Organic economics: The budget version
Organic markets have been cutting prices. Should you buy?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Going organic has become a lot less trendy in the struggling economy.
As consumers have cut back spending, one of the first places they've looked to save is in the organics aisle at the grocery store. Sixty percent of consumers say they have changed their organic purchasing habits since the recession hit, according to a December study from market researcher Mintel. Three percent have stopped buying organic altogether.
- Bing: Organic meat and poultry
The single biggest factor: price. Consumers have nicknamed Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck" for its high prices, and the store has struggled with that image over the last year, says Michelle Chang, an analyst who covers the supermarket industry for Morningstar. One thing that Whole Foods and other natural retailers have done to retain customers is cut prices to stay competitive. Whole Foods has also been pushing its lower-priced private label, which includes organics, she says.
When is the higher price of organics worth it? Here are five ways to shop within your budget:
Prioritize your organics. Some produce requires less pesticide to grow, and so retains little or no residue after washing, according to the Environmental Working Group, a public health nonprofit. Peels on bananas and other tropical fruits further reduce your exposure.
Should You Buy Organic?
Worth It
Not Worth It
* Data from the Environmental Working Group.
Peaches, apples, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, grapes (imported)
Bananas, kiwi, mangoes, papaya, pineapples
Celery, potatoes, spinach, sweet bell peppers, lettuce
Asparagus, avocados, broccoli, sweet corn (frozen), onions, sweet peas (frozen)
Join a co-op. "It's like the farmer's market seven days a week," says Mark Kastel, co-director and senior farm policy analyst for The Cornucopia Institute, a research group that promotes sustainable and organic farming. The Iowa Food Cooperative in Ames, Iowa, charges a one-time $50 fee to join, and $10 every year thereafter. In exchange, members get access to low-priced food from local farms. For example, 5 pounds of certified organic whole-wheat flour cost $7.50. (In comparison, that much King Arthur organic whole-wheat flour will set you back roughly $8.75 at the supermarket. You'll save 14%.)
Keep in mind that some co-ops require a more substantial commitment to save. The Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, N.Y., for example, requires a $25 joining fee, an investment of $100 (refunded when you leave the co-op). You must also work at the co-op, for at least two hours and 45 minutes every four weeks.
Clip coupons. Organics don't often pop up in the Sunday coupon circular, but keep your eyes open for manufacturers' coupons good on "any" of a particular product line. For example, a recent 50-cent Quaker oatmeal coupon: "It doesn't say organic specifically, but you can use it on Quaker's instant organic oatmeal," says Teri Gault, the founder of shopping site The Grocery Game.
Also check manufacturers' Web sites for printout coupons for your favorite organic brands. Stonyfield currently offers 17 different 50-cents-off coupons for its organic milk, yogurt and ice creams.
Buy in season. In-season produce is cheap to begin with, and organic prices are more competitive, Kastel says. Compare prices at farmer's markets and local supermarkets. At New York food delivery service FreshDirect.com, for example, both conventional and organic spinach are currently priced at two bundles for $5.
Consider generics. Many supermarkets are adding organic lines to their private labels, a move that enables consumers to buy organic at significant discounts over big-name brands, says Gault. Meijer has Meijer Organics, Whole Foods has 360 Organics, and Publix has GreenWise Market. "When the store-brand organic is on sale, it's a killer deal," says Gault.

"Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what
do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?"
'What's it going to be then, eh?' There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brothers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days and everybody very quick to forget, newspapers not being read much neither. Well, what they sold there was milk plus something else. They had no licence for selling liquor, but there was no law yet against prodding some of the new vesches which they used to put into the old moloko, so you could peet it with velocet or synthemesc or drencrom or one or two other vesches which would give you a nice quiet horrorshow fifteen minutes admiring Bog And All His Holy Angels and Saints in your left shoe with lights bursting all over your mozg. Or you could peet milk with knives in it, as we used to say, and this would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of dirty twenty-to-one, and that was what we were peeting this evening I'm starting off the story with..
The story takes place in the late 1990's and early 2000's but was written back in the 1960's and describes the corruption in the government. Alex, our main character, is caught after being set up by one of his friends, Georgie, that is, and is sentenced to prison for 14 years. Alex, wanting to get out sooner than this, of course, hears about a new treatment called the "Ludovico Treatment." Which is a horrible thing that is supposed to reform criminals. This treatment ends up making Alex sick when he thinks of any acts of violence or sex. But also, as a result of one of the sessions, he cannot listen to his old favourite song, Ludwig Van Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

I would also like to include the newest addition to our gang, Joshie.
Before getting no farther than 3 meters from his victim he came back, running with his club, a new, much more ultra-violent look upon his face and gave the poor cheena one real horrowshow tolchok. This was the end. He walked away with his ol' droogies following him. Alex's victim lay there behind them, dead as a doornail.

