Amazon is looking to the future with plans to use "octocopter" mini-drones to fly small packages to consumers in just 30 minutes, CEO Jeff Bezos revealed Sunday.
The U.S. retail giant's ambitious project still requires additional safety testing and federal approval, but Bezos estimated that Amazon "Prime Air" would be up and running within four to five years.
A demo video posted on the company website showed the tiny robotic devices picking up packages in small yellow buckets from Amazon's fulfillment centers and then whizzing through the air to deliver them to customers just 30 minutes after they made their purchase on Amazon.com.

I wonder how much Bezos had to pay 60 Minutes and Charlie Rose for that Amazon infomercial. Not a single critical or probing question.
"We can do half-hour delivery . . . and we can carry objects, we think, up to five pounds, which covers 86 percent of the items that we deliver."
The mini-drones are powered by electric motors and could cover areas within a 10-mile radius of fulfillment centers, thus covering a significant portion of the population in urban areas.

ICYMI: Amazon Unveils Flying Delivery Drones on '60 Minutes' http://t.co/1M3D7uqm1l via @mashable pic.twitter.com/9lAWCvkSvi
They operate autonomously and drop the items at the target locations thanks to GPS coordinates transmitted to them.
"It's very green, it's better than driving trucks around," said Bezos.
Amazon said the octocopters would be "ready to enter commercial operations as soon as the necessary regulations are in place," noting that the Federal Aviation Administration was actively working on rules for unmanned aerial vehicles.
It projected a more optimistic timeline than Bezos himself for the project to be activated, saying the FAA's rules could be in place as early as 2015 and that Amazon Prime Air would be ready at that time.
Bezos hinted that part of the motivation behind the mini-drones was to make sure Amazon remains on the cutting edge of the retail industry.
"Companies have short life spans . . . And Amazon will be disrupted one day," he said.
"I would love for it to be after I'm dead."

The two bomb blasts in Boston,that killed at least three people besides leaving over 130 injured, are being approached as a terrorist attack by the US authorities, a White House official has said.
"Any event with multiple explosive devices, as this appears to be, is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror," the official said on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorised to speak to the press.
"However, we don't yet know who carried out the attack and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic," he added.
President Barack Obama, however, did not say anything on whether the blasts were an act of terror. "We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this," Obama said.
While Obama refrained from declaring it as a terrorist attack, several lawmakers were quick to pronounce it that way.
"My understanding is that it's a terrorist incident," Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee told reporters.
"In my judgement, this has all the hallmarks of an act of terrorism, but we do not know for sure who did it," the House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said.
"I am in touch with local authorities in Boston as well as federal authorities who have launched an investigation into this malicious attack and I am certain that whoever is responsible will be held accountable," said McCaul.
"My sympathies go out to victims of the terrorist attack in Boston as well as to their families. Though it remains unclear who is responsible, this attack is yet another stark reminder that we must remain vigilant in the face of continuing terrorist threats," said Ed Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The House Democratic Whip Steny H Hoyer also termed the blasts as an act of terror. "As the evidence mounts that this was a terrorist attack, our intelligence and law enforcement agencies must do whatever is necessary to find and interrogate those responsible so we can prevent similar attacks," said Senator Saxby Chambliss, Vice Chairman of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Senators Susan Collins, and Angus King said "initial news reports that multiple improvised explosive devices may have been involved at this high-profile national event bear the hallmarks of a terrorist attack."
Both are members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.The last two major terrorist attacks on US soil were claimed by the outfits within 72 hours. The 2010 Times Square attack by Tehrik-i Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was claimed in less then 24 hours in a video while the Christmas Delta attack occurred in 2009 by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was claimed in 72 hours in a written statement.
Experts said the claim of responsibility for this attack could be delivered in video, written or audio form and may be distributed broadly or direct to the media.The current location of the attacker(s) and the overall plan, if involving follow-on attacks, may impact the timing of a claim.

