The latest monthly QV Residential Price Movement Index shows that nationwide residential property values for July have increased 7.6% over the past year and 2.3% over the past three months. This means they are now 15.6% above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 5.9% and values remain below the 2007 peak by 0.9%.
The Auckland market has increased 11.7% year on year and values are up 31.8% since 2007. When adjusted for inflation values are up 9.9% over the past year and are 12.9% above the 2007 peak.
QV National Spokesperson Andrea Rush said, "We are starting to see a slowdown in the rate of value increases in many of the main centres following on from the slowdown in sales volumes over the past few months."
"The Auckland region as a whole has seen values rise over the past three months but some areas of the super city are now showing a slight decline in values."
"Residential property values in Christchurch are still rising across the city and values in Tauranga and Dunedin have also increased slightly while Hamilton values are down slightly and Wellington values are now showing a downward trend."
"Sales volumes are between 15 and 25% lower than they were this time in 2012 and 2013 in most places around the country."
"This slowdown is most likely due to the LVR speed limits and interest rate rises as well as the annual winter seasonal downturn. However, and the reserve bank has now said it will take a break in rate rises for the moment and banks are advertising that they will negotiate on lending to those with deposits of less than 20%."
The Auckland region as a whole saw residential property values increase by 2.1 % over the past three months and 11.7% year on year.
North Shore Coastal saw values increased the most, up 3.5% over the past three months, followed by Rodney – North where values have risen 3.2% since April. For the first time in the past couple of years values in Auckland City – Central have seen a decrease in value, down by 1.2% over the past three months.
QV Valuer Bruce Wiggins said, "Auckland is starting to show a slowdown in the rate of home value increases and a few areas are showing a slight drift downwards in value over the past month including Auckland City East down by 1.3%, Auckland City down by 0.4% and North Shore-North Harbour down by 0.9%."
"This is the first 'normal' winter the Auckland property market has seen in a few years, where we are seeing reduced house sales and fewer attendees at open homes."
"Some properties are sitting around for several weeks with no offers, or below expectation offers which could be due to a 'disconnect' between buyer and seller expectations especially where the property requires some form of maintenance or upgrading."
"This market is also underpinned by an environment where buyers need a 20% deposit and we have seen four successive interest rate increases."
"QV valuers have been busy with refinancing work as people fix their interest rates. A rate increase of 1% per annum may not seem a lot but with large mortgages it can make quite a big difference to repayments."
Hamilton and Tauranga
Residential property values in Hamilton City have decreased slightly by 0.2% over the past three months, however they are up by 3.9% since July last year.
Values in South West Hamilton have increased by 0.5% over the past three months. While, values in both the North East and North West of the city have decreased slightly, down 0.7% since April and South East Hamilton values are also down by 0.3% over the same period.
Values in the Waipa District are up 1.8% in the past three months and 6.5% year on year.
QV Valuer Nicky Harris said, "House sale volumes in Hamilton have been decreasing for some time now and this is now starting to effect sale prices with values in the city showing a slight decrease over all."
"Despite some national media hype saying it could be easier to get a loan now if you have less than a 20% deposit, there still continues to be decreased activity in the lower end of the market since the LVR restrictions came into affect late last year."
"However, the market is still relatively steady and there is a shortage of stock in well established areas close to city so these properties are selling well and holding value."
"There are more properties in the $600,000 plus range coming on to the market and supply has finally caught up with demand resulting in a slowdown in volumes and sale prices due to this greater choice for purchasers."
Residential Property values in Tauranga City have increased by 1.2% over the past three months and 5.6% year on year. Values in the Western Bay of Plenty have decreased by 0.6% since April and but are up 3.2% year on year.
QV Registered Valuer Mairi Macdonald said, "Sales volumes in Tauranga are decreasing however values in the city are still increasing slightly."
"Fewer lower value homes are selling due to the LVR lending restrictions and properties are also taking longer to sell especially those under $350,000."
"However, we are seeing more demand for higher value properties (typically over $500,000) due to out of town buyers and there is some evidence of investors looking for higher value properties."
Residential property values in the Wellington Region as a whole are down 0.9% over the past three months, but they have increased 1.2% year on year.
Wellington City have seen a slight decrease of 0.8% over the past three months, Lower Hutt is down 2.3% in the past three months and values there are now the same as they were this time last year. Upper Hutt is also down 0.3% over the past three months and 0.3% year on year. However, values on the Kapiti Coast District have increased 0.6% over the past three months and 3.2% year on year.
QV Wellington Registered Valuer Kerry Buckeridge said, "Year on year values in Wellington have increased, but the rate of increase is dropping month on month which is reflective of there being lower sales volumes than this time last year."
"Even those real estate agents who have been optimistic up until now are saying there has been very little activity over the last six weeks and few factors to drive market growth. The Hutt Valley is very quiet, perhaps more so than Wellington."
"Demand for apartments is low, particularly as for many the operating costs have increased due, partly, to the increased insurance costs following the Christchurch Earthquakes and also the need for earthquake strengthening in some buildings."
"With insurance premiums now beginning to be struck at slightly lower levels than at the peak those buildings still needing to maintain high Body Corporate Levies due to the need to fund deferred maintenance or earthquake strengthening are suffering in the marketplace."
Christchurch and Dunedin
Residential property values in Christchurch City have increased 2.1% over the past three months, 6.5% year on year.
Christchurch – Hills has seen an increase in home values of 4.4% over the past three months while Southwest Christchurch has increased 3.0%, Christchurch East is up 1.6% and Christchurch Central and North is up 1.3%.
QV Valuer Daryl Taggart said, "Over the past few months it has only been in the new build housing market where things appear to be at full steam ahead."
"The rest of the residential property market is showing a normal level of activity and movement but we are far from where we were 12 to 18 months ago in so far as demand from buyers."
"There is no longer such a large shortage of supply as more homes have been repaired and more new homes have been completed and are coming to market."
"The Christchurch Hills area is showing a marked increase over the past three months however this is not indicative of the market there which is actually more in line with other city areas."
Property values in Dunedin City have increased by 0.3% over the past three months and by 2.2% year on year and values there are now 1.6% above the previous peak of 2007.
Dunedin Central and North values are up 0.5% over the past three months and 2.2% year on year. Dunedin South has also increased 1.0% in the past three months and 2.3% year on year. Values in the Dunedin Peninsula and Coastal areas are also up 0.6 % over the past three months and 2.3% year on year.
QV Registered Valuer Duncan Jack said, "The market conditions of recent months prevail in Dunedin with slowly increasing values and overall listing numbers at low to moderate levels across the city."
"There is reasonable to good demand for those properties listed and many properties are selling fairly quickly particularly those that are well presented and priced realistically. There has also been some multi offer scenarios reported of late."
"The highest demand appears to be for low to mid value properties in the $250,000 to $350,000 range."
"Listings may increase as we come into spring as winter is traditionally the least popular time of year to sell. Many buyers are still cautious and appear happy to wait for the 'right' property."
Provincial centres
Values in the provincial centres are variable while many are decreasing or flat there are a number of areas where residential property values are rising.
In the North Island, residential property values in the Kaipara District have increased by 2.4% over the past three months and are up 7.6% year on year. The Matamata Piako District is also up 3.7% over the past three months and values there are up 5.5% since July last year. Values in New Plymouth are down slightly by 0.2% over the past three months but are up by 4.6% year on year.
In the South Island, residential property values in the Kaikoura District have increased by 4.0% over the past three months and are up 4.6% year on year. Values in the Clutha District are also up by 5.2% over the past three months and 7.1% year on year as are values in the Central Otago District which are up 3.4% over the past three months and 7.0% year on year.
The latest monthly QV Residential Price Movement Index shows that nationwide residential property values for June have increased 8.0% over the past year, and 2.1% over the past three months. This means they are now 15.0% above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 6.3% and values remain below the 2007 peak by 1.3%.
The Auckland market has increased 12.3% year on year and values are up 31.4% since 2007. When adjusted for inflation values are up 10.6% over the past year and are 12.8% above the 2007 peak.
Andrea Rush QV National Spokesperson said, "The nationwide index is still increasing but the picture around the country is mixed."
"Residential property values in Auckland and Christchurch are still increasing at a similar rate to what they were in June last year."
"While values in Wellington and Dunedin are showing a downward trend this month, as are a number of other provincial centres around the country."
"Sales volumes and home loan approvals (new and existing) are also down considerably at between 15-20% less than at this time last year."
The Auckland region as a whole has increased 2.7% over the past three months and 12.3% year on year. Manukau East is up the most with values increasing 4.3% over the past three months. Followed by the North Shore – North Harbour where values have risen 4.2%. While in Waitakere City values rose 2.3% over the same period.
QV Valuer Bruce Wiggins said, "We are seeing a gradual reduction in the rate of growth in property values in some areas and more sellers opting to put on an asking price or sell by negotiation.