A former camp director has been arrested on child pornography charges following a two-month investigation by Orange County authorities.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office arrested Bruce Howard Aycock on Wednesday on federal charges of receiving and distribution child pornography.
"This is one of the worst cases I've worked on, because of the age of the victims," said investigator Chan McDade of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators say Aycock collected and distributed thousands of images and hundreds of videos of children age 5 and under.
McDade said there were no images they knew of from children in Orange County.
Executive director Richard Stevens of New Hope Camp and Conference Center in Hillsborough confirmed that Aycock used to work there. Aycock worked there for five years and lived on the property with his wife.
"This week the Orange County Sheriff's Office arrested Bruce Howard Aycock on federal charges of receiving child pornography and distribution of child pornography," Stevens said. "Mr. Aycock is a former employee of New Hope. New Hope suspended Mr. Aycock as soon as we were made aware of these allegations and he resigned soon after.
"There are no allegations that Mr. Aycock's activities involved New Hope Camp & Conference Center, to our knowledge, and we understand that all of the allegations revolve around Mr. Aycock's activities on the Internet."
New Hope Camp is a long-established camp that began in 1950 and is located on 165 acres between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children provided information to authorities from a Cybertip.
McDade said Aycock used Drop Box, a popular web software to store data, to collect and distribute the porn. McDade said Drop Box provided the tip to investigators.
Aycock could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

text: College lacrosse and accelerometers are finally coming together on a large scale. A study launched at Sacred Heart University is monitoring head impacts with accelerometers for the entire season. Along with the sensor data, the study will utilize neurocognitive measures (tests of thinking and memory), IQ scores, mood assessments, and drug dependency screens to compare to impact data and any diagnosed concussions. Many of these factors have been shown to change after a concussion, and this study will examine how changes are linked to cumulative head forces as well, measured by the helmet sensors.

SPOKANE, Wash. - For many animal organizations, July 5th is the busiest day of the year. Independence Day fireworks often cause pets to run away or hide.
All week, the Spokane area Craigslist has averaged about ten lost pets. That number surged to more than 32 after noon Thursday.
The owner of an Australian German Shepherd mix wrote, "Assuming that the fireworks spooked her a bit and she found a way out of the fence."
Another read, "My dog took off last night because of fireworks."
Dog owner Kipp McDonald of Spokane did not want to risk it. He took his dog on a walk long before Thursday's fireworks and kept his pet inside at night.
"I think dogs are conditioned to expect certain things and when the 4th of July only runs around once a year - fireworks and stuff like that - that's just something they're not used to and they're going to react differently. If you're not at home with them, they would have a tendency to seek out some sort of shelter."
The Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, SCRAPS, recommends using sites like Craigslist to report lost or found pets. Within an hour of a pet being impounded, SCRAPS will put a notification about the animal on its website.

Paramore has revealed the name and the release date for their fourth studio album. The new release will be self-titled and will hit all the usual outlets on April 9. The forthcoming album will be the group's first without brothers Josh Farro and Zac Farro , who left the band in 2010 to form their own group, Novel American .
"The whole making of this album was a rediscovering of ourselves as a band and as friends," writes the band in a joint statement on their blog. "It was a process that allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians, singers, as people!"
Paramore also announced that the first single from the upcoming album will be "Now," a song they feel is "the perfect way to start this new journey we are embarking on not only as a band but as a movement." A release date for the track has yet to be announced.

DETROIT (WJBK) -- The Michigan Humane Society says ten horses in differing degrees of neglect and ill health have been rescued from a warehouse in an industrial area on Detroit's west side.
"It is appalling to see the callousness that some have toward these beautiful animals," said Debby MacDonald, MHS Chief Cruelty Investigator. "Thankfully, these horses will not have to suffer without care any longer. We are very thankful to our partners on this rescue because without them, these horses would not be in a safe place receiving lifesaving medical treatment."
We're told MHS' cruelty investigators teamed up with Detroit Animal Control to remove the horses. An investigation is ongoing.
The humane society estimates veterinary care and housing for the animals may cost as much as tens of thousands of dollars. If you would like to make a donation to help defray the cost, contact the Michigan Humane Society at 1-866-MHUMANE or visit their website at www.michiganhumane.org.