Congress Pondering Bill That Could Make Marijuana Legal
Marijuana legalization has two pretty high-profile friends in Congress.
Republican Ron Paul of Texas and Democrat Barney Frank of Massachusetts are co-sponsoring a bill that would put an end to the federal criminalization of marijuana.
If passed, the bill would allow the states to "legalize, regulate, tax and control marijuana without federal interference."
Here is why this is relevant: medical marijuana is legal in California. Yet, currently, the federal government can and occasionally still does raid marijuana growers in that state — and also maintains the power to prosecute these growers in federal courts.
Early this month, the Global Commission on Drug Policy put out a report recommending that governments begin decriminalizing drugs, in particular marijuana.

Bill passes with more than $72M in cash for capital projects
Published: January 14,2013
Tags: appropriation, biull, budget, capital projects, construction, funding, government, law, lawmaker, leghislature, legislation, legislative, legislator, state, tax, taxpayer
JACKSON — Mississippi would spend $72.6 million in cash on various capital projects under a bill approved Friday by the state House.
The move appears to concede to Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves' wish that Mississippi begin paying for some needs out of its ongoing budget instead of borrowing through bonds.
"Lt. Gov. Reeves is encouraged by the House agreeing with the Senate's position that many of the expenses that have been bonded in the past should be paid for out of the annual appropriation," said Laura Hipp, spokeswoman for the Republican lieutenant governor.
Reeves' desire to cut borrowing was the major factor in the failure of the House and Senate to agree on a bond bill in 2012. That failure meant no cash to help politically sensitive constituencies, including county governments and volunteer fire departments. It also contributed to the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University imposing additional fees on their students starting this fall to pay for building construction and renovation.
From 1996 to 2011, lawmakers authorized some borrowing every year. The average amount authorized was $345 million, ranging from a low of $28 million in 2008 to a high of $857 million in 2010.
Last year, Reeves wanted to borrow $73 million and pay $50 million for various projects. House members wanted to borrow substantially more.
House Bill 22, which passed the House 118-0 Friday, would begin spending the money upon final legislative passage and running through the end of the 2014 budget year. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, told House members he still contemplated passing a bond bill.
Friday's bill includes:
— $20 million for county bridge replacement.
— $11 million to replace roofs at universities.
— $1 million to waterproof Jackson State University's administration tower.
— $5 million to replace roofs at community colleges.
— $4 million to replace roofs at the Department of Mental Health
— $5 million to replace roofs on other state buildings.
— $3 million for grants for rural fire trucks.
The bill includes $22 million to pay vendors who are creating MAGIC, a new accounting software program for state government. Frierson said that much of the massive project, which has been ongoing since 2010, is due at the end of February.
The measure also contains $1.6 million for the proposed Grammy music museum in Cleveland. Bryant recently delivered a $1 million check to the museum, but only after blocking $3 million that Frierson and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, tried to steer to the museum last summer.

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Microsoft unwittingly let an online security certificate expire Friday, triggering a worldwide outage in an online service that stores data for a wide range of business customers.
Microsoft lapse cause outages in Azure service
The sloppy housekeeping represents an embarrassing lapse for Microsoft Corp. as the software maker tries to bring in more revenue from the storage service, which is called Azure.
The expired certificate is needed to properly run online services such as Azure which use an "https" protocol to block unauthorized users from accessing information.
Microsoft's failure to renew the security certificate apparently caused the Azure service to go down shortly before 4 p.m. EST Friday. The breakdown prevented Azure customers from accessing files kept in Microsoft's data centers.
The service still hadn't been fully restored more than four hours later, according to a post on Microsoft's website.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this causes our customers," Microsoft said.
Azure's failure illuminates the pitfalls of storing important information in remote data centers. Online storage, often called "cloud computing," is growing in appeal because it allows workers to pull up data, wherever they are, to an Internet-connected device.
Cloud computing's convenience can turn into a major aggravation when a problem crops up like the one that tripped up Microsoft Friday.