"However, sale by auction remains popular in high value areas or where there are special characteristics."
"The gradual reduction in growth is particularly noticeable in 'hot spots' such as Waitakere, which was up more than 17% year on year a few months ago and is now showing a 15.2% increase year on year and Papakura, where values are also flattening off."
"Land-banking remains popular in North-West Auckland where there are a number of new subdivisions currently being undertaken and more are planned."
"Within Flat Bush there appears to be a flattening of prices in recent times. This may be due to a number of builders/developers who bought land on terms at around the same time completing construction with the new builds appearing on the market at similar times. This can create an over-supply and may affect values somewhat there."
Hamilton and Tauranga
Residential property values in Hamilton City has risen 1.1% over the past three months, and 4.9% over the past year.
Values in the North East of the city have increased 1.3% in the past three months and 5.8% year on year. Hamilton Central and North West is also up 1.3% in the past three months and 3.9% year on year.
Values in the Matamata-Piako District have increased 2.1% in the past three months as have values in the Waikato District which are up 4.1% over the same period.
However, values in the South Waikato have decreased 4.4% over the past three months and 1.6% since this time last year. Values there are now 23.2% below the previous peak of 2007. Values in the Waitomo District have are also down 4.2% year on year and are now 37.9% below 2007 levels.
QV Valuer Nicky Harris said," Values in Hamilton have seen a slight increase this month, which has been driven by the top end of the market, particularly in North Hamilton."
"Elsewhere in the city and in the low and middle market we are seeing a gradual reduction in the rate of growth but in general as there are fewer properties on the market, it is still a sellers' market in Hamilton."
"In parts of the wider Waikato region many smaller towns are seeing decreases in value having been hit hard by the LVR speed limits which have slowed activity and is now driving values down."
Tauranga City values have increased 2.0% in the past three months and 5.5% year on year. Values in the Western Bay of Plenty are also rising, up 1.6% in the past three months and 6.2% year on year.
QV Registered Valuer Mairi Macdonald said, "The market is mixed depending on the suburb and as prices are increasing in more sought after areas more buyers are looking in cheaper suburbs."
"Bethlehem is performing well due to a new town centre development."
"In Papamoa, a lack of new housing continues to put pressure on prices as demand remains steady for this beach location with relatively cheap prices compared to other city beach locations."
"Sales volumes over in Tauranga and Mt Maunganui are down which is likely to be due to a typical annual slowdown heading into the winter months."
"The Western Bay of Plenty and Te Puke areas are also seeing a drop in sales volumes which has led to a slight decrease in values and demand heading into winter."
Values in the wider Wellington Region have decreased 0.4% over the past three months. However they have increased 1.8% year on year. Wellington City is down 0.6% over the past three months but is up 2.0% since June last year. Wellington West is down 2.5% over the past three months and 0.1% year on year.
Lower Hutt values have decreased 1.3% in the past three months but are up 1.4% year on year. While values in Upper Hutt increased 0.2% over the past three months and are up 0.5% year on year. Values in the Kapiti Coast District have also increased 1.9% over the past three months and 3.3% year on year.
"QV Wellington Registered Valuer Kerry Buckeridge said, "The region has been fairly quiet, but there has been modest growth in some areas while values in the Hutt seem to be tapering off a bit."
"There is a slight drop in the listings in Wellington which is normal for the winter season and is helping real estate agents to sell some houses which have been on the market for a while so that's positive."
"There is no pressure in the market to drive values along. People are being very careful and cautious with their property decisions. It is noted that average days to sell have now reportedly increased to in excess of 40 which is very high for Wellington."
"In the city however, there are not many good properties under $400,000 which is beyond the means for many first home buyers – especially with the higher deposit requirements imposed by the LVR caps. We are seeing some first home buyers finding ways around the caps, for instance by getting parental guarantees."
Property values in Christchurch City have increased 2.5% over the past three months, 7.0% year on year and 21.1% since the peak of 2007.
Southwest Christchurch has seen the largest increase in values with values there increasing 3.5% over the past three months and 11.0% since June last year. Values in this part of the city are now 29.7% higher than the peak of 2007. Values in the Selwyn District are also up 2.1% over the past three months, 8.8% year on year and are 35.3% above the previous peak.
QV Valuer Daryl Taggart said, "QV Valuer Daryl Taggart said, "While the Christchurch property market has an appearance of quietening down there is still plenty of sales activity."
"Buyers are aware interest rates are increasing and this is influencing purchasing decisions, making people more cautious."
"Properties are still selling at auction but increasingly a higher percentage of properties are being passed in and selling afterwards by negotiation generally on terms more favourable to the buyer."
"There is a lot of development going on, both in residential areas and in the central city. Rents are still high and investors are purchasing rental properties and making the most of the strong demand for rental property."
Property values in Dunedin City have decreased by 0.4% over the past three months, but are up 1.1% year on year and values there are 0.8% above the previous peak of 2007.
Values in Dunedin South have increased 1.6% in the past three months and 1.4% year on year but remain 1.7% below value levels seen in the peak of 2007.
QV Southern Manager Tim Gibson said "The market is fairly slow but steady at present with those slight drops in the index being fairly consistent across most suburbs within the city."
"The levels appear indicative of the general level of market activity and value levels within the residential sector."
"The market is certainly quieter than earlier in the year which is partly due to the winter season and buyers exercising caution. Generally, there remains stronger interest and activity in the mid-higher end of the market."
Provincial centres
Values in the provincial centres are variable with some showing slight increases, others flat and some decreasing.
In the North Island, there has been a downward trend in values in a number of the provincial centres over the past three months including Whangarei District down 1.7%; Rotorua District down 3.1%; Palmerston North down 0.5%; Wanganui down 2.0% and Gisborne down 2.6%.
However, values in Taupo have increased 3.3% since April along with values in Thames-Coromandal District up 1.3%, New Plymouth up 0.7% and the Rangitikei District up 4.7%.
In the South Island regions, Queenstown Lakes District is showing a downward trend with values there down 0.5% over the past three months but Invercargill City is up 2.2% and Marlborough District up 1.4% over the same period.
Jonno Ingerson, Head of Research, CoreLogic
There has been some talk that the LVR speed limits have caused a dramatic drop in sales at the lower end of the market. It seemed to me that in the current rising market the actual number of properties worth less than say $400k would be decreasing, so it should be no surprise that the number of sales would also drop.
Based on our E-Valuer, which gives an estimate of current market value for every property, we can see that a year ago there were 714,000 residential properties nationwide worth less than $400k. Now, with nationwide values rising over the past year, it would stand to reason that the number of properties worth that much would have declined. Sure enough there are now 656,500 of them, a drop of 8% over the past year. So definitely a drop, but nothing spectacular. Looking back a little further and we can see 805,000 properties in 2007 and 973,000 in 2004.
Auckland has been the focus of much of this discussion around the number of low value sales, so let's now look at that. There are currently just over 62,000 houses, flats, and apartments in greater Auckland worth less than $400k. A year ago there were 91,000. That's a drop of 32% in just 12 months. The drop is most significant in North Shore and Waitakere where the number of properties worth less than $400k has dropped 55% in the past year. At that lower end there are currently less than 1,800 properties in North Shore (the vast majority of which are apartments) and 8,500 in Waitakere, whereas last year there were 3,900 and 19,000 respectively. Looking back a little further and at the previous market peak in 2007 and there were nearly nine times as many low end properties in North Shore and four times as many in Waitakere.
When looking at how many sub $400k properties have sold, sure enough Auckland has dropped, with just over 1,000 in the first three months of this year compared to 1,700 a year ago and 4,300 in 2007. In North Shore there were only 45 sales in the first three months of this year, compared to 476 in 2007.
In cases such as this where the base stock is changing a better measure is percentage turnover. That is, the percentage of properties in an area selling during a given time period. In the first quarter of this year 1.7% of low end (< $400k) properties sold in greater Auckland. That's only slightly down from 1.9% a year ago, but well below 3.0% at the previous 2007 market peak. Interestingly, during the 2009 recession turnover dropped to 1.2%.
What does all that mean? Clearly the number of properties worth less than $400k has dropped, and in Auckland quite dramatically. But a corresponding drop in the number of sales does not mean that the bottom end of the market has fallen away, just that there are fewer to buy. It does of course raise affordability questions, but let's leave that for now.
A better way to look at the bottom end of the market is to consider the lowest 10% of properties, independent of arbitrary dollar value ranges. In greater Auckland, the lowest 10% of properties currently have a median value of $430k. A year ago the lowest 10% were worth $375k, in 2007 it was $330k and ten years ago $222k. Just to scare you a bit, the lowest 10% of North Shore properties are currently worth $545k!
To see if the bottom end of the market is in fact less active we looked at what percentage of all sales came from that lowest 10% of properties. In the first three months of this year 11.7% of all sales in greater Auckland were from that lowest 10% of properties. A year ago it was 10.1%, and around the time of the LVR speed limits there was a slight surge up to 12.1% as people rushed to get in before the limits came into force. The picture is similar across parts of Auckland.
So rather than the bottom end of the market plummeting since the LVR speed limits came on, activity has actually stayed stronger than long term average and above the same time last year.

