, 7p
Handicap: 3 stones

The game was one of a number of simultaneous games played at the Central London Go Club on 23rd July.

Property Prices Keep the Locks on Myanmar; Office Space in Yangon the Most Expensive in Southeast Asian Region at $78 psm Vs Jakarta $24 psm Vs Manhattan $50 psm

Property Prices Keep the Locks on Myanmar
Office Space in Yangon the Most Expensive in Region
For years, international companies wanting to set up in Myanmar were stifled by Western sanctions or rebuffed by the country's military government. Now, as the country opens up, global corporations are finding a new hurdle: real-estate prices. Top-quality office space in prime locations in Yangon, the commercial capital of the poorest country in Southeast Asia, is now the most expensive in the region at $78 a square meter ($7.33 a square foot) per month, according to research from real-estate firm Colliers International. By comparison, office rentals in a booming market like Jakarta are $24 a square meter. Even in Manhattan, the average asking rent is lower, at $49.95.Serviced apartments and condominiums remain in short supply, pushing up costs for new expatriates and businesses, with additional units still a few years away. A client of Myanmar Deals Leasing recently toured three apartments before lunch, only to learn that all were taken by other interested parties by the end of that same day, according to the real-estate firm, which specializes in high-grade properties for businesses and diplomats.
Peter Witton, an expatriate in Yangon who works as a director at investment and advisory firm Anthem Asia, has spent recent days searching for a new apartment. He says one- or two-bedroom flats in poorly built buildings that include business space and, in some cases, schools are going for about $1,800 a month, three times what they would have cost a year ago.
"It is a bit depressing when you start looking around and seeing what's available," Mr. Witton says.
And the worst isn't over, property analysts say.
"We expect prices to go up even more, as foreign direct investment goes up and the investment climate improves," says Tony Picon, managing director at Colliers International in Myanmar.
With decent living and working spaces in such short supply, some of these professionals are less inclined to move their families to the market, a stumbling block for companies working on large-scale infrastructure or other projects.
Even for some companies operating in sectors that are slated to expand significantly in coming years—Myanmar boasts the fastest-growing tourism market in Southeast Asia—the cost of starting up remains unjustifiable.
Small luxury hotels aren't feasible at the moment because the property prices are too high, says Paul Kerr, chief executive of the U.K.-based hotel brand Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a group that includes about 520 hotels in more than 80 countries. "[Land owners] are dreaming about the amount they can make," he says.
Mr. Kerr's concerns are echoed by many American businesses already operating in Southeast Asia. Of the more than 470 American business leaders in the region, polled in a U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey published in August, 86% said they were dissatisfied with the high cost of rentals and apartments in the country and 79% said office rentals remain a major concern for their companies in Myanmar.
Still, not everyone is complaining. Investors are benefiting as the country's fledgling real-estate industry builds high-rises in markets where typically the tallest structures are still golden pagodas.
Many of these investors are wealthy Myanmar citizens who have few places to park their cash in the absence of a stable banking system, stock exchange or bond market. Increasingly, they are turning to real estate, pushing up land prices and thus rentals for foreign companies and expatriates. Foreigners are unable to buy land directly in Myanmar so they are limited to developing it through a joint-venture partnership with a Burmese developer.
"There's going to be a shortage of supply for many years to come," says Andrew Rickards, chief executive officer of Yoma Strategic Holdings Z59.SG +1.27% .
Mr. Rickards says that Yoma—a Singapore-listed investment firm with interests including real estate, construction and agriculture—is part of Myanmar businessman Serge Pun's empire. Yoma stock is trading at more than 80 times future earnings, and has doubled since the same period last year.
Yoma and other Myanmar firms are betting that growth will be fueled by the foreign companies that have taken a long-term view of the potentially lucrative market of 60 million. These include U.S. firms General Electric Co. GE +1.28%and Coca-Cola Co., KO -0.18%telecommunication operators like Norway's Telenor TEL.OS +1.91% ASA and Qatar's Ooredoo,ORDS.DO +1.72% and London-based bank Standard CharteredSTAN.LN -1.09% PLC, all of which have established operations in Myanmar over the past year.
In the U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey, 49% of American businesses in Southeast Asia say they plan to expand in Myanmar, despite complaints about high costs and other infrastructure hurdles. Frits van Paasschen, chief executive officer ofStarwood Hotels & Resorts HOT -0.03% —whose hotel brands include St. Regis, W and the Westin—says the company was planning to establish a presence in Myanmar.
"Rising land prices and a construction infrastructure that is still in its early stages would make building a world-class hotel a challenge, but will make the prize that much greater when the hotel is open," he says.
Yoma hopes to address the supply issues with new mega-developments, including the 10 million-square-foot Star City residential project in Thanlyin, northeast of downtown Yangon. Aimed at middle-class city residents, the development, slated for completion in early 2016, will be linked to downtown Yangon by ferry, and by road to the Japanese-led Thilawa special economic zone.