City Arts Center, a longtime fixture at State Fair Park, will become known as the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center, officials announced this week.
The new brand was developed following a six-month project designed to increase Oklahoma Contemporary's profile as a cultural destination. The center will move to a new building, which is scheduled for completion in 2016.
The Oklahoma Contemporary Art Center will focus on connecting the community with contemporary art, connecting art with the individual and showcasing the conventional alongside the unfamiliar, officials said.
"Our ambition is to create an art center where everyone can engage with art on their own terms, one where those who want to learn and create are given the tools and opportunities to do so at their own pace," Executive Director Mary Ann Prior said.
"The launch of the Oklahoma Contemporary brand is a key part of our vision to form creative connections within our community, and we are looking forward to an exciting time ahead, launching new exhibitions, education initiatives and even a new building under our innovative brand."
Founded in 1989 by businessman and philanthropist Christian Keesee and Kirkpatrick Foundation Director Marilyn Myers, Oklahoma Contemporary offers free admission to contemporary arts exhibitions and also offers youth art camps, adult art classes and workshops, lectures and independent film screenings.
For more information, call 951-0000 or go to www.oklahomacontemporary.org.

The stoical swimmers who always take the plunge
Today, as on every other day of the year, the heroic members of Brighton Swimming Club will pit themselves against the elements. Why do they do it? By Chris Arnot
Monday 27 December 1999
It is a nippy but bright December morning and a low sun is spilling gold on the comparatively calm surface of the English Channel. The thermometer in the doorway of the changing room is registering just over 44F or 8C.
John Ottaway, the chairman of Brighton Swimming Club, is not going to let "a bit of a cough" put him off his daily dip. He is one of the "hardcore" half a dozen or so members who turn up at 11.30 every morning, whatever the season. Most are either retired or able to work flexible hours. Every year they are joined by another 25 or so for whom Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a bracing plunge into the icy waves. "During the rest of the year we're rather confined to weekends because of work commitments," says the club secretary, Avon Spry.
She's one of eight women members who swim in the sea all the year round. There are no women this morning.
The men strip off and by the time they have emerged from the bunker and picked their way across the stones, Mr Sawyer's pink swimming cap is just about visible in the middle-distance. His friend, Henry Law, is bringing up the rear. Mr Law and Mr Sawyers share the same age, 59, and both suffer from debilitating back pain.
Mr Sawyers's eagerness to be first in the water is a reflection of the relief he finds in an environment that would be purgatory to most of us. "Swimming in the sea is the only circumstance left to me where the pain is not intrusive," he told me before taking the plunge. "I'm keeping my mind so occupied with the strength of the current and the height of the waves that I have no room to acknowledge that I'm in pain. Like every regular sea-swimmer, I have an awareness of being caught up in the natural rhythms of the world."
A cultural historian, Mr Sawyers has traced the origins of the swimming club back to 1858. His own great-great-grandfather was among a small body of traders from North Street who took lessons from a one-legged merchant seaman called Captain Camp. But sea-bathing in Brighton goes back to the previous century when it was pioneered as a "cure" by one Dr Richard Russell. Writers and philosophers of the day thought the benefits could be more than simply physical.
More than 200 years on and the writer Brian Behan, brother of Brendan, has offered a rather less elevated explanation for his habit of swimming in the nude all the year round at the age of 73. "It's good for the gonads," he has been said to relate. He was recently startled that the sight of his naked body had caused a passer-by, suspecting suicide, to dial 999 and set off a full rescue attempt.
Behan swims a little further up the coast from the Brighton Swimming Club, whose members are decently, if scantily, clad on this sharp winter morning. First to re-emerge from the waves is Norman Saddleworth, 81, a former official receiver in the High Court. "My heart's feeling a bit tight," he says, "and the doctor's told me not to stay in too long." Mr Saddleworth celebrated his 80th birthday by swimming round the pier, a distance of three-quarters of a mile. "Luckily, it was in July," he concedes.
It was around that time of year that Tony Brannick, 62, a school caretaker, joined the club. "When I found out they did this all the year round, I thought they must be mad," he says. "But I kept going though the autumn and acclimatised myself. You have to build up to it or the cold would be too much of a shock to the system. Well, soon Christmas was on the horizon and I thought I might as well carry on."
So is it addictive? "I think it might be. I sometimes come down here feeling depressed and looking for excuses not to do it. But I know I'm going to feel good afterwards. It's like a mental glow," he adds, gingerly picking his way back across the stones in bare feet.
Everybody agrees that the walk back from the sea is the worst part. Angus Kennedy, who works shifts at Gatwick, remarks through chattering teeth that "it's like stepping on red-hot pokers. When your feet are so cold, that's what it feels like," says Mr Kennedy, who knows he's going to feel the better for it any time now.
"It does promote a feeling of well-being. I don't enjoy swimming baths. This is much more challenging and you can swim without interruption."
At 36, Mr Kennedy is very much the spring chicken. The average age of the year-round sea swimmers is 55. Yet there has been only one fatality in recent times. "An old boy had a stroke while he was drying himself off and expired in my arms with a giggle," Mr Sawyers recalls. "There was something he found enormously funny. I think he was determined that this was the way he wanted to go."
Attracting new blood has proved problematical. "Youngsters are a bit soft. They're used to heated swimming pools and continental holidays," mutters Mr Law. Although almost fully dressed, he is still shivering violently. These people are not just stoical but heroic in the way that they daily pit themselves against the elements.
Outside the bunker, a middle-aged Australian has been watching proceedings with bemusement bordering on astonishment. "How can they do that?" he asks. "When I went in the sea off Melbourne a few weeks ago, it was cold enough. It's summer at home, but I had to wear a wetsuit."
Well, it's good to know that there's at least one outdoor activity where we can show the Aussies a thing or two.