The Monticello Artisan Trail showcases handcrafted items from artisans in Nelson and Albemarle counties. Statistics released Thursday reveal that the trail has had a successful first year.
The trail is a unique pathway that connects over 100 artisans and allows visitors to plan their own trip. Statistics show that over 30 news stories have been released about the trail and that its website averages about 10,000 hits a month.
Organizers say the goal behind the trail is to get visitors to come and purchase items from the artisans. They say the project boosts the economic opportunities not only for the businesses, but for Nelson and Albemarle counties as well.
Exact numbers of the trail's impact on the economy are expected early next year. Many businesses say they have seen an increase in business since the trail's opening.
Hill Top Winery owner Kimberly Pugh said, "We've seen folks that maybe we wouldn't have seen otherwise because they were going to a pottery and they were like, 'Oh there's a winery next door.'"
"Some businesses saw instant sales the minute they put a sign out in front of their studios and their establishments, others are telling us that they'd like to see more traffic," said Sherri Smith with Artisans Center of Virginia.
Other businesses who did not want to speak on camera say that being part of the trail did not bring them more business. Many say they remain optimistic, and hope next year will bring better business for them.
The director of the Monticello Artisan Trail says that many of the businesses that may not have been directly focused on this year, will be targeted in the coming years.

Urbana, Ill. (AP) -- The
University of Illinois
has announced it will have to wait longer than expected to welcome home one of
its icons. And it will be more expensive than planned to get it back.
University officials said Monday the Alma
Mater statue needs more restoration work than originally thought and won't be
back by May as initially planned.
Instead, the 83-year-old bronze statue of
a robed woman flanked by figures celebrating "Learning" and
"Labor" is now expected to return sometime during the 2014 school
The price tag rose from about $100,000 to
$360,000. The school says alumni donations are paying for the work.
The 5-ton statue by artist Lorado Taft
has long stood at Wright and Green streets on campus. The statue was removed
for repairs in August 2012.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