Wait for More Pullback on This Small Growing Retailer
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I have paid attention to one small cap retailer for more than a year now. I even have recommended it as an investment opportunity in September 2011. This retailer has experienced quite a lot of volatility in the stock market for the last several years, with a beta of 1.95. In 2009, it was as low as $6.90 per share. In June, it was as high as $39.50 per share, and now it is trading at only $20.68 per share. The company is Zumiez (NASDAQ: ZUMZ) with around 434 stores in the US and 10 stores in Canada. Just recently, Zumiez reported a fall in its profits for the third quarter results, making its shares plunge 10%. Should we harvest the shares at the current price? Or should we wait?
Zumiez experienced a good year-over-year growth in its revenue, of 16.9%, from $153.95 million to $180 million. However, because of the significant increases in the cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses, its operating profit declined from $22.8 million to $21.4 million, a decrease of 6.1%. Its diluted EPS for the third quarter 2012 was $0.40, a little lower than the third quarter last year, of $0.45. Zumiez experienced a third quarter comparable store sales growth of 3.7% on top of 6% last year. However, in November, its comp store sales actually decreased 4.2%, compared to its 8.4% growth in the same period last year. According to the company's CEO Rick Brooks, the sluggish sales in November were due to a soft sales environment in Europe and Hurricane Sandy:
"Our third quarter operating results reflect softer than expected sales trends in Europe and modest comparable store sales for the post back to school period. Comp trends remained challenging in November, particularly early in the month in part due to Hurricane Sandy, however we are encouraged by the more recent sales results, with positive comps over the Black Friday weekend."
Zumiez still expected the decrease of 3%-4% comp store sales in the fourth quarter, along with the sales of $218-$221 million and $0.59 - $0.62 EPS. So for the full year, its EPS would be in the range of $1.20 to $1.23 per share. Currently, it is trading at $20.68 per share, so the market is valuing Zumiez at 16.8x to 17.23x FY12 earnings.
As of October, Zumiez had $300.4 million in stockholders' equity, only $6.8 million in long-term debt and other liabilities, and more than $98 million in cash and marketable securities. It was worth noting that its inventories have increased significantly, from $93.8 million last year to $109.8 million this year. Its level of inventory has reached the highest since 2005. It could be a warning sign combined with the sluggish comp store figure. The total enterprise value was $555.65 million, with its EV/EBITDA of 6.16x.
Compared to its competitors including Pacific Sunwear of California (NASDAQ: PSUN) and Hot Topic (NASDAQ: HOTT), Zumiez is the most expensive, whereas Hot Topic is trading at 5.12x EV/EBITDA. Pacific Sunwear doesn't produce positive EBITDA, so the EV/EBITDA is a negative number. Even with the alarming increase in its inventories, Zumiez inventories, as a percentage of the total assets, is the least among the three, of 23.84%, whereas Pacific Sunwear's is at 38.5% and Hot Topic's is at 31.36%. Over the previous 12 months, Zumiez is still the best performing retailer with a 15.22% ROIC, whereas Hot Topic only delivered a 9% ROIC and Pacific Sunwear created losses.
Foolish Bottom Line
I am still quite bullish about Zumiez over the long-term. However, with the recent decrease in its same store sales and the sudden increase in its inventories, I would rather wait for a larger pullback to initiate any positions in this small, debt-free and growing retailer.