-- There have been lots of jokes going around WWE lately regarding the people that Triple H has hired. One joke is that he is surrounding himself with jacked up meatheads but at least he's getting fresh training partners.
-- Alex Riley is reportedly in the doghouse with WWE officials. No word on why as of this writing.

TWEET THIS ! http://goo.gl/bRCfF9
At this moment I am reading a report I received from the Maine Law Library- a report which was used to create The Maine Economic Development Corporation/ I have researched the Maine Development Foundation Corporation through the statutes but the report brings to light new information about The Maine Capital Corporation- a private investment corporation chartered by the Maine legislature which had the use of tax payer money in the form of offering tax credits for stock. It was chartered along side and contingent to The Maine Development Foundation Corporation.
All of the above being repugnant to the Maine Constitution, which prohibits the chartering of corporations by special acts of legislation with an exception for municipal purposes and if the objects of the corporation cannot be otherwise achieved. (Article Iv Part Third Sections 13 & 14)
Article X.Additional Provisions.
Section 3. Laws now in force continue until repealed. All laws now in force in this State, and not repugnant to this Constitution, shall remain, and be in force, until altered or repealed by the Legislature, or shall expire by their own limitation.
The record that I am reading shows that when originally chartered by special acts of legislation, both the Maine Capital Fund and The Maine Development Foundation had "sunset laws" meaning they would be phased out at a specified date. The Maine Capital Corporation was phased out to become the FAME corporation (Financial Authority of Maine). The Maine Development Foundation Corporation still exists today and has spawned a massive network of state corporations which collectively functions as a channel for redistributing wealth. 5 out of six of the recently passed bonds will be channeled through the system I call Maine State Inc which is intentionally designed, in my opinion, to be non-transparent to the public through the camouflage of fragmentation used to hide the whole system which is designed so that all the parts work together. This is evident in the fact that all the subsidiary corporations of Maine State Inc have names but Maine State Inc has no official name- it poses as the State of Maine but a state is governed by its constitution and the consent of the governed.
The Report- Governor's Task Force For Economic Redevelopment, Recommended Legislation For An Economic Development Program -110th Congress, 1976 - reads like a design for a new system of government.
2, eliminate the requirement for a local referendum on municipal bond issues.
<Noting that I have in the recent post, Missing Most Of The Economy , I referred to Mr Douglas Ray whom the state identifies as a "legislative liaisons" as "tax payer funded lobbyists for the DECD Corporation". Here you see that the architects creating the foundation stone of the corporate state also identify Mr Ray's function as a lobbyist. They just leave out the part that the lobbyist for the Maine Development Corporation is being funded by taxpayers to lobby the legislature in their own interest- or shall we say the interests of "public -private relationships" code for hegemonic power.
From that point forward. the document came across as arrogant, presumptive with intentionally feigned ignorance about the fact that there is a state constitution which is the foundation of the rule of law in Maine.
The report is a design for a new form of government which grants broad powers to "public private relationships" and un-elected boards as it conspires to take the power away from the people. This occurred only eight years since the Home Rule Amendment was added to the Maine State Constitution, which provides local governments with economic development authority within their own municipalities- a completely different political philosophy than the centrally managed economy that is designed in the report justifying the reasons to go against the Maine constitutional prohibition against the legislature chartering corporations by special acts of legislation to create the Maine Development Foundation Corporation.
1969 HOME RULE AMENDMENT provides municipalities with the authority to be agents of economic development. Governor Kenneth M. Curtis
Article VIII.
Part Second.
Municipal Home Rule.
Section 1. Power of municipalities to amend their charters. The inhabitants of any municipality shall have the power to alter and amend their charters on all matters, not prohibited by Constitution or general law, which are local and municipal in character. The Legislature shall prescribe the procedure by which the municipality may so act.