OUR OPINION: Aspen shelter picks 'easy way out'
December 28, 2011 at 6:30 pm in Grand Forks Herald
If ethics was easy, it wouldn't be ethics.
That's a good rule for deciding the right thing to do. And it shows why officials at a homeless shelter in Aspen, Colo., acted selfishly when they facilitated a homeless man's bus trip to North Dakota. Continue Reading

Palm Beach County, Treasure Coast among nation's four weakest housing markets, Builder mag says
- 4:41 pm Thursday, February 26th, 2009 by Jeff Ostrowski
Palm Beach County ranks 72nd and the Treasure Coast places 73rd on Builder magazine's ranking of 75 housing markets.
Here's what Builder says about Palm Beach County:
"Despite its many luxury stores and hotels, not much is going on in West Palm Beach anymore, at least from a home building perspective. Permits here are off about 82 percent from their 2005 peak of 12,491. With 1.27 million residents, West Palm has more than twice the number of people that Daytona Beach does. Yet it produced roughly the same number of permits. The population here has stopped growing, due to a high cost of living and job losses."
And about the Treasure Coast:

Leyland teenager jailed for fracturing trainee paramedic's skull in baseball bat attack
Updated 3:51pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News
A TEENAGER who viciously attacked a trainee paramedic with a baseball bat has been jailed for eight years.
The medic, who had his skull fractured during the assault, was responding to a 999 call in Leyland.
Lewis Westwood, 19, of Hillbrook Road, Leyland, received the custodial sentence at Preston Crown Court Monday after earlier pleading guilty to one count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and one count of criminal damage.
Westwood hit the 26-year-old trainee over the head with a baseball bat on the evening of Sunday, October 13 last year.
An ambulance had responded to reports of a woman having a panic attack at an address on Hillbrook Road.
The trainee was taken to Royal Preston Hospital where he was treated for a fractured skull.
He is still suffering from problems to his hearing four months after the attack.
Westwood also caused damage to the window of a house during the incident, receiving a twenty-eight day prison sentence, to run concurrently.
Derek Cartwright is North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust director of operations.
He said: "The trust is delighted with this sentence and hopes it sends out a clear message that if you assault an ambulance crew, you face the real possibility of going to prison.
"I was absolutely appalled at this violent attack which resulted in a member of staff, requiring hospital treatment and being unable to do his job helping members of the community.
"Violence against ambulance crews will not be tolerated and we work closely with the police to ensure that the people responsible are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
"It is a sad fact that we are becoming almost used to hearing of our staff being either verbally or physically assaulted but this was one of the worst cases I have come across in my 30 years' service."
DC Andrew Woodward from Leyland CID said: "This was a very serious assault on a paramedic who was simply trying to do his job. "Public servants trying to help others should never be subjected to this type of behaviour – they should not be in fear of doing their job.
"The victim was helpless and was struck with the baseball bat without warning. It has deeply affected him as well as the other paramedic who was in attendance at the time of the attack.
"I hope that this sentencing acts as a stark reminder that this sort of behaviour is simply unacceptable."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I've been seeing a few similar styled typefaces lately. They seem to share a similar aesthetic of the single story 'a' and usually have a slight awkward quality to them. Do you think most of these are made by the designers or are there typefaces like this out there?
A few I know that are similar are Neuzeit Grotesk, Planeta, of course Futura
I really like the way the 'e' terminal is cut almost awkardly short in the top example.
You might like NBGrotesk too.
I found this in an old training book for sign painters:
I think it was simply called »Blockschrift«.
Looks very much like some of the Berlin subway signs — which I guess makes sense.
Those are great. I really like the specimen you posted Jens. Gives some helpful insight into creating my own version at some point. Seems most of these typefaces have a German origin.

Melbourne - The world's biggest dinosaur park, dubbed Palmersauria, will roar to life sooner than expected on the Sunshine Coast in South East Queensland, Australia.
The dream of eccentric mining billionaire Clive Palmer, the attraction is coming together in the grounds of the Palmer Coolum Resort.
It features more than 150 replica animatronic prehistoric creatures, imported from China, News.com.au reported.
Resort general manager Bill Schoch said that while an official name had not been settled on, there was little doubt "Palmer†would be in the title, building on a brand that already included Palmer Resort, Palmer Golf, Palmer Grill and Palmer Motorama vintage car museum.
All of the creatures can make sounds and some will move, such as "Jeff†the resort's towering T. rex.
Airborne dinosaurs will swoop down on a flying fox, while a canopy walk will provide a unique perspective.
"There is some paperwork to finalise with council, but we will now be able to get it up and going much quicker than previously thought. I would say within six months to be safe, but it should be sooner,†Schoch said.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – The FTC is available at www.ftc.gov or (888) 382-1222.
Due to the Target card breech, it is anticipated there will be an increase in phishing scams. Phishing refers to criminal activity that attempts to fraudulently obtain sensitive information, such as social security number, driver's license, credit card information, or bank account information. Sometimes a scam artist will first send a benign email and then follow that up with a phishing email that usually contains a malicious link. Cyber-criminals have typically used emails to launch this type of attack, but with the widespread use of social media networks and smartphones with internet access, the types of attacks are multiplying.