Chris Gueffroy
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
|Chris Gueffroy
21 June 1968
|6 February 1989
(aged 20)
Border Strip
Cause of death
|Shot by a guard whilst attempting to leave East Berlin
Body discovered
|Britz district canal
|Chris Gueffroy memorial
|Known for
|Last to be killed by use of firearms at the Berlin Wall
Chris Gueffroy (June 21, 1968, Pasewalk, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern – February 6, 1989) was the last person to be shot while trying to escape to West Berlin across the Berlin Wall. He is often erroneously named as the last person to die in the attempt to cross the wall, but he was in fact only the last to be killed through the use of weapons, and the second-last to die in an escape attempt. Winfried Freudenberg died in the crash of an improvised balloon aircraft by which he crossed the border into West Berlin on March 8, 1989.
Together with his friend Christian Gaudian, Gueffroy attempted on the night of February 5–6, 1989, to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin, along the Britz district canal. The two believed that the Schießbefehl, the standing order to shoot anyone who attempted to cross the wall, had been lifted. Climbing the last metal lattice fence, the two were discovered and came under fire from the NVA border troops. Gueffroy was hit in the chest by two shots and died in the border strip. Gaudian, badly but not fatally injured, was arrested and was sentenced on May 24, 1989, to an imprisonment of three years by the Pankow district court for attempted illegal border-crossing of the first degree ("versuchten ungesetzlichen Grenzübertritts im schweren Fall").
In September 1989, Gaudian was freed on bail by the East German government and on October 17, 1989, he was transferred to West Berlin.
The four border guards involved at first obtained an award (Leistungsabzeichen der Grenztruppen) from the chief of the Grenzkommandos Mitte border guards, Erich Wöllner, and a prize of 150 East German Marks each. However, after the reunification of East and West Germany, they were prosecuted by Berlin regional court. Two of them were released in January 1992. One got a suspended sentence. The latter, Ingo Heinrich, who was responsible for the mortal shot in the heart, was at first sentenced to three and a half years of jail. On appeal, the Bundesgerichtshof (High Court of Justice) in 1994 reduced the penalty to a suspended sentence of two years.
In 2000, two SED functionaries, Siegfried Lorenz and Hans-Joachim Böhme, were tried for the death of Gueffroy and two other young men, but acquitted as the judge could find no evidence that they might have been able to lift the shoot-to-kill order. The case was retried on 7 August 2004, and the two men were found guilty and given suspended sentences of 15 months each. The judge explained that the short sentences were due to the length of time since the events. This was the last case concerning deaths on the inner German border.
On June 21, 2003, which would have been his 35th birthday, a monument to Gueffroy was erected on the bank of the Britz district canal. The monument was designed by Berlin artist Karl Biedermann. One of the crosses at the White Crosses memorial site next to the Reichstag building is devoted to him.

Vandals strike at a San Carlos Park golf course. The culprit poured motor oil all over one of the greens, causing thousands of dollars in damage.
Golfers at the San Carlos Golf Club on Constitution Circle have been dealing with this sort of crime for some time.
"I think it's terrible. It shouldn't happen out here at all," says Ron Perrott, who golfs at the course. "It's not a good thing."
The latest incident happened over the weekend. Lee County deputies say someone got onto the course and poured motor oil on the 4th green.
Since 2010, there have been 7 reported incidents at the golf course. The majority involve someone dumping chemicals on the greens. They've used motor oil, weed killer, and even acid.
"I don't like it. There's going to be vandals but something has to be done about them," says neighbor Katherine Lauletta. "I sure don't want a fence, I'll tell you."
An elderly neighbor was arrested a few years ago after security officials at the club apparently caught him pouring chemicals on the grass. Deputies though won't say if they suspect him again in this latest incident.

Bellevue Police need help identifying robbery suspect
Bellevue police have asked for help identifying a serial robbery suspect believed to be linked to at least seven armed robberies throughout the Eastside, from Oct. 21 through Dec. 19.
Those robberies have targeted Subways, gas stations and Baskin Robbins throughout the region. In footage of the crimes being committed, the suspect is believed to be wearing surgical gloves and to be carrying a black handgun. He is described as a white male, in his 20s, wearing a white bandana over his face, a hooded sweatshirt, and occasionally a black or brown leather jacket. His shoes seem to be black with a white trim.
If you can identify this suspect, Bellevue police ask that you call 425-452-6050.