Section 2. Construction of buildings for industrial use. For the purposes of fostering, encouraging and assisting the physical location, settlement and resettlement of industrial and manufacturing enterprises within the physical boundaries of any municipality, the registered voters of that municipality may, by majority vote, authorize the issuance of notes or bonds in the name of the municipality for the purpose of purchasing land and interests therein or constructing buildings for industrial use, to be leased or sold by the municipality to any responsible industrial firm or corporation.
I am also reading a second report dated two years later;
REPORT OF THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON TAXATION ON ITS STUDY OF THE MAINE DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATIONOn the basis of its study, the Committee recommends: that the Maine Capital Corporation and its related tax legislation be subject to legislative review during the same period as the Legislature "sunset" review of ·the Maine Development Foundation; and that the Foundation's statutory purpose of "...promotion of an improved climate for economic development in the State .." be changed to regulate the use of State or other funds available to the Foundation to lobby the Legislature or to advocate to the public a position on initiative and referendum questions.
Today, when reading congressional hearings it is remarkable that most of the testimony comes from taxpayer funded lobbyists for the Maine Corporations's subsidiaries- or private members of the "public-private relationships" club.
Whether and to what extent the Foundation ought to be able to implement the statutory purpose of " ...promotion of an improved climate for economic development in the State ..." (10 MRSA §917, sub-§6), and especially the ex tent to which the Foundation should be permitted to use State funds or any other resources available to it to lobby the Legislature or to publicly or privately promote its position on a major, controversial issue.
The Committee recommends legislation in the first and third areas (a text of the recommended legislation is Appendix 4) :
2. The Committee recommends repeal of the liberal construction clause and revision of the Foundation's purpose clause relating to "creating a climate for economic development." This is to clarify that the Foundation, in creating a climate for economic development, may conduct objective analyses and attempt to develop broad consensus on issues of significance to the economic health of Maine, provided that its activities do not require it to register with the State as a lobbyist employer and that it does not advocate to the public a position on an initiative or referendum question. (emphasis mine)
1977 The Maine Capital Corporation
Investment corporation authorized by.the legislature under 'Title 13-A: MAINE BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT , established in 1971 despite constitutional prohibitions found in Article IV part Third Section 14 prohibiting the legislature from chartering corporations for state purposes. Title 13-A is now repealed as was planned under the sunset laws- but it has been reincarnated throughout the network of Maine State Inc.
The original enabling legislation for the Maine Capital Corporation was passed in l977- the same year that the Maine Development Foundation Corporation was also chartered by special act of legislation.. It was later amended to broaden the purpose of the Corporation and clarify its ability to use a wide range of investment instruments.
The organizational phase of MCC extended long period of time, primarily due to the challenge of selling its 10,000 shares of common stock ($1,000,000) to private investors. MCC has never received a direct State appropriation and this meant it had·to find other means for covering its organizational expenses. The stock issue was marketed by the firm of Burgcss & Leith Incorporated for the modest commission of $20,000 plus $5000 expense fee. Burgcss & Leith was assisted by the Maine Development Foundation, (Corporation)which was not compensated for its efforts.
Tax Consequences
Tax factors related to MCC were detailed on pp. 34-35 of the Offering Memorandum (see Appendix I). The major provision that would affect State.tax revenues was the Maine income tax credit of·fifty percent spread over a minimum of five years, available to investors in MCC's stock. We have no knowledge of which investors have availed themselves of this credit and to what degree. We do know it ls instrumental in mobilizing tho capital, .as intended by the legislature
This tax credit is capped by a number of features, all included in the legislation. At a maximum it would be $500,000 spread out over at least five (5) years. As MCC makes more investments, with positive economic consequences, tax benefits to the State will accrue which sooner or later will surpass the costs.- Source Governor's Task Force For Economic Redevelopment, Recommended Legislation For An Economic Development Program -110th Congress, 1976
commentary: The MCC is the precursor to The Financial Authority Of MaineCorporation- which tells us in its charter that " Any benefits accruing to private individuals or associations, as a result of the activities of the authority, are deemed by the Legislature to be incidental to the public purposes to be achieved by the implementation of this chapter.