Thanks to Seton Hall who asked me if the cap will rise significantly, i suspected it might but wasn't positive. After running the numbers, it is unclear if the cap will rise too much before 2014 when TV network deals are re-worked. All 4 networks, Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN will be re-negotiated or will jump for 2014
Right now many teams are scrambling to work under the new CBA and the relatively low salary cap of $120.375mm (considering in 2009 the cap was $128mm and last year it was uncapped) Technically you are allowed to "borrow" $3mm from a future year cap and $3.5mm can be used to protect veterans with more than 5 years experience. So in essence the real cap is $126.375.
Right now everyone is probably thinking that nnamdi and santonio contracts will be crushing to their respective team's cap space. Teams may have problems this year and next but after that the cap should rise pretty quickly. Let's say this year that Dallas inks a deal for naming rights of $30mm/year, 40% goes to the players ($12mm total and each team's cap increases by $375,000). giants/jets should also see a lot of local revenue increases with their new stadium in it's 2nd year. The salary cap should be no less than $130mm and maybe $135mm as the TV contracts have built in escalators.
The salary cap starting in 2012 will be computed based on certain percentages of the revenue streams. It works like this: 55% of TV broadcast rights, 45% of things like NFL Merchandise, NFL Network, Red Zone, and Sunday Ticket, and 40% are added to calculate the cap. The only money taken out of the cap seems to be a small credit for new stadiums. The league guarantees 47% and no more than 48.5% of the total revenue to the players. If we look at the TV contracts players get 55%, in 2014 ESPN will jump to $1.8-1.9b per year with the inclusion of moblie & internet rights. All tv contracts have been extended thru 2013 but the networks especially Fox, CBS & NBC should probably be no less than a 50% increase and possibly a 100% jump.
Fox / $4.27B / $712.5M / 2006-2011
In 2014 overall TV revenue should jump sharply and of course the salary cap should also rise significantly. Let's take a look at this year and see if we can't project it out. PLEASE NOTE: it is impossible to calculate 100% accurately b/c we do not know the true revenue breakdowns as the owners (except GB) do not release their financials. However, for our purposes, this analysis should do fine and it should be pretty close.
Last year total league revenue was $9.3b, we know the broadcast TV listed above totalled $3.035b. Before doing this analysis I had assumed this year's salary cap was a negotiated number, however, after running the numbers it fits well into last year's revenue numbers:
|revenue (billions)
|revenue stream
|player %
|cap $ by stream
|broadcast tv (espn, fox, cbs, nbc)
|tickets (avg $55mm/team * 32 teams)
|direct tv, nfl network, etc.
|local (luxury boxes, hot dogs, programs, naming rights)
|merchandise (avg $32.5mm * 32)
Ok, so my estimate of $4.387b based upon the new CBA makes sense if you add 5% for revenue increases, you get to $143.944mm/team salary & benes which is only slightly off from the $142.4mm ($120.375 cap / $22.025 benefits) for this year. Now if we look at the numbers for 2014 season you can project the new salary cap based on the following % increases for TV (i also added 18% revenue increase (6%/yr) for all other revenue streams >> this is very conservative based on NFL historical revenue increases). It is my opinion that the three TV revenue deals go up by at least 50% and possibly 100%, without pro football the networks are SOL, they have to have football even if it is a loss leader. Take a look at the estimated salary cap in 2014:
|2014 TV revenue increase
|total player comp
|2014 cap
These numbers are probably too low as the TV revenue number i am starting with of $3.035b for 2011 may be closer to $4b. But it doesn't really matter, at the start of 2014 the salary cap will almost certainly be $160-175mm and possibly more. How we get there from here is the key question? Will the cap only be $128mm next year and $135mm in 2013 then jump by $25-35mm in one year? There are many variables such as the economy and strength of stadium naming rights. Either way, 2014 is probably the year to be a FA.
NFL is the only show that isn't TIVOed like crazy and i think the league is setting up for a big payday for 2014 season. If teams can slide under the cap for the next two years, cap will be less of an issue starting in 2014. Of course if you take on huge contracts in 2014 b/c the TV revenue will be a one-time increase.
One other thing about this new CBA, leaguewide the teams must spend 99% of the salary cap during the next two years. So if my thinking is right and without the actual CBA language, some teams like Tampa Bay will not spend 99% of $120.375mm, instead they will wait until the last minute, calculate how much over other teams are and then spend the bare minimum to bring the league wide average up to 99%.
If there is a big jump in TV revenue as is expected, players will be sitting pretty and this will be a great CBA for them to work under. Also, because players only get 40% of local revenue, low revenue teams will see some relief from the cap going up because Jerry Jones signed Apple or Google to pay $100mm/yr naming rights. Although Apple or Google Stadium just doesn't sound right. Now if a team moves to LA and builds a stadium in the shape of a glass apple Steve Jobs will jump all over that:)
Hope this analysis makes sense and is as accurate as possible.

WARREN -- As state investigators began looking into potentially criminal actions of city one police officer, another is being scrutinized for allowing a suspect to carry a gun into a cruiser.
Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation representatives were at the Warren Police Department Tuesday after officially launching a criminal investigation centered around veteran police officer Reuben Shaw.
Shaw, who is accused of illegally towing a car to his private property without the owner's permission, was placed on paid administrative leave last week.
Lt. Dan Mason of the Warren City Police Department's Internal Affairs Division said the investigation into Shaw's activities are in BCI's hands. He said Warren city could initiate its own internal investigation, but the two cannot overlap.
Meanwhile, Mason confirmed his department is looking into how a suspect was able to carry a gun into a police cruiser undetected in a burglary investigation early Sunday.
Mason said the officers involved could be reprimanded. However, it appears the incident resulted from a tactical error and not negligence, he said.
Mason said department policy is for all suspects to be patted down before they go into a cruiser for transport and as they are being transferred from one cruiser to another. A Warren police report indicates one of the officers failed to pat down the suspect.