The Madness of March and An Elite Group of Eight: Part One
Jeff is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
March is a favorite month for many reasons. One of the principal reasons is because of the madness that descends every year at this time on sports fans and basketball courts all across the country. From high school sectionals all the way to the college championships, I love what the games represent. The madness of March, like capitalism itself, allows for the best to rise and be recognized. Through hard work and preparation, diligent effort, tremendous will, heart, and sometimes a little luck, excellence rises and is rewarded. The madness of March is one of the few remaining examples of a pure competitive American spirit. No politics, no spin--pure will, effort and accomplishment. Like many others, I love it.
With that competitive American spirit in mind, there is a way to sort through the statistics and spin on countless publicly traded companies to find a few successful long-term competitors with some very impressive records. The method I'm speaking of is to look at the dividend and distribution history of a company.
These Companies aren't Sexy
Dividends, in a nutshell, are the way companies share some of the profits of their activities with their shareholders. Every quarter they send a check to the shareholder or their IRA. Some companies also have the wonderful habit of increasing the amount of those checks every year. But only a very few have the absolute distinction of increasing the amount each year for the last 50 years. Now, these companies are in no way sexy. They rarely make the "Hot Stocks" lists. They are often called stodgy, old-fashioned, or even, heaven forbid, boring. But they pay their shareholders. And they have paid them in increasing amounts for 50 or more years.
But 50+ Years of Raising Dividends is Very Sexy.
Since it's bracket, bubble and Cinderella time, I'd like to talk about these dividend companies (i.e. teams) in the terms of March Madness. I've broken the teams into two divisions, A & B. Division A has acceptable current yields and are at or near their 52-week highs. Call them your big conference teams "playing well late in the season" with potential to stretch their wins deep into tournament play. Division B has good current yields and are at relatively attractive prices for entry. Call them your smaller conference championship teams with potential for a few Cinderellas to emerge.
All of our Division A and B teams have raised their dividends and or distributions each of the last 50 years or more and are rated 3 stars or higher by Standard & Poor's (except for one Division B team, which has no star rating from S&P).
Allow me to present Division A:
The team formerly known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing.
Similar to another superstar from the Twin Cities and formerly known by some other name, 3M (NYSE: MMM) comes out of the Midwest with a deep bench and a long 102-year-tradition of success. Regardless of what kind of opposition the team faces, the strength of its bench continues to perform. On the floor or quick off the bench, the team can draw revenues from services and or products in Industrial and Transportation, Health Care, Consumer and Office, Safety, Security, and Protection, Display and Graphics, and Electronics and Communications. Supporting the team from behind the bench include wholesalers, retailers, jobbers, distributors, and dealers. As part of the powerful "DOW 30 Conference," with a current yield of 2.4% and powering through its 52-week high on Feb. 28, 3M may be one to watch this tournament season and into the summer.
Suburban Chicago powerhouse with low expectations from "professionals."
A team that doesn't have quite so deep a bench is the powerhouse from suburban Chicago, Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV). Dover still has a formidable revenue generating lineup, including products and services in Communication Technologies, Energy, Engineered Systems, and Printing and Identification. Also, it set a new 52-week high recently (Feb. 22) and has a current yield of a little less than 1.9%. A Forbes "scouting report" showed that the team is still somewhat out of favor with so-called "professional" investors. As of Feb. 15 it is the 89th most shorted stock of the S&P 500, with a "days to cover" stat of 5.15. If Dover continues to move higher and those shorts get nervous, the team may make for a strong tournament showing and a great summer.
Frank, Feisty Coach and attractive yield for this long time competitor.
Possessing yet another deep bench and displaying great performance as we head deeper into tournament month is one of the many fine teams from the "show me" state of Missouri. Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR), a diversified technology team out of St Louis, has revenue generators on their bench, including product and service providers in the fields of Process Management, Industrial Automation, Network Power, Climate Technologies and Commercial and Residential Solutions. Always frank, often entertaining, their Coach (CEO) David Farr recently lambasted the press with his Feb. 11 outburst, stating, "We are not a one-trick pony." He continued, "If I see that in writing, one more g— d— time, I'm going to tear them apart." Mr. Farr was criticizing those who had suggested his team is one-dimensional—highly successful in China but otherwise uninspiring in performance elsewhere. Pulling back just over 4% from its Feb. 19 high of $58.50, and with an attractive current yield of 2.9%, and a leader trying to prove some things to the press, Emerson is a team worth watching this spring and into the summer.
Magnificent Seven.
With probably the deepest bench of any of our competitors and a tradition of solid long-term performance, increasing dividends, and quality products, Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) is a pretty sure bet to go if not all the way, then at least as long as the madness of this bull lasts. A magnificent bench with seven revenue generating prime-time-players, including Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric Care, Home Care, Baby Care and Family Care, make PG a solid pick for any bracket. PG has a 2.9% yield, and is seeing consolidation after setting a new 52-week high on Feb. 19 at, get this, $77.77. PG and its magnificent seven revenue producers may make for a great pick for this bullish season.
We'll talk about the Division B teams after halftime. Go ahead, order some more wings and beer, but be sure to come back!