City of Glendale delivers on $25M pledge to NHL
May 27, 2010, 6:35 PM EST
The City of Glendale made good on the $25 million promise it made to the NHL for loses the league dealt with regarding the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes. The Arizona Republic has details on the situation, including where exactly the money is coming from.
The money in the enterprise funds comes from fees paid by businesses and residents for public services such as trash, water and sewer, landfill and housing. The fund absorbs revenue shortfalls in enterprise departments such as water and sewer, repays debt for capital projects and covers the cost of regulatory requirements, according to the city.
Art Lynch, the city's former chief financial officer who now consults with the city, insisted this week that tapping into the enterprise fund is not using taxpayer dollars. Rather, it is a fee paid by residents and businesses who use city services.
The city transferred $25 million out of the enterprise account and into an account which the NHL can begin to draw upon in September, under the deal between the league and Glendale signed May 20.The city agreed to pay the NHL for "actual cash losses" for the team and the arena management that could start accruing in July.
The agreement states that Glendale is off the financial hook if the city finds a viable owner, approved by the NHL, by Dec. 31.
Obviously, the sale of the Coyotes is still in a state of flux. There might be more than two potential buyers, but Ice Edge or Jerry Reinsdorf's group still seems the most likely to be the team's owners if they stay in the Phoenix area. At least at the moment. Up might be down and vice versa by next week.
It's nice to hear that taxpayers aren't going to take on the burden of paying the debts. It's clear that the Coyotes' longterm home is still a blurry vision, but it's not necessarily a guarantee that they won't stay in the desert.
As always, we'll keep you up to date regarding this situation as the tide turns again and again and again …