Reading post 295812 in main thread
Greatest military units of all time
February 25th, 2007
One book lists the following as being outstanding in their field at their point in history (I cannot remember the source. I may also be missing one group in ancient history.
English Longbowmen
Sarotoga Sharpshooters
U boat crews of WW1 (not WW2)
SS Panzer units WW2
The U boats of WW1 were far nearer at bringing Britain to its knees than in WW2, if these were given priority earlier on they may well have been successful
A few of my own suggestions, which mainly refer to entire races, or a section of the military structure rather than a unit
Spartans (society and training)
Roman Infantry (command and discipline)
Mongolian horsemen (tactics, horsemenship combined with archery skills, simple logistics)
Royal Navy during Napoleonic wars (experience, seamanship)
I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

There has been alot of buzz lately about what the hiring of a defensive coordinator from a '3-4' team as our head coach means for our base 4-3 defense. I don't think we will know for sure for a while what Pagano will do but lets just assume he will mold our defense after the Baltimore defense. Before I try and explain their system, and I'm no expert, you should check out a couple of really good SB nation articles about the Raven's defense and the 3-4 in general:
Buffalo Rumblings #2
As the author said in the Baltimore Beat Down article, to explain the hybrid 3-4 they run would take pages upon pages but I'll try to very quickly and crudely explain it. It is very similar to a conventional 3-4 as it will show a nose tackle flanked by two big and preferably long defensive ends to play over the tackles (these are also sometimes referred to as DT/DE as they are a sort of hybrid position). Also just like other 3-4 defenses two middle linebackers set up behind the tackles but how the outside linebackers play is the difference. The right side (outisde of the left tackle) outside linebacker is called a rush linebacker as that player primarily rushes and is not often asked to fall into coverage. The left outside linebacker will still rush the passer but is asked to do more in coverage. In Baltimore's current defense Terrell Suggs is is the rush linebacker and Jarret Johnson is the strongside outside linebacker. Suggs lines up often as a down defensive end and their 3-4 defense ends up more like our 4-3 than a conventional PIT or GB 3-4 outside linebacker.
Their defense also can quickly transform and stick in a four man front should their opponent need to pass often. Just pull the nose tackle and send in the nickel corner and instantly you have a 4-3 nickel defense.
After the break I will attempt to see how we can add our current pieces, free agents and draft choices to mold our defense to this scheme.
I will go through position by position and explain our options in filling that spot whether its from 'roster', 'draft', or 'free agency'. I am working under the assumption that Manning, Wayne, Saturday etc wont be back so we will have cap room for at least a few impact signings.
Nose Tackle:
Roster: There aren't really any options here for a 1-tech nose on our roster. Antonio Johnson is roughly 310 but thats about 20-40 pounds too light for your optimal nose. Nevis and Moala are both around 300 but thats also not good enough.
FA: This is actually a surprisingly good option. The free agent NT that should interest us in order of how much they should cost are Antonio Garay SD, Sione Pouha NYJ, Paul Soliai MIA, Aubreyu Franklin NO, Kelly Gregg KC, and Brandon McKinney BAL. Soliai, Garay and Pouha will be hard to get our hands on but if we can we definitely should try with Soliai being my first choice. Miami is rumored to be moving to a 4-3 so we should go hard after Soliai. Franklin is an interesting case as he was a good NT in the SF 3-4 then signed a one year deal in NO to play inside in a 4-3. Maybe he would be tempted to come back and play NT if we offered him a starting gig. Gregg is getting up there (35) but might have a few years left as a bridge and mentor should we draft a young NT. McKinney was a backup in Pagano's defense last year and he may be temped to leave with the promise of more playing time.
Draft: Just like every year NT is a sparse position in the draft. Only three guys could probably start at NT next year as rookies. The first two are Dontari Poe/Memphis and Alameda Ta'amu/Washington. Both of these guys could be gone by our 32nd pick but if they are we should pick them up. However if they are gone at #32 or we get a better value at another position we could pick up Josh Chapman/Alabama at #61. I don't feel like we have to get a NT in the draft due to their availability in FA but it wouldn't hurt.
Prediction: Paul Soliai 6-4 355 and Brandon McKinney 6-2 350
Defensive Tackle / Defensive End:
Roster: 3-4 DEs are similar enough to 4-3 DT that a few of our guys should make the conversion. In general you want a taller linemen with long arms to hold off the tackle and maintain his two gaps. At 6-4 and 6-3, Moala and Johnson are both tall enough to play the 5-tech 3-4 end and can obviously play DT when reverted to a four man front. However they don't have the pass rushing ability to play 4-3 DE so they will need to stay over the left side of the offense as RDEs. This way they will play RDE in the 3-4 and then DT when sliding over to give the 4-3 look. The LDE however will need to be able to function as both a 5-tech over the tackle and as a rush end outside the tackle. This is because when the rush linebacker moves in on the shoulder of the left tackle the line shifts over and the LDE moves to the outside of the right tackle - becoming a 4-3 DE in effect. Drake Nevis may not be the prototype here but I think he has enough penetrating ability to be effective. Beyond him we don't really have anyone on the roster to play the LDE position. Mathews and Ogbu could fit either but aren't good enough really to try and fit them in.
FA: There are a ton of options here to play the LDE position or RDE and really too many to name. To focus on some names we would be familiar with, Jamaal Anderson and Tyler Brayton are your sort of prototypical LDE as they are long (both 6-6) and big enough (~280-290 each) to hold up in 5-tech but have the pass rush to play the 4-3 DE role. Anderson was better than Brayton last year and a bit better fit as LDE so I think I'd keep him around. Another interesting name here is Cory Redding who played last year under Pagano. He isn't a superstar but is a solid player and could be lured to follow his coach. Calais Campbell is the star FA DT/DE but I don't think we should/could spend the resources to go get him. Another guy we could go after and put money on like Soliai is Derek Landri who played for Grigson in Philly but I think he stays there.
Draft: Just like free agency there are a ton of options to fill the DT/DE spot through the draft and again too many to name. Some of the big names like Michael Brockers/LSU and Devon Still/Penn St will be gone by #32 but some other guys like Fletcher Cox/Mississippi State, Jared Crick/Nebraska, Jerel Worthy/Michigan St. and a few others could be available and good value at #32. I wouldn't fault Grigson for taking one of those guys there but I feel like we need to get some help for Luck at that pick in the form of a WR/TE/OL or a CB, whatever is the best value, and then take a DT/DE in the third with our #61 pick. One guy who should be available and I really like in this scheme is Derek Wolfe/Cinncinatti. He is a big tall kid with a nonstop motor and will be able to disrupt and hold the line as a RDE.
Prediction: RDE - Fili Moala 6-4 300, Antonio Johnson 6-3 310, Derek Wolfe 6-5 300; LDE - Cory Redding 6-4 298, Drake Nevis 6-1 294, Jamaal Anderson 6-6 290
Outside Linebacker / Rush Linebacker:
Roster: I think some people may disagree with me on this but I feel that almost all the tools needed for this position are already on the roster. Just look at the the comparables for our guys on the Ravens: Suggs 6-3 260 and Kruger 6-4 268 compare to Freeney 6-1 268 at rush linebacker while Johnson 6-3 265 and Kindle 6-3 250 compare to Mathis 6-2 245 and Hughes 6-2 255 at strongside outside linebacker. If anything our guys are a little smaller and more mobile as linebackers than their Ravens counterparts. Freeney gets to stay in a primary weakside rush position and will often be lined up with his hand on the ground rushing the passer off of the left tackle's shoulder sprinkling in some coverage dropbacks. Mathis gets his wish and will play the SOLB falling back in coverage and blitzing off the edge. Hughes should also do much better in this role than a down 4-3 edge rusher.
FA: There are options in free agency for outside linbackers but I don't think any are realistic or worthwhile. Jarret Johnson is I guess conceivable and would be an option should Mathis leave but I think it might be best not to even try. Other guys out there wouldn't really be an upgrade over what we have in house now.
Draft: This year's draft does not have an abundance of edge rushers and actually is a weakness of this class. With so many teams needing edge rushers its doubtful we will find value in the early rounds and would have to reach. We could take a mid round developmental type like Brandon Lindsay/Pitt to sit behind Freeney as a rush linebacker and hopefully become a starter someday.
Prediction: Rush Linebacker- Dwight Freeney 6-1 268, Brandon Lindsey 6-2 250; Strongside Outside Linebacker- Robert Mathis 6-2 245, Jerry Hughes 6-2 255
Inside Linebacker:
Roster: Like the outside linebacker position we should be able to fill the inside primarily with guys already on the roster. Angerer is an obvious starter at strongside inside linebacker and Brackett if healthy is better suited for the weakside inside linebacker spot. If Brackett is not healthy and cut then Conner can move into the WILB spot and even if he is healhy Conner should still get plenty of reps at WILB and WILL linebacker in 4-3 looks. Having all three of these guys on the roster gives the flexibility to switch with one sub to a 4-3 by pulling the NT, putting the OLB on the line and sending in Conner to play WILL. We have added a few flier free agents already and they might stick as that fourth ILB.
FA: Again, like the OLB position, there are free agents who could help us but considering the other needs on the team we should only be looking for a heavy, run-stopping, backup caliber MILB.
Draft: We should be looking to invest only a late round pick in an ILB through the draft. Someone like Noah Keller/Ohio 6-1 245, who is a instinctual and sound tackler but needs to play in a 'phone booth', could fit that bill.
Prediction: SILB- Pat Angerer 6-0 235, Noah Keller 6-1 245; WILB- Gary Brackett 5-11 235, Kavell Conner 6-0 242
When you add up my predicted front seven you get something that looks like this as a starting lineup:
Rush LB: Dwight Freeney
RDE: Fili Moala
NT: Paul Soliai
LDE: Cory Redding
SOLB: Robert Mathis
SILB: Pat Angerer
WILB: Gary Brackett/Kavell Conner
In my opinion we can build a very good hybrid 3-4 defense in one offseason without an excessive amount of resources consumed. It will take careful planning by people much smarter than I and outstanding coaching that Coach Pagano can supply, but I believe it is possible. Do you agree?