The rental self-storage industry emerged from nothing to become a $22 billion-a-year trade with more U.S. locations than McDonald's, Subway and Jack In The Box combined.
The easiest place to find out when storage-unit auctions are taking place is on the Internet. Here are two websites that offer up-to-date lists:
This is the second of a two-part series on the self-storage business.
Today: Inside the self-storage industry.
Thursday: The buyers and sellers
For an industry that emerged from nowhere with no inherent allure, no collective marketing savvy, and no tangible product to take home, the rental self-storage industry has piled up impressive numbers.
Fifty-thousand storage facilities now dot the American landscape, most of them austere, nearly windowless buildings wedged into commercial strips and industrial zones. That means the industry boasts more domestic locations than McDonald's, Subway and Jack in the Box combined.
With each storage yard containing, on average, 500 rental compartments, there are literally millions of garage-like vaults in which to store golf clubs, skis and old clothing, says R. Christian Sonne, a self-storage specialist at Cushman & Wakefield Western, an Irvine financial services firm. The combined square footage of those units is three times the size of Manhattan, by one calculation. Every man, woman and child in the United States could stand inside those spaces all at once, industry officials like to say.
And still do jumping jacks.
"It's way bigger than people think," Rachel Greenfield, marketing manager for a storage-related company, says of the industry, which barely existed in the 1960s and began a span of steady growth in the 1970s. A tipping point occurred near the end of the century, when the concept more than took off, she says. "It blew up."
A fragmented market
By then, Wall Street had discovered the sector. Infusions of cash created what one expert calls a "super-fragmented" playing field in which tens of thousands of relatively minor storage operators, including more than 27,000 stand-alone "mom and pops," compete against a handful of goliaths that control hundreds of locations apiece.
Most new construction ended during the recession, and many operators suffered, but overall the industry held up well compared with the retail and office sectors, Sonne says. Occupancy rates and income are rising again. The industry takes in $22 billion annually, twice what Americans spent last year buying movie tickets.
Such success makes self-storage one of the remarkable stories of American commerce. Even those in the industry are amazed, especially since the first storage yards were almost afterthoughts, an attempt to squeeze a few dollars from land next to freeways or on the outskirts of town. Or land awaiting later development into hospitals or retail centers.
Self-storage "is a real-estate class that isn't sexy, per se," says Warren Allan, president of Dana Point-based Optivest Properties, which operates 42 storage facilities in six states. "It's flown below the radar screen."
Storage has always battled a perception problem: that it is illogical to pay to keep something you already own, and perhaps even pay more in rent than the merchandise is worth.
The reasons for stashing it
What no one fully appreciated was how useful temporary storage would become in a highly transient society.
"This is an event-driven business," says Lance Watkins, founder and CEO of Storage Outlet, a chain with 15 locations, including sites in Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Westminster. Those important events often involve what he calls the "three Ds": divorce, debt problems and death.
People move. They upsize, they downsize, they combine households. They clean out the homes and apartments of deceased loved ones. They expand a business and need a place for extra inventory. "You come home and a water pipe broke and your house is flooded," Watkins says. "You need a storage unit to put your stuff in."
And America, it turns out, is a demonstrably materialistic society. People cling to photo albums and school yearbooks. They hang onto objects they might have difficulty replacing, or things that "might be valuable someday," whether or not they still fit into closets and garages.
Southern California, a dense and transient megalopolis, grew as a self-storage hotbed. Orange County is home to four of the industry's top 20 storage firms, in addition to the California Self Storage Association, the industry trade group, which is based in Irvine.
Low cost, low maintenance
Watkins, 48, a Newport Beach resident, entered the industry in the mid-1990s. In those days, especially, the overhead was low. He placed some of his facilities on land that nobody else could use, negotiating long-term leases on power-company easements. He took advantage of the U.S. trade imbalance with China by having his storage units built overseas at minimal cost. The units were used as one-time, one-way shipping containers, bringing Chinese-made goods into America.
Once the containers arrived, he says, they were modified and installed at his yards as storage units.

This article provides information on how the Sophos Cloud installer detects and removes third-party security software prior to installation.

Note: We encourage you to submit a support request detailing the version of the third-party security software we fail to detect or remove to help us improve our Competitor Removal Tool (CRT).

Note: To confirm the software versions that are detected by the Sophos Cloud installer, you can do as follows:
AVRemove.exe --listproducts > crtproducts.txt