House prices increase to new high
Related Articles
Published: 15 October 2013
A 0.5% month-on-month uplift took the average price across the UK to £247,000, meaning the index surpassed a previous peak recorded in January 2008, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Prices were 3.8% higher year on year, with England recording the strongest annual growth at 4.1%, followed by 1.1% in Northern Ireland and 1.0% in Wales, while Scotland saw prices fall by 0.7% over the year typically.
The housing market is expected to see the heat of demand from would-be buyers turned up further over the coming months, following the launch of the Government's new Help to Buy scheme, which offers state-backed mortgages to people with deposits as low as 5%.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), NatWest, Halifax and Bank of Scotland started offering loans under the initiative last week and have reported strong interest so far, while more lenders including HSBC, Barclays and Santander have also confirmed their plans to come on board.
Some sharp increases in property prices in recent months have fuelled fears that the country could be heading for a property "bubble", with the new phase of Help to Buy pushing up demand for homes at a time when the number of properties for sale is in relatively short supply.
The ONS figures showed that first-time buyers are typically paying £185,000 for a property, which is 4.9% more than they would have done a year ago, while home-movers are paying £283,000 on average, marking a 3.3% annual increase.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, warned that the Government's efforts to kick-start the market could actually result in properties being pushed further out of some people's reach as house prices increase.
He said: "Our rollercoaster housing market may make headlines, but these days rising house prices don't have the feel-good factor, and for good reason. Nobody wants a return to the bad old days of house prices rising then crashing.
"Unless house prices are stabilised, the grim reality is that - apart from a lucky few able to rely on the bank of mum and dad - soaring prices may well lead to the prospect of home ownership slipping even further away from even more of us."
Every region across England saw house prices rise year-on-year in August, with the strongest growth recorded in London at 8.7%.
House prices in England are now 1.3% higher than their previous 2008 peak, although in Scotland and Wales, prices are still around 5% below their peaks and in Northern Ireland they are 50% below their previous high.
After London, the East and West Midlands recorded the next biggest rises across England, with annual uplifts of 3.8% and 3.5% respectively.
The ONS figures also showed how house prices are picking up in the northern regions as the housing market revival spreads.
The North West and North East recorded annual price rises of 2.3% and 2.2% respectively, only just lagging behind increases of 2.5% and 2.6% in the South East and South West.
Howard Archer, chief European and UK economist for IHS Global Insight, said: " While the strength of house price rises in London is becoming an increasing concern and pushing up the overall national increase in house prices, we are currently a long way off from an overall housing market bubble emerging.
"Indeed, in many areas house prices are still well below their 2007 peak levels and rising only modestly at the moment."
But he cautioned: "Nevertheless, there is a mounting danger that house prices could really take off over the coming months, especially if already significantly improving housing market activity and rising buyer interest is lifted appreciably further by the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme."
A Treasury spokesman said : "We're encouraged to see signs that house prices are recovering from a low base alongside the wider economy.
"However, the Government understands that the housing and mortgage markets are yet to return to their long run levels, leaving too many people - especially first-time buyers - struggling to afford historically high level of deposits.
"That's why the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee is a vital tool to give young people the same opportunity to get a foot on the property ladder as previous generations."
A member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, which sets interest rates, warned that Help to Buy could force up house prices and said it should not become "a permanent feature of our economy".
Martin Weale warned that house prices are rising "appreciably more rapidly" than might have been predicted, and said there was a risk that Help to Buy will increase upwards pressure by adding to demand while supply of new homes is weak.
In written evidence to the House of Commons Treasury Committee, Dr Weale said: " The extra liquidity offered by the Help to Buy scheme may encourage house-building, but I share the previous governor's (Lord King's) view that it should not become a permanent feature of our economy.
"While reports on the first stage of the scheme suggest that it has had a substantial influence, with 2,000 buyers a month benefiting, this number is small compared with the overall number of housing transactions.
"It was quite possible that demand-side indicators will continue to show further buoyancy. While supply of new houses is also likely to increase, for current levels of loan approvals, house prices are rising appreciably more rapidly than would have been predicted on the basis of the relationship between the two for the period before the crisis.
"There is obviously a risk that, if the mortgage guarantee element of Help to Buy is not priced satisfactorily, it will add to demand while supply is weak, leading to increased pressure on prices."
Dr Weale added: " Rising house prices may make people feel cheerful and more prosperous, thereby supporting household spending. But rising house prices impose a burden on those who do not yet own houses but aspire to in the future. Like government borrowing, rising house prices can crowd out productive investment.
"We are also very aware that developments in the housing markets can pose risks to financial stability. This risk is high if lending is taking place on the basis of poor security or with little margin to spare should prices turn down."
Dr Weale's comments came in a written submission ahead of a Treasury Committee hearing on his reappointment to the MPC for a second term.

Oregon won a $9.5 million federal grant called Metro Step, to train and upgrade the skills of current workers.
The grant money will be used over a four-year period for 25 area companies including IBM, Boeing and Esco. The first wave of money will be used starting this April.
At Benchmade Knife Company in Oregon City, 20,000 square feet of new manufacturing space has been added and the company is looking for workers.
"It's a hard grind trying to find the right people for the right job," said Rob Morrison, Director of marketing for Benchmade.