Fall book season boasts big names, diverse slate, say Canadian publishers
Film Review: 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" dives back into a noir abyss
A group of 11 people, including soon-to-be pensioners representing the Waterloo Regional Labour Council and Canadian Auto Workers, protested at Cambridge MP Gary Goodyear's constituency office yesterday afternoon, demanding the federal government backtrack on any plan to reduce old age benefits.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently hinted that changes need to be made to Old Age Security in order to sustain benefits for future generations. Many believe that will mean pushing eligibility from the current age of 65 up to 67.
"He dropped a bomb without any details," said Mike Devine, a semi-retired 57 year old and former employee of Budd Canada.
Les Szeles, 59, also a former Budd employee, said that he was forced to retire and lost all his health benefits when the company went bankrupt and a foreign multi-national took over. Now he's concerned about his old age pension.
"I expected to have benefits for the rest of my life," he said.
Devine believes the federal government is giving big corporations billions of dollars in tax cuts and is planning to do it on the backs of seniors and pensioners. He said government members should consider their own pensions first.
The local labour council maintains that the sustainability of public pensions isn't as fragile as the Harper government is making it out to be and is calling for increases in Canadian Pension Plan contributions instead.
Thursday's protest coincided with others at the constituency offices of Conservative MPs Peter Baird, Harold Albrecht and Steven Woodworth in Waterloo Region, and others across Ontario.
Employees at Goodyear's office said that the local MP was in the House of Commons yesterday. However, during a local event last week, Minister of State (Seniors) Alice Wong told a crowd of seniors that those already receiving benefits or "retiring soon" wouldn't be affected by changes to Old Age Security and said that people would be notified of changes "way ahead of time" so they can prepare.
"If we do nothing, then your children and grandchildren will ultimately not have those benefits," Goodyear said during last week's event.

I keep hearing about the need for a veteran presence on the Wolves roster. I agree that the need is there and wondered about the age and experience of the current roster. Some interesting things came to light when I sorted the roster by age. Mostly, it created more questions for me, and not many answers.
I didn't realize that Ridnour is 30 with 8 years experience in the league. Somehow most people including me don't think of Luke as that veteran presence the Wolves need. What is it about Luke that eliminates him from that leader position?
Anthony Tolliver is 26 and seems like he could be a respected elder in the locker room in the mode of Sam Mitchell. Why hasn't this happened?
Obviously, Darko is not seen as a leader even though he is 26 and has 8 years in the league.
Martell Webster has 6 years in the league but is on 24. Can a leader be long on experience but young of age? If so, why not Martell?
Even though Love is only 22 soon to be 23, he has 3 years in the league and a reputation as a top player who plays hard. Can he be the leader and if so, why has it not happened yet?
Brad Miller is 35 with 12 years in the league. Some national "experts" believe he would be an excellent leader on the Wolves roster. I wonder how much this current roster would care what Brad Miller says or thinks.