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480M is the steroidal notebook graphics card you've been waiting for (if you're a huge nerd): The world's fastest notebook GPU according to Nvidia, it's the first mobile chip using Nvidia's ridiculous Fermi architecture.
The hard specs, for the numbers-inclined: 352 CUDA cores running at 897 gigaflops, 850MHz processor speed, 1.2GHz memory, and yes, you can bolt two of them together for some SLI action (if your notebook is powered by a nuclear reactor). We'll have to wait a tick to get some benchmarks—until there are notebooks with the 480M inside—but they should be, um, zippy. [Nvidia, Nvidia]

I recently met with a few old friends, and when the topic of fitness clubs arose, we reminisced about our early days in the club business. We laughed as I recalled my first week of employment in the industry. I hadn't even been on the job for two days and was already being reprimanded by the area director.
I was talking with another instructor as the area director entered the gym. I could see him approaching us with a look that could kill. As he made a beeline toward us I began reviewing a checklist in my mind of what his problem might be. Then he screamed, and we learned.
He was furious that we had been talking to each other while there were plenty of members in the gym that we should have been talking to.
The members are the reason for the club's existence, the reason staffs are employed, and the focus of every minute on the job. As my career in the business progressed, I soon understood the power and importance of being able to recognize most members by name, as well as always focusing my attention on their needs, and their situations.
It is easy to forget what is really important to members. I currently have a membership to a beautiful facility in a Chicago suburb. It is new, clean and offers the latest in equipment and amenities. But is it enough to keep me? Honestly, if a new facility opened nearby, I could easily be persuaded to join the new club and cancel my current membership. Why? Possibly because I feel no sense of belonging or loyalty to the club. The only person on staff I know by name is the manager who showed me the club and sold me the membership. Because of my crazy schedule, I visit the club at various times each week, yet seldom is there any interaction with the staff, other than a possible "hello" as I show my card upon entering. It almost feels like I am a visitor from out of town, rather than a member of the club.
New technology doesn't seem to help this situation. Although the membership software and front desk check-in equipment is obviously important for running today's clubs, it often eliminates an opportunity to speak with members as they leave the facility. "How was your workout?" is rarely heard at many gyms as members leave the clubs, seemingly unnoticed.
Many people join a club for more than just a place to exercise. There are those who consider it a refuge at the end of a long day. Some have home offices and enjoy the opportunity to get out amongst other human beings. Yes, the equipment, classes, and cleanliness are important, but human interaction is what will keep members from thinking the grass is greener elsewhere.
Once members are inside the facility there is a perfect opportunity to earn loyalty. There is definitely no lack of people using equipment incorrectly. But in many clubs, if there is an instructor present, they are standing behind a counter or only helping someone who has paid extra for personal training. How much better could business be if people were really getting fit at our clubs? We have the ability to create walking billboards if we make sure members are doing the things necessary for real results. And that starts with a simple "hello."
Part of being in the business of exercise is understanding a little psychology. What makes people comfortable and how to teach without intimidating? Instructors, managers, and salespeople should all circulate the club on a regular basis, making sure to greet, speak to, assist, or at least acknowledge each visiting member they see.
Managers and owners must take the time to walk through the club with each employee, showing them the way it needs to be done. Lead through example as you greet members during the walk-through.
Get rid of chairs at the front desk. Can you imagine entering a nice restaurant, being greeted by someone behind a desk who doesn't even get off his or her butt when you walk in? Make your members feel important by addressing them by name when accepting their membership card.
Find a way to thank members for visiting the club. "How was your workout" or "Have a nice day" should be mandatory as each person leaves the facility.
As the media continues to report health club sales on the increase, there will be no shortage of new clubs being built. They will be brand new, bigger and promising many new things to your members. You can smile and stand your ground by going back to the basics for higher retention and happier members who feel they already belong to the right club.