Okay, I admit that I was SO excited about my Cub purchase that I never took the time to examine the entire package! When I got my Cub home I ran it for an hour or so then noticed it started stalling. Come to find out the shade tree guy that got it running and sold it to me had hooked up a 12 volt coil and battery by passing the old 6 volt system.
Now that I've seen the error of his ways! I'm stuck trying to figure out exactly where to start putting it back right, while wondering what was wrong with the original 6 volt positive ground system that he rigged it with the 12 volt system.
Some of you have offered advise in correcting the 6 volt PG system but do not realize what I have, or in my case, have not to work with!
Where do I start? I sure like my little 49 Cub but not sitting still!

We End LiberatedThere is no permanent Hell, there is no permanent Heaven. Therefore, the suffering that we sense during this transition of life is not a permanent condition that we need to be afraid of. It's not where we're going to end up. We end liberated from the suffering either by death, or in life, by waking up to the nature of our situation and not clinging and grasping, screaming and being angry, resentful, irritable or insulted by our existence.Daily Dharma for August 27, 2014
Forget LanguageDaily Dharma for August 28, 2014
Far from Dharma
At this moment in human history, the unrestrained extraction and burning of fossil fuels has brought us, in the industrialized nations, to the point where we are contaminating and pillaging the Earth to such an extreme that we are endangering all life on this planet. Nothing could be further from the intention and practice of dharma.Daily Dharma for August 29, 2014
Dharmic Darwinism
The Buddha intuited some type of evolutionary process that creates our bodies, and his essential point is that they are neither formed nor owned by us. We now have evidence that our bodies arise from the forces and elements that make up the entire universe, through a complex chain of interdependent events. Internalizing this understanding can help liberate us from the powerful sense of ownership and attachment we have to the body.Daily Dharma for August 30, 2014

The Buddha's SmileThe most difficult Buddhist idea to explain, I've found, is not interdependent arising or nonself, challenging though these are, but equanimity. How is it that one can neither like nor not like something without being emotionally detached or indifferent? Our sense of identity is so bound up with our desires that to many people the thought of being without preferences for one thing or another is tantamount to being stripped of the very quality that makes us human. Nonattachment is just so dry. Give me the pot-bellied laughing Buddha any day (who, of course, is not a Buddha at all but a Chinese folk deity), rather than the austere figure presiding over our meditation halls with barely a hint of a smile on his face.

May I Be HappyWalking along the Rhine River during my lunch break from teaching yoga in Basel, Switzerland, I felt mellow and full of gratitude to have such a wonderful job opportunity. Then my phone started to vibrate. Instantly my mood shifted, and a powerful sense of urgency took hold of me. It was like a Rube Goldberg chain reaction—I was balancing a cappuccino in one hand, fighting an uncooperative purse zipper with the other, trying to keep my glasses on my nose, and worrying that someone was calling from my mother's nursing home.

A Gray MatterParticipants in the dialogue between science and Buddhism have long modeled their discussion primarily on the idea of convergence, the premise that the most significant comparisons are those that reveal common ground. This is by no means the only model for comparative discussion, and I would argue that in the case of Buddhism and science it is deeply flawed. Instead, another model—one based on mutual challenge, in which the two sides are able to shed light on each other precisely because of their differences—offers what I see as a more potentially fruitful alternative.

The Scientific BuddhaAccording to Buddhist doctrine, there can be only one buddha for each historical age. A new buddha appears in the world only when the teachings of the previous buddha have been completely forgotten, with no remnant—a text, a statue, the ruins of a pagoda, or even a reference in a dictionary—remaining. Because the teachings of Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha—that is, our Buddha—remain present in the world, we have no need for a new buddha. But in the 19th century, a new buddha suddenly appeared in the world, a buddha who is not mentioned in any of the prophecies. What he taught is said to be compatible with modern science, and so I call him the Scientific Buddha. Today, the Scientific Buddha is often mistaken for Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha, the real Buddha. But they are not the same. And this case of mistaken identity has particular consequences for those who seek to understand and practice the teachings of Gautama Buddha. More »

The Last GiftAjahn Chah recorded the following talk at the request of one of his students, whose mother was on her deathbed. The student had expected no more than a few words for his mother, but instead Ajahn Chah offered an extended message of consolation, encouragement, and meditation instruction for the mother and the whole family. Now, Grandma, set your heart on listening respectfully to the dhamma, which is the teaching of the Buddha. While I'm teaching you the dhamma, be as attentive as if the Buddha himself were sitting right in front of you. Close your eyes and set your heart on making your mind one. Bring the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha into your heart as a way of showing the Buddha respect. More »

Diamond-like ResolveWhen I entered my first three-year retreat in France, in 1991, the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, had been gone for ten years already, and speculation about how the next Karmapa would manifest and why the recognition process was taking so long was a common topic within our lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Karmapas are the supreme heads of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, and indeed the tradition of Buddhist lineages headed by reincarnate bodhisattvas formally began in the 13th century with the Karmapa line.

I'm having a spectacularly bad hair day today. It needs cutting. It needs washing. Want to see it? Go to bit.ly/4rrdvf.
That's my hair, taken just after I typed that question mark a couple of sentences back. And that, my friends, is context. That is metadata. And that, despite their gorgeous analogue loveliness, is what magazines like this one lack (although not now it's on the website! -Ed). I'm mentioning this because of something hugely astute enbloggened (at benhammersley.com) by our saintly editor-at-large: Mr Ben Hammersley.
One of the things Ben discusses is the way magazine-making fails to harness the metadata that gets spewed off by the digital creative process. This piece I'm writing now, for instance, is being typed into a Word document but will get pasted as text into an email by me tonight, then re-pasted into the InDesign software Wired uses -- stripped of any associated data.

When the Hubble Space Telescope needs servicing, spanners from

The instruments, which view distant ultraviolet to infrared

Hubble crew aids-and-tools team. "All of these tools had to be
